The Word of God The First EPC or Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Kent, WA gave me a primary insight to the Christian religion. Growing up Jewish I never had many opportunities to experience a different religion other than day to day exposure. However, my next door neighbors whom I have grown up with my entire life are devout Christians. Being uninterested in religion as it is I never questioned them about their religion or went to their church in the past. Feeling like a complete outsider not…

In my ethnographic trip I headed to a Non-Denomination Hispanic Christian Church. They hold services every weekend so I specifically chose Sunday night to hear their message. I chose this church because I have a grandmother who attends here and I felt comfortable to have someone I knew guide me. My initial thoughts prior to visiting this church was the same as the other churches I had visited before. I expected to walk in and sit down with no one really paying much attention to me. I was also…

She was in charge of the food and clothing ministry which seemed to be almost a full-time task for her. Literally thousands of people in the church and the local community were ministered to by my mother, and I was a firsthand witness to many of those. I remember carrying sacks of groceries and clothes to homes all over the city and watching my mom pray and lead these needy people to the Lord. It was in my mother that I saw the hard and often unrecognized work of ministry, but again, it was…

believers The priesthood of all believers was an idea that was started by Martin Luther in the 16th century and appears in Luther’s The Pagan Servitude of the Church (L. 116-17). The priesthood of all believers was the community of all baptized Christians (ibid). This concept is significant, because it was extremely radical during this time as the Catholic Church separated the clergy from the laity. With Luther’s concept of the priesthood of all believers, the clergy were on the same level as…

There are many obstacles that holding the church back from being a helping hand in the care of creation. In an article called We Hug Trees for Jesus we find a number of issues that face the church today. First we see there is a problem with how “Christian Environmentalist” relay our Biblical responsibility to the earth. Second though they are passionate about the need to take care of the earth they can come across to strong trying to force others into believing what they say is true without…

Doctrine: What Christians Should Believe by Mark Driscoll and Gerry Breshears Chapter Summaries Chapter One: Trinity: God Is Humans seek unconditional love for ourselves and for others as well as to live in a perfect world. We are designed by God to need him and his perfect love. We are made to worship and love Him. God is one person, but He has three separate identities: not three separate beings. The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are all one who is known as God. Jesus is also God, but we…

How did Christian thinkers and missionaries adapt Greco-Roman ideas to Christian theology and develop effective techniques for converting barbarian peoples? Christian thinkers and missionaries adapted Christian principles to assimilate social and cultural norms of the time. Church teachings in the third and fourth centuries adapted ideas on gender roles and sexuality to conform to existing Roman values. Furthermore, missionaries seeking to spread Christianity beyond the Roman Empire did so by…

Christians trust and believe the principles of the Trinity Doctrine, nonetheless they place the highest focus on only two parts, God and Jesus Christ.

Churches teach the doctrine of the Godhead (God, Son, and Spirit), but mistakenly place highest emphasis on God and Jesus Christ. Churches give little instruction on the dynamics of the golden seal of the Holy Spirit. The…
