Adventures in Odyssey  and Focus on the Family Are Compromised An R-Rated Movie Is Subtly Promoted by Adventures in Odyssey? In the “Odyssey” cartoon video titled “ Escape from the Forbidden Matrix ,” an Arnold- Schwarzenegger-like character appears, fighting aliens. Aliens had been attacking  Dylan Taylor and Sal Martinez  in a jungle, in a virtual reality game. The Odyssey cartoon had scenes highly resembling scenes found in Schwarzenegger’s R-rated (1987) Predator movie, a Hollywood film about a group of people (headed by Schwarzenegger) who have to stop a deadly alien in a jungle.  (Information source: Wikipedia.)  The Odyssey cartoon, sadly, resembled the R-rated Hollywood film in many points. Schwarzenegger’s R-rated film showed violence, cussing, and gore.

Peter's Three (3) Denials of Christ and Three Boastful Statements in the Gospel Accounts ________________________________ Why the Accounts in Luke, John, Matthew, and Mark Differ on What Jesus and Peter Said When Peter Proclaimed His Loyalty to Christ When Simon Peter proclaimed his loyalty to Jesus just before Jesus Christ’s unjust trial, Peter actually proclaimed his loyalty three different times. Twice, he proclaimed his loyalty to Jesus prior to Jesus and His disciples leaving to go to the Mount of Olives (in John and Luke’s Gospel accounts). After they had left to go to the mount, Peter again proclaimed his loyalty to Christ (in Matthew and Mark’s Gospel accounts). The accounts in Matthew and Mark are nearly identical and happen after Jesus and His disciples go to the Mount of Olives. And, the accounts in Luke and John take place prior to Jesus Christ and His disciples going to the Mount of Olives.  The books of Luke and John differ because they
