Be Still and Know That I Am God

 

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

A Cold-Case Detective Interrogates The New Testament Eyewitnesses

Interesting analysis of the truth of Jesus as God; the third person of the Trinity.

He ends by making the point that the atheist’s resistance to Jesus is the inability to believe in miracles. They can believe in Jesus as a Rabbi, a teacher, a person.  It’s the miracles that stop them. 

 I can see the truth of that. 

Yet they believe that the universe came about from nothing; causeless, which is a huge leap of faith.

Suspected Religious Cultists Exposed in Bethlehem

A homeless couple claiming that an "angel" had declared their infant child "the son of God," was caught red-handed while apparently trying to engage in some ritual involving animals behind a local inn. Despite his young age, the unplanned and undocumented child whom they referred to as "Jesus" had already acquired notoriety in the religious underworld, operating under several aliases including Immanuel, Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, and The Prince of Peace. Authorities are investigating a possible link to the highly profitable smuggling of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

The police arrived at the scene after a call made by a local PETA activist who complained that the couple and the mob that followed them had inconvenienced the resident animals and "displaced handfuls of hay" in order to make a bed for the infant. "What sort of people are these that would invade a peaceful manger, disturb the animals in their home, deprive them of sleep of nourishment, and do YHWH knows what else with them?"

Prosecutors are considering charging the couple as accessories to an unauthorized light show that terrorized area shepherds who happened to be tending their flocks at night. No charges are currently being considered against the infant, though authorities have made clear that he will require careful observation and possibly therapy as he grows up.
