oral history of Luke and the other NT authors could be accurate. While I have an answer for all, I’m going to focus on a few that I believe are the most important to help clear up a basis for historical evidence before ever going into faith or Christianity as a theology. The two main arguments I’m going to respond to are the authors beliefs about the failings of human memory, capability and perception of oral tradition, as well as to try to help the author to distinguish between minor and major…

Scriptures Paper One of the many problems people have with the bible is that it is such an old book. So how does one decide if the scriptures it contains are accurate? What about the historical events that are mentioned? Are those historically accurate too, did things really happen the way it was written. This goes for any old book really, it’s hard to decipher between the literal and metaphorical. Throughout the decades as science has progressed many Christians find it hard to accept both the…

That a lot of people are angry with the natives for making a lot of religious claims on things that other people don’t see as a part of religion. We learned that laws are meant to be tested and if they aren’t how do we know they will work or where we need to set the bar. This also makes it unfair because they feel like there is not much rules to it so they disregard the clam. Along with that…

Baptism Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”-Acts 2:38. Baptisms date back to biblical times and were most significantly preformed in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. John preformed baptisms on many, including Jesus Christ himself. Baptisms are very intricate and holy ceremonies that are more than being submerged into water. A baptism is a religious…

Christianity has grown a rapid rate since its beginning with more than 2.2 billion followers in the world. Wars in the Middle East are still fought due to religion, causing friction and pain between innocent people belonging to different religions. The “Holy Land” of Jerusalem is a melting pot and impact zone of three religions Islamic, Judaism, and Christianity who all share the sacred ground. The impact of religion in shaping…

religion or an Eastern religion. Examples of religions from the West include Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; examples from the East include Hinduism, Buddhism, and Daoism. While “every religion is different … all religions share certain core values” (R. Steckel et al.). An interesting case is the comparison of Buddhism (an Eastern religion) and Christianity (a Western religion). Although Buddhism and Christianity share some common views on the problem of humanity, they have many more…
