The introduction of Christianity into the Roman Empire was not formidable. Tens of thousands of Christians were severely persecuted, imprisoned, and martyred in what can be viewed as a religion-fueled genocide in Ancient Rome. Eventually, as Empire grew to accept and welcome Christians, the religion spread like wildfire. It is widely accepted that the establishment and prosperity of Christianity in the western world helped to slow the inevitable fall of the Roman Empire. The impact that…

The Bible has always been a facinating amongs people, and face some crititisms from some who belived it to be inaccurate. The Bible has been questioned by many scholars in the field of biblical criticism. Critics always questioned the authenticity of its content, its roots and the credibility of q the authors. After watching all these videosI think the Bible should be accepted as historically accurate and as a reliable guide to morality . It was interesting to learned these fascinating fact…

This essay will demonstrate that the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is historically accurate. In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul states the “first importance” in Christianity is that Christ died for our sins, He was buried, He rose on the third day, and He appeared to 500+ people after his resurrection. If these things did not happen then Christianity would be false. The resurrection of Jesus is historically accurate and has proofs that back it up. This will be demonstrated by science,…

In the American church faithful ministry has been traded for models more akin to modern business than biblical ministry. The desire for a more authentic expression of Christian faith has resulted in an overflow of passion to see the American church change. Consequently, a call has sounded for a return to a more faithful approach to ministry that rejects trendy models to follow the example of Christ Jesus. This call has become a ministry movement known as missional ministry. Missional ministry…

“The Envious die not once, but as oft as the envied win applause.” The most egregious emotion that proceeds from limited good is envy (φθόνον) In the New Testament it occurs a total of nine times. It occurs four times in the Pauline epistles. Paul uses the term to refer to those who are walking after the flesh (First Cor. 3:3), those who will not inherit the kingdom of God (Gal. 5:21) and in reference to false teachers and believers. What is envy? Classical rhetoricians and philosophers…

“Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed,” James says in his epistle (James 5:16, NKJV). Andrew Peterson does these things in this song; he confesses that “the fault is mine,” and says he prays for their friendship to rebuild. Because of this, he can hope his and his friend 's future together will turn out better.…

The Christian life is filled with concerns and no place is more evident to find these than in the pastoral responsibilities God has entrusted to the leadership of the church. Satan has been working against the church from and early time causing this concerns to rise, but looking at the views Paul 's warnings in (2 Timothy 3) about the increase of apostasy in the last days and what we are witnessing today in the church, Paul 's instructions in (Him 1:3-7 are very significant. These instructions…

Bibliology: A Brief Statement The Bible, in its sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the written Word of God. It is a holy construction of dual-authorship, consisting both of God’s sovereign influence and man’s directed inscription. There is nothing false or misleading within its pages—whether actual words, intended meaning, or the practices appropriately adapted from it; the Bible is entirely true, wholly helpful, and completely incapable of wrong. As God’s written revelation of…

I was born on November 10, 1483 in Eisleben, Germany, to Hans and Margaretta Luther. My father saw a somewhat successful miner, and he wanted me to have a better life than him, so at early on I was enrolled in school. When I turned thirteen I moved to Magdeburg to continue my studies to become a lawyer. In 1498 I was transferred again to Eisenach where studied grammar, rhetoric, and logic. In 1501 I enrolled in the University of Erfurt, the best university in Germany at the time. I attained a…

The Foundation of the Canon Almost 1,982 years ago Joshua (whose name means Yahweh is salvation ) was crucified. Since that time a substantial amount of writings both, canonical and non-canonical were written about Him and His teachings. I learned in the past that there are certain qualifications that have to be passed in order for a writing to be considered canon and placed in the New Testament of the bible, however when looking back through history I see something quite different has…
