If Jesus had not spoken on behalf of the women‚ she would have suffered this fate. She would have been drugged‚ possibly naked‚ through the streets to scare people of her punishment. The hole would already be dug waiting for her. The men would bind her hands and feet and lower her body into the hole and fill it up with dirt. The taunting would start urging her to try and break free of her bonds to run‚ the only chance of survival. The woman would writhe and try with tears streaming down her face

Jesus of the Gospels The beginning of Jesus’ final week on earth began with Palm Sunday. This is where Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey to celebrate passover. People welcomed Jesus by throwing palms under his donkey. This was so that the donkey would not touch the ground. This was kind of the ’red carpet’ treatment even though a donkey was equivalent to a poor man’s car nowadays. Even though Jesus is all powerful‚ he chose to ride on a donkey. This juxtaposition shows Jesus’ humility

think about the way Jesus is portrayed in the different gospels? I think Jesus is portrayed as a righteous man who has a lot of power and influence. In the Gospels Jesus is also portrayed as God. In my understanding of the Gospels I believe Jesus is portrayed as the only perfect person to ever walk on the face of the earth. I believe that Jesus is portrayed as having some prophet-like knowledge‚ and he never goes out of his way to explain who he is. The Gospels portray Jesus as a divine being and

The Spanish Christ Baltasar Espinosa is Borges "Spanish Christ." The Gospel of Mark written by Jorge Luis Borges‚ is ironically connected to the life of our Christ. There are many cosmic ironies in this portrayal being made through Espinosa. The ripe age of 33; a beard; the eagerness to listen and obey; and the pet lamb are all ironic‚ seeing how they all relate and are some of the very same characteristics our Christ had. Espinosa a medical student‚ is traveling to La Colorada in Argentina

The bodily resurrection of Jesus is positively vital in the declaration of the gospel. Lacking the gospel is not superior news‚ other than awful news. The news will be just a simple person who was cruelly beaten and killed for profanity. In what way could the apostles present this news‚ if they did not when through the bodily resurrection? There would be not any. This is why the resurrection is a necessary element of the gospel. In addition‚ basically declare that the resurrection take place would
