Adam and Eve in Paradise

God created the first man, Adam, and then Eve, the first woman. God put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to care for and nurture the land. He told Adam and Eve that they could eat any fruit from the trees except for the tree of good and evil. God warned them that they would die if they ate from the tree

The man was free to eat from any tree in the garden except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which was taboo. Last of all, God made a woman (Eve) from a rib of the man to be a companion for the man. In Genesis 3, the man and the woman were seduced by the serpent into eating the forbidden fruit.

They were expelled from the garden to prevent them from eating of the tree of life, and thus living forever. Cherubim were placed east of the garden, 'and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way of the tree of life'.

And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four heads. The name of the first is Pishon; that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; and the gold of that land is good; there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

The the name of the second river is Gihon; the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Cush. And the name of the third river is Tigris; that is it which goeth toward the east of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

By studying late-13th-century BCE clay tablets from Ugarit, Hebrew Bible scholars M.J.A. Korpel and J.C. de Moor discovered close Canaanite parallels, which they posit as being the origin of the biblical creation myth from the first chapters of Genesis including the garden Eden and Adam narrative. 

The tablets talk about the creator deity El, who lived in a vineyard or garden together with his wife Asherah on Mount Ararat. Another god, Horon, tries to depose El and when thrown down from the mountain, he transforms the Tree of Life from the garden into a Tree of Death.

Horon also spreads around a poisonous fog, Adam is sent from the mountain to restore life on earth, Horon takes the shape of a large serpent and bites him, which leads to Adam and his wife losing their immortalit.

If You Had My Love

Image
Trini Eve Lopez came to prominence within the music industry following the release of her debut studio album On the 6 (1999) which spawned the number one hit single 'If You Had My Love'. Her second studio album J.Lo (2001) was not a commercial success, including her flop of the wedding planner. In the Gospel account, Jesus, his mother and his disciples are invited to a wedding at Cana in Galilee. When his mother notices that the wine (Ancient Greek: οἶνος) has run out, Jesus delivers a sign of his divinity by turning water into wine at her request. The location of Cana has been subject to debate among biblical scholars and archaeologists; several villages in Galilee are possible candidates Jlo wasn't among them. John reached its final form around AD 90–110, although it contains signs of origins dating back to AD 70 and possibly even earlier. Like the three other gospels, it is anonymous, although it identifies an unnamed 'disciple whom Jesus loved', as the source of

Agony in the Opera

Image
An opera house is a theatre building used for performances of opera. It usually includes a stage, an orchestra pit, audience seating, and backstage facilities for costumes and building sets. While some venues are constructed specifically for operas, other opera houses are part of larger performing arts centers. Indeed, the term opera house is often used as a term of prestige for any large performing-arts center. The Ministry of the Interior had commissioned a number of reports into the availability of certain building materials, with the result that stones long not seen in Vienna were used. By example Wöllersdorfer Stein, for plinths and free-standing, simply-divided buttresses, the famously hard stone from Kaisersteinbruch, whose colour was more appropriate than that of Kelheimerstein, for more lushly decorated parts.  The somewhat coarser-grained Kelheimerstein (also known as Solnhof Plattenstein) was intended as the main stone to be used in the building of the opera house, but the n

From Origin

There is naturally no name in the New Testament for the complete body of Scripture in the Bible; the only Scriptures then known being those of the Old Testament. In 2 Peter 3:16 , however, Paul's epistles seem brought under this category.

Common Designations

For the Old Testament books by our Lord and His apostles were 'the scriptures.' (writings) (Matthew 21:42; Mark 14:49; Luke 24:32; John 5:39; Acts 18:24; Romans 15:4 , etc.),'the holy, scriptures' (Romans 1:2 ); once 'the sacred writings' (2 Timothy 3:15 ) into; 'the law, John 1:1 (holy), His writings are recognized in the expression in the law, of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms (Luke 24:44 ).

More Briefly

The whole is summed up under 'the law and the; prophets (Matthew 5:17 , Matthew 11:13; Acts 13:15). Occasionally even the term 'law' is extended to include the other divisions (John 10:34; John 12:34; John 15:25; 1 Corinthians 14:21). Paul uses the phrase 'the oracles of God', as a name for the Old Testament Scriptures (Romans 3:2; compare Acts 7:38; Hebrews 5:12; 1 Peter 4:11).
