Genealogy of Jesus

people into Christianity by depicting that Jesus is the Messiah. In the Gospel of Matthew, the author argues that Jesus’ ability to manipulate life and death establishes Jesus’ identity as the Son of God. Through a series of miracles that involves healing the sick and disabled, the revival of the dead and of Jesus’ own resurrection, the author successfully proves his argument that Jesus is indeed a divine figure. Throughout the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus has shown his capability of producing…

understanding of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The story of Abraham helps reveal an important message about Jesus through Abraham’s covenant with God. The third part of the covenant, blessing those who bless Abraham, is worked out through Jesus showing the world that it is not just Jews that need his message, but everyone.

Throughout the years, the tradition of celebrating the birth of Jesus has always been on December 25th, or as many people know it, Christmas. Many people believe it to be the date that Jesus was born. It is also believed that he was born in a wonderful nativity scene surrounded by animals and loving people. However, many scholars believe December 25th may not be the date of his actual birth and he might not have been born in a manger. These ideas are because of the conflicting stories between…

our churches. God has called us to love all people no matter what. Bishop Roy Sano, who is part of the United Methodist Episcopacy, wrote an article for Ministry Matters about Jesus’ ministry on the earth. He gives many examples of how Jesus went beyond cultural boundaries. He also talks about how even in Jesus’ own genealogy there is a blending of Jews and Gentiles. “The Holy Spirit equipped the apostles to bring together the first multi-lingual, multi-cultural mega-church and blended this…

BOOK XX PRIESTHOOD – Jesus v Aaron Can we assess the relationship between the priesthoods of Jesus and Aaron? Sometimes Christians have compared both without realising that the Bible has not followed their assessment of both. Often people lock onto some OT expression about Aaron and then attempt to tie together Aaron’s priesthood and Jesus’ priesthood, without going to the only biblical source for Jesus’ priesthood. The following study is taken from the book of Hebrews, chapters 4, 5, 7, 8, 9…

Final Reflection This course has been interesting in offering new perspectives on the Bible, especially in the ways in which people’s interpretations of the Bible today are related to the ways and reasons why certain books of the Bible were written. It has also been interesting seeing how Western society and history is very much dependent upon the Bible, and entire eras of history are separated by the ways people began to think and interpret the Bible.

Allah says in the Quran that when he says for something to be it becomes and that is the example of Mary and her son Jesus. In this verse God also says that he will be a leader with courage, patience, and determination. Zachariah wanted…

Examples of this would be people like Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, Krishna, Joseph Smith, and others. The Buddha and Confucius would be a combination of a person figuring it out on their own and then codifying the results in written form. These people, or their followers, start a new religion and allow…
