Crucifixion of Jesus

justified and declared righteous through God. Ultimately we are justified because of the living heart of God who wants all to be with him. Our failure of not knowing how to follow the gospel or be justified is given a solution. The solution is that Jesus has already helped us through his sacrifice and through his death the debt of our sin has been paid but only because of Christ sacrifice not because of us. Paul wants all to understand that the law or circumcision does not define who is in God…

Cory: Mr. Unamuno, in your work you discuss how human life is tragic and that we face the fact we will die one day. You also mention that all life is precious and that we should fight death. You have stated that the goal is not to submerged in God, but rather to possess him, to be God and that we are only capable of conceiving a human God. It seems that in this sense God is created by us to pursue our own agenda that we achieve immortality and supersede death. This supports the idea that God is…

Jesus then scolded Peter and told him to allow the will of God to be done essentially. Burland then compares this to the silence of Roland. According to Burland, this mirrors Oliver…

A large part of what compiles the New Testament of the Bible is the recollection of the life and works of Jesus. This collection is commonly known as the Gospel. The Greek word “gospel” translates to “Good news”. What was considered to be such good news in these accounts?

Walter Brueggemann's “The Prophetic Imagination” is a rediscovery of modern Christian’s religious heritage that has been lost in today socially divisive culture. The heritage Bruggermann argues for is fixed in both liberal “social action” and conservative “future telling.” Both liberal and conservative groups embody one certain aspect of what it means to be prophetic, disregarding the balance of what it truly means to be a prophetic community in society. In opposition to the choices churches…
