About Easter

John 13:34-35 (New International Version)
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

Last Sunday witnessed a joyful celebration in Gent. Several Evangelical Churches came together for a joint-service. It was simply awesome. It was a signpost to resurrection. Unity is possible despite the diversity of ideas, doctrines and emphasis.

I thought in the concept of "extended family" meeting. Everyone knows which nuclear family belongs to, but all together make the complete picture! It was a success, and I hope this land will be blessed by God's children!

Alleluia, Jesus is risen!

NT Wright on Resurrection

Thanks God he is out!

My first 2009 post goes to celebrate the end of the Bush era! Finally, this man will no longer be "the Emperor" and hopefully his successor will amend, if possible, his mistakes as leader.

Happy 2009!

May God be merciful with the World outside the US and also with the US population.

Earliest Christian church: archeological findings on de divinity of Jesus

I found the following story at sydneyanglicans.net A documentary film will be released in 2009 including archeological and historical evidence of how early Christians worshiped, and their understanding of Jesus as God. I'm posting the first part of the article here, and it can be read in full here.

"The Life of Jesus film crew has gained rare access to an archaeological find that cements historical evidence early Christians worshiped Jesus as divine.

Dr John Dickson, the series’ host and co-founder of the Centre for Public Christianity, will guide viewers through the remains of an ancient prayer hall unearthed at Megiddo in central Israel.

“The inscriptions on the mosaic floor are remarkable,” Dr Dickson says.

“One of them names a benefactor called Gaianus who is described as a centurion. Another mentions a woman called Akeptous who ‘…offered this table in memorial of the God Jesus Christ’.”

The inscriptions cast more doubt on claims made by prominent atheists and popular authors that Jesus’ divinity was an invention by the fourth century church.

“Here is extraordinary physical evidence from the century before Constantine and the Council of Nicaea that Christians, including Roman officials, were worshipping Jesus as divine,” Dr Dickson explains.
