Grace unto you

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ.

Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

Christian theology includes the beliefs that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, was born of a virgin named Mary, performed miracles, founded the Christian Church, died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement for sin, rose from the dead, and ascended into Heaven, from where he will return.

Commonly, Christians believe Jesus enables people to be reconciled to God. The Nicene Creed asserts that Jesus will judge the living and the dead, either before or after their bodily resurrection, an event tied to the Second Coming of Jesus in Christian eschatology. 

The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three prosopons of the Trinity. The birth of Jesus is celebrated annually, generally on 25 December, as Christmas. His crucifixion is honoured on Good Friday and his resurrection on Easter Sunday. 

The world's most widely used calendar era—in which the current year is AD 2024 (or 2024 CE)—is based on the approximate birthdate of Jesus. Since the early period of Christianity, Christians have commonly referred to Jesus as 'Jesus Christ'. 

The word Christ was a title or office ('the Christ'), not a given name. It derives from the Greek Χριστός (Christos), a translation of the Hebrew mashiakh (משיח) meaning "anointed", and is usually transliterated into English as 'messiah'. 

In biblical Judaism, sacred oil was used to anoint certain exceptionally holy people and objects as part of their religious investiture. Christians of the time designated Jesus as 'the Christ', because they believed him to be the messiah, whose arrival is prophesied in the Hebrew Bible and Old Testament.

In postbiblical usage, Christ became viewed as a name—one part of "Jesus Christ". Etymons of the term Christian (meaning a follower of Christ) have been in use since the 1st century.

Adam and Eve in Paradise

Image
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 John Eitheval – Adam and Eve Private Collection Painting Paradise  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 pa

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).
