Brief Thoughts on Hell, Part 5 - Is the Hell we Have Come to Know a Myth?

For part 5 of this series on Hell, I just wanted to share the link to this post I read recently that was published on Huff Post Religion, and is written by Jon M. Sweeney. The article is titled: Hell Is a Myth -- Actually, a Bunch of Myths. Anyhow, I really do not want to comment much about the article, and prefer that you read it and decide for yourself what you think. I know that I enjoyed reading it, and I hope you do as well. The link to the article is found below. Blessings!

Who was the First to Recognize Jesus as the Messiah?

This is another one of those posts where you will not read too much of what I am thinking about as in other articles like the one titled, About the Previous Post, the Codex and Satan, On Doubt, On Scriptures like Daniel 10, and On Struggles, in which you probably are burdened with reading about too many of my thoughts all at once…lol. Well, taking a break from my ideas, I wanted to share this article by Ben Witherington III which I read in the Bible History Daily from the Biblical Archeology Review. The article is titled: Mary, Simeon or Anna: Who First Recognized Jesus as Messiah? Enough introductions, the link to the article is below, and I hope you enjoy reading it. Blessings!
