Acts of the Apostles

If one dares ask a question that examines or critiques Trump, prepare to be attacked. This will only get worse as his ascendancy continues. However, if you laud Trump with praise, he will elevate you to a place of honor, exactly corresponding to Daniel 11:39. This is presently happening as people sell their soul and surrender their principles to join the Trump Train. Buddy up to him and he will treat you wonderfully. But challenge him at your own peril. The last part of the verse says, “he’ll…

For my project I decided to interview my mother’s Pastor. I chose to interview my mother’s pastor because even though I have attended services, I didn’t feel that the Pastor (s) are from my original tradition from when I grew up in Florida. Even though they practice the same religion I felt they were Catholic than Christian’s. To fulfill this project, I contacted my mother to see if she would feel comfortable me contacting her Pastor. After my mother agreed, I phoned her Pastor and asked for her…

Conclusively, “the Religion of Lust” became perpetrated by the fallen angels that descended to earth, duplicating their presence through Satan’s various advocates. Particularly, from the beginning, Azazel haunts the background of time, spreading its spiritual force. By following the extensive road of sexual perversion of the goat or horned gods through the numerous centuries, it gives people a kaleidoscope of wicked creatures to relate to a real visional Satan and its sexual possession and…

Introduction/Thesis The book of Romans, written by the apostle Paul, touches on many different ideas that are relevant to a Biblical worldview. This was written for the many Christians who were living under the reign of Nero, in Rome. Paul describes the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture in Romans 1-8, and after reading Romans 1-8 and gaining a basic understanding of these points I will briefly describe them and summarize what how these particular topics affect my…

Another area of divergence concerns the act of circumcision. It is clear that Jesus and Paul are Jews who are circumcised, yet throughout Paul’s epistles, he repeatedly and vehemently states that circumcision is not necessary. For example, in his first letter to Corinthians, he writes, “Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but obeying the commandments of God is everything. Let each of you remain in the condition in which you were called” (I Cor. 7:19-20). The significance of…

God’s leave” (3:49). Reviving or resurrecting the dead is explicitly stated as act of God as He alone can give life. The stories of Lazarus, the daughter of Jairus, and the son of the widow at Nain in the Bible provide three specific examples of when Jesus raised people from the dead. It is impossible to give what one does not posses, so Jesus proves that he has life and that he is a giver of life through these miraculous acts of resurrection by gifting the dead with…

Paul first came in contact with Corinth in Acts 18.1-17 after passing through Athens. Paul first wrote to Corinth, although this letter is not documented, in a sense of warning them of things not to fall into and bad character to avoid. In having trouble keeping Christ like standards Paul writes another letter in response, 1 Corinthians. The Church of Corinth was mostly converts of the surrounding area and who were also most likely heavily in the life of the usual Corinth. The Church itself…

As Apostle Paul is writing an exhortation to the Romans, his main objective is to restore the biblical foundations of the faith and establish the love of Christ that has imparted to all believers. Following what Paul has already laid clear, I would teach the book of Romans by hitting the main themes that Paul argues: the free gift of righteousness, by the love of grace, flowing through work of Christ, giving all men an escape from the reign of sin into the reign of grace, which gives men the…

chosen to analyse are, Symbols, Sacred texts and how they are interpreted, the contribution to society, Attitudes to religion and Leadership structures. Symbols Symbolism is an important concept in every Religion, Culture and Social Structure. Symbols act as ‘badges of faith’, people believe that they point a way through the spiritual work and that with prayer and faith they can become closer, spiritually, to a ‘higher power’. Symbols are used to reflect the seven sacraments in Catholicism and…
