God is the loving creator of the seen and unseen. According to their website, they also believe that Jesus is God in the flesh and that he lived a sinless life. He died on the cross for our sins, was buried and then rose and ascended into heaven. The Holy Spirit was sent to us by God and lives in all who believe in Jesus Christ; he teaches, comforts, convicts and guides us. He also cultivates Christ-like…
of communion between Holy and sinful. Jesus Christ had to die in order to reconcile this gap and create a bridge for man to know God again. While Jesus was on earth his mission was to reconnect us with God by fulfilling the Law. However Jesus was limited in doing the mission because His divinity was confined to a mortal body. He initiated the move to bring the reconciliation but it would ultimately be by the Holy Spirit that the original intimacy would be restored. The Holy Spirit is the…

I listened to the pastor’s reasoning and saw that he was sincere with his thoughts and I actually agree with him now.

being fully God and fully man. He boldly argues for it, responding to the Jews, Gentiles, and heretics of the day. What is not as overtly emphasized, but equally important, is the role of the Trinity. Indeed, this book shows that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one God, yet they each have important roles to play in the process of salvation. I consider the unity and diversity of the Trinity to be the great theological contribution of this book. Athanasius asserts the presence of the Trinity…
My Christianity experience began from birth. I was baptized and confirmed as a Catholic. I practiced that faith until God called my husband, who had been in Protestant ministry, to a higher position in his church. I switched to be the “Helpmeet” I felt God wanted me to be. There are many similarities in practices and beliefs in both faiths so it was not a hard transition. The author of our text book begins the chapter on Christianity by saying “Christianity is basically a historical…

constant presence of the Holy Spirit. The presence of the Holy Spirit is not limited to an external manifestation of exuberance or glossolalia as I experienced in the religious environments I grew up in (though I won’t dismiss the experience all-together as it embedded a healthy understanding of depending on the Holy Spirit which is still active in my life today).

(Acts chapter 10, verse 34). When it comes to the Holy Spirit, gender equality is guaranteed. The Holy Spirit treats everyone the same, He came for everyone. Joel chapter 2 verse 28 records, ‘… I will pour out My Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy ‘. There is no difference between sons and…
