1. Martin Luther was a German monk and a teacher of theology. He was troubled about the possibility of not going to heaven. He led a very strict life, but was more worried about committing sin. Luther read the writings of early Christian theologians, including St. Augustine, and the Bible. He then created a theory of truth only faith not good deeds could bring person redemption and that no good works, rituals, etc. would save a person if they did not believe. 2. He believed that only faith could…

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. The doctrine of the Trinity is a fundamental element of the gospel it is not claimed that the refinements of theological speculations upon this…

Views on Heaven and Hell According to Christian theology, multiple views of heaven and hell have been explored. Some suggest a metaphorical approach, as others present a more literal perspective of what the Bible says. It is very clear throughout Scripture that there are exclusively two destinations dependent on our faith in God. Knowledge regarding what comes after our earthly lives is essential, so we will be more capable to share with others. God has a well thought out plan for our eternity…

How has the Christian tradition treated the notion of the two natures of Christ (human and divine)? In the Christian tradition there have been many opinions and notions about the two natures of Christ. Even the disciples had differing thoughts on Christ’s identity. Let’s first look in scripture, in Hebrews 2:14-18 it says, “Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death that is, the…

A real page turner, Dr. Anderson’s book What’s your world view? narrows down exactly what world view is in your heart. Unsurprisingly, I have a strong Christian world view. Growing up in the Church and a strong Christian home will do that to you. At its core, Christianity seems so simple; the belief that; Jesus is in fact the son of God (a God who is perfect, perfect and communicates openly with us) would seem universal. The list of assumptions, it creates, however, begins to grow much larger. I…

persuasion to influence his constituents. Edwards on the other hand uses more of a fire and brimstone tone to reach his constituents. Both sermons are meant to help motivate and keep god in the lives of the early settlers. In Winthrop’s “A Model of Christian Charity,’ this sermon was given by Winthrop to the puritans on their way to the new world. He was trying to ensure that God, love and kindness help them to overcome the challenges they are about to face. “Now the only way to avoid this…

I see the world as a Russian Christian. I gained almost all this worldview from my family and my personal experience. Ever since I was a little boy my parents took me to church and taught me all about Christianity. Also, I was raised Russian and because of that see the world differently that an American. My personal experiences showed the truth to a lot of things. I believe that the Bible is the main source of truth. I believe in God the Father, creator of heaven and earth, I believe in Jesus…

Service Network. Global Service Network partners with like-minded servants of Christ within campus ministries, churches, cross-cultural missionaries, Christian professionals, Seminaries, and…

There is a strong Judeo-Christian principle of ‘love your enemy’. Not sure why God wanted to teach “His people” to do such a thing, but that question is redundant to the faithful. He is God and I am not. American values have often imitated the Judeo-Christian heritage that formed most, the majority, of the founding fathers and mother’s beliefs in the 18th century. As the civilization worked through this process it had to sometimes kill the enemy before they could historically love them…

the letter to the Romans. Based on the epistle, some ideas were obviously of great importance to Paul which he felt he needed to explain before his arrival. The resulting letter persists as the plainest and extremely well-organized presentation of Christian doctrine in Scripture. Paul begins by reminding his readers about the sinfulness of humanity. Since humanity rebels against him, God condemns all people. However, God in His grace offers justification by faith in His Son, Jesus. Once…
