Historicity of Jesus

For as long as societies have exited, there has always been the need for leaders. A leader must have qualities that defines what he does, what he represents and its people. In the world, there are been many leaders that had impact people lifestyle but also people way of thinking and react to situation. Let me take an example: Joshua. Joshua is the son of Nun, of the Tribe of Ephraim. Joshua was born a slave during the final years of the Egyptian captivity and became an amazing soldier and a…

an image and God’s son Jesus. John defines an image as “a likeness of the original but not an exact replica”. John also explains how the Son of God, which is Jesus, is a form of God through a body of flesh that performs miracles, through Jesus’ miracles and actions one can see the awe of Gods greatness and power. John explains to that Catholic church that because God took the form of Jesus in flesh, that one can depict the likeness of God’s form in the flesh through Jesus’ actions and miracles…

be(Nelson Mandela).The greatest leader I thought was my mother until Jesus Christ became a part of my life. I really discovered the perfect leader worth following in 1972. His name is Jesus Christ consequently; even if you look at your whole life you will not find that perfect leader until you look at Him. After learning about him and the great powers he had this changed my whole outlook on life. The best leader who has ever lived is Jesus. Regardless of what your spiritual association, even…

I explored Canto XXXIV of Dante Alighieri’s The Inferno. This canto describes Dante’s and Virgil’s expedition into the last circle of hell, Cocytus. As well as detailing their interactions with a number of significantly important characters. Virgil leads Dante into the last circle of hell and they are immediately shaken by a great icy wind. They look over to see a massive horrid creature stirring up the windstorm by flapping it’s wings. Dante said “I did not die, and yet I lost life’s breath”…

When reading Luther’s lectures on the Psalms, it is apparent that in many ways Luther connects himself to tradition through the way in which he reads and interprets scripture. Luther does this mainly through his Christological reading of the Psalms, which he maintains throughout, as well as his appropriation of the four-fold sense of the text. When one surveys the Patristic Church Fathers up to the Middle ages one readily observes an exegetical process that extrapolated multiple layers of…

“The Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29 KJV), He has arrived and many accounts of His deeds are found in the testimonies of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Jesus, born of a virgin, descendent of Abraham and David (Matthew chapter1), is the seed of Eve in Genesis, the Passover Lamb in Exodus, Emanuel of Isaiah, the redeemer of mankind. He was sent by God, His Father to be the sacrifice to atone for the sin of…

friend Aelia, concerned for the wellbeing of your soul. I am writing this letter to with my concerns about your beliefs in monotheism and how I think you can better your faith, happiness, and life after reading this letter about my Christian faith in Jesus Christ. There are two Christian thinkers that write about their early Christian faith which I based my faith off of. Those two scholars would be Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch, and Justin Martyr. After reading their writings I have converted…

As I have matured in my spiritual walk with Christ, it has become increasingly apparent to me that it is vital for one to put one’s life in the hands of the Savior. Not doing so will lead one to look back at the end of one’s life and realize that all of its selfish passions were, as Solomon expresses in Ecclesiastes, complete vanity. What I do for the Lord and my carrying out of the Great Commission is the only worthwhile aspect of my life. The key to having this attitude lies in where my…

Required o As a child, I grew up attending the same church and went to the same private school from K-12th grade. I was raised in God fearing and loving family.

It was interesting that they both had such different goals, Judas’ being to betray Jesus and Peter’s to never betray Him, and yet they both ended up transgressing. However, the way they reacted to their betrayals of Christ tells a lot about their character. Judas, after betraying Jesus, returned to the chief priests and begged, “…I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to…
