Jewish Texts to Consider


The Nephilim, rooted in Canaanite tradition, are depicted as ancient rulers and sometimes giants in the Bible. Their connection to the flood narrative is debated. The Books of Maccabees describe the Jewish revolt led by Judas Maccabeus against Hellenistic forces, emphasizing divine intervention, faith, and resurrection, which influenced early Christian beliefs. Additionally, the third book recounts the oppression and miraculous deliverance of Jews in Egypt under Ptolemy IV, showcasing divine protection and the ultimate justice of God. These texts showcase the resilience and spiritual convictions of the Jewish and early Christian communities.

Early Christians Did Worship Jesus as God

Archaeologists in Israel have uncovered a significant discovery that sheds light on early Christian beliefs in Jesus's divinity. This finding, considered the greatest Christian discovery since the Dead Sea Scrolls, involves a large mosaic depicting Jesus with the loaves and fishes, dating back over a century before the Council of Nicaea. The mosaic indicates that early Christians worshiped Jesus as God long before it was legally recognized by the Roman Empire. The discovery supports scriptural evidence, such as Thomas referring to Jesus as "My Lord and my God," and underscores the theological belief that Jesus's divine nature was essential for his sacrifice to be effective for humanity's salvation.
