First Epistle of Peter

In this passage Luke summarizes the beginning of Jesus’ ministry, including his teaching, miraculous deeds, and calling of his first disciples. Jesus declares that the time has come for God’s promises to be fulfilled. The hopes revealed in the Old Testament start becoming true through his life and ministry. Luke emphasizes that Jesus is Messiah, who is sent by God the Father to proclaim and demonstrate the Good News. We see that not everyone is open to this, as Jesus meets some opposition…

He then brought his Peter to Jesus as said in John 1:40-42 when it states “One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first…

Gospel because He would have done this because it portrays different incidences as one thereby skewing the intended learning. He would have also edited Mark’s writing because it was largely a recording of the preaching of Peter and because he was not an eyewitness of Jesus.…

Martin Luther wrote the Freedom of a Christian in 1520. This work expressed the heart and soul of Luther’s treatise on Christian liberty in which he sets forth the essence of Christian faith and life. One of the main points in this treatise is Luther’s attempt to distinguish the different parts of the human person. His theory rests on the belief that everyone is made up of two parts; the inner spiritual person and the outer bodily person. Luther shows how the inner soul of a person is…

Christianity is the hallmark through which European colonialism and imperialism prospered over the African race for nearly 700 years. People of African origin throughout the world continue to suffer the consequences of colonialism and the precedence the makers and shakers of that period established.

it is said: “Long time abode they, speaking boldly in the Lord, who gave testimony unto the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands” (Acts 14:3). And Paul in the Epistle to the Hebrews, writes (2:3-4: “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them who heard; God also bearing witness to it with signs and wonders and with various miracles” The signs, wonders, and miracles …

Paul identifies this as "the power of his resurrection" (Philippians. 3:10). It is a power which all true believers possess which enables them, if they choose to count on it, to do "all things through Christ who strengthens" (Philippians. 4:13). Thus any failure to live a godly life is due to our weakness or folly and not to…

deny this. However, they will say that because God hates homosexuals (this is NOT the case, as I have been tirelessly expounding. This is simply what many believe), denouncing homosexuality, and showing hateful contempt for homosexuals fulfills the first and greatest commandment, to show love for God. Can God hate? Is it possible for God to love some more than others, or to love…

common language spoken across Europe was Latin. Vulgate was the name for translating the Bible into Latin. This translation into Latin occurred in 385-405 AD by Jerome, which was the last translation for almost 1000 years. This was considered to be the first full Bible of the Church from the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts. A Benediction Monk and historian of Anglo-Saxon in 730 AD, of England re-wrought the Vulgate into Old English. Another English priest John Wycliffe, wanted to make the…
