Ancient traditions about the star patterns show that people from different parts of the world saw the same images, images which are not easy to recognize when one look at the stars themselves. Was this only a coincidence? Or is it a testimony of a common origine? The Bible tells us that God gave the stars their names. The documentary He Calls Them All by Names takes a closer look at the ancient names of the star patterns to find out what story they originally were meant to tell.

whyWhy Does God Allow Evil?
How can a good and almighty God allow evil to excist in this world?
The Bible tells us that God is love. But how, then, can He allow that people suffer from natural disasters, injustice, diseases and similar? Based on the book of Job and one of the stories from Israel's earliest days as a kingdom the film seeks to examine the following questions: - Does good things happen to good people and bad things to bad people? - Who is behind natural disasters, accidents, diseases, and other sufferings that are found in our world? - Why did not God annihilate Satan at once when he started his rebellion?

The one who usually is blamed is God – the God that the Bible describes as
"love".

PART 3: Why Did Not God Annihilate Satan at Once When He Rebelled?
According to the Bible, sin and suffering came into existence when Satan, one of the angels of the highest rank in Heaven, wanted to exalt himself to the same level as God. Since then there has been a battle between God and Satan, a battle between good and evil. After the fall in the Garden of Eden our earth became the most important field for this fight. But why does God allow Satan to continue the way he does?

Examine yourselvesExamine Yourselves
"Examine yourselves," Paul writes, "whether you be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know you not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except you be reprobates?" (2 Cor.13:5). How willing are we, as Christians, to follow this advice - to examine ourselves; to test our faith and our relationship with God. Are we afraid of what we might find? And do we know what to do with our findings?
