Amos était berger et homme de la terre. Sa connaissance de la vie agricole transparaît à plusieurs reprises dans sa manière de s'exprimer.

"La prophétie d'Osée" est un livre de l'Ancien Testament. Il fut probablement achevé entre 745 et 740 av J.-C. Le thème fondamental du livre est l'amour de Dieu pour son peuple.

Il établit alors un parallèle entre sa vie privée et la relation de Dieu avec la nation d'Israël.

It begins with an overview followed by stories about Daniel and his three friends who belong to the royal family of David.

The Books of Samuel, 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel, form part of the narrative history of Israel in the Nevi'im or "prophets" section of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, called the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books (Joshua, Judges, Samuel and Kings) that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets. According to Jewish tradition, the book was written by Samuel, with additions by the prophets Gad and Nathan.

What was it that Jesus did that made some people hate him so much as to try to kill him? What was his message? Although there were those who sought to kill Jesus, he had a large following.

Kim tries to answer through his poetry. These poems will move you in ways that you have not imagined possible.

The gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles make up a two-volume work which scholars call Luke-Acts. The author is not named in either volume. According to a Church tradition, first attested by Irenaeus (c. 130 - c. 202 AD), he was the Luke named as a companion of Paul in three of the Pauline letters, but "a critical consensus emphasizes the countless contradictions between the account in Acts and the authentic Pauline letters."

Surviving This Babylon is an instruction manual for overcoming the current forms of this incessant beast that is Babylon. The formula is here, in this book, and it's clear. The axis of global governance and a universal religion of apostasy is emerging and may just be the final form of Babylon. It is threatening and dangerous but can be overcome. The lions of Babylon are fierce, but the ancient secrets revealed in Scripture will help you to roar back with a perfect boldness.

Whatever you think of them; we can learn life lessons for the 21st century. Enjoy!

"Once saved, always saved," a preacher once told me. Another preacher said "Blasphemy is the sin that can not be forgiven". What happens when a "born again" Christian commits that sin? Does that default their salvation and into the Hell fire they go? I guess where about to find out.

Contrariamente a quanto si potrebbe pensare il Diavolo non e' un'invenzione cristiana: tutte le culture più antiche infatti hanno elaborato figure antagoniste rispetto alle divinita' positive.
