Does God Exist - Six Reasons to Believe that God is Really There - Existence of God - Proof of God
PDFListen to article By Marilyn Adamson Just once wouldn't you love for someone to simply show you the evidence for God's existence? No arm-twisting. No statements of, "You just have to believe." But first consider this. Many examples showing God's design could be given, possibly with no end. The Earth...its size is perfect. The Earth is located the right distance from the sun. And our moon is the perfect size and distance from the Earth for its gravitational pull. Water...colorless, odorless and without taste, and yet no living thing can survive without it. It has wide margin between its boiling point and freezing point. Water is a universal solvent. Water is also chemically neutral. Water has a unique surface tension. Water freezes from the top down and floats, so fish can live in the winter. Ninety-seven percent of the Earth's water is in the oceans. The human brain...simultaneously processes an amazing amount of information. The eye...can distinguish among seven million colors.
¿Sabes cuántas horas trabajaba un campesino de la Edad Media?
Trabajo duro, malas cosechas, hambruna, enfermedades, guerras… Ser campesino en la Edad Media no era precisamente un camino de rosas. Implicaba muchas preocupaciones por toda una serie de aspectos incontrolables como la meteorología, las pandemias o las luchas de poder en la sociedad feudal. Pero tampoco todo era malo, al menos desde la perspectiva de la vorágine del siglo XXI. ¿Cuántas semanas de descanso van a tener este verano? Descanso laboral En pleno Antiguo Régimen, en España las vacaciones sumaban alrededor de cinco meses al año El tiempo de asueto de los españoles era parecido al de los franceses, que tenían garantizados 52 domingos, 90 días de descanso y 38 festivos. “Uno de los mitos más extendidos del capitalismo es que ha reducido el trabajo humano.

Bible Stories for Kids - The Armor of God
...God planned to send Jesus to save us! Save us from what? Well, when God made the world it was perfect in every way. And then Adam came along and ate the fruit God told him not to eat. God try to warn Adam. And that's exactly what Adam did. Well, he didn’t drop over dead right there! And we all sin. We all do what we want to do instead of what God wants us to do. And that’s what Jesus came to save us from! God loves us so much, He sent His Son to make things right again. And the price was very high. But Jesus died FOR us. That's not the end of the story! Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead! Jesus defeated death! If we believe in Jesus, and we believe that he died for our sins, God will raise us from dead just like Jesus rose from the dead! And now God can adopt us as His children. That is the Good News! Now, since we ARE God’s children, we should live like God’s children. But we all know, it's not always easy... We are in a battle! And Satan is sneaky. So put on the whole Armor of God!

The Revelation of the Name YHWH to Moses: Perspectives from Judaism, the Pagan Graeco-Roman World, and Early Christianity (Themes in Biblical Narrative)
The revelation of YHWH's name to Moses is a momentous event according to the Old Testament. The name `Yahweh' is of central importance in Judaism, and `Yahwism' became tantamount to Jewish monotheism. As such, this designation of God also attracted the attention of pagan writers in the Graeco-Roman period. And early Christians had to deal with this divine name as well. About the Author George H. van Kooten (Ph.D., 2001) studied at Leiden, Durham and Oxford, and is Professor of New Testament & Early Christianity at the University of Groningen.
