Religion in Greece is dominated by Christianity, in particular the Greek Orthodox Church, which is within the larger communion of the Eastern Orthodox Church. While many of the early Greek philosophers, up to and including Socrates, either did not record their thoughts or wrote books and essays that were destroyed, the philosophers from the time of Plato onward did leave books of their teachings. With Socrates (469-399 bce), Greek philosophy entered a new period. To many in the region – writers, singers, poets, just plain folk – they are a harbinger, mostly of no good. Some long-held bird beliefs even manage to contradict one another, giving a species a lucky aura in one region and an air of wickedness in others. These accidental collisions are messy and unpleasant, but not necessarily unlucky – except for the poor, unfortunate bird throwing itself against the window. Out of fear of the temple’s closure due to an open trial during Passover, Caiaphas orders an immediate trial during the late hours of night in privacy, which are violations of Jewish law, against the order of other priests. Since it’s Passover, Pilate says he will follow tradition and free a prisoner of the people’s choosing, and if they choose Jesus, he will be set free.

Caiaphas, the head of the Pharisees, is afraid that Jesus’ presence in the city will further agitate his people, who are already in a near state of revolt against the oppressive Romans, led by Pontius Pilate. That is important to bear in mind, often in the west the punishments in response to horrific crimes are relatively light, with remarkably low punitive content. Since none of Jesus’ followers are allowed into the courtyard, Caiaphas easily sways the vote so that Barabbas is set free. About a fifth of the Japanese Brazilian community are followers of Buddhism. Accomplished, Jesus dies as the temple and earth are shaken by an earthquake. This kind of high god-the deus otiosus, Latin for “hidden, or idle, god”-is one who has delegated all work on earth to what are called “nature spirits,” which are the forces or personifications of the forces of nature. But most of us understand that 100 years from now, our grandchildren will look back at us with the same kind of mild sympathy, thinking of us as primitive and unknowing. The night before Passover, Jesus tells the disciples this will be their Last Supper together and says that one of them will betray him.

Caiaphas believes if the Pharisees killed Jesus on Passover, it would start a riot, so he turns him over to the Romans for the punishment. The Pharisees give him 30 pieces of silver for his assistance. Three days later, Magdalene goes to visit the tomb but is shocked to see the rock broken into pieces and the tomb empty. I would like to see justice in the world. He writes in his journal nightly, and we get to see the tales he is recounting. The question is that if Allah (SWT) has such strong reward policy then why people get tempted towards evil. Fearing a riot among the hostile people, Pilate orders the crucifixion, then literally washes his hands of the situation. It is revealed that, earlier, Pilate had warned Caiaphas that if there were any trouble from the Jews, he would close the temple, thus cancelling Passover. Pilate then asks what he should do with Jesus, and again Caiaphas sways the crowd to have him executed by way of crucifixion. After forgiving the Romans and the Pharisees who condemned him to death, he asks why God has forsaken him, and declares “It is finished”.

Judas, one of Jesus’ disciples, approaches the Pharisees. Judas, horrified by what he has done, throws the silver at the Pharisees and runs off; he later hangs himself. The Pharisees claim Jesus is blaspheming God by forgiving sins, something only God can do. Jesus responds by saying he is the Son of God. Education experts, including analyst and author Diane Ravitch, have criticized the decision to force the public to pay for religious schools, saying it violates the Constitution and widens the opening to vouchers, which funnel public money to private schools, including private religious schools. Unregistered religious groups – including house churches, Falun Gong, and underground Catholics – face varying degrees of harassment, including imprisonment and torture under Xi Jinping Administration. And these perfect acoustics are rarely affected by anything, including wind and climate conditions. About 78 million Bibles are distributed each year. 26.5 million in its first weekend. With more than 101 million views in the first 24 hours alone, the video for “Dynamite” easily broke the YouTube record. With John, Mary and Magdalene watching in horror, Jesus is crucified on the cross for several agonizing hours. In Bethlehem, Jesus is born to a virgin named Mary and her husband Joseph.
