Ascension of Jesus

When a mysterious stranger walks in one Christmas at Camelot, he challenges any knight grant him a game and prove the valor of King Arthurs court. The Green knight sets a standard of bravery and honor just as Christ calls people to a higher state of existence. In both life and Gawain’s quest the "challengers or teachers" appear unrecognized to test the integrity of people who profess to live according to the higher standard. In the end of life Christ comes openly to judge every person, when…

our very existence and purpose; creation, fall, redemption. God is the creator, the author, and the perfector. We have sinned and fallen short of Gods glory and righteousness. He sent his only son, in human form, to die on the cross for our sins. Jesus Christ is our savior because…

The Nature of God and the Trinity begins for the human race with the being of creation. For Christians this starts with the Bible chapter of Genesis. Many people in this world though do not know or understand the concept of God and his nature and cannot see how God becomes three different entities all in one; The Father, The Son, and Holy Spirit making the trinity. In theory by reading the word of God, one can begin to understand the application in the nature of God. However, still may not begin…

Last, this autobiography of Margery Kempe tells a lot to the reader concerning her personality. One can notice that she was a very engaged and passionate person. Her family background denotes the environment in which she grew up and the figures she kept as role model. She was proud of father, which she did not miss to mention many times in her book. Comparatively to her father, she did say anything about her mother. This could be explained by the fact that women at that period of time were not…

I have a good understanding about Christian preaching, I recognize now how some preachers leave out Jesus Christ in…

compelling arguments he makes many illogical fallacies within his speech. Russell begins his lecture on first his idea of what a Christian actually is. Russell believes that in order to be a Christian, one must believe in God, immortality, and in Jesus Christ. However, he does not think that a Christian has to believe in Hell. He also tells us that he himself has no belief in any of the things that he believes makes one a Christian. After clarifying his stance on Christianity, Russell moves…

created by Him in His image. Are humans more important than animals? As humans, we are superior to animals, in fact, “claiming that animals are the same as people only ends up devaluing human life” (Gaylord). A few examples of this is the fact that Jesus died for people and for their sins, not for animals. In Genesis 1 God gave domain to man over all the animals and he was to give them a name. Finally, Matthew 10:31 says that we, “are more valuable than many…

Describe: Stained glass windows are colored glass crafted and arranged to form patterns or pictures and often have painted details and a yellow stain. Stained glass windows are a traditional form of painting that began over 1000 years ago and are essentially made the same way today.

They are especially…

faith in nothing. It was then I began to drown and couldn’t breathe. The battle to save my life began in those same icy and wavy waters crying out for help; crying out for a savior. When I was at my weakest moment crippled by the pains of my life, Jesus was standing on the waters holding his hand. “Matthew, take my hand. Do not be afraid.” I reached out, and I took his hand never letting go. Embraced in his arms, I let my emotions run free. Hope was there for me that day. Christ made my faith…

The first person that I chose to present my story to was my mother, Jan. I chose her because of the insight that she gives on the Bible and on life, and because of her continual faith in God through everything that she has been through, whether it’s hard or easy. I really look up to her in the way that she deals with hard times. She always chooses to believe that everything will be okay in the end, and that God has a plan for it all. I thought it would be perfect to tell her about this and ask…
