It appears that the eye for an eye Law (Levitcus 24:20) is punishing,
by taking away something that we need. Whereas the Law to bless our enemy
(Matthew 5:38-5:34) is like giving something good to make them happy.
Like being kind to the ev…
John 19:14 seems to indicate that Jesus had been arrested, and brought before the priests, and then Pilate, and was then being sent for crucifixion on the day of preparation for the Passover.

Was this phrase one that Jesus coined to emphasize His authority, or did He adopt it from the rabbinical schools? Was it a common phrase by the Greek orators, or the Roman poets?

I was hesitantly baptized in the name of Jesus Christ last month. I say hesitantly because I understood the urgency, but I knew I didn’t really want to turn from my sins. Part of me was still in denial that the God of the Bible could …
24:36 “Now, concerning that day and hour, no one knows—not even the angels of heaven, and not even the Son—except the Father alone. 37 For as the days of Noah, so will be the Parousia of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the Flood, they we…
