Holy Spirit

[Jesus} taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, saying, "Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are -- the Holy One of God!" But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!" And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him. Then they were all amazed, so that they…

the payment of a debt, as stated by Augustine (Piana, Apr., 1917). Sin came into the world by one (1) man Adam, and it was taken out by one (1) man, Jesus Christ. When Christ left, He gave a promise to send a helper or comforter for all mankind: the Holy…

Christ to “fulfil your ministry” (Abraham J. Jules). Evangelists should have a disposition that respects, honors, and shows love to others. The love and power that controls human being to engage in evangelism, which might come to us directly from the holy place of sanctuary. God is only one who makes requests for the world and who is touched by the feelings of our infirmities. Second, successful evangelism…

him to be. Some of the biggest holy books which all portray a distinct type of God describing the way people should live their lives or the ways to everlasting life in heaven are the Bhagavad Gita, the Holy Bible, and the Quran. All these publications reveal their god to possess laws and unique features that lead these faiths to differ or compare to every other. In all three novels, God is an excellent teacher. God's teaching style in the Quran, as well as the Holy Bible, are alike only…

Exploring comparisons and contrasts between secular futurology and Christian eschatology and secular futurology raises questions about every organization’s mission and its reason for being. Braaten (1979) says “The future in secular futurology is reached by a process of the world’s becoming. The future in Christian eschatology arrives by the coming of God’s kingdom.” For years, there have been profound dynamisms in this crossroads between the Christian eschatology and secular futurology.…

My Christianity experience began from birth. I was baptized and confirmed as a Catholic. I practiced that faith until God called my husband, who had been in Protestant ministry, to a higher position in his church. I switched to be the “Helpmeet” I felt God wanted me to be. There are many similarities in practices and beliefs in both faiths so it was not a hard transition.

Flannery O’Connor frequently discusses religion and has said in interviews and personal writing that she sees the world in relation to Christ and His redemption (530). In both “Good Country People” and “A Good Man is Hard to Find”, O’Connor explores ideas about Christianity that suggests not only is she a Christian writer but she has struggled with her faith and delved deep into the theological side of this religion. The violence O’Connor uses in her stories helps show why God is needed in our…

worshiping with us and seeing God really working in that room. It is really one of the greatest feelings and I thank God for it. Worship as a church I feel definitely has its benefits, the bible say’s that where two or more people are gathered, the Holy Spirit will be. So in church I am able to feel the Lord moving not just within myself but also within everyone, it makes it feel so much more like a massive family I and I find that really great. I am lucky in that I am at a good church where all…

In the New Testament, Jesus made a very bold statement to us. In Mark 11:23 Jesus said: (Mar 11:23) For truly I say to you that whoever shall say to this mountain, Be moved and be cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he said shall occur, he shall have whatever he said. This amazing statement still continues to strain our faith to grasp the fullness of what He meant. In June of 1974, a man named Charles Capps was teaching at a faith seminar in…
