I hope I'm not bringing alot of confusion . Somebody can ask this question , was Jesus death necessaryfor remission of our sins ? What would you say ?

Well, I agree with with you nebula .but does this leave us with assumption that it wasn't in Gods plans or inaccurate coincident. Somebody might wonder was it necessary for this sanguinary of innocent blood to occur just as section of bible fulfilment (Mat 2:18) Tribulations is also another incident to come , that's why Jesus felt pity to the women who'll be breastfeeding as well as those who'll be pregnant . (Mat 24:19) This implies still innocent babies and infants will not escape death under whichever circumstances . Have everyone thought of a way to avoid such tragic or wonder why God of mercy should allow it . Unless we admit a slightest negligence in our bible studies.

Here is a controversial issues that during Jesus' birth , lives of innocent babies were lost through Herod's hands . One thing I don't know if they died as martyrs. Secondly whether the parents who were affected remained to bless Jesus or cursed him the entire of their life . Thirdly and most crucial, did Jesus die as compensation for the slayed babies or for our sin?

Very satisfied kwik !

I'm still in Jesus . When he died , his tomb were guarded my Roman authorities .was this just a formal routine to Roman empire especially when somebody was executed , or Jesus was very special for that case . Why do you think this people decided to guard his tomb ?

Precisely nice answer kwikphilly !

One thing I fail to understand is why was Herod deadly feared baby Jesus as a king . And if he was to become earthly king ,it would take long time by then Herod would be old enough to retire. Did Herod believed he would be everlasting king ?

I'll fully contribute my dear OneLight ,but before I do soI think it'll be best if I read others comme,including yours . So what do you suggest?

These terms once always referred to an individual's freedom of religious belief, of religious speech, and of religious practice. The individual believer was the target of oppression by others. That is the meaning that we generally use on this web site. However, in recent years, the terms seem to be taking on a new meaning: the religious freedom and liberty of a believer to hate, oppress, denigrate, or reduce the human rights of other groups. Now it is the believer who is the oppressor and others who are the target. This new meaning is becoming increasingly common. It appears that this new meaning is begin driven by a number of factors: The increasing public acceptance of women's use of birth control/contraceptives The increasing public acceptance of sexual minorities including the LGBT community (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgender persons and transsexuals) The increasing percentage of NOTAs in North America: those who are NOT Affiliated with an organized faith group. Some are Agnostics, Atheists, etc. Others describe themselves as spiritual, but not religious.

The practice of witchcraft / voodoo / obeah is becoming increasingly widespread. It is prevalent in Africa, however it is gaining popularity in the West. Classified ads direct us to those who can help us win back lost love, make anyone fall in love with us, steal someone else’s wealth and prosperity, etc. Some of these are charlatans and fakes, but some really “deal” with the devil. The practice of divination is as old as the Old Testament, where witches and sorcerers obtained messages from demon spirits. So this is a real phenomenon. I have heard reports of persons sprinkling potions in someone else’s food to make them fall in love with them. Others try to bring curses on people using items of clothing. Witchcraft comes in many forms and is very real. So my question is does this kind traditional remote -controlled technology really affect Christians ?

The April issue of Everyday Gospel Magazine featured an article written by Dr. Marc LaMont Hill who touched on the subject of the epidemic of prosperity teaching in the church. I’d like to add my views to the discussion. I feel compelled to talk about this because of the overwhelming number of television preachers and evangelists who are preaching about prosperity. The preaching of the prosperity message in today’s church boils down to one thing: greed.

Most Christians would readily agree that in some way or another, physical healing is included as part of Jesus’ atonement. If it is not received in this life, definitely it will be in the next one. But the real question that causes division is, “Does the atonement of Jesus guarantee physical healing in this life?” When put this way, even the most diehard Pentecostal would admit to the contrary.

It has been customary for all, except for the occasional infant, to have their genital area and buttocks covered when in public. Females over a few years of age are normally expected to also wear coverings over their nipples. Decades ago, men were required to wear tops, even at the beach. Recently, thong bathing suits, which expose almost the entire buttock area, have changed our concept of acceptable clothing in many areas of North America. Some jurisdictions allow women to go topless. Naturists believe that if weather, location and laws permit, activities such as sports, swimming, hiking and relaxing in a social environment can be enjoyed without the necessity of wearing clothing. " Naturism is not the exploitation of nakedness, exhibitionism, a religion, or a cult...Naturists accept and admire the beauty of the human body as it is, regardless of age, gender or form." 1 Some people oppose social nudity (also called nudism and naturism) and would like to criminalize it even if it is confined to private naturist resorts. Some feel that nudity, when practiced within a family, is a form of child sexual abuse. Many people feel awkward when a woman breast-feeds her infant in public. Topless women can be arrested in most of North America, even though the practice is generally accepted on European beaches.

The Muslim al-Aksa Foundation and Cultural Heritage Organization blamed Israel for the collapse of an area near the Bab as Silsila on the western side of the al-Aksa Mosque on the Temple Mount. The organization accused Israel of "paving the way for demolishing the al-Aksa Mosque by building new settlements and digging dozens of tunnels," Turkey's Anadolu news agency reported. www.cbn.com/cbnnews/insideisrael/2013/August/Israel-Blamed-for-Collapse-on-Temple-Mount/

What I don't know is whether these sect of people did that through God's inspiration or their own invention .
