Why did Jesus Christ abolish Shabbat?
Jesus Christ DID NOT abolish Shabbat! He said..."I came to fulfill the Law".
According to Wikipedia, Yeshua was a common alternative form of the name Joshua in later books of the Hebrew Bible and among Jews of the Second Temple period.
This name corresponds to the Greek spelling Iesous, from which comes the English spelling Jesus.
Yehoshua (Joshua in English) in the Hebrew means "Yahweh is salvation", which is an appropriate name for Jesus the Son of God who, according to the Jesus as recorded in the Gospels, came to seek and save that which was lost.

How can i start a christian singing career at a young age?
Be smart have a good voice and don't be shy!
First off, stop looking for fame. Being a gospel singer isn't about reaching fame. Secondly, be honest about your intentions. Thirdly, get some sort of training in the feild of traditional gospel singing (if that's where you are wanting to head). Forth, sing with your heart and soul, its there that the gospel lives within. Fifth, write good songs! Sixth, WORK HARD!!!! Sing where ever you can even if its on the streets. Get your talent noticed! Work as hard as you can to get noticed as a gospel singer. Work backgroud if you have to to get somewhere first. Never give up on your singing! If someone tells you that you can't sing, work ever harder! You have to be your biggest fan to start with. If your not your biggest fan, you can't expect anyone else to be!
Surround yourself with Friends that love you and are honest with you. Because these are your biggest critics.
One of the biggest things that we as gospel singers need to remember is to have Integrity. If you don't know what this is, research it.
And always always remember to trust in God!
Good luck.
How are Jesus and Jonah alike?
They were both Jewish men. Jonah, when he was swallowed by the fish was running from God. He was disobedient to God's orders. Jesus was just the opposite.
Matthew 21:12, "And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money chargers, and the seats of them that sold doves,"
Jesus was angry because the money collectors were cheating the public of money they couldn't afford. The collectors said they needed for the sacrificial animals and Jesus wanted to teach them that he was the ultimate sacrifice and there was no need to sacrifice anything else.
What happened at the last supper of jesus?
There are quite a number of subjects discussed in the various records passed down to us in the Gospels about the last supper. The Gospel of John, for example, devotes all of chapters 13 through 17 to it.
Broadly speaking, there are a number of different things discussed.
1. The supper itself and its meaning.
2. Who was going to betray Jesus.
3. Jesus teaching about humility.
4. Jesus explanation to the disciples of the necessity of His impending death, and their various reactions to this.
5. Jesus brief interchange with Judas Iscariot as Judas was about to go out to betray Him.
6. Various teachings such as about the coming of the Holy Spirit, the importance of abiding in Christ (John 15) , coming persecution etc.
What wood was used to make Jesus cross?
No one knows, as it is not mentioned in the Bible. However, the Cedar of Lebanon grows prolifically in those areas. As the crosses used for execution were used over and over again for criminals, they had to be very durable and strong. This strain of Cedar wood matches those qualities, so it could well be the material from which the cross was made... but this is pure speculation and has no basis in scripture.
The race is not given to the swift nor to the strong but to the one that endureth to the end?
This statement was given to show that God does not favor those who look or seem physically fit. Instead, He favors those who have faith in Him.
Are you living in the last days?
Revelation ch 22 v 7 - "Behold i am coming soon! Blessed is he that keeps the words of the prophecy in this book."
2 Peter ch 3 v1,18
Answer:
With God, one day is "... as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day..."
In this regard... from the time Jesus walked the earth in the flesh until now... only about "three or so days" have elapsed.
I say this, because even the inspired writers of what we call the New Testament referred to their generation as living in the last days.
"Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time." (I John 2:18)
"...God... hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son..." (Heb.1:1-2).
Every day since Christ have been the "last days." And with each passing 24-hour day... the world draws closer to the conclusion of the "last days" and the conclusion of God's 6000 year ['6-day'work-week] plan. The days of man's allotted "six-thousand year work week" of rule on earth are numbered... and the "Lord's Day" [His thousand year, Sabbath Day, rule on earth] will complete the 7000 year [7-day week] of His plan.
So, yes -- we are all living in the last days. Man's works on the earth are almost done. His works shall cause all life to cease, unless the Lord returns to stop it [Matt.24:22].
Judging by the direction present global events are taking the world... there can't be too many more days left. Twenty-four hour ones, that is.
I am guessing that you are really asking, are we living in the end times?
I will let you be the judge. The Bible at 1 Timothy 3:1-4 spoke of the "last days" as being "critical times ard to deal with." Those verses went on to point out that in the last days, people would be unthankful, disloyal, puffed up with pride, lovers of themselves, lovers of money, disobedient to parents, haughty, fierce, and many other things. The question is, do you see this today?
Jesus, at Matthew chapter 24 and Luke chapter 21, when asked about what would be the sign of the "end of the world." answered that there would be wars on a worldwide scale, disease, crime, earthquakes, food shortages, a lack of love among people, that people would be fearful of what is coming apon the earth, and many other hings. Again, have you seen this in your lifetime?
The answer to these two questions I have just posed, is the answer to the original question you just asked.
Here is a web address to an online article that gives further information: Are We Living in the Last Days? http://watchtower.org/e/20060915/article_01.htm
This brings forth another question: what do we do about it? Jesus said at John 17:3, "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of YOU, the only true God, ad the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ." So we must learn about God and his son Jesus, so that we can know what to do to survibe the end, and get everlasting life. That same article has an addition link at the bottom of the page that will give information from the Bible about that.
AnswerThere are many predictions about the end of time and all of them failed.The Bible predicted that the end will come within the lifetime of Jesus' listener. See Matthew 16:28, Luke 9:27, Mark 9:11.
for other failed predictions see link "63 failed & 1 ambiguous end-of-the-world predictions between 30 CE and 1990 CE"
The world has been in existence for 4+ billion years and will continue to exist for billions more of years. The probability of the world ending within your lifetime is very, very, very remote. Sleep well tonight..,
Answer:Personally, I believe we are closing in on the End of Time as we know it. The most obvious sign is the Biblical prophesy that says the generation that sees Israel become a nation again, will also see the end of time. If you are not a Christian, that would have little importance, but if you think about it, the world is ending for somebody at this very second, and it will end for us all one day.Why do some people not believe in the resurrection of Jesus?
In the earliest manuscripts of Mark's Gospel, there was no mention of any appearances of the resurrected Jesus. The Gospel finished at verse 16:8, with the women fleeing in fear and telling no one that the tomb was empty. What is called the "Long Ending" (there was also a "Short Ending") was added much later by an interpolator.
Scholars now know that the authors of the other New Testament gospels relied on Mark's Gospel for everything they knew about the life and mission of Jesus. Yet each one described the risen Jesus as meeting the disciples at different times and places, with remarkably little consistency. It strains belief that evangelists knew nothing about the life of Jesus before his resurrection, copying what the knew from Mark, yet could tell us in detail about the resurrected Jesus. And it strains belief even more, that each account differs fundamentally from the others, yet all are true.
People who do not believe in the resurrection of Jesus do so because there is no credible evidence that it really happened.
How did Luke know about Jesus?
In the prologue to the Gospel of Luke, the author (Luke) indicates that he got the information from those who were themselves eyewitnesses. So, for example, he probably would have gotten the additional details, which other Gospels do not record. about Jesus' infancy from Mary.
Luke also refers to the fact that he is intending to write more of a chronological account, and also to build on the work of others. This probably explains why he includes a significant amount of material, including several songs which are not recorded elsewhere, and also parables like the Prodigal son. This material would have been collected by anybody, either the disciples themselves, or any other followers listening to Jesus' teachings as a Rabbi or observing his work. Many people at this time had 'scribal skills' and so had the ability to take notes as they listened to the various religious teachers of the day. Luke then drew on this material, probably cross-checking with others as to its details and validity.
This refers of course to the human process, while many also believe in divine inspiration. This does not exclude the human process of data collection, nor does such a process impinge in any way upon divine inspiration. Since the data sources were readily available there was no immediate need for 'direct revelation' although this can never be excluded.
Luke 1:1-4 (King James Version)1Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,2Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
3It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
4That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
What is the collective name given to the 12 people that followed Jesus?
They are usually called the Apostles, but they are also referred to as the 12 Disciples. It's better to always include the 12 (with both Apostles and Disciples), both for clarity and also because Christ had many, many disciples.
Does the Bible say that Jesus did eat meat?
yes it does. but he was wrong as God forbids the eating of pork and no man is above him...
whoever said that the new testament says that you can eat pork can you please tell me in what book/chapter/verse you found this on.
Another Answer:
The New Testament doesn't contain the statement, "You can eat pork." However, it does teach that all distinctions between "clean" and "unclean" foods were done away with. Some pertinent references:
Mark 7:18, 19 - So He [Jesus] said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?"
Also see the account of Peter's vision in Acts 10:9-16, noting what he was told in verse 15: "What God has cleansed you must not call common."
And in 1 Timothy 4:1-3, Paul refers to the requirement to "abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth" as a "doctrine of demons," then writes in verse 4 and 5: For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
Another View:
In Acts 10 (the most common scripture used as an excuse to eat pork) Peter travels to meet Cornelius. On his way he stops on a housetop to pray. He became very hungry and would have eaten but fell into a trance. He sees a vision of all sorts of animals and wild beasts creepy crawlies, etc. God tells him "Rise, Peter, kill, and eat" Peter says he has never eaten anything common or unclean. God basically gives permission to eat food of the gentiles "common". (What God has cleansed, that call not thou common) God never made reference in this passage to Peter's statement of unclean (which would be pigs and other animals with split hooves)... He never said He blessed unclean. He blessed common. Also, it goes on around verse 28 to say that it was unlawful for a Jew to keep company or come unto one of another nation and the vision was God's way of showing Peter that he should not call any man common or unclean. It was in reference to Peter being a Jew and his travels and company in the land of the gentiles. The vision had absolutely nothing to do with pork. Sorry to disappoint.
What kind of entertainment did Jesus have?
This question is yet to be answered but we know that he was a fan of parties and a point to prove this is shown in the wedding at cana miracle. To improve on this response to the previously posed query the answer is 'worship'. In Jesus's day worship was like going to the movies, talking on the phone with your best friend, going hiking (as he and his sometimes did). Then there was the whole dress rehearsal of all his sermons he'd do over at Mary and Martha's place. He was always running by his edicts with one of those two on the Sabbath day, and the disciples were jealous to beat all, but it was really what he needed, a place where he could refine his words and practice without the pressure of the crowd, someone to please and put a beautiful smile on their face, this is worship, this is entertainment. By the standards of today entertainment is often simply a place to relax and enjoy. But if outside the temple walls was also worship "highly entertaining". The type of entertainment we do for God and God alone, the only who even has the potential to see all you do and appreciate the subtleties of every thought. So in some ways, Jesus lives his life trying to entertain God. He was always trying to please his father, I don't think anyone who has ever lived would could debate this, I mean the guy was always talking about him. "My father" this..... do this for my father. The father... the father... the father... You see after all these days, there came the miracles and opening the ears of the deaf and the eyes of the blind, now this is what I call "Entertainment", the most relaxing and satisfying thing a man can ever do is perform a supernatural miracle of healing. One of these done authentically, in this day and age, and the audience would be astounding. Keeping in mind his motto, because he says informally the words, "Everything you do, do it in worship of the Lord," he says it in spirit by the way he lives, and so "worship" equivocates entertainment. "Worship", the word sounds like a navy boat, but seriously, now in these times, the only thing all the people have in common before we had cell phones and computer networks and offices with a lot of people scattered across the globe, was the temple service and the Sabbath. One out of seven is pretty okay. So in summary, and just let me close here, my thesis statement is he worships the service as the main event. Of course these technologies are great (sorry to digress), but I am simply making the point, the temple (the "church", his bride) or whatever you refer to it as, was is and forever shall be the source of all his entertainment. Trust me, endless conversations, joking around, besides all the seriousness took place--he was still a young man. On and on again this guy, beautiful women with good hearts and keen minds would eagerly wait to hear him musing, and blowing their minds, with his brilliant kindness. What could be more entertaining for a man in his age, for a man his age in any age, actually? "Worship" is where the meat parts from the potatoes and all the action takes place, the forming and maintaining of relationships, all your friends, family, talked, thought out loud, laughed and ate. It was the kind of place stories were told, like this one. Of course there were debates, there always have been and always will be held here it is part of the joy of life a gift as it were (held), and this you have to believe because it's true, even the occasional brawl took place! I say this to illustrate the authenticity of the time and date: people slept at inns, they worked in their shops with one or two others most the time, it was always the women worked at home or did the same as the men and I say this with selective meaning. I mean here we are out in the fields with our flocks, retrieving lost sheep, going fishing for food, planting wheat and corn for harvest, before the time of worship too busy to engage, so the worship is the source of entertainment. But after the Sabbath, after, when the Lord's blessing had been given to the people and they enjoyed his "something sacred", a river she's rising, a rose by any other name, I'm telling you it's all in the heart of the night, a blessing bestowed, what have you. It's all the same! Entertainmentendures. Hate, science, race, politics, violence, this things are a blip on a bad radar screen like a little tiny gnat sitting on the glass and wham! Crushed by another bug! A Jerusalem cricket. You ever see one of these? You'd be amazed the kind of things you could take in out and about on the Sabbath, the sights the sounds, the sunrises the sunsets, it was the exhausting long and relaxing day of every week; some days, of course there were weddings, and lovely engagements, beautiful brides, handsome bridegrooms, but catch the sun and have a little fun, a little too much new wine in their face, and suddenly you got a few Zealots, some Pharisees, a Sadducee, and a Samaritan all under one stall talking about politics and the son of man, tinder box! Someone says something about the High Priest under his breast and forget it, the time for peace was past and armies of heaven were throwing down warrior Gentiles and Jews are suddenly assembling alongside the Roman armies. Just say the word "Cesar, you should see the look--Saturday afternoon at the temple, the things you would see... the most entertainment. To speak the Latin term I just learned "hona notia", it is what you get when you leave this place. God bless.
What did Jesus eat at the last supper?
This is actually a fascinating question.
It's hard to say exactly what Jesus may have eaten, but if you look at the typical diet in the 1st century, you can get a pretty good idea.
Breakfast would have been a light meal perhaps of bread and cheese.
Andrew in the bible, comes in the new testament, he was the brother of Peter and like Peter was a disciple of Jesus Christ. It was Andrew who found a boy with 5 barley loaves and two fishes, in the feeding of the 5,000.

i DONT REALLY KNOW BUT I THINK IT DEPENDS ON WHAT RELIGION YOU ARE IN.... BUT I THINK THAT MABEY HE WOULD HAVE A BIGGER IMPACT....

Who was the emperor during Jesus Christ death?
Even though Pilate judged Jesus, C easer Augustus was the ruler. The people shouted If you let him go then you are not Caesar friend. But remember, Caesar, at the time of Jesus' death was the title of the Roman emperor. The ancients never used the word emperor. they called him "Caesar". The "Caesar" who was the emperor at the time of Jesus' death was Tiberius.
I think that you mean When will Christ return again?
The thousand-year period of peace that will begin when Christ returns to reign personally on the earth. At the beginning of the Millennial Era, Christ will return to the earth. This event will mark the end of the mortal probation of this earth. The wicked will be removed from the earth and the righteous will be caught up in a cloud while the earth is cleansed. While no man knows exactly when Christ will come for the second time, he has given us signs to watch for that indicate the time is drawing near.
Perhaps these will help you:-
The mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, Isa. 2: 2-3. The Lord shall lift an ensign and gather Israel, Isa. 5: 26 . The sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not cause her light to shine, Isa. 13: 10 (Joel 3: 15; . Men shall transgress the law and break the everlasting covenant, Isa. 24: 5.
Great calamities shall precede the Second Coming, Matt. 24 .Two prophets will be slain and resurrected in Jerusalem, Rev. 11 . The gospel shall be restored in the last days by angelic ministry, Rev. 14: 6-7 .
At the beginning of the Millennial Era, Christ will return to the earth. This event will mark the end of the mortal probation of this earth.

Why did the calendar start with the birth of Jesus Christ?
The Roman abbot Dionysus Exiguus devised the new Christian calendar in 533, but he never intended it to start on the birth of Jesus. He knew that it was impossible to say when Jesus was born, but he knew, or thought he knew, when Herod died. So, he chose to begin his Christian calendar on the year of Herod's death, and he based this on the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus. Unaware that Augustus only adopted that name four years after his reign began, going by his birth name of Octavius until then, Exiguus commenced his calendar just 4 years too late.
