Godhead

Introduction The Christology of Calvin follows Chalcedonian definition which affirms that each of the two natures of Christ “retains its distinctive nature unimpaired, and yet these two natures constitute one Christ.” The two distinct and indivisible natures unite within the person of Christ and work together as the person of the mediator without losing any property of each one. Nevertheless, Christ’s saving work is only received through faith which is the work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy…

to John. Jesus tells believers He is the vine, and they are the branches, abiding in Him will allow them to bear fruit, however without Jesus, believers are nothing. (John 15:1-5) “Vines were often used to express fruitfulness, dependence, vital union, pruning” and for a culture here people were familiar with agriculture, this metaphor would have made perfect sense.

A religious worldview, in laymen’s terms, is the perspective by which an individual or group views the world in which we live. The religious worldview may be shaped by one’s understanding or belief of any one or combination of cultural, behavioral, social, or religious understanding or belief (Tackett). Worldviews, for some, are like birthrights. Meaning, that some who are born into families or cultures with absolute beliefs are expected, or required in certain cases, to share the same…

Cross The word cross was introduced to English in the tenth century as the term for the instrument of the torturous execution of Christ gradually replacing rood, ultimately from Latin crux, via Old Irish cros. Originally, both rood and crux referred simply to any pole, the later shape associated with the term being based in church tradition, rather than etymology.
