Jesus, Jesus Christ, Jesus the Messiah, Emmanuel; who is he? The answers to this may heavily depend on who you ask, where they grew up, and what their religious background is. There are as many answers as there are people, even among those that claim Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior, there are many subtle and not so subtle nuances in the answers that are given. Because of this vast array of differences, it is important to try to understand the basics that run true for most Christians. p.…

Jesus is telling Nicodemus that He is the Messiah, the Christ that they have been eagerly waiting for. He is answering the question that Nicodemus came to ask. Nicodemus was a man who knew God’s word. He was a Pharisee. The Pharisees knew the Scriptures better than anyone. They prided themselves on their great knowledge of and their ability to keep the law. They were supposed to teach Israel and lead them to God, but they were prideful and saw themselves not as shepherds and servants, but…

Enlil that Utnapishtim got away all alone and after that Enlil stipends Utnapishtim the endowment of godlikeness. In the Genesis story, God orders Noah to leave the ark. Noah then gives god a penance. God makes the principal contract of the Hebrew Bible with Noah. At that point at long last, in both variants a sign is given to demonstrate that the divine beings/God won 't devastate the earth in a surge until kingdom come; a rainbow in Genesis and a jewelry in the Gilgamesh adaptation. At the…

John Calvin came up with covenant theology to cover the over all flow of the bible. The first time Covenant Theology was really used was in the 16th and 17th centuries by Ursinus, Olevianus and Cocceius. This theology was used mainly by the Reformed Churches and was it 's predominant theology around the 17th and 19th centuries. Covenant Theology is a system of theology that views God 's dealings with man in respect of covenants rather than dispensations (periods of time). It represents the whole…

their father, and went and followed Him (Holy Bible, NIV, 2016). We are not certain if John heard about Jesus ministry from verbal reports of John the Baptist’s teaching, or if he was drawn to the Lord by the influence of the Holy Spirit alone. Without a doubt, it was an act of courage to follow without questioning. And maybe some curiosity caused him to leave…

head can be seen tempting Simon, taunting the boy with the promise of having “fun” with him and foreshadowing the boy’s death. Simon nearly falls for this temptation, as he is taken over by the presence of the Lord of the Flies and passes out. In the Bible, it is said that Jesus had a confrontation with the Devil in a similar way. Satan tried to tempt Jesus into worshiping him, and the Lord of the Flies’s tactic to overpower Simon resembles much of the Devil’s failed attempt to defeat Jesus.…

Introduction From my experiences, Biblical worldview is simply viewing the aspects of the world from a biblical standpoint. When talking with people that has accepted Christ as their Savior, it is apparent that their perspective of the world automatically changes. The acceptance of Christ as a Savior is the first step, but one must gain an understanding of their salvation and receive guidance through God 's Word . The Lord gave His Word to equip us with the much needed instructions for…

In Psalms 133:1 it says “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!”(Bible Gateway). Not only is it right to care for others, but it even says it in the Bible to live in unity with people. So when looking at this characteristic we should not just see it as, it is the right thing to do, but see it as something God planned for us to do in honor of him. Throughout the Bible community is a relative theme (Jeff). We can first see community in the Trinity, God the Father,…

to the commissioning and task that is assigned by God. In this instance, the one who is called becomes an agent of God, while the promise (verses 7-8) of God to watch over God’s word also includes a sign from God. (verses 9-10) The Oxford Annotated Bible postulates “perhaps God’s word was the object,” while God’s purpose n Jeremiah’s life was twofold, that of judgement and restoration, which in both ways depicts God’s action and…

the world, Christians should be fighting harder and standing on the biblical truth that prayer changes things. We do not have to accept the ways of this world. This subject has a lit a fire in me to educate and teach more of principles in the Bible, so Christians know the power and authority God has given us over the enemy. Lastly, in week three we wrote on God’s character. This assignment gave me a better understanding of God’s characteristics, and the meaning of His characteristics.…
