Christ’s Burial Exposed: Stone Slab Honored as the Resting Place of Jesus Christ Uncovered The tomb of Jesus Christ has been exposed by scientists for the first time in centuries. In the Old City of Jerusalem, the tomb, which is considered to be Jesus Christ’s tomb has been covered with marble layering. It is estimated that the tomb has been marble covered since 1555 A.D. or even earlier. National Geographic Society, the partner in the restoration project has Fredrik Hiebert, as the…

fault; the St. Nicolas fault which brought the Manhattan schist. There were observations of boudins of quartz, which are kinetic indicators of movement and stress on the rocks (Flores, 2016). In the Manhattan schist basaltic intrusions were also observed and contact of the intrusion zone. The pegmatites, which are igneous rocks, observed pointed to the Acadian orogeny which followed the…

Earth is composed of many different components such as minerals, and rocks. These components have several different properties and characteristics which are unique to each. In this paper, I will discuss some of the different properties, characteristics, and uses of three different factors, those being gypsum, coal, and nickel. Gypsum Gypsum is derived from the Greek word gypsos which means plaster (Gypsum Meanings, Powers, and History). Gypsum is composed of oxygen, calcium, sulfur, and water…

sandstone and shale. Then an intrusive magma that made its way through the crust, only to cool and become granite and pegmatites. This magma changed the existing rocks making schists and quartzite. After the inland sea receded erosion dominated the area eroding many layers of rock that had been deposited. A massive uplift rose these rocks to 15,000 feet. The erosion process eventually got rid of the sedimentary layers, exposing the granites and metamorphic knobs that we see today. Imagine if one…

Initially, the most striking feature of Eroded Rock, Point Lobos, a gelatin silver print by Edward Weston, is its relationship between positive and negative space. The photo’s subject is an eroded rock, whose rough, raised plateaus create a light positive space and emerge from smooth, blackened sections of the eroded rock which create the image’s negative space. These sections of eroded rock envelop the plateaus in languid serpentine lines, almost as though the plateaus are land masses cast…

All people who have ever lived, no matter they are Christian or not, will be judged to determine their eternal fates (Matthew 5:29 – 30, John 5:25 – 29, Romans 14:10 – 12, Revelation 20:11 – 15 NIV). With sins that people have committed during their whole lives, they can never live in the Kingdom of God. So…

Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” (Jn. 17:17 & 23 NIV) Two things essential for a person spiritual development are being grounded in the Scripture, as the man that built his house upon the rock (Mt. 724-25) and developing relationships in fellowship with the body of Christ (Heb. 10:25). Feminism, Womanism, and post-colonialism have a common message of inclusions. Feminists call for a bigger presence of femininity within the Church and…

Adair Park Field Trip was a really great experience where you get to see many different types of rocks and many diverse examples of minerals. This trip happened on Saturday November 1, 2014. Several geology classes went to the field trip for the expedition, with the purpose of learning the different types of each rock and its minerals and also to identify the stones from oldest to youngest. The group leaders of this trip were several professors of geology. Professor Croxen, Garrett, Dr. B, did…

Painted around the year 1470, by an Alsatian artist, this image is unlike no others. Coming from the Northern Renaissance era, the image brings together an idea that has never before been portrayed, which is that of the pre and post crucifixion Christ. The pre crucifixion Christ or also known as the Pensive Christ, seeks to depict the moments of grief, sorrow, desertion, and betray in reference to humankind, whereas the depiction of a post crucifixion Christ reflects on the idea of Christ as…

Aliens: Life in the Christian Colony to argue that the church has been called on by God to be what they call a “unique colony” within today’s world, and not a social group who makes their decision based on society’s opinions. The authors chose to use the metaphor of a colony to symbolize that although the church is part of the state its first priority is God and his will, rather than the governments. The second metaphor the authors chose to use throughout the book is that Christians are…
