Rxxxx Nxxx Sxxxxxxxxx says Christopher Columbus was actually a Sephardic Jew, as was his men who went with him across the ocean to America.  He lived during the time of the Spanish Inquisition, when many Sephardic Jews were ordered to convert to Catholicism -- or die.  In fact, we have some people in our Congregation here at Axxx Hxxxxxxx Txxxx who are descended from Sephardic Jews. --  Sheila H.
 
Sheila, Thank you and this may be correct, but there is no evidence from that era nor any of the following 500 years until speculation began approximately 150 years ago in British and American writings. These writers offer no source of the information.
 
I would like to learn that I am wrong about this. If anyone knows what source from the 1492 era describes Christopher Columbus as a Sephardic Jew, please advise me.
 
I was a professional artist for the newspaper in Columbus, Ohio, and I think actual life portraits of Christopher look as if he were of Jewish ancestry. Many, many Italians still look Jewish today and probably are. Jews scattered out in all directions from Rome to avoid being murdered. That is the only solid information I know of.

Miracles: 3 at Same Instant  #539

I have held this report for a year to be sure of the healings. They happened last October of 2006. They happened to me. Soon after the miracles, I began collecting copies of medical reports and films to document the miracles.

I asked my own pastors for appointments to which they each replied that they believed me. I insisted that they see the documentation so they could forever tell other people they had seen the medical proof of the three miracles.

A series of miracles before last October healed one problem each time. I had many problems. Death Of Body (DOB, not NDE) causes much damage to all parts of head and body as cells everywhere die rapidly. I prayed for my worst problem until it was suddenly healed, then my next problem, etc and kept having miracle healings.

I became bolder and prayed for my three worst remaining problems together. Every time I prayed I asked for all three to be healed. They were all three healed suddenly at a Wednesday evening church service prayer by several people. Please note that these were people who know what The Bible teaches about how to pray.

People want to know details of the three miracles and I will report these in another message. The point to this message is that someone (me, but please don't focus on me when you tell this to other people because it is about JESUS, not Joe) had three medical problems which existed for seven years and were healed instantly and there is medical documentation as proof. I take these with me when I teach at churches and colleges.

Remember always that miracles are not primarily for us, but to bring glory to JESUS and Father YAHWEH.
