one would be asserting that the text was conceived and written after the birth of Christ‚ while being disguised as a book written before the birth of Christ and coinciding with the New Testament. The New Testament prophecy fulfillment of Matthew 26:15 and Matthew 27:5‚ is the Old Testament prophecy found in Zechariah 11:13. This prophecy is regarding the price set for the capture of Jesus Christ‚ and the command to throw the silver into the temple; which is recorded in the New Testament of Judas performing

the Gospel “good news” for wo/men? Honestly‚ if we only scratch the surface‚ it is not. Wo/men are unnamed‚ unrepresented‚ set aside‚ and disregarded in the vast majority of this collection of books which is at the center of our religious tradition. Mary Magdala is a quintessential example of how what we do with the memory of wo/men in the Bible. How we remember them and their witness in the life of Jesus Christ. However‚ when we truly begin to unveil the masks which we impose on the Gospel‚ we begin

The small story in Matthew 24: 42-44 compares the coming of Christ with a “thief” (Matthew 24:43) breaking into someone’s house at night. This small story tells us that Jesus is going to be coming at an hour that no one on earth will be expecting. The central message of the story is that Jesus wants his children to “keep watch” (Matthew 24:42) and “be ready” (Matthew 24:44) for Jesus when He comes at this unexpected hour. The story before Matthew 24: 42-44 is found in Matthew 24:36-4‚ which tells

Instead of focusing on his divinity like in Luke or his miracles in Mark‚ this film explored the more human side of Jesus of Nazareth‚ who faced many of the same struggles every human does while on Earth. In modern Christianity‚ Jesus is often portrayed as someone who stands apart from and above humanity. “The Last Temptation of Christ” instead entrenches
