were concerned that the gods were angry with them because they were too lenient on the atheists who were, in this case, Christians (104). Seventy years after John wrote Revelation, the community had shifted from an “age of prophecy” to an “age of apostles” (107). Those who identified themselves as prophets and supported prophets viewed John of Patmos’s Book of Revelation as one of the central components of their preaching. Specifically, Justin the Philosopher, who was one of the first to…

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…

YOUR CHILD IS IN DANGER! ....Save our kids from all of the violence that they see in the movies, TV shows and especially in the video games that they love playing.

A faith that cannot be tested cannot be trusted. Although I am not a Christian, I could most definitely connect to the Christian faith and the way that they express it. Unlike many…

This theme emerges repeatedly throughout the novel Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher and Gabriele Mucciano’s film Seven Pounds.

Before Paul’s salvation, he was known as a great persecutor of the Christians the evidence of this would be in Acts 7:58, Acts 8:1, Acts 9:1-2, and Philippians 3:5-6 all of this scripture furthers the truth that Paul was known for being a persecutor of Christians at this time in his life. His salvation came at the Damascus Road in Acts 9 where his name changed from Saul to…

Therefore it would make logical sense, considering the mass conversion to Christianity that followed the emperor Constantine much later than the documentation here, that Christian views and beliefs shaped an extremely large amount of the modern concepts that exist in the world today.
