O descoperire arheologică atestă existenţa oraşului Betleem

de la http://www.semneletimpului.ro

Anunţul a fost făcut miercuri de către Autoritatea Israeliană pentru Antichităţi, care a subliniat că descoperirea reprezintă o premieră.

O echipă de arheologi a descoperit un sigiliu din argilă, cu diametrul de numai 1,27 cm, pe care este inscripţionat în numele „Bethleem” şi care ar putea fi dovada existenţei acestei localităţi în epoca biblică. Descoperirea a fost facuta in timpul unor sapaturi arheologice efectuate in zona denumita „orasul lui David” din Parcul National din Ierusalim.

Arheologii afirmă că aceasta este prima dată când numele de Betleem apare în afara scrierilor din Biblie, pe o inscripţie din perioada Primului Templu, ceea ce dovedeşte că oraşul a existat în Regatul lui Iuda.

Se pare că pecetea este datată din secolele al VII-lea sau al VIII-lea î.Hr., într-o perioadă în care asemenea peceţi erau folosit pentru transporturile din Regatul lui Iuda, informează site-ul Christian Post.

Oraşul Betleem este menţionat prima oară în Biblie în cartea Geneza, ca locul în care este îngropată Rahela, soţia Iacov. Conform Noului Testament, oraşul Betleem, aflat în Cisiordania, la sud de Ierusalim, este şi locul naşterii lui Isus.

Video of the week – Paul Washer – Death

Why will you live a life that has no meaning?

PAGE of LINKS to Sermons and Biblical Resources in the Chinese language (Audio, Video and Online Books)

Having been born in a (once) communist country, Romania, we know firsthand the persecution that the church endured and the preciousness of any Bibles and Biblical material that would be shared secretly by believers. Yesterday, we had the pleasure to find out that Martin Tu, a reader from Taiwan who came across our blog, has been translating and subtitling video sermons in the Chinese language by Paul Washer, Bob Jennings, Tim Conway, Leonard Ravenhill, Al Mohler with Ravi Zacharias and RC Sproul, John Piper and John MacArthur. Below are some links that we are familiar with that can be shared with our brothers and sisters in China. Pray for the Lord to open the hearts and eyes of the men and women of China so that they may receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ unto salvation. Also pray that God raises up men and women to do the tedious work of translating and to be ready to serve when and where God will open doors in this huge country (see map comparison to the USA at bottom of this page).

Matthew 9:35-38 

The Harvest Is Plentiful, the Laborers Few

³⁵  And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. ³⁶ When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. ³⁷  Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; ³⁸ therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest tosend out laborers into his harvest.”

Gallup: The prevalence of the creationist view of the origin of humans is essentially unchanged from 30 years ago

In U.S., 46% Hold Creationist View

of Human Origins

Highly religious Americans most likely to believe in creationism

by Frank Newport

PRINCETON, NJ – Forty-six percent of Americans believe in the creationist view that God created humans in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years. The prevalence of this creationist view of the origin of humans is essentially unchanged from 30 years ago, when Gallup first asked the question. About a third of Americans believe that humans evolved, but with God’s guidance; 15% say humans evolved, but that God had no part in the process.

Gallup has asked Americans to choose among these three explanations for the origin and development of human beings 11 times since 1982. Although the percentages choosing each view have varied from survey to survey, the 46% who today choose the creationist explanation is virtually the same as the 45% average over that period – and very similar to the 44% who chose that explanation in 1982. The 32% who choose the „theistic evolution” view that humans evolved under God’s guidance is slightly below the 30-year average of 37%, while the 15% choosing the secular evolution view is slightly higher (12%).

The Most Religious Americans Are Most Likely to Be Creationists

Gallup’s question wording explicitly frames the three alternatives in terms of God’s involvement in the process of human development, making it less than surprising to find that the more religious the American, the more likely he or she is to choose the creationist viewpoint.

Two-thirds of Americans who attend religious services weekly choose the creationist alternative, compared with 25% of those who say they seldom or never attend church. The views of Americans who attend almost every week or monthly fall in between those of the other two groups. Still, those who seldom or never attend church are more likely to believe that God guided the evolutionary process than to believe that humans evolved with no input from God.

Majority of Republicans Are Creationists

Highly religious Americans are more likely to be Republican than those who are less religious, which helps explain the relationship between partisanship and beliefs about human origins. The major distinction is between Republicans and everyone else. While 58% of Republicans believe that God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years, 39% of independents and 41% of Democrats agree.

Those With Postgraduate Education Least Likely to Believe in Creationist Explanation

Americans with postgraduate education are most likely of all the educational groups to say humans evolved without God’s guidance, and least likely to say God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years. The creationist viewpoint „wins” among Americans with less than a postgraduate education.

Implications

Despite the many changes that have taken place in American society and culture over the past 30 years, including new discoveries in biological and social science, there has been virtually no sustained change in Americans’ views of the origin of the human species since 1982. The 46% of Americans who today believe that God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years is little changed from the 44% who believed this 30 years ago, when Gallup first asked the question.

More broadly, some 78% of Americans today believe that God had a hand in the development of humans in some way, just slightly less than the percentage who felt this way 30 years ago.

All in all, there is no evidence in this trend of a substantial movement toward a secular viewpoint on human origins.

Most Americans are not scientists, of course, and cannot be expected to understand all of the latest evidence and competing viewpoints on the development of the human species. Still, it would be hard to dispute that most scientists who study humans agree that the species evolved over millions of years, and that relatively few scientists believe that humans began in their current form only 10,000 years ago without the benefit of evolution. Thus, almost half of Americans today hold a belief, at least as measured by this question wording, that is at odds with the preponderance of the scientific literature.

Survey MethodsResults for this USA Today/Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted May 10-13, 2012, with a random sample of 1,012 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.For results based on the total sample of national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points.Interviews are conducted with respondents on landline telephones and cellular phones, with interviews conducted in Spanish for respondents who are primarily Spanish-speaking. Each sample includes a minimum quota of 400 cell phone respondents and 600 landline respondents per 1,000 national adults, with additional minimum quotas among landline respondents by region. Landline telephone numbers are chosen at random among listed telephone numbers. Cell phone numbers are selected using random-digit-dial methods. Landline respondents are chosen at random within each household on the basis of which member had the most recent birthday.Samples are weighted by gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, region, adults in the household, and phone status (cell phone only/landline only/both, cell phone mostly, and having an unlisted landline number). Demographic weighting targets are based on the March 2011 Current Population Survey figures for the aged 18 and older non-institutionalized population living in U.S. telephone households. All reported margins of sampling error include the computed design effects for weighting and sample design.

In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.
