Judas Priest

sufferings. Jesus certainly did not live a pain free life filled with nothing but joy and comfort. Nothing could be further from the truth. His humanity enables Him to relate to us in a way that angels or animals never can. “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). Jesus dealt with rejection and…

According to C.S. Lewis, when a person writes something, what they are passionate about is subconsciously written into their work. Lewis claims that when he wrote the Chronicles of Narnia series, he did not originally intend to write it about the gospel or about Jesus---he claims that the story just flowed out of him. After reading the series, one could easily come to the conclusion that Lewis must have been very passionate about the relationship between God and man. Although it was not Lewis’…

or themes, giving the entire movement an unsettling feel, almost as if there is something wrong but you don’t know exactly what it is. Bach again masterfully mirrors the Gospel account in musical form. We read in the Gospels that even the chief priests found the witnesses accounts to be slightly falsified and not uniform. And this is exactly what we get in Bach’s score, slightly the same but also very different. Bach adds the counter capstone to this theme by having the chorus, in movement…

To the Gallows: Medieval Torture and Modern Torture The most painful torture device was called the rack. A person would be stretched until their body parts became dislocated. Some people stretched the body so far that they completely separate from the main body (Pegg 11-12). Medieval and Modern torture are two things that are alike in physical and psychological ways, but they are different in the severity and the ways in which we use them. The most popular kind of torture was done by hand.…

Peter first uses the word when giving the requirements of the twelfth apostle. Along with accompanying the apostles from the time of Jesus’ baptism to His ascension, the man who was to take Judas’ place was required to have been a witness of the resurrected Christ (Acts 1:22). Peter next uses Anastasis in Acts 2:31 linking Christ’s resurrection with David’s prophecy that He would not be abandoned to Hades, nor would His flesh suffer decay…

Chapter Two FIRST CENTURY RELIGIOUS GROUPS At the time of Paul’s missionary Journeys there were a number of religious groups; perhaps as many as a dozen. Three of them are mentioned in the Bible: Pharisees, Sadducees and Zealots. THE PHARISEES The largest of these groups was the Pharisees which was organized about 140 B.C. and they taught strict adherence to the law. They were probably coming nearer to keeping the Law of Moses than any of the other groups. The Pharisees believed in a future…

Is Hip-Hop terrible nowadays or am I getting old? Time makes fools of all of us. I’m not the same stallion that I used to be. The days of me drinking until four in the morning are far behind me. I mean I can still do it but instead of a cheeseburger to recover, I need three days of rest and IV bag. Just like my drinking tolerance my music tolerance has changed. This is something that will happen to all of us. We get older and our bodies change and our music palate also changes. This leads to…

Heavy metal music is and always will be one of the most polarising and controversial music genres in the world. While it is not without controversy, many fans of metal praise it as being the greatest musical style in the world. With the legions of fans it has, it is easy to see why metal has become such a massive phenomenon. The history of metal, staying true to the themes of it, is a dark grueling path of drugs, fights, brotherhood, and death. Metal has a very rich history full of culture…

He had to be led to Damascus by the hand. God has a sense of irony that I just love. In order to open Saul’s eyes and let him see the truth he blinds him for three days. The Lord tells Ananias to “go over to Straight Street, to the house of Judas. When you get there ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul. He is praying to me right now.” In this one verse there is so much evidence of the truth of the Bible. The book of Acts was written between 60 and 64 AD by Luke so, at the time of the writing…
