There are many valuable lessons that we can learn throughout the Bible. And, the LORD doesn’t disappoint with how quickly we can begin understanding the teachings of Jesus Christ by looking at the Old Testament. One such story is that of Cain and Abel. We first understand that Abel was a keeper of the sheep and Cain was a tiller of the ground. In the end, a rhetorical question applies to all of us, Am I my brother’s keeper? We will look at many of the parables and the teachings of the Messiah, Then, we will tie it all back into the story of Cain and Abel.

Why is the Book of Jude in the New Testament? Why is it so important that we know about angels that sinned thousands of years ago? What can we learn from the words of Jesus Christ, which will help us understand the Book of Jude? Let us take a voyage through the words of the Messiah as we ponder these questions, find some of the answers, and see what the time of the unveiling is.

In Biblical meaning, Calvary means, "The Place of a Skull." What are the chances that the identity of this location has an even deeper meaning? We will swim through the New Testament teachings of Paul, as we discover the hidden meaning behind the place where Jesus Christ was crucified. Gain an understanding that very few are aware of, as we take this journey to Golgotha together.

By the words of Jesus Christ, everything stands. He is he chief cornerstone of the Church. Before we can understand what the Epistles mean, we first need to build our foundation off of His words. Let's take a journey with the Messiah together, as we swim through the Gospels, and the words of the Apostles. After we gain understanding, we can walk as He walked.

In the Eternal and the Everlasting there is GOD. He is the Word. He is the Beginning and He is the End. All things that exist and have life come from Him and were created by Him and for Him. There was a time preceding this one. There was a first estate. We were all angels once. During the everlasting, we all knew this. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he has bound in bodies of flesh and bone, asleep, waiting to be woken up, waiting to be risen from the dead. We were all cast out of Heaven. Some of us went willingly. Some of us for chastisement, rebuke, and correction. The LORD knows those who are His. One thing rings true to us all. We gave ourselves over to fornication, going after strange flesh, and something that was contrary to what we all had been taught, and what we once were. Now, we are in danger of suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. What is it that you think we all could have done that would equate an eternity of everlasting punishment? One sin that was committed thousands of years ago by only two people?

As someone who follows Jesus Christ, have you counted the cost? Have you done what the Lord requires of all of us, as His disciples? We're you even aware that there was a cost? Jesus tells us within a parable in Luke 14, "For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish." In the parable of the poor widow, we can see precisely what the Messiah is teaching us.

The questions to life's most unanswered questions can be found in one place, the Bible. The time of the Apocalypse simply means the time of the unveiling, or the time of revelation. See those things which Prophets have desired to look into. Let's take off the cover and show what Jesus Christ was teaching. As well as what the Apostles and some of the Prophets knew.

Epistemology has for a long time focused on the concept of knowledge and tried to answer questions such as whether knowledge is possible and how much of it there is. Often missing from this inquiry, however, is a discussion on the value of knowledge. In The Value of Knowledge and the Pursuit of Understanding Jonathan Kvanvig argues that epistemology properly conceived cannot ignore the question of the value of knowledge. He also questions one of the most fundamental assumptions in epistemology, namely that knowledge is always more valuable than the value of its subparts. Taking Platos' Meno as a starting point of his discussion, Kvanvig tackles the different arguments about the value of knowledge and comes to the conclusion that knowledge is less valuable than generally assumed. Clearly written and well argued, this 2003 book will appeal to students and professionals in epistemology.

For the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States, the vigorous national debate on immigration reform will determine their future, whether they are allowed to stay, work and become citizens. But the undocumented themselves are not the only ones whose lives will be profoundly affected. Nationwide, an estimated 4.5 million children who are U.S. citizens by birth live in families where one or more of their parents are undocumented. These children will grow up to be our future family members, neighbors and co-workers, and their health and well-being as children today will translate into their health and well-being as adults, ultimately shaping the health of our communities. However, these children and their families live with anxiety about the future, fearful that arrest, detention or deportation will tear their families apart. Anxiety and fear are only part of the damaging impacts of their families' precarious legal status. Children of the undocumented may also suffer from poverty, diminished access to food and health care, mental health and behavioral problems and limited educational opportunities, particularly when a parent is arrested and detained or deported. An extensive body of research shows that these factors are fundamental determinants of child health today, and their adolescent and adult health in the future. Building on this research, this study provides further evidence that a continued policy of detention and deportation comes at the expense of health for children with undocumented parents.
