not seen, it is still a part of the body. 6 God has placed the parts in the body "just as He wanted, 7. Where would the body be if there were only one part? 8. All the parts work together to form one body”. All these parts need to be in place in order to produce disciples. If the body is unhealthy it will reproduce unhealthy disciples; but if the body is healthy it will reproduce healthy disciples. Someone who cannot reproduce disciples or bear fruit will be cut off or pruned from the body of…

use his wife Faith as prey to get Brown he also uses other close friends. Although Brown cares for these people it shocks him to see his wife. The Author states, “’Faith! Faith!’ Cried the husband. “Look up to heaven, and resist the Wicked One!”” in order to show the reader we can fall into…

theology accepted by those who call themselves evangelicals or even other believers, as one would expect from a popular form of Christian denomination (i.e.: Calvinism, Baptist, Presbyterianism, etc.). The authors then liken Scripture to a mirror in order to illustrate the reflection (connection) between the Triune God…

evangelization and initial conversion. He or she heard the good news and wanted to learn more. At this age they are called inquirers. They then find a good member to be their sponsor.

Catechumenate is the time of study between two or three years, the catechumens receive instructions in the Gospels and Church…

can rule out that a qualification for being a man of God correlated with what you accomplish for God. I Kings 17:18 depicts Elijah as the Man of God. There is even the phrase “Call my sin to remembrance,” this further shows that the Man of God is holy and just. If we were to take the same look at the life of Elijah, as we did Moses, I believe we would come to many of the same conclusions about them being Men of God. Elisha is also referenced as the Man of God, many a time in II Kings. Elisha…

while being at the same place. The individual can also view his or her own body from a distance and feel any type of touch. We find the first evidence of such an experience in the Holy Bible where the messenger Paul says about his experience which was similar to an out of body experience.

Noah type figure. I do not believe that God is human like in appearance but that is my initial thought. There are times I imagine God is like a cloud but this cloud covers the entire earth. It is as if my view of God is he must have eyes like us in order to know what is going on with everyone. I believe he is all knowing and all-powerful yet I still consider that God must view the world with x-ray type vision to know what everyone is doing at all times. I believe God knows everything so of…

continuation and development of the human race. In talking about the nature of indissolubility, Ouellet says, “the indissolubility of Christian marriage flows above all from its structure as a spousal covenant ‘in Christ.’ God willed marriage in the order of creation as an indissoluble reality… the marriage-sacramental confirms and ratifies this indissolubility, inserting it into the mystery of Christ’s covenant with the Church” (Ouellet, 95).
