Could a Born-again Christian with the Bible, be a match for today's top secular Scientists, trained in General Relativity and Quantum Physics laws? Especially when it comes to answering the most far reaching and important question of all times: Does The Eternal God of the Bible exist? The answer is a resounding - Yes! Now the leading scientific authorities of today refer to Him, merely as an intelligent designer- most denying, either, His existence or His relevance. But God has His witnesses - mainly the Bible and those who believe in it and in Him (actually all of creation). At the core of this book is one of today's most incredible scientific discoveries: The Black Hole. There is nothing like it in this universe. Scientists are awed by its power and baffled by its mysteries. They've learned so much about it but we've discovered something even more revealing. This is that the Bible speaks of the Black Hole, long before it was even imagined by scientists. The "Lake of Fire" (also known as "Outter Darkness") is what is it called in the Bible. I believe these is ample scientific evidence to back up the claim that these two entities are one and the same - although it's doubtful that the researchers intended such evidence to prove what is clearly an antithesis to them. The esteemed astrophysicist, Stephen Hawking, once said that "black holes are not the eternal prisons as once thought". It is ironic that, as it turns out, the exact opposite is true. Some Black Holes are actually created by the Eternal God of the Bible as an Eternal Prison. This revelation should shock us awake in a manner that is, at once, horribly chilling and glorious devine. Imagine; what could be worst than entering a black hole and being destroyed? How about the actual certainty of being thrown onto one someday and not being destroyed but instead, being tormented alive inside - forever. Better to bow now before a loving Savior-than to be under the fearsome gaze of "The Angry Eye of GOD" at His Great White Throne Judgement. "Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you perish from the way when his wrath is kindly but a litte. Blessed are all they put their trust in Him."-Psalms 2:12

This in-depth exploration of emotions in the ancient Near East illuminates the rich and complex worlds of feelings encompassed within the literary and material remains of this remarkable region, home to many of the world’s earliest cities and empires, and lays critical foundations for future study. Thirty-four chapters by leading international scholars, including philologists, art historians, and archaeologists, examine the ways in which emotions were conceived, experienced, and expressed by the peoples of the ancient Near East, with particular attention to Mesopotamia, Anatolia, and the kingdom of Ugarit, from the Late Uruk through to the Neo-Babylonian Period (ca. 3300–539 BCE). The volume is divided into two parts: the first addressing theoretical and methodological issues through thematic analyses and the second encompassing corpus-based approaches to specific emotions. Part I addresses emotions and history, defining the terms, materialization and material remains, kings and the state, and engaging the gods. Part II explores happiness and joy; fear, terror, and awe; sadness, grief, and depression; contempt, disgust, and shame; anger and hate; envy and jealousy; love, affection, and admiration; and pity, empathy, and compassion. Numerous sub-themes threading through the volume explore such topics as emotional expression and suppression in relation to social status, gender, the body, and particular social and spatial conditions or material contexts. The Routledge Handbook of Emotions in the Ancient Near East is an invaluable and accessible resource for Near Eastern studies and adjacent fields, including Classical, Biblical, and medieval studies, and a must-read for scholars, students, and others interested in the history and cross-cultural study of emotions.

An authoritative guide to the Egyptian myths that sheds new light on an ancient way of understanding the world This survey of Egyptian mythology explores how the ancient Nile-dwellers explained the world around them. It delves into the creation and evolution of the world and the reigns of the gods on earth, before introducing us to the manifestations of Egypt’s deities in the natural environment; the inventive ways in which the Egyptians dealt with the invisible forces all around them; and their beliefs about life after death. Through his engaging narrative, Garry Shaw guides us through the mythic adventures of such famous deities as Osiris, the god murdered by his jealous brother Seth; the magical and sometimes devious Isis, who plotted to gain the power of the sun god Re; and Horus, who defeated his uncle Seth to become king of Egypt. He also introduces us to lesser known myths, such as the rebellions against Re; Geb’s quest for Re’s magical wig; and the flaying of the unfortunate god Nemty. From stars and heavenly bodies sailing on boats, to the wind as manifestation of the god Shu, to gods, goddesses, ghosts, and demons—beings that could be aggressive, helpful, wise, or dangerous—Shaw goes on to explain how the Egyptians encountered the mythological in their everyday lives.

How can we make sense of violence in the Bible? Joshua commands the people of Israel to wipe out everyone in the promised land of Canaan, while Jesus commands God’s people to love their enemies. How are we to interpret biblical passages on violence when it is sanctioned at one point and condemned at another? The Violence of the Biblical God by L. Daniel Hawk presents a new framework, solidly rooted in the authority of Scripture, for understanding the paradox of God’s participation in violence. Hawk shows how the historical narrative of the Bible offers multiple canonical pictures for faithful Christian engagement with the violent systems of the world.
