The Avacado

August 25th, 2008 § 0

A question arose here at work, can you grow an avocado here in the north. Well the short answer is yes, and the site http://faq.gardenweb.com/faq/lists/seed/2002114535011263.html tells you how.

Here’s some interesting nutritional facts about avocados:

  • Avocados contain just 5 grams of fat per serving.
  • Avocados contain NO cholesterol and NO sodium.
  • Avocados contain 60% more potassium per ounce than bananas!
  • Avocados are high in fiber, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, potassium and folate.

anyways – enjoy the day!

Did Jesus go to hell?

July 8th, 2008 § 13

One of the my close friends asked me this the other day in church, and I stopped dead in my tracks. I had actually never thought about it before.

I had always assumed yes. And based off of some church doctrine, such as the Apostles Creed (not sure on this one either, but that’s what was referred to as in our conversation as containing the source where it’s stated that Jesus went to hell), I’ve just thought that Jesus did go to hell when he died on the cross, and then was victorious over hell on the third day.

But before just spouting off the answer yes, i thought to myself, what verse in the Bible says that Jesus went to hell when he died on the cross.

So, i did a check in my Bible, and there were quite a few scriptures that talked about hell, but none of them stated that Jesus went to hell.

Comments, questions & thoughts are welcome on this one – if you have a verse that refers to this subject, please put it in your comments or email me.
