Before watching the video, I did have an unfair advantage as I have been to Europe, the Middle East and around much of the world. So, I had already sided with Dr. Licona that Jesus did indeed die on the cross. His first verse, I feel like it didn’t back his argument up very well. His first reason is that the reports are early and originate with the apostles. Then that Jesus’s execution was found in many different manuscripts. All, these manuscripts is the strongest form of evidence that anyone could ever ask for. It comes not only from believers, but non-believers as well. Which is to say that we aren’t skewed in what we imagine of Jesus or his crucifixion. Then, the most obvious reason is that anatomically is impossible. You endure so much torture that your body can’t handle the pain of the torture and the agony of being crucified. Thus far in the debate, there are five arguments that make a strong case for the death on the cross. The evidence is so strong that nearly persuaded one-hundred percent of the sceptics. I respect the writings that are found in the Bible. So, in Matthew 16:21-23 it says:
“21 From then on Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would

How? By discussing the resurrection of our Lord and Savior. Which in my mind is already showing signs of defeat. He, is doing this, because of his arguments that he had based beforehand had been proven incorrect. Ismail, then claims that Jesus could’ve been a false prophet essentially. He wants him to debate on both the crucifxtion and resurrection because they are supposedly “intertwined”. If it’s not too much it’s almost as if he is resembling the devil in some senses. He seems as if he is trying to use the bible to boosts the Koran. But, that may just be my

Setting (7:1–13). “After this, Jesus went around in Galilee, purposely staying away from Judea because the Jews there were waiting to take his life. But when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near, Jesus’ brothers said to him, ‘You ought to leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may see the miracles you do. No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things show yourself to the world.’ For even his own brothers did not

In the way a central theme and message seen throughout this section is discipleship. Mark 10:32 whereby he returns to Jerusalem to face his death, is one of the central verses to show the commitment and passion Jesus had to fullfill the mission set out to him by God.
Jesus' decision to physically cast out the moneylenders from the temple stands as one of the most interesting events of his life, because it represents what seems to be the only moment in the Gospel narratives where he becomes visibly angry to the point of physical action. While one could argue that Jesus is frequently (and justifiably) angry with the disciples from time to time, this is the only moment that Jesus' anger moves him to physical force. Although the event is recorded in all four of the Gospels, this study will focus specifically on its rendering in Matthew, because when considered in the context of Matthew's larger narrative, one can see how Jesus' decision to cleanse the temple does not represent an aberration in either his character or theological message, but rather the natural culmination of Jesus' life and works prior to that point, and demonstrates a kind of revolutionary, anti-authoritarian element of Jesus' message of salvation that is all too often overlooked by Christians and critics alike.
Although Capernaum was Jesus' earthly headquarters, its citizenry ignored his prophetic pronouncements and even questioned Jesus' authority. Jesus responded thusly, "I tell you the truth, unless you can eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you." (John 6: 53) Many in the crowd, upon hearing this, "turned back and no longer followed him." (John 60: 61, 66)
Jesus preached about His beliefs with God, and all his Glory. He went around telling people that he was the son of God. These accusations raised chaos with the Jews. He was brought to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest. They were looking for any kind of evidence, or excuse to kill Jesus. “The high priest
People from Mexico during the years 1900-today influenced life in the USA in a positive manner. These people emigrated because of economic opportunity and brought their culture with them. The community into which they moved responded with both positive and negative opinions. Short term influences include Mexican food, Mexican events like Cinco de Mayo, Mexican music, and many other things from their culture. 2nd generation immigrants influence the amount of cheap labor filled up in the country, and Mexican culture being accepted into the mainstream such as entertainment. Long term impact of these immigrants may result in general acceptance of Mexican immigration, a backlash against the Mexican immigration, or possibly easier ways to move
They had enjoyed a time of fellowship with Jesus and teaching from Him. But He was now preparing them to understand that he was going to leave them. This was one of the factors that were going to turn these believers world upside down and bring and opportunity to turn the world upside down. Because he was teaching his disciples.

Certain books have changed my entire outlook on life, other books have made me question everything I know. I have a strong opinion on certain things, but when I read in other peopls point of view i start to understand things in a better way. Every book has a different impact on my thinking. One author that has changed my thinking an incredible amount is, my favorite author, Jonathan Safran Foer because his writing is extremely powerful. Although I have only read one of his books I plan on reading many more because his style of writing is completely different then any other author I have ever seen.
Peter Paul Reubens, “The Raising of The Cross” found on page 265 in our art book, was created 1610-1611 by the use of oil on panel, dimensions 462 x 339 cm. Many facets of this painting caught my attention, but the prime facet was the geometric support it influences and the sentimental effect it distributes to the spectators, also Reuben’s motive and content behind the painting.
When it comes to the crucifixion of Jesus, there are many different arguments that appeal to specific peoples’ beliefs or arguments as to what makes the most sense. What really is the determining factor though when we are deciding how we portray Jesus’ death? Is it our faith? Is it what logically makes the most sense to us? Is it what we are taught growing up by our parents or Sunday school? Could it possibly a mixture of all of those factors? Either way, we all have different beliefs and ideas when it comes to His death. One of the most popular arguments for Jesus’ crucifixion is that the reason he died was purely in place of us due to our sins; he was the ultimate sacrifice. In this paper, I will argue from a logical standpoint that not only does this theory not make sense, but Jesus’ life and choices were related to his crucifixion as well. The most logical circumstance is that, instead, Jesus died as a ransom.
Before Jesus left, He said to his disciples, "You tarry in Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high." And He said, "You will receive power after that when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And then you will be my witnesses, in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria and to the utter-most parts of the earth."
Now-a-days it seems like religion has become somewhat of a taboo. It has fallen on the back burners, pushed behind things such as famous actors that people look up to or things portrayed in the media. The thing is, the most important figure in history is part of religion and should be revered much more than the idolized actors of today. The human population has become blind to spiritual life and has become engulfed by a social lifestyle. If you look around, people have forgotten what it’s like to know Jesus and any aspect of religion. Religion is the biggest part of any person’s life because it is the building block for everything we have.
