Dr. Claude Mariottini - Professor of Old Testament: The Portraits of the Apostles Peter and John

Dr. Mariottini has called attention to an article about a very recent discovery! 4th century portraits of  Peter, James, John, and Paul! This is cool. I sure wish that there were better pictures to see them  full on.

Answering Muslims: Thomas More Law Center Represents Four Christian Missionaries Arrested at Arab Festival in Dearborn

Here is some more news regarding the arrests of Christians at an Arab Festival:

Arrested on charges of Breach of the Peace are: Negeen Mayel, Dr. Nabeel Qureshi, Paul Rezkalla, and David Wood. Mayel, an eighteen year old female, whose parents emigrated from Afghanistan and a recent convert from Islam to Christianity, was also charged with failure to obey a police officer’s orders. She was approximately 100 feet away and videotaping a discussion with some Muslims when her camera was seized.


I'm glad that they have good legal representation . I wanna see how this plays out because it has far reaching consequences.

ghettoManga: Boondocks TOASTED Tyler Perry this episode!

I saw this great post on the ghettoManga regarding last Sunday's episode of Boondocks. I don't think they just toasted Tyler Perry, they blasted him and his work. I thought it was funny in many ways. I do not think that Perry is a homosexual, however I've got to admit that as Christians we open ourselves up to ridicule condoning cross dressing when we endorse Madea. I like Perry's work and I think that his non-Madea plays and movies are his best work. However he can't seem to get as much support without Madea. Which is sad. Many people try to look over the fact that Tyler Perry is cross dressing because he is giving good solid Christian messages and using humor to give it. The issue is so subtle. Do the end truly justify the means? I don't think so. On top of that, we bear just as much responsibility as Hollywood. I think the Hollywood execs are interested in making money regardless of the message being sent. They want Madea to continue because the character sells. I mean a lot of people went to see Madea Goes To Jail but did not go see Why Did I Get Married?

A list of over 700 inconsistencies in the Bible From www.skepticsannotatedbible.com

Many of the atheists I've spoken to on Twitter/Facebook/and blogs are using a single source for contradictions in religious books. They are using the Skeptic's Annotated Bible /Quran / Book of Mormon  website. It's a searchable and indexed site for finding "problem passages" - you know magic bullets they think they can use to substantiate their rejection of God. They tell themselves the Bible is wrong.  One of the things they make available on their site is a 45 page list claiming 700 contradictions in the Bible - organized according to the books of the Bible. They don't hold any water. I'm planning a series of posts responding to those passages that I have not discussed on this blog.
