How The Apostles Died/ The Death of Jesus
1. Matthew suffered martyrdom in Ethiopia, killed by a sword wound.
2. Mark died in Alexandria, Egypt, after being dragged by horses through the streets until he was dead.
3. Luke was hanged in Greece as a result of his tremendous preaching to the lost.
4. John faced martyrdom when he was boiled in huge basin of boiling oil during a wave of persecution in Rome; however, he was miraculously delivered from death.John was then sentenced to the mines on the prison Island of Patmos. He wrote the Book of Revelation on Patmos. The apostle John was later freed and returned to serve as Bishop of Edessa in modern Turkey . He died as an old man, the only apostle to die peacefully.
5. Peter he was crucified upside down on an x-shaped cross. According to church tradition it was because he told his tormentors that he felt unworthy to die in the same way that Jesus Christ had died.
6. James the leader of the church in Jerusalem , was thrown over a hundred feet down from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, his enemies beat James to death with a fuller’s club.* This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the Temptation.
7. James the Great Son of Zebedee, was a fisherman by trade when Jesus called him to a lifetime of ministry. As a strong leader of the church, James was ultimately beheaded at Jerusalem. The Roman officer who guarded James watched amazed as James defended his faith at his trial. Later, the officer walked beside James to the place of execution. Overcome by conviction, he declared his new faith to the judge and knelt beside James to accept beheading as a Christian.
8. Bartholomew also known as Nathaniel, he was a missionary to Asia. He witnessed for our Lord in present day Turkey. Bartholomew was martyred for his preaching in Armenia where he was flayed to death by a whip.
9. Andrew He was crucified on an x-shaped cross in Patras, Greece. After being whipped severely by seven soldiers they tied his body to the cross with cords to prolong his agony. His followers reported that, when he was led toward the cross, Andrew saluted it in these words: ‘I have long desired and expected this happy hour. The cross has been consecrated by the body of Christ hanging on it.’ He continued to preach to his tormentors for two days until he expired.
10. Thomas was stabbed with a spear in India during one of his missionary trips to establish the church in the Sub-continent.
11. Jude was killed with arrows when he refused to deny his faith in Christ.
12. Matthias the apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot, was stoned and then beheaded.
13. Paul was tortured and then beheaded by the evil Emperor Nero at Rome in A.D. 67. Paul endured a lengthy imprisonment, which allowed him to write his many epistles to the churches he had formed throughout the Roman Empire. These letters, which taught many of the foundation doctrines of Christianity, form a large portion of the New Testament.
Jesus’ Death :The Death of Jesus at the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to death. at the time Crucifixion it was the”worst” kind of death criminals were condemned to be crucified. Yet it was even more dreadful for Jesus, unlike other criminals condemned to death by crucifixion Jesus was to be nailed to the Cross by His hands and feet. Each nail was 6 to 8 inches long. The nails were driven into His wrist not into His palms as is commonly portrayed. There’s a tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder.
The Roman guards knew that when the nails were being hammered into the Wrist that tendon would tear and break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support himself so that He could breathe. Both of His feet were nailed together. Thus, He was forced to support Himself on the single nail that impaled His feet to the cross. Jesus could not support himself with His legs because of the pain so He was forced to alternate between arching His back then using his legs just to continue to breath. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the suffering, the courage.
Jesus endured this reality for over 3 hours. Yes, over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of suffering? A few minutes before He died, Jesus stopped bleeding. He was simply pouring water From his wounds. From common images we see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound to His side… But do we realize His wounds were actually made in his body. A hammer driving large nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped and an even large nail hammered through the arches, then a Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But before the nails and the spear Jesus was whipped and beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that His face was torn and his beard ripped from His face. The Crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp. Most men would not have survived this torture. ” He had no more blood to bleed out, only water poured from His wounds. The human body contains about 3.5 liters (just less than a gallon) of blood. Jesus poured all 3.5 liters of his blood; He had three nails hammered into His members; a crown of thorns on His head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into His chest…All these without mentioning the humiliation He suffered after carrying His own cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part, where His hands were nailed). Jesus had to endure this experience, to open the Gates of Heaven, So that you can have free access to God. So that your sins could be “washed” away. All of them, with no exception! Don’t ignore this situation.JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU and as you.

10 Kinds Of Women
Women are meant to be valued, loved and appreciated just look at Jesus he is a lifter of women, while many religion’s tear them down and think of them as only the property of the man even in some christian churches they forbid them to be in the ministry or preach holding them down to ancient barbaric cultures that are not relevant either to life or to freedom.

10 Kinds of Women
1—The Soccer Mom: She is driven, she is typically into material things and into sports even if she doesn’t understand them, she likes the social life but rarely has the time for it, she raises kids works on a job in some cases has very little time for herself or spouse.
The problem is she has been programmed to think a certain way from her childhood through the school, the media, movies and her favorite programs on TV she can either be sweet and helpful or she can be selfish discontented and hard to get along with.
2—Women who seek to gain power over others by seduction, sex appeal and deception, they are called by some gold diggers they also find that it is easy to compromise values for money because they lack self motivation and personal responsibility they have placed outward vanity over true character.
3— Those who never grow up they are called by some cougars older women who seeks the younger man because it helps them feel more youthful and to have fun sexually or just younger companionship’s that still have some life, this many times is because they have had their emotional growth stunted either by sexual physical or mental abuse either from a previous spouse, parent or both.
4— The party girl she is tough she party’s hard works hard has a lot of good common sense except in some cases when it come to sex with the wrong ones or when she has too much to drink and makes bad decisions she love her country can be opinionated and would fight for what is right, most can’t stand religion they love their own they know God loves them sometimes they will be called a redneck party girl but not always the case.
5—Career minded independent woman she is too busy to have a family unless they are also independent she will spends hours in the office she micro manages relationships she needs to be in control she is performance driven, would love to settle down and have an intimate relationship but has trouble finding one that really works because her career is first.
6—The one who is co-dependent, jealous, clingy, she can easily become a nag especially when she feels anxious or insecure about her relationship she looks for someone else to hold on to and give her self esteem it is hard for her to ever really enjoy a healthy relationship because she self sabotages.
7—Women who are compassionate, humanitarian type, mercy oriented many live their lives hoping for the right companion to come along but often just live a single life or one with no children because they have a low tolerance for them, they may be artistic gifted people and they can be wonderful as long as they remain a free spirit if not they will feel trapped and it can turn to deep discontentment and depression.
8—Those who are born to be a wife and a mother starting from their baby dolls as a child they have cultivated the desire to nurture others they find contentment in serving their family they love and respect their husband’s and have no real desire to be seen for themselves as long as they know their husband loves them and the children honor them they have dignity, self worth and value far above material possessions.
9— The woman who loves God is a good mother works hard she desires to be loved for just who she is, life is hard for her, but she presses through she has went through some of if not all of the previous roles I mentioned, and has emerged to be a better person she is a pillar and a leader in waiting for the right situation and the right relationship.
10—The woman who hates men and believes that all men are the same they have been abused by men cheated on by men misunderstood and put down by men now they have become bitter and gender prejudice snake bitten in life, they will often become activist or seek ways to pay men back for what has happened to them.

Finding Someone Special
“Special”
“Surpassing what is common or usual; Exceptional:”
S—–Spiritually Compatible—-Fellowship and true intimacy is the craving of the soul, it comes from understanding and knowing that you are spiritually moving in the same direction.
P—–Physically Compatible—–You are not just spiritual beings there should be the physical attraction as well, and the desire to be presentable to the other.
E—–Educationally Compatible——Education many times determines our outlook on life if it will be a life of excellence or mediocrity.
C—–Communication and Caring—–Communication is more than just talking, it is coming to really know the other person, just as well as we know ourselves.
Communications is to learn how to speak the language of expressions, reasoning, feelings, culture and the principles of the other.
I——Identity——It is important that each person have their own identity this will keep us or them from becoming co-dependent, obsessive, or abusive.
A—–Affection—-1 : A moderate feeling or emotion 2 : tender attachment : passion, fondness: Affection— The breath of romance.
L——Love——-You need to really be in Love there needs to be the bonding and vulnerability that comes from being in Love this means serving, caring, respecting, believing in, and enjoying one another.
“When these come together it is called good chemistry and they can come together for married couples when the spouse becomes more than just the one they married they become that SPECIAL one.”
