Evidence for the Resurrection
Easter is blooming, and I've decided to share a bit on the life death and Resurrection.
I'm presenting things for people to look into. Everyone is free to make up their minds, but we should try to be objective.
No matter what anyone believes, this can give us something to think about at leisure.
I really hope everyone has a wonderfully, rich Easter Season.

For Part 2 (focussing on Jesus' resurrection), click here: Proving God's Existence - Part 2.
I've decided to split this up into 2 parts. The first part is what's called the 'General Revelation' - where general truths that can be known about God through nature (eg. Psalm 19); and 'Special Revelation' - which is God revealing Himself through His Son Jesus, which you can read above.
This is once again a response to a 'debate' I've been having with someone. There are two main areas I want to focus on when it comes to God's existence: the Cosmological Argument - because of what I've learned about just how "fine-tuned' our Universe is (plus a bit
Old Testament Law vs. New Covenant Grace by ServantofJesus, journal
Old Testament Law vs. New Covenant Grace
This, of course, is from a Christian/Biblical worldview, and so does not reflect the views of the Jewish believers who don't believe Jesus was the Messiah; despite the evidence to the contrary (such as Isiah 53, and the sceptre departing from Israel after Jesus was born, etc.)
I wasn't sure whether to do this as an actual Deviation, or just consign it to being my latest journal - so I thought I'd choose the latter option. If anyone thinks this might be suited as a Deviation, do let me know (and if possible, what the reason would be) :thumbsup:
There has been many an attack by Atheists, critics, and the like concerning what the Bible teaches

The Jewish [Messianic] Jesus
This is a response to those Anti-Semitic "Christians" who doesn't believe Jesus was even [born] a Jew, which directly contradicts the whole plan of Salvation for both the Jews and Gentiles. And through this belief is the justification that Adolph Hitler, therefore was "without sin" for murdering all those millions of Jews, because they were seen as an "inferior race" to humanity.

Ho. ly. COW. So I was thinking about my new filk song, Elijah, and the scene at Mt. Carmel which it describes.

So apparently I go to reply to someone who said that the passage in Isaiah 7:14 that the Hebrew word Almah meant Virgin and that translating it to Virgin was completely reasonable during the publishing of the Septuagint in 200 AD. What people often use to take advantage of is ignorance in the process. Dr. Cyrus Gordon said the following, "The commonly held view that “virgin” is Christian, whereas “young woman” is Jewish is not quite true. The fact is that the Septuagint, which is the Jewish translation made in pre-Christian Alexandria, takes almah to mean “virgin” here. Accordingly, the New Testament follow
