Noah's Ark

Noah's Ark is one of the favorite Bible stories ever told in children's Sunday school. It is also the predominant theme in many baby-oriented products that are sold on the American market. I just came across a site called WorldWideFlood which could have the most complete information about Noah's Ark. If you're interested in anything about the Ark, you should not miss WorldWideFlood.com.

釘十架過程身體變化的探討

A Physician Analyzes the Crucifixion )
從醫學的觀點來理解耶穌死亡那日所遭遇的痛苦

原作者C. Truman Davis醫師   編寫者:曾履元。

幾年以前我讀到Jim Bishop寫的〔基督死亡那日(The Day Christ Died)〕裡面關於釘十字架的那段敘述之後,開始對耶穌受難時身體方面所產生的變化發生了興趣。我猛然發覺這麼多年來竟然把釘十架僅僅當成一個事件,對那個過程中經歷的可怕情狀既沒概念、也缺少什麼特別的感覺。甚至,身為一個醫生,我從來也沒想過祂真正的死因是什麼。福音書的作者對這些都沒有清楚的交代。在他們的時代,釘十架和鞭打是很常見的事,過程人人都曉得,沒有必要詳細描述,因此聖經上只寫著:『彼拉多 … 將耶穌鞭打了,交給人釘十字架』。

雖然聖經上沒有紀錄細節,但是從生理和解剖的觀點,我們還是能夠深入看到主在受難過程中所必定經歷的事情。拿撒勒人耶穌的身體在最後幾個小時所遭遇到的怎麼樣的折磨呢?

Most people know of The Twelve Days of Christmas from the song of that name. Below is a popular tale about the

Ancient Chinese: Language of God?

Ever wrestle with questions of faith? Most people do.

Is God real? Where did men come from? What about Bible, is it true?

Where can you find such answers? One place to look is back in history. There are some intriguing explanations found in a culture that existed over one hundred years before the first word of the Bible were written down.

The Chinese language. It is the oldest , continuously written language in the world . Is it possible the people who created the ancient Chinese characters knew the answers to the questions you are now asking? Is the connection between the ancient characters and stories in the Bible a coincidence or by design?

You decide for yourself (中國古字與聖經之關係)... (Flash Presentation)
