    ACTS & FACTS ^ | October 2009 | Randy J. Guliuzza, P.E., M.D.
    boom in affordable housing in the 1950s was helped by the invention of a distinctive multifunctional piece of equipment: the backhoe. Its strong yet relatively slender articulated arm allowed precise yet rapid placement for digging or lifting. The manipulative device is trim and fast, since hoses transfer power to it from a powerful hydraulic pump within the main chassis. The "arm" of the backhoe makes many people think the equipment design is similar to a human arm, but what makes it so versatile is that it is actually more like a giant human finger. If a valuable piece of equipment...

    We all know the story of Lazarus. By the time in the story when Jesus is weeping, he is fairly clear about the fact He is going to raise Lazarus from the dead. Thus the tears are not necessary for grieving Lazarus. So, why the tears? Why does Jesus weep? Perhaps the tears are a result of Jesus feeling the pain of grief on two close friends. Seeing the hurt in their own lives, the pain present in their eyes and their voices might cause Jesus to weep. He might hurt because two of his friends hurt, and when we...

    Today is the feast of the great priest, Doctor, Church Father, Scripture scholar, translator, and apologist St. Jerome (347-420). From the Holy Father's November 7, 2007, General Audience: Jerome refuted with energy and liveliness the heretics who contested the tradition and faith of the Church. He also demonstrated the importance and validity of Christian literature, which had by then become a real culture that deserved to be compared with classical literature: he did so by composing his De Viris Illustribus, a work in which Jerome presents the biographies of more than a hundred Christian authors. Further, he wrote biographies of...

    Last night I was watching a Fox News report of the recent drying of the River Euphrates which extends into Iraq and Iran. I thought to myself: well that sounds familiar ... where have I heard that before? One Google search later, I was confronted with a Bible verse from the book of Revelation, 16:12.

    Community members are rallying around Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School cheerleaders after they were banned from displaying signs with Bible verses urging fans and players to commit to the Lord and take courage and do it. The banners the paper ones that football players crash through at the beginning of games have been common sights in the schools football stadium since 2003, local officials say. The cheerleaders are not trying to push a religious cause, to shove religion down someones throat, said local youth minister Brad Scott, who was LFO Highs class president in 2004. The cheerleaders are just...
  • T. Rex Cousin Evolved 60 Million Years Too Early

    The most popular dinosaur is probably Tyrannosaurus rex, a Latin term that loosely translates as king lizard. Based on evolutionary assumptions, scientists have long held that these dinosaurs lived for only 3 million years, approximately 68 to 65 million years ago. A fossil looking remarkably like a small version of T. rex, however, has been located in a much lower rock layer.[1] Using the evolutionary dates assigned to the relevant strata, this adds 60 million years to the T. rex timeline. If the evolutionary interpretation was this wrong about one creature, can it be trusted on the rest of the...

    Egyptian coins carrying the name of Joseph, the biblical patriarch whose arrival in Egypt as a slave eventually provided salvation for his family during decades of drought across the Middle East, have been discovered in a cache of antique items shelved in boxes in a museum, according to a new report. The report from the Middle East Media Research Institute said the coins with Joseph's name and image were found in a pile of unsorted artifacts that had been stored at the Museum of Egypt. MEMRI, which monitors and translates reports from Middle East publications and broadcasters, said the original...

Speaking in an interview to be published Thursday, the Prime Minister admitted he had come to terms with dividing the Land of Israel. The land is already divided. How it will [yet] be divided, that is the question, the newspaper reports. In the interview, Netanyahu insisted that the new reality required practical solutions. How will the land be divided? Territory-wise, there have been those who predicted the land would be divided according to the 1967 armistice lines, which is not acceptable to me. Israel requires defensible...

    At this point, it may be useful to some if I document my prayer and meditation routine. It also helps me set down the path I took to reach the stage that I'm at so I may return to the routine if I become lost or go astray. Besides my study of Swedenborg's Heavenly Secrets (I'm now up to Genesis 41), my morning prayer routine consists of centering prayer where I set my intention on God. If I find my mind preoccupied with replaying the tapes and memories of the past, I close my eyes and begin contemplative prayer. It's...

He encourages equality before the law as well as equality within the church. Here is the introduction to his letter. Every LGBTQQ Christian should take the time to read his words.

    Vanda Terrell is still getting used to saying it. "Let's open our Bibles," the veteran Plano ISD teacher tells students daily at two public high schools in the district. And it's legal for her to do it. A new state law requires that Texas public schools incorporate Bible literacy into the curriculum. But the law provides no specific guidelines, funding for materials or teacher training. So high schools are left scrambling to figure out what to teach and how to teach it. A handful of North Texas districts are offering an elective class, but most are choosing instead to embed...

The New International Version, the Bible of choice for conservative evangelicals, will be revised to reflect changes in English usage and advances in Biblical scholarship, it was announced Tuesday. The revision is scheduled to be completed late next year and published in 2011. We want to reach English speakers across the globe with a Bible that is accurate, accessible and that speaks to its readers in a language they can understand, said...

    The changes did not make all men "people" or remove male references to God, but instead involved dropping gender-specific terms when translators judged that the original text didn't intend it. So in some verses, references to "sons of God" became "children of God," for example. Supporters say gender-inclusive changes are more accurate and make the Bible more accessible, but critics contend they twist meaning or smack of political correctness.

    Christian Post ^ | 9/1/2009 | Jennifer Riley
    The New International Version of the Bible is by far the most preferred translation of the Scripture, according to a new survey of U.S. evangelical leaders. More than 65 percent of the participating leaders named the NIV as their preferred Bible in a survey conducted by the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) in light of the NIVs 30th anniversary this year. New Bible translations face large competition to gain a foothold in churches and homes but once established they have long staying power, commented Leith Anderson, president of the NAE, which claims to represent 30 million evangelicals. And, the NIV...

    Davids message 7 September 2008 The Scriptures We attending this small fellowship have made a choice. We have chosen to be defenders of the Faith, and being of like mind to worship together in order to encourage and edify one another in our walk with Christ and bring glory to Gods name. An awful alternative would be to fellowship with apostates and heretics- a journey of compromise and error. There is no middle-of-the-road. What then is deemed to be heresy and apostasy? Heresy is an opinion or doctrine at variance with orthodox or accepted doctrine evidenced in Gods Word. Apostasy...

The 132-page, book-like document, printed in symbols representing a mathematical code, is made of an unknown metallic fiber that is impervious to fire or weather and cannot be cut or torn.

    WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Separation of church and state is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution but that doesn't mean the Bible can't be admired and appreciated by a public or government institution. Take the Library of Congress in Washington. It has an immense Bible collection, one augmented with modern technology. The interactive equipment available in the Library of Congress is making the Scriptures accessible to a high-tech generation, said Robert M. Sokol, project manager for the "New Visitors Experience" program at the largest library in the world. The most celebrated Bibles in the collection are the Gutenberg Bible and the Giant...

  • Radical Clerics Support Ethnic Cleansing and Abortion

    A recent survey was conducted among clergy of mostly non-evangelical churches. The survey found that a full 51% of those clergy support legalized abortion. Also according to the survey: "Two-thirds of mainline clergy disagree that "the Bible is the inerrant word of God, both in matters of faith and in historic, geographical, and other secular matters." Which serves to explain these other findings: * Sixty-five percent support either same-sex marriage or civil unions. * Fifty-four percent do not support the teaching of creationism alongside evolution in public school biology classes. * Forty-three percent disagree that evolution is the best explanation...

    Here is video about Zion Oil Entrepreneur John Brown who says he was guided by the Bible to look for Oil in Israel. He based his search on Genesis 41, where God told Jacob He would bless his land, and where it speaks of "the deep that lies beneath." Part of his desire to find Oil Reserves in the Holy Land is to help Israel become energy independent. Other companies are also looking for oil in Israel, and huge reserves of Natural Gas have recently been found off the coast of Israel. . . . . (Watch Video)

    2. What are the dates of these documents? The crucifixion of Christ took place, it is generally agreed, about AD 30. According to Luke iii. I, the activity of John the Baptist, which immediately preceded the commencement of our Lord's public ministry, is dated in 'the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar'. Now, Tiberius became emperor in August, AD 14, and according to the method of computation current in Syria, which Luke would have followed, his fifteenth year commenced in September or October, AD a7.1 The fourth Gospel mentions three Passovers after this time; the third Passover from that date would...
