Gospel of Matthew verses

applied the term of gehenna to describe the place of sorrow because of the stench, smoke, pain and a place of fire and death in Matthew 5:22 and 18:8. Tartarus is referred to a place that is very deep like the abyss for dangerous fallen angels in 2 Peter…

In the world today, everybody knows who Jesus Christ is. Everyone knows the Bible. Of the four gospels, Gospel of John addresses Jesus’ Judean Ministry of truth and light. It differs from and complements the Synoptic Gospels by writing style, especially in John 6: 26-59. In this passage, Jesus addresses the crowd and proclaims a radical thought, originating from the Old Testament. Jesus states that He is the new manna from heaven above; instituting what Christians call the Eucharist. With the…

gets loud and harder to hear, but when Jesus is the speaker, people become silent and it’s effortless to hear, even still they do not listen to the wisdom of God. “Though hearing they do not hear or understand.” Matthew and mark are parables that are common with each other in the Gospels. They talk about Jesus in a large crowds and how people will not listen to Jesus even with silence. God put these parables out for us, so that we could understand his spiritual lessons through his stories in the…

Matthew chapter 27 records the trial and death of Christ. Needless to say, Jesus’ death was a monumental event in history. There were several things in the events of his arrest, trial, and death that are very noteworthy. Also, the theological significance of His death is worthy of review and contemplation. The arrest of Jesus Christ is a tale of deep betrayal. Judas Iscariot, a member of the original twelve disciples, was contacted by Caiaphas the high priest. Judas was contracted for thirty…

“They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Many people have heard these words uttered from Jesus himself in Matthew 13:42, however many different depictions of hell have been asserted. In Dante’s Inferno he travels through the depths of Hell and describes what exactly it will look like and feel like and ultimately be like. However is this depiction actually accurate? In multiple areas Dante’s inferno seems to build off the biblical…

Christ has called us to go and make disciples in His name; he wants us to go and share the saving the Gospel of His name so that others may find eternal life. Our job does not just stop at showing others the Gospel, but stretches far beyond sharing and into the realm of discipling new believers in their walk with Christ. It is my philosophy that when discipling a new believer, you will have to develop personal specific plans for the new believers. There are some basic principles to fallow when…

The time of the end of the age of man spans from the book of Genesis in the Old Testament to the book of Revelation, which is the last book of the New Testament. Most people only consider the books of Daniel and Revelation as apocalyptic discernment to a future period known as the Great Tribulation. To fully understand where we are in the prophetic structure of the time that was allotted to the age of man, you must go back to the very beginning. You must look deep into the Scriptures for…

comparisons of the Koran and the Bible, particularly Noah and Joseph, and a few of the views from Augustine, who was a fourth and fifth-century theologian and philosopher. When reading the stories (or suras) in the Koran, let us look at the recurring verse “merciful and forgiving,” as “all-knowing and all- powerful,” and how that contributes to the theme which ribbons through the Koran. Which I interpret as, God is one, and that nothing is comparable to him, and he himself cannot be compared to…

Introduction The Gospel according to Matthew is the first of the four gospels in the New Testament. Written around second century A.D., it presents the story of Jesus, the breaking-in of the new and final age through his ministries, his death and resurrection, and the demands of Christian discipleship (The New American Bible). In Chapter 6, Jesus is teaching in Galilee to his disciples and to the people of Galilee. The principle of this section (3:1-7:29) is the Proclamation of the Kingdom (The…

concept of poor in the Lukan writing is not entirely, or even primarily, about the economically deprived, but all those who lived in an inferior status within the Jewish society. The focal point of the Gospel is the treatment of these categories of people that Luke considers to be ‘the poor’. The Gospel doesn’t only focus on the poor being inheritors of the message, but also the message of how the poor ought to be treated by those of power. This leads Scholars such as Mel Shoemaker to argue that…
