There are numerous historical sources outside of the Bible that give us insight into how Jesus was viewed and remembered in ancient times. This article highlights 16 sources that mention Jesus, shedding light on His existence and influence beyond the scriptures. Flavius Josephus (c. 37-100 AD) Josephus, a Jewish historian, offers one of the earliest non-Christian mentions of Jesus in his work "Antiquities of the Jews." He describes Jesus as a wise man and the leader of a movement, providing a unique glimpse into how Jesus was perceived by Jewish historians.

All parables names should start with the first phrase of the story. For example, the correct name for this parable should be "A man with two sons". The parable of the man with two sons has a very very good teaching, but the western world doesn't understand the eastern teachings. Let's clarify this. 1) To understand the Parable you must be an expert in the Law of Moses. First of all, The law tells us that the first son inherits a double portion of ownership from the father.

Therefore, we will go into the story telling of Creation from a general to specifics. We must acknowledge that we will also find a parallelism in the days of creation. Days one to three will tell us the general tale, being more generic in the way things were created but also following a logical sequence for life to exist on this planet. While days four to six will be more in detail, highlighting the most important things in the process of creation with the same idea in mind, following a logical sequence that will culminate in the existence of humankind. The tale will show three different stages of creation with no time frame to be adjudicated as many people have tried in the past. When we don't know how the Bible writers think we come up with wrong conclusions like the Million years theory, the Gap theory, the literal 6 days creation, the days as eons creation theory and many more not worth mentioning but Genesis 1 is a fantastic way to understand how God created everythign we see today. Pay attention to the table below, which is an effort to explain ia Middle East mind in a Western World.
