Rediscovering Jesus In 1945, Egyptian farmers dug up a clay jar filled with ancient Coptic manuscripts. Among them was the Gospel of Thomas, a collection of Jesus' sayings, some familiar to us, some new, all with a fresh slant to their implications.

Zeus is a god of apparent paradox: sublimely regal yet ridiculously fickle, a giver of laws but a slave to his own passions, a being of incredible power who is desperate to possess that which he cannot have. As the leader of the Greek pantheon on Mount Olympus, Zeus was the god of kingship (and the associated elements of law, oaths, the state, and the protection of property) and the god of storms, controlling lightning, wind, and thunder.

Certainly, many of the ancient Greeks themselves saw the god in this light.

This was in conflict with the following of many pagan gods and the Roman Emperor at that time. This new ideology could not be tolerated. That persecution continued another 350 years until Emperor Constantine created the acceptance and adoption of Christianity into Rome’s religions. Rome protected Christianity ...

The enduring question has been: "Where did Cain get his wife?" The churches have not given an acceptable answer to this question. Their inability to answer this question creates great doubt as to the accuracy of the Bible. More and more Christians are giving up on defending the Bible.

The Roman Civilization, like the Greek, Egyptian, ...
