David's Story

David was a fine Jewish boy, who excelled in his studies and was well-liked by everyone. However, he attended a Catholic school.

They knew nothing of their Jewish heritage, and so, although they weren't enthusiastic about putting him in a religious school, they weren't troubled either. David continued a

Was Jesus' Last Supper a Passover Seder?

Ask virtually anyone: "Was Jesus' Last Supper a Passover seder?" and the response is likely to be "Of course!" Yet, Jesus could not have known what a "seder" was, let alone have modeled his Last Supper after one. The elements of even the primitive seder originated decades after he died. The Gospels date Jesus' ministry to the period of Pontius Pilate, Roman prefect of Judea from 26 C.E. to early 37 C.E. Jesus' year of death is unknown; scholars settle on between 30 and 33 C.E. At that time, th

Why Troubling Times Lasted 62 Weeks For Daniel

Continued from Part 5 Following these forty-nine years is a period of “troubled times” lasting sixty-two weeks or 434 years.

How The Romans Continued To Persecute The Jewish People

Continued from Part 9 The Romans were ever vigilant against a Jewish insurrection. Tenacious in their loyalty to ancestral beliefs and customs Jews presented Rome with a unique security problem, once their religious sensibilities were aroused. Moreover, there was the Jewish refusal to practice the formalities of state worship. This inevitably brought the charge of disloyalty, from their detractors, especially among the Hellenized Gentile communities. Judea showed the least appreciable increas

What The Gospels Truly Say About Jesus Being Afflicted

Continued from Part 6 Jesus’ popularity in review: Do the Gospel’s describe Jesus as a person who “was despised and rejected,” or from whom people fled? The words: “He was despised and rejected of men … and as one from whom men hide their faces … and we esteemed him not” cannot be applied to Jesus if one is to believe the Gospel narratives. The Gospels claim that Jesus enjoyed widespread popularity during his lifetime among all classes of society. The evangelists report that the chief prie

Would Angels Lie?

According to the New Testament, angels attested to the resurrection of Jesus. Would angels lie? Answer: First of all, the New Testament never claims that any angels actually saw Jesus rise from the dead. Beyond this, the New Testament angelic announcement texts following a supposed resurrection of Jesus create some serious problems. Some of the Gospels allege that angels directed that the disciples should meet Jesus in Galilee (Mark 16:7, Matthew 28:7). While John 21:1 says the disciples went
