differences and similarities between the Christology of Jehovah Witnesses and the Orthodox Church. They are many things that are different but also similar between the two.

just that man, but He was also the son of God and when He ascended to heaven He became one with the Father and the Holy Spirit. This Christology compares with the Nicene orthodoxy in that there is belief in one God, who made everything, and the belief in one Jesus. It also compares with Jesus being the only-begotten Son of God and Jesus’ crucifixion. This Christology contrasts with the Nicene Creed in that we do not believe in only one baptism, because Jesus died for our sins baptism is not…

The Synoptic Gospels The New Testament is composed of four Gospels written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke are known as the Synoptic Gospels because they all contain either similar or identical stories from Jesus’ life. Synoptic means that they can be read together “with one eye” (Harris 117). All the connections and similarities between the Synoptic Gospels had created an issue for scholars that they referred to as the Synoptic Problem. In order to solve…

Matthew was one of the most focused on Jewish issues; however, it also shows wider concerns tied to Christology, community discipleship, and mission. The key themes were a royal messianic, which is the understanding of Jesus. Also, a desire for practical righteousness, and the mystery of Gods promise. Matthew is the only Gospel that speaks directly to…

This volume is addressing the Christology of incarnation and the power of Jesus’s resurrection and the relationship of Jesus and God and man. Wolfhart Pannenberg here looks and analyses the contrasting theories between the Alexandrian fusion of Jesus with God and Antiochene separation between Jesus and God. He demonstrate that neither side was able to express and justify the unity or duality of Christ. Theological ideas at stake Pannenberg says “The teaching about Jesus Christ lies at the…

teaching wisdom is necessary that is, true wisdom. Wisdom is linked to the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of wisdom and of understanding. We know proverbs as the book of wisdom and Paul is known to us as one of the wisest apostles. Paul’s wisdom is linked to Christology as James presents us with…

Colossians may be one of Paul’s shorter letters, but that does not mean that it does it is lacking in validity to every Christians life. Colossians is a book that tackles how to deal with false teachings, heresy, and the supremacy of Christ, among other things.
