The Kuzari Proof - 3 Million Witnesses Can Be Wrong
The Kuzari Proof is a famous proof of the validity of Judaism
and is commonly used in outreach programs to convince estranged
Jews to return to the fold of observance. (1) It was developed
originally by the 11th century poet Yehuda Halevi as a response
to the loss of Judaism's monopoly on monotheism. It was designed
specifically to prove that the Jews had a unique theological
gift: the direct and public revelation of God to all the ...

When Rome attacked Syracuse during the Second Punic War, the
Roman commander Marcellus expected to capture the city with only
a five-day siege. However, the Romans found their land-and-sea
attack repulsed by a variety of unusual war machines.
The land forces were met by stones and other missiles hurled
from great distances. The naval attack faced catapults hurling
five-hundred-pound stones. Syracuse also ...

Last year during Christmas season I started to enter a store
that I had shopped at regularly for years. I stopped at the
store entrance because I felt that something was wrong. Then I
realized that there was no bell ringing and no Salvation Army
volunteer with his or her red kettle. I went into the store and
asked the manager if he knew why the Salvation Army volunteer
was not outside. He stated that the company had gotten
complaints from people who were unhappy that a religious
organization ...

"Apostles' Creed" Conceived by God... "I believe in God, the
Father Almighty, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, and in Jesus
Christ, His Only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy
Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,..."
The church of Jesus Christ believes, universally, that all men
are born into sin. Since the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden
of Eden, every person born since that time has inherited Adam's
sin nature. Humans are prone to sin and do evil because their
nature is askew. Humans ...

This lesson will focus on the antichrist and what he will be
doing when he is kicked out of heaven. I know many believe by
the time the antichrist comes you have taken part in the
rapture. If this is the case then you may believe there is no
need for you to study this information. This is what makes the
rapture doctrine so dangerous. Let's just suppose for a moment
you are wrong. You would be totally unprepared to deal with
tribulation and the deception that shall come upon the whole
world. We ...

We all have our varying tastes in music. This is probably why it takes a lot of patience for you to live with someone who happens to have the worst preference in sound. Over the centuries, classics were turned to blues, blues to ballads, ballads to rock and rock to hiphop. As you listen to more genres of music, the more that you will begin to appreciate how creative and inspiring it has become. Of course, we want you to enjoy your own music so we won't force you to like any genre in particular. ...

Music is a known stress reliever, but not all has the same effect. I love music, I grew up with it all my life, but like most people certain types of music just don't do it for me. For an example classical music, for some people this is very relaxing, but for me it makes my blood pressure go sky high, same for Opera. As a kid my parents listened to Country and the golden oldies, so that is the type of music I grew up with. Country, you have to watch out for because scientific studies ...

With Christmas just around the corner our thoughts turn
naturally to the birth of Jesus. Most people think of Jesus as a
teacher and a healer, and of course they would be right. The
Bible also tells us that God promised King David a son who would
reign over Israel for ever. That son was Jesus Christ.
We often forget that Jesus can claim the title "King of the
Jews". When Jesus was born, the wise men asked Herod "Where is
he that is born King of the Jews?" Nobody laughed, for the
Jewish priests ...
