What is heaven like after death?
The most reliable source for information about heaven is the bible. It is described as having streets of gold, walls embedded with precious stones of all kinds, mansions for the saints to live in and there is no night and no sun. The presence of God lights the entire place.
Who is the first woman disciple of Jesus?
Mary, his mother. But this depends upon how you mean "follower". Despite inferences to the contrary in the New testament (e.g. Mk 3:21), it is clear that Mary loved and followed her son. Jesus' sister (Salome; Mk 6:3; 15:40; 16:1) is the other most likely first female follower. Another possible answer is Mary "Magdalene". Aside from the supposition that Mary may have even been Jesus' wife, the written record would demonstrate that she was "first" among Jesus' followers (Esp. the Gospel of Philip), male or female. Even in the New testament where she is intentionally diminished in importance, she appears more often with Jesus than any other woman and is the first to see him after resurrection (Jn 20:11-18).
What did the Romans do to Jesus?
They crucified him. They were told (by the Jews) that he was a leader of an anti-Roman rebellion.
He was called "The King of Jews" - and in the Roman empire, kings were not allowed.
When Jesus returns to earth for judgment day will the rapture occur?
Depends on your religous beleive with me being agnostic i think it wont it depends on your religion.
Why did most Jews not work on the Sabbath in the time of Jesus?
In the Time of Jesus, ALL Jews did not work on the Sabbath because it was (and still is) the Jewish day of rest. Today ALL Orthodox and many non-Orthodox Jews will not work on the Sabbath. The Fourth Commandment is to keep the Sabbath Holy by not performing labors.
What were the dangers that faced those that preached the word of Jesus?
None really, unless you look at it from a human point of view, and then the biggest risk was martyrdom. But martyrdom to a Christian is a shortcut to the ultimate and only goal - heaven and existence for eternity with God.
Jesus is estimated to have been born a few years before AD1, which would make him over 2017 years old.
Why Jesus telling us to keep his commandments and remain in his love?
That they will have eternal life in him and rewards in Heaven.
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life." - John 6:47
"And this is the promise that He has promised us - eternal life." - 1 John 2:25
Jesus received a fulness of the glory of the Father, and he received all power,
Why was Jesus a threat to the Roman Empire since they had killed him?
Historians tell us that the Roman emperors preferred to ignore the Christians and had no interest in Jesus. It was only when the Christians began to appear disloyal to the empire that widespread official persecutions began. Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) says that Christian traditions about centuries of pagan persecution arose in the fourth and fifth centuries, when the Christian Church sought to justify its own persecution of the pagan temples.
What are special skills talents or personality traits necessary for cosmetology?
The aptitudes and abilities that are need to be a cosmetologist are you are gonna need to be able to understand what your client may need and you'll need to have flexible work hours (depending upon if you own the salon or if you just work in it!)
Why Jesus was trialed for treason against the Romans?
Jesus was tried on trumped charges of treason because the ruling sect of the Jews wanted him dead, as they perceived him as a threat to their beliefs. This was their charge of blasphemy, but it was not a capital offense under Roman law. Therefore they had to convince the Romans that Jesus was going to set himself up as a king. Pilate saw through this rouse, but his hands were tied due to the political situation. He tried to get Jesus off, but failed. The sign that Pilate ordered put up on Jesus' cross, INRI, (Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews) was not an explanation of the charges, but of a way of Pilate getting revenge on the Jewish leaders who forced his hand.
Why did Jesus concern roman and Jewish leader?
For the same reason that he troubles us - to lead us to repentance and faith in his blood.
He troubled the Jews because they had rejected him as the headstone of the heavenly temple, (Psalm 118.22).
He troubled the Romans because they were the same as us - sinners needing a Saviour.
Archaeological evidence is not just a stele, piece of pottery or foundation of an ancient building. It is also provenance, context and analysis.
Provenance includes evidence of the exact location where a find was made, with its removal preferably witnessed by reliable persons. This is particularly important for Near Eastern finds, because of the potential monetary value and the opportunity for religiously inspired misrepresentation. Knowing the exact location of the find enables archaeologists to place it in context with other finds in terms of age and influence. Much more can be ascertained by looking at sherds of pottery in situ than by looking at the same material displayed in a museum.
Analysis can include carbon dating, microscopic, ultra-morphological, chemical, mineralogical or microbiological analysis. Paleographers can date the letters in an inscription by their shape, while language experts can provide an opinion on whether the language is appropriate for the time at which the object is otherwise dated.
The flip side of archaeological evidence is archaeological fraud. Professor Eric Meyers of Duke University said, "Estimates are running as high as 30 or 40 percent of all inscribed materials in the Israel Museum [in Jerusalem] have been forged."
Why is Jesus so important to any discussion of morality?
In a Christian view, Jesus fulfills the role of Savior with what is called the Atonement.
There are two major separations that keep us from returning to God:
#1- Physical Death. - Since the transgressions of Adam, our bodies experience death.
#2- Spiritual Death. - Sin and mistakes cause us to have a spiritual separation from God.
Both separations are resolved through Jesus Christ.
Justice and Mercy are two separate principles that seem to contradict each other. If Justice is served, mercy is forgotten. If mercy is given, justice is denied.
Christians believe that no unclean thing can dwell in the presence of God. As we all have weaknesses and make mistakes in our lives, a just God would require there to be a punishment for all sin. The punishment for sin is a separation with God. He does not leave us, but rather, we, through our choices, distance ourselves from Him.
But what of mercy?
Christians believe that the sins of the repentant person are forgiven and the punishment associated by that sin was taken by Jesus Christ through his suffering in Gesemne and crucifixion on the cross. That way, God is able to be just and be merciful at the same time. Justice because a price for sin was paid. But He is merciful because He provided His Son to atone for the sins of His people.
With Christianity, Jesus is looked at as not only a good teacher, but an example in every way He lived. Throughout His life He taught a higher law that went beyond the law of Moses. Instead of and eye for an eye, He taught to turn the other cheek. He taught love, and forgiveness. He showed His example through baptism and miracles.
He inherited mortality from His mother, but was the son of God and could give His life as He chose. He gave it up willingly. On the third day after He was crucified, He was resurrected. His body and spirit reunited again, never to be separated. His resurrection paved they way for all mankind to be resurrected. Thus overcoming the 1st separation from God. Through forgiveness of sin, we can overcome the 2nd separation from God which makes us pure and clean to enter his presence after death.
Does ac stand for after Jesus Christ?
A.D Stands for 'Anno Domini'- Latin for "The age of our Lord" Beginning when Jesus of Nazareth was born. B.C Simply meaning 'Before Christ'.
A non-religious alternative to the use of B.C is 'Before common Era' in designating the first period of the Gregorian Calendar, the era of prehistory and antiquity. Replacing Anno Domini is now C.E, 'Common Era'.
It was the custom for procurators (Pontius Pilate) to reside in Jerusalem during the great feast days. While in Jerusalem, Pontius Pilate would stay at his official residence in Herod's palace. It was outside of this building that Jesus was tried as it was forbidden for Jews to enter a Gentiles home or business.
Who succeeded Herod after his death?
It depends on which one you mean.
The name 'Herod', actually, is not one person….it is a family of Idumean (Edomite) political rulers (nominally 'under Law') who ruled over the Jews for a period of time, and fought against Jesus and his teachings,
-Herod the Great was the son of Antipater II.
He is noted for having rebuilt parts of the Temple at Jerusalem, and for the slaughter of boys 2 years old and younger at the time of Jesus' birth, in an attempt to kill the "King" he feared would challenge his kingship (Matthew 2:1-23- As prophesied many years earlier at Jeremiah 31:15 / Hosea 11:1)
-Herod Antipas, the son of Herod the Great, inherited the rulership of Galilee and Perea (Matthew 14:9; Mark 6:14, 22+25-27). He built a city on the Sea of Galilee, named Tiberias, after the emperor(John 6:1+23) and he is especially well known for killing John the Baptizer because John spoke out against Antipas' adulterous relationship with Herodias (Matthew 14:3-12; Mark 6:17-29). He was the Herod that Jesus faced after going before Pilate (Luke 23:1-12)(Acts 4:27-29) . He was eventually banished to Gaul by Caesar and died in Spain.
-Herod Agrippa I was the grandson of Herod the Great (half brother of Antipas) and was noted for persecuting Christians and killing James (Acts 12:1+2) . Historians feel that Agrippa I died at 54 years old around 44 CE, after ruling ALL of Judea for three years. His daughters Bernice, Drusilla (wife of Gov. Felix), and Mariamne III outlived him( Acts 24:24)(Acts 25:13) and he was succeeded by his son, Agrippa II.
-Herod Agrippa II- son of Agrippa I. He carried on a incestuous relationship with his sister, Bernice, and eventually married her, causing much scandal. He listened to a case involving the Apostle Paul when visiting Festus in Rome (Acts 25:13-26:32), and died childless in Rome around 100CE after the destruction of Jerusalem.
-Herod Philip, was not a ruler, but was passed over for rulership, and mentioned briefly as the former husband of Herodias whose daughter danced before Antipas , having John the Baptizer beheaded. (Matthew 14:3; Mark 6:17, 18; and Luke 3:19).
-Philip the Tetrarch, Son of Herod the Great and Cleopatra, and husband of Salome (daughter of Herod Philip and Herodias), who was most probably the daughter who danced for Antipas, mentioned earlier. He's alluded to only once scripturally(Luke3:1) .
Which is the date of birth of Jesus Christ?
No one knows for sure. The New Testament provides conflicting time frames.
Jesus was born on or before 4BCE, because Herod died 4BCE.
Jesus was born on or after 6CE, because Cyrenius became governor of Syria on 6CE:-
However, some think it was on the Feast of Tabernacles (September-October).
The exact date of birth of Jesus Christ is not known, although over several centuries December 25 evolved as the day it is celebrated. But while biblical scholars do not know exactly when Christ was born, they generally agree it was actually in the spring or fall, not in late December.
In the year o! yep! the year zero because peoples didnt have years and time(like 9 o'clock) back then it was later discovered that it would be easier with years and time!
EDIT: This answer is wrong, there is no year 0. The Jews marked they year by the time they had been occupied by rome, Romans judged time by the age of the empire.
Jesus cuts off the ear of the high prelate slave ----> Correction. Jesus did not cut the ear off of anyone. Jesus never used swords or weapons. The ear was cut off in the fight between the Roman guards and the Disciples who were trying to protect Jesus. He then told them to stop fighting and trust Him. He then also healed the ear of the man.
Mark organised the first gospel account of the death of Jesus in a twenty-four hour cycle, neatly divided into eight three-hour segments. The story started (14:17) "when it was evening", or approximately 6 pm. The Passover meal lasts for three hours and is concluded with the singing of a hymn, after which HJesus went to the Garden of Gethsemene. He was arrested at 12 midnight and taken before the High Priests at 3 o'clock in the morning and then before Pontius Pilate at 6 o'clock.
Mark told his readers once again that this drama has been shaped liturgically, saying, " It was the third hour," or 9 o'clock "when they crucified him". When "the sixth hour had come" (12 noon), darkness covered the whole earth for 3 hours, at which time Jesus said "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" He was buried by 6 pm and the start of the Jewish Sabbath.
On this original account, more or less faithfully followed by the other gospels, Jesus died after exactly twelve hours on the cross.
How many times was Jesus on trial?
one
1. By Satan, 2. by Herod, 3. by the Jews 4. By Rome 5. By the Samaritans 6. by Jehovah who gave the victory to His son Jesus.
ANSWER
Jesus underwent many, many trials by Satan but this isn't what this question is about. It is about the trials of Man, not Satan.
.
After His arrest, Jesus underwent 6 trials before man. . Three of the trials were religious, and three were civil - and each one of them was illegal because they each broke different components of Jewish Law.
The first trial was before Annas, the former High Priest. Annas wanted to know Jesus' intentions.
.The next trial was before Caiaphas. He was the current High Priest and Annas' son-in-law. Caiaphas sought to "find some kind of charge that they could bring against Jesus." In other words, "What can we find wrong with Him?"
The next trial was the "official" one. It was held in the daytime at the Council Chamber, with all the Sanhedrin and everything! (Luke 22:66-71)
The 4th trial was before Pilate. The Jews were "supposedly" bringing Jesus to Pilate out of concern for the civil law. They said, "We found this man misleading our nation, and forbidding people to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He, Himself is Christ, a King!" In other words, "We just thought you ought to know."
The 5th trial that took place was before King Herod Antipas. Herod never really cared who Jesus was; he just wanted Jesus to "perform."
For the last trial Jesus was brought back to Pilate. This trial should really make us think. Pilate has just about "had it" with this crew of priests and scribes. Pilate was truly afraid that Jesus was God, but he was more afraid of Caesar than he was of God.
Of the 6 trials, the 2 before Pilate were definitely Roman, but it can also be argued that there were actually 3 Roman trials because Herod Antipas had been appointed tetrarch of Galilee and Perea by the Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar.
