Pros and Cons of Kairos' Forum on The Real Jesus Christ of History

Here is a list of pros and cons after attending yesterday's night seminar at Dream Center, DUMC. Pros attendees are given the awareness on the study of historical Jesus attendees are given the awareness that media companies are producing documentaries on historical Jesus attendees are alerted on the influence of media and their preferred positions in their popular presentations of the real Jesus Christ the panel is willing to receive corrections from the floor attendance and participation from open-minded Muslims Cons attendees are not given an ample introduction on the study of historical Jesus as a result, many in the audience lose concentration and their understanding on the whole issue may be questionable inaccurate information on the three quests of historical Jesus as a result, the third quest which actually grounds Jesus in the Jewish context is associated with Jesus Seminar or scholars who are more inclined towards the gnostic gospels ineffective use of techn

Chinese New Year and Passover - a message from the Lord?

For many years, I have been thinking about this matter because as a Chinese brought up in a potpourri Taoist, Confucius and Buddhist traditions, I see a number of interesting similarities between Chinese New Year and Passover, as recorded in the Bible. The next two or three postings will contain some of these similarities and my own personal opinion or conclusion.

A preview and a check on the back cover assuaged my fears. It was produced 2 years ago and the quality of the wide-screen production was good. It was costly (RM79.90), but I thought it would be a good investment for bible study and an unobtrusive way in introducing Christ Jesus to friends in the comfort of our living room. As a matter of fact, the DVD contains a lot of scholars whom I really like e.g. Craig Evans, N.T. Wright, Ben Witherington III,Craig Bloomberg, William Lane Craig, J. P. Moreland, etc. Of course, due to its purpose, proponents of an alternative view or views such as Marcus Borg, Dominic Crossan, Jonathan Reed, Elain Pagels and others do not appear in this DVD. This can be contrasted with the Jesus Revealed documentary produced by National Geographic that was aired on Astro during
