  • No single work has shaped Western civilization more than the Bible. In this provocative seven-part series, renowned archaeologist John Romer traces the roots of the world's most important book in light of archaeological evidence.A variety of forces--from Renaissance ideas, to the spirit of nationalism, to Hollywood reinterpretation--have eroded the Bible's influence, despite the valiant efforts of a few passionate advocates to protect its relevance.

    The guy talking in the beginning of this video was saying how horrible it is that someone stole their virgin Mary, but this panting is just a pagan idol. The Bible says do Not create any graven image and therefore this a act of disobedience according to the very word of God. Also the Bible says there is no mediator between God and man only Christ Jesus and therefore Mary is not to be exonerated or worshiped in any way this is pagan false god symbol of worship. I plead for everyone to stop intergrating pagan worship with biblical worship.

      I understand your worries and anxieties. I have a young grandchild too and worry much about the world she'll grow up in. I also grew up in a traditionally conservative household and church and appreciate some of that upbringing but some of it had to be put aside. I have since that time changed my understanding of God and realize that fear was the main emotion in my religious upbringing. The Bible abounds with stories, psalms, proverbs, parables and more that express God's kind and gentle character which was something not ever mentioned in my upbringing. God is very patient and kind, very understanding too. Worry not about your family. They are in God's love and will realize that one day, when God's timetable dictates. Everything will be ok.

      I grew up in a "religious" conservative post WW2 the American Dream white picket fence culture. Looking back at my bibacle exposure none of the teachings ever encompassed the spiritual world and the focus on the common Bible stories all learn but never expounded on or clarified any of the many unleft and unanswered questions. Everything was depicted like fantasy and story book and any pictures used left a unrealistic depiction. That by itself has caused me to search for the truth. This channel has been an answer to prayers.

      And just because my parents invested in my religious education and were good role models, I still went off the rails. Many bad lifestyle choices, prison, drugs. I rebelled and sought out to numb my brain and not honor God. So don't beat yourself up to bad over your kids, can't pick up spilled milk.
      Use the energy you have regretting it being a walking talking testament to God's grace. I'd start by explaining your regret to your kids and it's never to late.
      Besides if you are a good role model they watch every bit as much as they listen and just your walk will plant seeds and hopefully inspire them.
      I found prayer is very powerful.

      there is only 1, one, won TRUTH my friend..ALL the rest is called "religion"
      but since you seem to believe things that are not true, i must say...
      you absoliutely do NOT know what youre talking about whatsoever!
      i truly find it sad that so many people out there...like yourself have more desire to seek out the things "of the world" rather than the things " of God"...
      no man..EVER became God.. God always IS... god is eternal..having no creator, HE CREATED ALL THINGS. just like He created you.
      if you knew anything about the truth in the Word of God and who God is then you would retract your previous comment... however you like most others would rather regirgutate the things you hear by other deniers and rejectors of God and His word.
      before you try to claim that God requires human to forgive, you have NOT read the old testament... do yourself a favor before you blaspheme God without knowing it and why dont you do as God says ...SEEK THE TRUTH.
      or is that to much for you to do given the limited time youre given on earth?
      sad... most people would rather spend their entire lives seeking money, women, sexual pervertedness, idolatry and anything that a "fallen" earh will deceive people into doing.... yet what most do now know is that those who seek the things of this world over seeking Gods face EVERYDAY cannot see, nor hear nor even begin to comprehend the things of God.
      wake up everyday people do, in search of that 1 thing they cannot seem to find.. that thing that theyve deceived themselves into believing will make their lives "complete"... yet even the ones who aquire whatever it is they are in search of end up being more broken, empty and voided inside. ..especially those who spend half a lifetime seeking that out. there will ALWAYS be that next thing when they realize whatever they were in search of doesnt fulfill that void.
      thats because he world you and all others live in is run by satan...the very satan most deny even exists. the greatest lie ever told and believed is that the devil dont exist... yet we can clearly see his doings in all things...especially the system of systems that people call the world system...
      but what do i know?.... i am a no named, nobody...a wretched sinner who dont deserve Gods wonderful love and yet ... I HAVE IT!
      i have received the very Spirit of God and it was God HIMSELF who gave it to me.
      its an actual event my friend...but considering the false claims youve stated, what would you know about that?
      you can either choose to serve your own flesh in a corrupt, crooked and cursed world or you can turn from your own sin and seek the righteousness of God...the same God you deny and the same God who knew you before you were even formed in your mothers womb.
      ill go ahead and say now that chances are you will get triggered by this comment and in a conviction of your soul, you will react with hate and contempt.
      however that dont change the fact that i have witnessed your denial of who God is as youve been deceived into believing a lie told from a fallen world.
      before you make claims of which you know not, try doing actual due diligence YOURSELF.... because if you deny that Christ has come in the flesh, is of God ..thats a scary place to be... i urge you to seek Christ while He may be found.
      dont just buy into the lies so loosely spewn throughout the world by sinners who use them to justify their choices of sin.
      snap your finger..... there just went your entire life thusfar... that was quick huh?
      the next 10, 20 or 50 years will seem to go by alot faster...
      know that if for 1 second i had any doubt whatsoever in who God is and what He has done by sending His only begotten Son for you and i and all who will believe in their heart..if i didnt know 1st hand and by experience of receiving the "GIFT" of salvation ..if i had any doubt at all, why woud i use the very limited time typing all of this out to someone ive never known, met and may never speak to again?
      ask yourself that friend.
      but do take this msg as a promise and as confirmation for yourself that , you my friend have been "BAMBOOZLED BY BEAZELBUB" like so many others...
      rather i urge you to seek God out with all your heart, mind and strength while He may be found. i dont know you from adam sow to speak yet, i do care for your eternal condition. i hope that you look into the very claims you make and rater than hardening your heart, you give your heart to God...

      The Quran is a book of hate and murder. Any book that tells it's followers to "" kill the infidels '"" is not relevant
