    Podmore (2009) explains how Kierkegaard’s struggle with despair reveals a profound psychological of understanding sin. He then goes on to establish how Kierkegaard’s equally insightful theological understanding of grace, answers Kierkegaard’s existential struggle with despair. Only when one is laid bare before God, hiding no part of the self or the horror of its sin, can one receive forgiveness and (self-) acceptance before God. This forgiveness and acceptance nourishes and heals the brokenness that sin produces in our souls (Podmore, 2009, p.…

God’s work in his followers is a divine divine undertaking in which man becomes more like Christ and less like the world. The procedural nature of sanctification is exemplified in the journey of Spenser’s…

    4.1 The Replacement Theory and the Anti-Semitism All of the interpreters, whom I examine in this article (with the exception of the last), regarded the first invited guests as the Jewish nation and the second invited guests as Gentiles. They all believed that the destruction of the city of the first guests represents the devastation of Jerusalem, which is God’s judgment on Jews. Chrysostom asserted that God foreknows the Jews’ refusals of Christ. He first sent his prophets and Christ to them in order to stop their mouths. Now they have no excuse to blame God for the expulsion.…

    I think Senkbeil makes a good point in saying that; although, baptism may cleanse of our sins it doesn’t give us a free pass to do whatever we want and sin. I feel like today many Christians may do things that they know are wrong or sinful but feel that if they just pray that they will be forgiven everything will be forgotten, but that isn’t how it works. We constantly have a struggle with our “inner Adam” and may be drawn to sin, but as a Christian we should try to do good. However, with that said that isn’t always the case. Another good point that Senkbeil makes is that simply confessing our wrong doings to a friend or praying at night isn’t enough for God to truly except our sins.…

    Indulgences are one of the most controversial traditions in the Catholic Church. They have impacted the Church for hundreds of years and were a major factor in the Protestant schism within Christianity. Indulgences have had positive results but are often abused. The Church’s Confession of Faith (CCF) is a reliable source for a detailed explanation of what indulgences are and how they work, but fails to capture the importance of indulgences in a historical context and their impact on Christianity. CCF begins the analysis of indulgences by describing what an indulgence is and the underlying preconditions for it to be received.…
