An Ambassador for Christ is defined as a living representation of Christ. Thus, we act/ behave the way He did while He was here on Earth, by carrying out numerous acts of love and charity to the homes and hearts of His people.

Art can show how religion and gender can affect one another in many different ways. I selected the Christ and the Adulteress, located at the Getty Center. Which was painted in the 1620’s. This painting shows a mysterious woman being punished while men are listening to Jesus’ final judgement. I want to focus on how gender and religion were treated during the 17th century. This was a time period when women were labeled as adulterers, or being accused of practicing witchcraft. And were being…

“Set your affections on things above; love one another; commune at the table of our Lord in one spirit; worship in spirit and in truth; and if daily adoring, imploring, and living the divine Life, Truth, Love, thou shalt partake of the bread that cometh down from heaven, drink of the cup of salvation, and be baptized in Spirit,” wrote Mary Baker Eddy in 1898 (Christian Science Versus Pantheism). Mrs. Eddy (as she is colloquially referred to by her followers) was the woman who came to found the…

Tortured for Christ, written by Richard Wurmbrand, is a thought-provoking book on the persecution of Christians in Romania under Communism. Communism is based on materialistic, humanistic, secularistic, and atheistic views of life and history. Christianity affirms that God is the Creator and Sustainer, has infinite power and love, and views truth as absolute. Communism’s historical context, the book Tortured for Christ, and the ever-prevalent persecution of Christians all point to the fact…

known parable in the Gospel Bible is the parable of the lost coin) Parable of the Three Servants (Matthew 25:14-30) 2- Who was Christ speaking to? In the parable, which is speaking metaphorically, Christ (The man) was speaking to his servants. He taught his servants a lesson by giving them opportunities to prove they can follow his instructions. In reality, Christ does not have servants, that is because God created perfection. If God is perfection himself, his creations cannot be his…

“Evidence can be aligned to point in more than one direction” (Strobel 13). In The Case for Christ, Strobel investigates the Bible, and information included in the Bible, from the perspective of an open minded skeptic. By interviewing thirteen scholars about topics pertaining to their respective fields of study, he was able to compile an overwhelming amount of evidence that convinced him to convert. The first major topic Strobel investigates is the reliability of the gospels. He states that,…

Marx and Christ both talk about a perfect society where economic troubles were non-existent and everyone was equal. They both knew that humanity needed a society where everyone was equal and no one could claim dominance over the other. If everyone in society was equal, there would be no conflict between one another. Both sides also agreed that there was an evil power that needed to be destroyed. Once this evil power was destroyed, people could live in peace. Although this is the moral thought…

Chapter four –the holiness of Christ Bridges urge us to comprehend the righteous of Christ. We need to be grounded in Christ and imitate his life as an example of holiness. When we understand the righteousness of Christ we can dwell on it when the evil one comes to attack us. Holiness does not cling to a list of do’s and don’ts, but is firm mostly on don’ts. Christ’s holiness was not just the absence of actual sin, but a perfect conformity to the will of His Father. Jesus made it known He was…

profited from and rejoiced over Christ crucifixion are the ones who pierced him. Religious leaders (Hierarchy) were the vanguard for Christ crucifixion. Today they are still piercing Christ with their lies, lording over and fleeing of Christ body (The Church) why? The text tells us it was out of “envy” that the “chief priest” turned Jesus over to the police (Governor Pilate) (Mark 15: 10 and Matt. 27: 18) Also, the “rulers” and “The People” said Jesus “Misleads the people” (Luke 23: 14) and the…

The thoughts from Kwok is giving the readers to question themselves, her idea is putting out the portion of Jesus being Christ very thought provoking as she puts, her thoughts on how Jesus and Christ is unsettling could find from the synoptic gospels. From a comparison between Mark and Luke, in the book of Mark, Jesus seems very meek and lowly at the same time, local also Jewish. And from the book of Luke, Jesus is conqueror, living as dominant culture along with Hellenistic concept. The way it…
