After 500 years, Jesus' tomb was open again. '' I was amazed at what I found under the marble '

Jesus' Tomb Opened photo: nationalgeographic.com

For  the first time, researchers have found that surface, is traditionally considered to be the tomb of Jesus. Located Holy Sepulchre Church in Jerusalem tomb was covered with marble tiles in the sixteenth century at the latest.

Fredrik Hiebert, an archaeologist at the National Geographic Society, said that "the marble covering the tomb had been removed and I was amazed at the amount of materials under them. There will be long scientific survey, but in the end we will be able to discover the stone surface of which was deposited the body of Jesus. "

According to tradition, Jesus was lying on a carved stone that came from a limestone cave after being crucified by the Romans in 30 C.E. or perhaps in 33. On three days after his death, he resurrected and women who came to anoint his tomb was found empty. This stone is now attached to a structure called Edicule (from the Latin aedicule, small house), which was subsequently rebuilt between 1808 to 1810 after being destroyed by fire. 

The emergence of this tomb gives researchers a great opportunity to study what is considered to be the Christian religion, the most holy place. Analysis of the original stones that will help them discover not only the original shape of the tomb, but also as a place of worship has become since it was identified by Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine in the year 326.

Inside the tomb, the light emanating from candles and lamps make it possible to observe some details that are usually overlooked. Church of the Holy Sepulchre is in this moment, in the custody of the six Christian sects. Greek Orthodox Church, Roman Catholic and Armenian Orthodox Church have the most control over this area, and the status of certain parts of this church which are considered common places of worship for all sects, including the tomb was governed by an agreement custody rights record of all sects.

Edicule that aforementioned integrity restored in the nineteenth century was a dilemma for decades. It was affected by the earthquake in 1927, and British authorities were forced to restore it in 1947, by positioning the outer beams.

In 2015, Partiarhia Greek Orthodox in Jerusalem, with the agreement of 2 other large communities, invited members of the National Technical University of Athens to study the site, and premiered its new restoration was in March this year, which is expected to be completed in spring 2017.

How old is the Bible? We include Christianity, Judaism, Islam and other religious movements such as the Rastafari

Some of the collections of texts that make up the Bible are considered sacred by 54% of world population believe in the Abrahamic religions.

We include Christianity, Judaism, Islam and other religious movements such as the Rastafari invoice. Of course, there are notable differences between one religion and another, in many ways, but the most ancient biblical stories underlying the Abrahamic religions traditions.

These writings have influenced generations and can talk a lot about the origin and value of the biblical texts, but what scientists say about how old you are?

The most important thing to get clear is that there is one Bible. In history, there have been many versions and interpretations of the same text. The best known English version of the Bible from the time of James I of England in 1611. But the oldest Hebrew text seems to be the Bible.

With the new technology, scientists were able to read an ancient manuscript, damaged, containing the Book of Leviticus, the third book of Moses, dated as of year 300 C.E. The so-called "En-Gedi" became one of the oldest existing Bible texts. But not the oldest.

This title belongs manuscripts discovered archeological site in Israel Ketef Hinnom, called The Silver Scolls. The manuscripts contain fragments of the Hebrew Bible, dating from 700-650 BCE

The famous Dead Sea manuscripts, containing most of the books that make up the Hebrew Bible dates from 50 BC - 70 AD

Therefore, the oldest biblical text aproximatix dates back 2,700 years. Of course, we are referring here only to texts that were able to locate and date. The first biblical stories were the inserted through oral discourse and written much later by various authors. Researchers analyzing these texts were written believes that the first Genesis and the Book of Job. This would have happened somewhere around 1450-1400 years BC

Star of Bethlehem proof Jesus' divine origins ?

For centuries, researchers are wondering if the Star of Bethlehem which guided the Magi to the birthplace of Jesus was a miracle or an astronomical phenomenon common. Fierce debate has not ended even today.

The mystery of the Star of Bethlehem, between faith and science

"And if Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem, asking: Where is the king of the Jews who was born? For we have seen the Eastern His star and have come to us worship him. " Because I find in Jerusalem Magi "departed, and behold, the star that they had seen in the east went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with joy very high. And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother ... ". Matthew 2: 1.

Attempts to explain scientific phenomena were made from the early fourteenth century. Since then, a myriad of theories and hypotheses about the Star of Bethlehem and the "behavior" strange they were launched by researchers more or less credible. It said the star was a supernova, a ball lightning, even a UFO. Today, although there is an explanation that scientifically aware of the biblical account, the mystery is far from being cleared up. To discover what was the Star of Bethlehem have to slam many biblical contradictions; first, however, you have to solve another mystery, perhaps greater, which is the exact date of the birth of Jesus?

A star appears above the Holy Land and announces the birth of the Messiah. It is seen by the Magi - or sages - from the East, who are guided by it until you get to Bethlehem, where he discovers the baby Jesus. This biblical story has not lost its charm even now, more than 2,000 years after the events he narrates. For practitioners and some faithful Christians, the Star of Bethlehem story simply register miraculous deeds that occurred on the eve of Christ's birth and needs no explanation. But is it blasphemy to go further than that, that is to use scientific methods to reveal more details about Star? The answer is no.

Over time, many theologians, historians and astronomers have tried to unravel the mystery of the Star, hoping to put such information in the Gospel according to Matthew historical and scientific data. None has definitively resolved the dilemma, all lost in a complicated maze of conflicting data, errors and unverifiable predictions. However, the researchers made the shocking discovery about the historical and cultural context in which the events took place in the Holy Land at the beginning of the first millennium of the Christian era.


For instance, today, scientists agreed on the fact that if Steaua has existed and has guided the Magi, then certainly their arrival in Bethlehem has not spent one day December 25 last 2009 years. As we celebrate today, the birthday of the Savior was fixed in the year 525 AD by a Christian monk Dionysius Exiguus. Some theologians and many researchers believe that Dionysius was wrong and that Jesus would actually born in the year 5 BC Regarding December 25, it was chosen to overlap over a much older pagan holiday, dedicated to Deus Solus Invictus or Apollo-Helios.

Assuming that the date fixed by Dionysius as a convention, some researchers have argued that Star from Bethelehem was predictable astronomical phenomena, such as the conjunction of two planets. Regular movement of celestial bodies allow the calculation of such events: if you have enough information, you can predict, for example, all conjunctions that will occur in the future between Jupiter and Saturn, and in addition, you can find the exact dates on which held a such an event in the past. The conjunction of the planets proved but a red herring, because no such phenomenon did not occur in close proximity to the birth of Jesus. No other explanation of the nature of astronomical able to realize the Star of Bethlehem - like a supernova explosion - not likely. Therefore, some scientists have expanded their area of research, trying to use historical events to reveal more details about Star.

When was born, in fact, Jesus?

A hint key is the death of King Herod who, according to all the records known, occurred very shortly before the birth of Jesus, shortly after a lunar eclipse and before the feast of Passover (Hebrew Passover feast, which commemorates the Exodus Jews in Egypt). Lunar eclipse is a phenomenon predictable, so appealing to astronomy, researchers imposed as year of birth of the Saviour year 5 BC On the other hand, Passover takes place in the 15th day of Nisan (after the Hebrew calendar), which fall between March 15 and April 30. Because of congestion caused by this big celebration, Mary and Joseph found a place in town to be accommodated. They are received in exchange pastors who graze their flocks on the hills around Bethlehem's (very logic of occupation in the spring months, but highly unlikely in December).

Therefore, Star appearance as an astronomical event that has happened in year 5 BC, and Jesus would be born in the spring. Knowing all this data, Florentine artist Giotto (1267-1337) of his works featured in the Star as a comet - the most famous of all: Comet Halley (see below). But Giotto was cheated 7 years, because according to all modern calculations, Halley was shown in the year 12 BC (And therefore could not be the Star of the Magi).

It has long been believed that Star would indicate a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. But the phenomenon closest to Jesus' birth year was spent in 7 BC - Therefore too early. However, recent research conducted by Mark Kidger from the Institute of Astrophysics in Tenerife, shows that event conjunction yet may be important in solving the mystery. After 2,000 years, these phenomena were considered extremely important in astrological terms. The conjunction of the year 7 BC showed the planet "royal" Jupiter in the constellation Pisces, which astrologically is related to Hebrew. For any ancient initiated - as were the Magi - this conjunction was clearly a signal. "The conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in 7 BC since played an important role in warning of the Magi, even if she was not the Star of Bethlehem," said Professor Kidger.

Cosmic possibilities

JUPITER
Astronomer Michael Molnar thinks Star of Bethlehem were actually Jupiter, the planet partially hidden by the Moon in the year 6 BC Detailed calculations of this cosmic event shows however that the occultation of Jupiter (which took place from 17 April 6th century BC) could not be visible from Earth.

METEORITE
Sir Patrick Moore, British astronomer most important of all time, suggested the idea that a particularly bright meteor could offer absolution dilemma. However, the Gospel of Matthew clearly deduce that the star was a celestial body that shone every night for a very long time.

MIRA
In 2002, Costantino Sigismondi, of the University of Rome, proposed as an explanation flickering variable star called Mira. Although the hypothesis has provoked much debate awhile, it was concluded that that star shine so vague that it could not attract the attention of the Magi.

Ball lightning
Michael Kamieńsk of the University of Krakow, suggest that Steaua would have been ball lightning, a phenomenon that occurs only rarely during a storm. Beyond that a ball lightning would not have guided the Magi from Persia in Judea, it is very difficult and confused with a star.

VENUS

In some years, on Christmas Eve, the planet shines particularly intense, leaving the impression that triples its size. However, Venus does not move far like a star faring, and how were the Magi experienced some astronomers had recognized planet once.

In the entire Bible, the only text that appears in the story of the Magi and the Star is the Gospel of Matthew. But Matthew does not say anywhere that the wise men were three - was reached this popular belief long after the writing of the New Testament - and did not give us their names. He says only that they were "Magi from the East." From this information we deduce that the Sages were Persian origin, coming from an ancient Zoroastrian caste of priests, astrologers and prophets.

Wise Men. Who are the three mysterious initiates who come to worship Jesus?


Herodotus, who lived about 500 years before Christ and was chronicler of wars Greco-Persian, reveal that the Magi (Maguire in Persian) were originally from the Medes (today Medina, a city-symbol of Islam, located in Saudi Arabia) and formed an elite class of the Persian Empire. After several unsuccessful attempts to gain control of political power in the empire, the caste of the Magi experienced a total transformation process: a "given" policy piety, among them spring out of the most respected teachers and enlightened ancient Persia. In addition, the Magi were considered specialists in the interpretation of dreams and guessing stars. There are reasons for that, with time, their caste seized all positions religious empire, becoming priests sages officials Zoroastrianism, the ancient Persian religion. A prophecy of his Zarathushtra, the legendary founder of Zoroastrianism, says a virgin will give birth to a Saoshyant (Savior) which will purify the universe and bring paradise. More than 2,000 years after it was filed prophecy, three wise men, Balthasar, Melchior, and Gaspar (as they were called in apocryphal texts), had a common view of Esfahan, identifying him Savior announced Zarathushtra with baby Jesus. Moreover, between the Persian prophet who lived in the second millennium BC and Jesus Christ are very many similarities, various historians of religions claiming that the authors of biblical texts were strongly influenced by Zoroastrianism.

Biblical Contradictions. How much confidence can we have, from historically, in the Biblical story of the Star of Bethlehem?


New Testament aim is to narrate like a history book, the events that occurred in the first 100 years of Christianity. Therefore, anyone who tries to solve the mystery of Star will face a lot of gaps and contradictions, if the Gospels look like some historical chronicles. Episode birth of Jesus is mentioned in only two gospels - the Luke and the Matthew; of the four evangelists, Matthew speaks only star and the Magi. For major historical works from the early first millennium, both Matthew and Luke are regarded as some chroniclers reasonable. 

The trouble starts with details of Holy Birth - details which, unfortunately, are crucial to any theory related to the Star of Bethlehem. For example, Matthew says that Jesus was born "in the days of Herod the king," which chronicles all the weather records that died in 4 BC According to Luke, however, Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Galilee while Joseph and his fiancee, Maria, went to register with the census ordered by Augustus. 

"This registration was made when Quirinius was governor of Syria on the first," says Luke (Luke 2: 2), ie 10 years later compared to the time given by Matthew. Atari still discrepancies should not surprise us, considering the fact that both gospels were written about 70 years after the events they describe.

To reach Messiah, magi had traveled a significant distance for those times: 1,500 km, they have traveled in a few weeks. From the biblical story, especially in imaging and folklore which were born around it, we deduce that Star shone throughout the whole journey; more than that, it was moved, guiding and the prophets. Judging from these assumptions, The star could have a ball lightning or a meteorite. However, such astronomical phenomena takes too little. Only two candidates remain "function" Star.

Novel theory

400 years ago, German astronomer Johannes Kepler suggested that the Star of Bethlehem was a supernova. At the time, Kepler did not have enough information to prove their hypothesis. But today we know that the death of a giant star in a natural thermonuclear explosion is a phenomenon very bright, which leaves traces in the universe. One could justify such "guidance" Magi. But nowhere in the world, even the ancient Chinese astronomers , have not found any records regarding the supernova (appearance which, if it occurred, would have been visible from across the globe).

The fact that neither King Herod nor the other people of Jerusalem did not know the existence of the Star before the arrival of the Magi suggest that its presence was not an untrained eye out - contrary to popular belief that Star would have been a very shiny object. Starting from this trade, in 1999, Professor Mark Kidger formula for the first assumption that Star of Bethlehem was the effect of another type of stellar explosion, less spectacular, known as a nova. A nova could shine like a star and, in addition, it may give the feeling that moves like a meteor, corresponding information provided by the story. 

Moreover, Korean and Chinese astronomers recorded the existence of a nove even 5th year in BC (Which would actually be born Christ). Solve the mystery of Star Kidger's hypothesis? From a scientific standpoint, this is the most plausible explanation we have.

Erupts as a nova?

In the universe, most known stars belong to binary systems consisting of pairs of stars orbiting around each other. In some cases, a red giant star called it locks into an orbit very close to a celestial body smaller (about the size of Earth) called white dwarf. Red giant is actually a star that stage of life environments in which it has consumed a large portion of the hydrogen and the approaching end of life. It is red because it has a low temperature. White dwarf represents the core of the former red giant and is in the form of a compact stars formed from what remains after a star has traveled medium red giant stage.


When red giant locks on a close orbit of the white dwarf, the latter enhanced gravity draws material from the larger star. Stolen material (composed mainly of hydrogen) is wrapped around a disc also dwarf. After thousands of years, spiral shell of hydrogen becomes so hot and dense that produces a devastating natural thermonuclear explosion. The result is the transformation of dwarves and giants in one cosmic body, a nova, which shines approximately 100,000 times stronger than the two former stars who have given birth.

Instant nuclear fusion could be an answer to the mystery nove genesis of the Eastern Star?

It has long been believed that Star of Bethlehem would have been a supernova. Call supernova explosion at the end of a star's life during which much of the material the star is scattered in space. Following the phenomenon remains a neutron star or a black hole. Supernova is the most glamorous event in the universe. The fact that no one on Earth has not recorded any occurrence of supernova in proximity birth of the Savior laid but researchers think.

In 1999, British astronomer Mark Kidger, of the Institute of Astrophysics in Tenerife, formulated a hypothesis which, in scientific terms, it seems best to solve the mystery and more Star of Bethlehem. According to Kidger, Steaua would have been a so-called nova. Less visually spectacular than supernova, nova is a phenomenon that occurs when hydrogen is a star "stolen" from another star (see box below).


In his Star of Bethlehem from the perspective of an astronomer, published in 1999, Kidger demonstrate that a nova corresponds to the key elements of the biblical story - from its looks simple star, to the ability to guide the wise men from the East (which they had outstanding knowledge - including our time - astronomy) on their long journey from Persia in Judea. Moreover, ancient Chinese astronomers recorded and Korea in mid-March of the year 5 BC, the emergence of a bright celestial object in the constellation Hawk - date confirms the results of research into year and month of birth of Christ . Kidger indicated and binary system that spawned the Star of Bethlehem: this is called DO Aquilae and is today in a phase of "hibernation".

The Divine Power That Is in the Believer

In Matthew 13:11, Jesus told the disciples, "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to [the crowd] it has not been granted." As followers of Christ, we, too, have the privilege to know all of the truths God has chosen to reveal in Scripture.

But do you ever feel as if other believers are somehow in on a secret that you don't know? Do you ever have the sense that they have managed to solve the mystery of how to rejoice in suffering, conquer sin, forgive the unforgivable, or live a life of love in ways you haven't yet discovered?

If that's your situation, then I have good news for you. So draw near to hear, and open your eyes to see the truth: The secret to living the Christian life is to become best friends with the Holy Spirit. He has all the right qualities for that role and will not disappoint you-the Bible teaches us that the Spirit of God is someone we can lean on, who helps us make the right decisions, and with whom we can share our deepest feelings (John 14:17; 16:13; 2 Cor. 13:14).

And the Holy Spirit offers believers much more. He loves us, protects us, and assists when we pray. He also works in and through us with divine power, and helps us to become like Jesus.

God's Spirit is a person with whom we can have a close personal relationship-and He has our best interest at heart. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you through the Scriptures, and then be prepared to have a friend unlike any earthly companion-one who is with you constantly, whispering of your heavenly Father's mercy and your Savior's love.

5 Myths About Christianity and Modern Life

Christianity is the world's largest religion by a landslide. At over 2 billion adherents there is no religion or belief system even close. But the big guy is always an easy target. Write a book calling Jesus a zealot, point out an example of hypocrisy or just declare some biblical value as narrow-minded and you will have loads of mostly unchallenged media attention.

The half-truths, lies and myths about Christianity seem to increase at the rate of social media growth. There are falsehoods about science and Christianity, the divinity of Christ and the veracity of the Bible. There are so many half-truths it would take volumes to dispel them. And there are the myths. These are five that warrant examination.

Jesus Was Only A Teacher & Zealot

Jesus claimed to be God. He claimed to forgive people's sins, humanity would be accountable to him and he was the way, truth and life. He was much more than just a teacher. He was certainly not a revolutionary, in fact, large numbers of people stopped following him when he did not preach an overthrow of the Roman occupation.

All in One: the Gentle and Fierce Nature of God and Jesus - Bible

Jesus has never been accused of being a liar nor did his followers lie about him since the gospels were not written in a mythic style. He did not have a messiah complex, which involves incredible egotism, inability to love and no compassion for others, none of which remotely resembles Jesus.

Maybe what really bothers some is Jesus' claim as the only way to God. The religion of secular culture is "equality" and Jesus message sounds scandalous. He preached equality amongst people but for himself he made it clear he was the savior of the world.

People Become Christians Through Social Conditioning

Myths can mix a little truth with a lot of error. It is true that many people become Christ followers when they are young influenced by their family and upbringing. But the greatest social conditioning of any person happens when they attend a college or university. No one can honestly deny the significant changes that take place while a person is in the college environment. 

This social conditioning can change a person's morality, politics and faith. Lenin said, "Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted." Far from Christianity conditioning people to faith, the academy does everything it can to condition them away from faith.


Christianity Is A Crutch For The Weak

A crutch presupposes a need and some type of aid. Those who dismiss Christianity as a crutch are denying their own weaknesses. What mentally healthy person says they have no needs? It is emotionally weak to deny your innate neediness. What relationship has any hope of longevity when one person denies they have needs? A person who has fears of vulnerability or dependency might not acknowledge her needs. Someone who has pride and wants to be self-sufficient (as if anyone really can be) might not state his needs. But healthy people know they have needs and Christ meets those needs. Jesus is not a crutch he is a cure for the sin disease that plagues every one of us.

Christianity Stifles Personal Freedom

Researchers at Harvard, Duke and other universities have found that Christian faith and church attendance are associated with less social isolation, lower risk of substance abuse, lower rates of suicide, greater happiness and life satisfaction. 

Redhawk500's Blog

This does not sound like people who are not free. Jesus' truth sets us free from self-deception. False freedom can actually lead a person into behaviors that result in life controlling issues.

Those who say their freedom is stifled really mean they don't want standards that place absolute claim on them. They want freedom to do whatever they want without being accountable to God. Jesus gives us freedom not to do whatever we want but to become all we were meant to be.

Christianity Is Irrelevant to Modern Life

Christianity speaks to real life – work, finances, relationships, health, success, sex and more. The
Bible provides principles which help with life issues any person may face. Beyond church services the ways to access this information is more abundant than ever including podcasts, blogs, videos, apps and more.

No group, institution or government does more for the social needs of people than the Church. Poverty alleviation, educating children, disaster relief are all being addressed by Christ followers in a stunning number of ways.

Of course universal spiritual issues like the meaning of life, what happens when we die and purpose for living are all questions for which Christianity uniquely provides answers. Millions of transformed lives prove all these myths to be untrue.

Three false myths about antiquity. What is the truth behind the Greek democracy and Roman orgies

Whether we are talking about Christianity, ancient Rome or Greece about each emerged myths that we know today.

1.The Romans were doing crazy orgies

Most people associate the Romans orgies, but in reality he was just about rumors. In fact, the Romans did not speak very often about this, couples having sex only at night in complete darkness, mostly clothed. Of course, wealthy Romans were having sex in front of the servants, but then servants were considered furniture who only had to bring needed. As noted, the Romans encountered problems and when trying to plan an orgy One of the most powerful myths of Hercules is where the 50 girls deflowered of Greek king in one night. The early Christians invented blowout to promote their new faith

Édouard Henri Avril Roman Orgies source wikipedia

Thus, anyone who had love affairs in positions other than those which were considered normal for that time, the practice blowout. Of course, they stated that such practices were taking place in the homes of the rich. To implement stronger than Christianity, practices were blamed because then no longer be practiced.

2. Christians were martyred in the Colosseum, eaten by lions

The myth that the Romans threw Christians to the lions just for fun is false. Since there is no evidence showing that practitioners of Christianity have been martyred in the Colosseum. During the Emperor Nero was thought that persecuting Christians in the Colosseum, the building had not been build. But there are countless stories of martyrs, saints, apostles who died eaten by lions killed or burned at the stake. The truth is that all the stories come from the writings of Christians.

Acts of martyrs' stories were about the beginnings of Christianity, when women and men have preached the word of God, enduring torture and suffering. The writings of the martyrs,, acts '' can be compared to Harry Potter stories today, they satisfy the desire of citizens of fiction. In the eighteenth century, the book has been used by many popes to declare Colossseum a stained blood of martyrs, which should not be destroyed.

3. Ancient Greece was a place of freedom

Before the Roman Empire to conquer the world, logic and civilization in ancient Greece it was always present, the country was the cradle of humanity. But the reality is that the area was one during the war. The ancient Greeks put the best minds of the era, like Socrates. Hellenic peninsula in that period there were more than 1,000 cities, each band,, ''

Each band had armed its own government and religion. During that practiced slavery. Greece had the largest number of slaves and democracy lasted only two centuries, The asemnea nor Plato, Socrates and Aristotle were not excited about this form of government. Works intellectuals came very difficult period in other countries, primarily because of rivalries between towns, people were generally enlightened farmers and ordinary people who have left their native village.
