John 6:1-14 serves as a “reminiscent of the miraculous feeding through Moses” during the wandering in the wilderness “following their exodus from Egypt and preceding their entrance into the promised land” (Exodus 16:4-36), events commemorated by the Passover feast (Heil, 53). In John 6:1-14, Jesus feeds a crowd of about five thousand (6:10) with the overabundance of bread and fish (6:5-13) when the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near (6:4). All the events of John 6 are placed in a Passover…

The short cartoon in the middle of the film addresses many misconceptions that Christians may have regarding LGBT Americans. Looking from a scientific perspective, genes do play a role in determining sexuality based off popular studies. When we have information and truths that involve real “science”, it is harder to argue.…

A group of prophets came down (note the term, came down) from Jerusalem. Prophets had the gift of foretelling. The apostles and prophets played an important role in the early life of the church as they laid its foundation as seen in Ephesians 2:20. Speaking of the church Paul says, “having been…

“translation” of the believer before the tribulation. Jesus will come down from heaven and call up the church. He will then return to His Father’s house, heaven. According to scripture, the rapture will take place prior to the tribulation period, although, the term rapture is not used in scriptural proof.

Mike Svigel. In his book Retro-Christianity identified seven core Christian orthodoxy by which evangelicals should be identified. One of them is the doctrine of the Trinity. Trinity doctrine is about believing the triune Godhead God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Understandably so, the Trinity is the foundation of Christian faith.

landscape. Wacker grew up a Pentecostal attending church one or twice a week in a family filled with ministers and missionaries. When he entered a secular college, his religious beliefs were challenged and he now identifies himself as an Evangelical Christian finding his congenial abode in a United Methodist Church.

Answer – Guder claims that there is a crisis within the North America church; however, I would have to disagree with his term ‘crisis.’ In as much as the evidence is true and there are clear symptoms, such as dwindling numbers, lack of biblical understanding, confusion and division within the church of North America, I believe this is a gift (Barrett 2). Jesus is clearing out the remnants of ‘Christendom,’ which has highjacked the true mission of the church. For too long, the church of North…

“A Christian reveals true humility by showing the gentleness of Christ, by being always ready to help others, by speaking kind words and performing unselfish acts, which elevate and ennoble the most sacred message that has come to our world.” This is a quote taken from one of the founders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Ellen G.

They are known as being mainly innocent, with little to no knowledge on being able to sin against God and his word.

Now, certes, I wol do…
