One of the first mentions of King Arthur historically, is by Geoffrey of Monmouth, which describes him merely as a powerful warlord, that ended up uniting England tribes against oppresive invaders.  So historically, he merely had to prove his prowess on the battlefield to become king.\nHowever, in literature, for instance, in T.H. White's, Once and Future King, loosely based on the La Morte D'Arthur, Arthur is hidden away as the only succesor of Uther until he pulls the sword out of the stone.  This pulling of the sword out of the stone symbolizes his 'coming of age' or beginning of his 'hero quest'; (By 'hero quest' I mean something the protoganist must overcome, whether it be on the battlefield, succesffully fulfilling a given quest like killing a dragon, or gaining important information, knowledge, or skills, that will help him in fulfilling his destiny.

Hi, there was a time span between the Ascension of the Lord into heaven and the Roman murdering of the Christians in the coliseum so these Christians may not have seen Jesus directly, but how powerful was their faith in the Teaching of the Apostles to have gone so willingly to their death, and don`t forget that the Apostles willingly gave their lives too for Jesus and still modern people doubt the reality of the living Christ.

I know a story about an emperor who had a songbird that could sing beautifully.  One day he got a mechanical bird that could sing and became enamored with it and forgot about his real bird.  The bird was sad and flew away.  The mechanical bird broke and emperor became sad and realized how much he missed the real bird.  The real bird came and sang for him again.  It is a nice story.

Any body is not known for his / her personality or figure but by his / her characterstics. Aristotle, for instance, was very ugly but he had given directions to mankind. Just look others historical people too. Don't hate yourself. It is not your right. God has made people different because He Himself want to see the people like that. So believe the God and pray to Him for any desire, if you deserve you will get it. So love yourself and spread love to all. God Bless You.

26And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 27Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”\n28And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”\n29Jesus said to him, £“Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”  John 20:26-29\n\nWe are promised that if we seek Him we will find Him.  Search His word, pray for wisdom.  \n\nHe doesn't speak to us today as He did to the Patriarchs, but He speaks to us in every sunrise, every sunset, everything beautiful.

11Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. 12He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. 14Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. \n 18This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.  -Revelation 13:11-18

The part with the angels is very true. The ending will be as amazing as it says, but some parts such as the Beasts (The ones John saw come out of the water) represent different counties that are still here today. It is literal yet very symbolic. Pray to GOD for understanding and read it again sometime. It should then become very clear to you.

Yes, they were visible - the whole invisible spirits/beings thing came from somewhere else entirely. They usually came down to Earth in disguise, though.\n\naTTeDaWG - the question was about what they looked like on Mount Olympus, not when they came down here.

The best way to find out about the Man is to read what those who knew him or what those who knew him wrote.  It is found in the first 4 books of the New Testament--Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

The Bible does not say it was visible to the sheppards, only to the magi or astrologers from the east.  What was it could be hypothesized based on who it attracted and where it led them to.\n\nThe sheppards were invite, but the magi were astrologers who predicted the future based on the movement of the stars.  They went bearing gifts for the children of significant births, such as when Augustus Cesar was born.  \n\nIn studying the Jewish traditions, and seeing the Star, they followed it.  The Star appeared on the night of the birth of Christ, sometime in early fall, so they couldn't have arrived to find a babe in the manger, as mythology states.  All Bibles state that they found a boy in a house.\n\nIt should be noted that the star did not lead them first to Bethlehem, but to Jerusalem, where they met with King Herod, who desired to kill the Christ child.  It has always been funny to me that people say it led them to Bethlaham.  If it had, so many kids would not have been killed.  Herod's advisers told them to check Bethlehem.  The movement of the star led to the death of every first born child under the age of two, so the Star was not of God, but of Satan.  \n\nThere have been many theories about what the star was, but personally, I think it was Satan or one of the fallen angels, appearing in the sky.  Remember, Christ said they can appear as angels of light and this was a time before telescopes.  All they would have known was that it was a bright light in the sky.  There would have been no way to determine its size or distance from the planet.

You should read Enoch.  Satan/Lucifer was a seraphim angel.  There are many different types of angels, but seraphim were the highest order, cherubim were the next highest.  As you might have guessed, angels do not look at all like the beautiful paintings of cherubs you see.  Read Ezekiel to see what they really looked like, quite odd looking to say the least.  Satan got mad when God told the angels to bow to us humans, which kinda makes sense really, they were created first.  Anyway, that's why Satan and 1/3 of the angels fell, pride.  I'd quote you Enoch and Ezekiel, but am too lazy right now to look Ezekiel up and Enoch is so full of angels I wouldn't know where to start.

The Whole story is based on a land owner supposedly from Nottingham that was named Robert Hod. He became disillusioned with his family's way of life and went to live as a hermit in the wilds of the country side. There are accounts of a wild woodman attacking travellers on the local roads, which is ultimately where the tales come from. \n\nThis has always been attributed to Nottingham and Sherwood Forest, However a recent discovery about 2 miles outside Sheffield throws the whole story into a different direction. Remains of a primitive hovel were discovered and dated back to about 1120 AD and believe it or not Sheffield Council and Tourism Board are in the process of trying to prove outright that Robin Hod (Hood) was in fact a Yorkshire man who never went near Nottingham or Sherwood Forest.\n\nHope that helps a bit.\n\nRob

It was really Him.  Remember when He was resurrected, He showed Himself to His disciples.  In the Bible it records that Thomas even felt the marks from the crucifixion:\n\nJohn 20:27\n\n27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.\n\nIn addition, many many people who were living on the American continent after the resurrection of Christ felt the marks from the crucifixion.
