Christians in Egypt: accused and sentenced to extinction by Muslim Brotherhood

by I B Barsoum

The first preliminary presidential elections in Egypt have already ended. Copts (Egyptian Christians) were neutral during these elections and did not unite to support a specific candidate. Some Copts endorsed Hamdeen Sabbahi [i], others supported Ahmed Sahfik or Amr Mousa and many non-Islamic candidates [ii]. In the end, the elections yielded two candidates as forerunners for a final presidential race [iii]. One is an ex- army general; Ahmed Sahfik, and the other is the head of Muslim Brotherhood (MB) party; Mohammad Morsi. For these results, many Egyptian Muslims are blaming Copts for the rise of Shafik[iv]. Continue reading

The agrapha: Sayings of Jesus not recorded in the gospels

 

from www.textexcavation.com/

An agraphon is a saying of the Lord that was not written down. It is a somewhat unfortunate term, since obviously the saying was written down at some point, else how could we know about it?

A Recently Discovered Authentic Letter to the Apostle Paul

A Recently Discovered Letter of Critique Written to the Apostle Paul

A satire, co-authored with Jared Wilson

Exclusive: In an exciting example of scholarly cross-collaboration and interdisciplinary research, textual critics and archaeologists have just published a translation of a recently discovered first-century letter, apparently authentic, written to the Apostle Paul himself. Scholars believe it was likely written in the late AD 40s or early 50s. The parchment was remarkably well preserved in a jar buried in a cave on the island of Satiricus. It is surmised that the author of the letter, Parodios, was an elder who had met Paul on one of his missionary journeys.

The translation, published here for the first time, reads as follows:

Islamic ‘Death-Sex’ in Context

Islamic ‘Death-Sex’ in Context

Islamic Farewell Intercourse  

An Egyptian cartoon pokes fun at the proposed “farewell intercourse” law. As the spirit of the deceased woman ascends, and as her husband sexually eyes her corpse, she remarks: “O please, man—where were you when I was alive!”

FrontPage Magazine May 1, 2012

Aside from provoking shock, disgust, and denial, last week’s news of Egyptian parliamentarians trying to pass a “farewell intercourse” law legalizing sex with one’s wife up to six hours after she dies has yet to be fully appreciated. Continue reading
