Putting the gospels together, it is that Jesus carried the cross until he faltered, and Simon of Cyrene was ordered to pick up the cross and carry it further. I do not know if Jesus later resumed carrying the cross. However, I see no significant issue. Simon's role seems to be unimportant to the...

You do have choices. You can listen to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Rilley (Liam Ó Raghallaigh), Glenn Beck, Mike Huckabee, or Michelle Bachmann. Nobody accuses them of being Liberal or Left Wing. Amergin

Humans have a certain arrogance about admitting that we don't know the cause of something. It is so strong that we search and search for an answer, but if none if found, speculative imagination can consciously or subconsciously invent a god compatible with their ancestral culture. Miracle today...

Re: Sodom and Gomorrah Sodom and Gomorrah: Plate Tectonics also offers the best explanation for the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah by tectonic action and volcanism makes sense. There is a long north-south Transform Fault that parallels the Jordan River...

Exodus: Egyptian records show a pharaoh Tutmoses. He reigned 90 years followed by his son (Pepi or some say Amenhotep) who had a short reign after which Egypt was in a state of disarray, without defences. Upper Egypt was in defiant rebellion. All of this would be compatible with the loss of...

Aye, I have heard a story (maybe a legend) that Patrick (Padraig) was so successful in converting our Irish ancestors because he saw the power group. It was not simply the four kings. The power was with the Druids. Padraig compared Christianity to the Celtic Pantheon and even the Brehon Laws...
