Gnostic Gospels

the prologue, “Heaven on their minds” brings us in with some groovy tunes and Judah is expressing his ager is what the audience took it about Jesus becoming known for the Messiah. Judah Iscariot was one of the twelve prophets. According to the Gospels, Judah was arrested due to betraying Jesus (Betsworth, 8). In the…

bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.” Paul is giving the reason here for not buying into the false teaching. First, Paul establishes that the fullness of God is found in the Gospel that was preached-in Jesus Christ. Paul reminds the Colossians that Jesus Christ came down to earth as fully God and fully man at the same time. As Pastor mentioned last week, theologians call that the hypostatic union. As a fun fact: How many…

Scriptural sources such as Mark’s gospel of the passion help support church’s assertion that sinners not Jews are responsible for Jesus death. This story in Mark's gospel begins with this observation in chapter 14, verse 53 quoting, and they led Jesus to the high priest, and all of the chief priests, elders, and scribes were assembled. Professor Anderson point out in his lecture, (Who is Responsible for Jesus' Death,) that the next verse 54 should inform of what ensues next in the Assembly.…

The main message that is highlighted in this passage is that Jesus is the fact that Jesus is always in union with God. In addition, Jesus is reiterating the primary message of following in his ways and that if you follow him, you will have eternal life. This passage is trying to teach us that Jesus is the way of life, and that we must listen and understand Christ. We must believe that through him we will love fully and that he is our all-powerful God. In the passage it states, “I give them…

In Scot McKnight’s The King Jesus Gospel, the questions begged include whether or not Jesus preached the gospel, whether the gospel Paul preached is the same gospel Jesus preached, and whether the gospel we as Christians currently preach are the same, or even close to, the gospel Paul and Jesus preached. McKnight begins the readers’ journey through the gospel by introducing what the gospel actually is. The apostolic gospel is defined as an expansion of 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul “quote[s]…

Let us Pray… Day 1: For the world in which we live and breathe: pray that we would be wise and compassionate stewards of our Father’s World. Pray for Christians around the world: that together we will be faithful witnesses of the Gospel and the kingdom of God. Day 2: For our World: that our leaders may govern wisely, recognizing their need for God’s guidance and that as citizens we may live responsibly, seeking justice and righteousness, fulfilling the divine purpose of…

described as the compassionate healer, and do not describe him as angry. Ehrman argues that Mark 1:41 had originally stated that Jesus got angry when the outcasted leper had asked him to heal him. Ehrman also mentions that in another part of Mark’s Gospel, Jesus gets angry when it came to the matter of healing (133-138). This difference in text leaves the reader wondering what caused Jesus to be angry. Was it outcasted leper that angered him or the fact there are harm full diseases in the world?…

addressed to Christians. Romans is a systematic and in-depth explaination of the gospel: man’s sin and his need for salvation, then the process of santification in the believers life, a look of the sovereignty of God as He works throughout Israel’s past, present, and future, and the practicallity of the gospel in the believer’s life as it changes his everyday thoughts and actions. Galatians is a defense of the gospel and the freedom grace brings in the life of a believer. Paul demonstrates…

what become rather complex and un-simple questions. The Jesus of history leads to what can be said about the human Jesus. Meeting Jesus AGAIN for the First Time, by Marcus J. Borg, explains what history has to offer us about the human Jesus. The Gospels are historical documents that provide us with much of the information that we know about the human Jesus today. History can tell us who Jesus…
