It is the idea “firmly embodied at the heart of the Protestant revolution that all Christians have the right to interpret the Bible for themselves.” This “idea” enabled the scholars and thinkers to do an in-depth examination of the doctrines and teachings of the Roman Catholic Church in the light of Scripture. McGrath brings to light in his study the shortcomings of the teachings of Catholicism and the abuses of the clergy hierarchy which brought about the need for change. This dangerous idea…

There are many controversies regarding the theology in the bible, and different groups and cultures view them and use them as they believe is the correct way. Since we have no time machines or original transcripts, we can only use the text itself to derive clues as to what the author meant. One of the longer standing controversies is the Calvinist-Arminian debate which arose in the 16th century. The debate which argues about the nature of God and whether he decides the future of every individual…

How Misinterpretation of the Bible Helped the Justification of the Crusades. The Crusades were a series of expeditions undertaken by Christian holy men in the hopes of delivering holy places from Islamic tyranny (Douglas J. Potter). The popes felt that Europe should be under Christian unity, and the pressure that they felt from the Byzantine Empire threatened said unity, so they decided to send troops of men to free the land of the Byzantine Empire once again for the Christians. One would think…

relationship with them. Third using scare tactics like global warming in order to prove their theory or theories in order to get the attention of the people, thus impacting both the spread of the gospel and misleading others in the hermeneutics of the Bible. It’s is my opinion that the way environmentalist (both professional, and non-professional) go about using scripture to prove their case is wrong. First you cannot take a passage like Romans 1:20 which says: “For since the…

Introduction There is a constant theme of the presence of God in the Old Testament in which God attempts to show His people (the Israelites) His law and how to live by them. Idolatry, one of the largest problems amongst the Israelites in the old testament and many of the letters of Paul to the churches in the new testament are proof that this is an ongoing issue Them Exodus is the second book of the Old Testament through which God’s fulfilment of promises to past generations are communicated…

The Bible doesn 't actually say "we are to live 'heaven to earth '". There is no literal verse in the Bible explicitly stating that. We know there are topics in the Bible that are not explicitly mentioned (i.e. the Holy Trinity). For example, the Trinity is not a term that can be found in the Bible, but it can be proved with other verses that speak specifically to the fact that God the Father, Jesus…

Doctrine: What Christians Should Believe by Mark Driscoll and Gerry Breshears Chapter Summaries Chapter One: Trinity: God Is Humans seek unconditional love for ourselves and for others as well as to live in a perfect world. We are designed by God to need him and his perfect love. We are made to worship and love Him. God is one person, but He has three separate identities: not three separate beings. The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are all one who is known as God. Jesus is also God, but we…

Word Count: 89 God reveals the Christian worldview in the Bible, which is an outline for Christians to follow. As Christians, we believe that God is the creator of all things. Genesis 1:1 tells us “God created the Heavens and the Earth.” This belief is an example of a theistic belief, believing that something was created from nothing (Gutierrez, 65), which is what the Bible teaches us. There are many instances in the Bible, where God is referred to as creator and Lord. For example, David…

majority of everyday Christians accepts these teachings as yours and faced with mixed emotions in regards to your teachings. The lack of continuity in pieces like the latter, further complicates the already misunderstood and misinterpreted Christian Bible, especially in western society. Incoherence in writings…

so maybe all those that are believers in God should stay and just do as they were instructed by Jesus to love and serve others as He showed them by His example and His love, but always keeping their hearts and minds on God and things above. The bible is pretty clear about Christians seeking the kingdom of God first, and to walk by faith not by sight. There are many scriptures that discuss God 's grace which was shown by Jesus laying down His own life for His friends, so that the sins of this…
