So Pilate again brought Jesus before the people and showed him to them, telling them that he had found nothing wrong in him. But the Jewish rulers cried for his blood.

Beginings of Christianity In history change typically is never taken in a good way. Sometimes with change wars have started because the change or new idea denies and or doesn’t agree with the original idea.

Bible times. Then a peculiar baby was born into the world. As this baby grew older, he began preaching and healing people. This Man was known as Jesus and according to the Bible, he was also qualified to be our High Priest. The first reason is that Christ is from the line of Melchizedek who was the ultimate high priest.

Christians and the crusades. Jews and the Samaritans. Muslims and terrorists. Every religion has moments in their history in which they go against the basic teachings in their holy text. These moments in history are captured through the art forms that were popular during or after the time they were happening. For example, Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice is a play that captures these moments of hypocrisy as it concerns the Jews and the Christians. Many critics look at this play in a new…
