The Bible teaches Christians the word of God and how it helped to shape Christianity. It not only tells stories from which we can learn from, but it gives an outline of who God is and about His character. It tells of Jesus and his work for humanity. About Christian faith and the role of the church. The bible is more than a tool for pastors and the faithful, it is a guide on how to live your life as a Christian,but more importantly, how to be a better human being. The Bible starts with…

Throughout his article “Rethinking Fundamental Theology”, O’Collins provides an analysis of the ideas surrounding the legitimacy of the revelation surrounding Jesus’ resurrection. O’Collins’ primary argument is that in order to believe in God, we must also believe in those who personally bore witness to his divinity. O’Collins goes on to outline three positions academics take with regards to the legitimacy of the resurrection. These include: (1) faith without reason, (2) faith based on evidence…

Throughout the years, Christianity has spread and it’s estimated that there’s 2.2 billion Christians in the world today. A religion that many thought would never grow to be so prominent, yet it has affected and has been part of society for so long. But how did this all began and who were the main responsible for this.

prayer life. As his close followers, they have the ability and insight to understand that prayer is the most crucial aspect of Jesus’ rule and reign here on earth, more so than his ability to perform miracles or speak eloquently in parables.

As Jesus provides them with the guidance they request, he gives them an outline to follow—he is not saying that they must pray for the exact things…

Introduction I will argue that Keith Johnson’s defense against a periochoretic reflection of the Holy Trinity reflects an incomplete ecclesiology because it presupposes an individualized perspective on faith, based on the communal nature of the Church, in light of Miraslov Volf’s interpretation of the periochoresis of the Trinity being reflected in the Church. Periochoresis Individualistic Faith The biblical understanding of “unity in faith” within the church is fighting a battle with an…

The time of the end of the age of man spans from the book of Genesis in the Old Testament to the book of Revelation, which is the last book of the New Testament. Most people only consider the books of Daniel and Revelation as apocalyptic discernment to a future period known as the Great Tribulation. To fully understand where we are in the prophetic structure of the time that was allotted to the age of man, you must go back to the very beginning. You must look deep into the Scriptures for…

The Gospel of Mark contains Jesus’ teachings that equips Christians of today with insight into the hidden nature of the Kingdom of God that can greatly inspire and influence them into taking the steps necessary to secure a future in the Kingdom of God. A popular quote from the parable (although not in the Gospel of Mark) of the wedding “ Many are called, few are chosen.” (Matthew 22:14 (NAB)), certainly applies to the Kingdom of God and is still very relevant to Christians of today. In fact,…

In order to illustrate McMurphy’s tragic, impending downfall from his role as the ward’s flawed yet benevolent savior, Ken Kesey depicts McMurphy’s actions through a multitude of Biblical allusions, specifically, to the life and death of Jesus Christ. By doing so, Kesey further implicates that the mental hospital and other institutions are inherently misguided and at times, villainous. Throughout the novel, McMurphy performs a series of miracles, which involve healing the patients by making them…
