From humble beginnings, Jesus Christ grew to be a major Jewish leader in the First Century AD, gaining a huge group of followers, but also a faction of Jewish priests who resented his teachings and growing power. Christians believe Jesus was born to Mary, who was a virgin but is purported to have conceived through the works of the Holy Spirit (7). She discovered this when the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and told her she would give birth to Jesus, the Son of God (11-Luke 1.26-35). Ironically, although our entire calendar is based on the tradition of Jesus’ birth taking place in the year 1 AD, this is probably not the case. The Bible doesn’t list specific dates, only reference points such as the Roman governor at the time Jesus was born.…

Moses was born in secret, since Hebrew boys were being killed at birth. Eventually his mother gave him up and he was found by the pharaoh’s daughter.

It was apparently a nightmare for them as they fought and killed for their lives using guns and bullets, perhaps just like anyone who desires to exercise the right to self-preservation – which is socially constructed by most of the societies including our country – in the midst of a fire fight.
