Isaiah 53

on James 5 the Assemblies hold to the responsibility that that the Church is to pray for anyone who is sick. Furthermore, the promise and often considered privilege of the believer to find healing is linked to the atonement through the passage of Isaiah 53. This is drawn from the verse that says, “by His stripes we are healed.” One might ask in what way that believers are healed. Does this passage speak to the rift of separation caused by the effects of sin through Adam in the book of Genesis,…

Biblical Creation as a Worldview Should Biblical Creationism be presented parallel with evolution as a valid explanation of the origin of the universe? The secular system is accepting evolution as fact, when evolution is really a worldview in which one sees the facts. The argument can then be made that if one must exert faith to believe evolution, then Biblical Creationism should not be disqualified as an equal explanation. National evangelist and former atheist Kirk Cameron (2004) writes,…

HE IS RISEN 1 Cor. 15: 3-24 By Abraham Philip, Ph.D. In 1960, the famous Protestant theologian Paul Tillich visited Japan to meet with some Buddhist scholars. During a conversation with them in Kyoto, he asked: “If some historian should make it probable that a man of the name Gautama never lived, what would be the consequence for Buddhism?” The Buddhist scholars replied by saying that it did not matter if Gautama Buddha lived or not. They added, “According to the doctrine of Buddhism, the…

Critical Preface Going over the whole interview and realizing how many similar situations I have gone through with my Grandpa is what surprised me the most. This paper was completely different then I thought it was going to be. I assumed it would just be about me asking my grandpa questions and he just answers them and I’d put dialogue with a little bit of background information on paper. After I think about how I was going to originally start the paper I’m glad I realized that I need to change…

Praise the Lord Bro & Sis. Let us take the protection prayer … kindly repeat after me “Heavenly Father as I commence this time of prayer, I place myself and all those near & dear to me under your protection. I seal this room, this house, this neighborhood in the precious blood of Jesus Christ and I bind all forces of evil in Jesus name. I renounce Satan and all his works and empty promises. I renounce evil spirit who has dared to take up occupancy in my life, whether invited or uninvited.…

Arius is one of the most pivotal figures in the development of Christian thought. This is quite a statement because Arius is most definitely a heretic. However, this does not mean he was a bad person by any means. Instead, it means that his theology does not line up with what is now considered to be orthodoxy. Still, the reason this orthodoxy was established was due to the Council of Nicaea in 325, which occurred to establish if Arius, and the other members of the Unbegotten Father line of…

It's better for you to live judgement for God rather than condemning a man of God for what you are not certain about; and it's better to stay away from them if your closeness may lead you to too much familiarity that may cause you to despise them and reign down the curses of God upon you.” Definitely, those who are not sincere, leave them with their conscience or you pray for them; but know it that in time to come they will surely face the judgement throne of God. On the other hand, make sure…

That’s what happened in the garden of Eden. But prior to this in-cident occurring Lucifer, was expelled or as we like to say kicked out of heaven because he wanted to be God. He was created by God and he wanted to be God to be worshipped as God was being worshipped by the angels he had created. But God is God and he will not share his glory with another. Earth became corrupt because of the pronouncement of God upon it. Man would now have to live by the sweat of his brow. No longer could he walk…

The Doctrine of Atonement is perhaps one of the most fundamental beliefs of Christianity. There are many conflicting and similar views held by great theological thinkers of the atonement.

There are many complex ideas and doctrines that also tie into the doctrine of atonement that also need to be explained in depth such as the wrath of God, forgiveness of sins, and…
