Jesus and history

Bible, it prophesied of the coming of Jesus of Nazareth, whom many believed to be the founder of the Christian religion as well as the Son of God. Throughout the history of Christianity, there were major changes to its sphere of influence and its geographical and political implications, while consistently keeping its core monotheistic values.

the person of Jesus Christ The gospel of John recounts a pool in Siloam where Jesus heals a blind man, "Go," he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means "Sent"). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing,”” (John 9:7, New International Version). According to Dickinson, the gospels tell of the events in the life of Jesus took place during an oppressed time in history where he believes today, there is a connection between history and faith.

In a period of over 1000 years there are over 300 predictions in the Old Testament about the rise of a Jewish Messiah. studies of Jesus' life, death and background shows he fits these Messianic prophecies. So even before jesus walked the earth people knew he was coming. The history of Christianitie orgin may seem like a hard story to belive. Sceptics say it is too far-fetched for people of today to…

The actual date of Jesus' birth is not known, but it appears that Jesus was born sometime between 7 and 5 B.C in Bethlehem. 25 December was fixed as his birth date more than 500 years after the event on purely hypothetical data. There is not one Jesus birth story in the gospels, but two. These gospels include Matthew and Luke, where they state that he was born of the virgin mother, Mary, without a male parent. However, Joseph the carpenter has been considered to be his father. The two gospels…

Can you think of one thing that jesus did that didn’t have an impact on the world? Jesus says quotes like John 10:10, 11 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. I believe the most valuable person in history is Jesus. Jesus was born circa 6 b.c in bethlehem.

The denial of Jesus divinity in the Quran is one of the primary methods the text has of minimizing his role relative to Christian Christology and upholding the basic Muslim tenet that there is no god but the one and true God (la ilaha illa allah). Jesus is mentioned 25 times by name in the Quran, as opposed to Muhammad’s five singular mentions, in addition to being called the spirit, word, messenger, and prophet of God . While a central figure, each mention ensures that Jesus is seen as being…

revelation of the Spirit of God, the eternal oneness of Jesus the "Son", Jesus the "Father", and Jesus the "Holy Spirit". That He was and is before all things and that by him "all things consist". That Jesus is the fullness of the Godhead bodily and without controversy great is that mystery of Godliness. Even though man in his finite thinking gradually gravitated away from the leading of the Holy Spirit through the centuries, God has still through Jesus Christ revealed himself to those who have…

The Salvation History describes God’s plan of salvation that is narrated in the canonical Scriptures. To better understand the history of salvation, the Scripture can be categorized into eight units: each unit is filled with experiences of faith that transmit God’s saving plan. The first part of the Sacred Scripture is a figurative and theological narration of the first events of existence. It narrates how God created everything. Moreover, it describes God’s creation as perfect, and orderly. He…

Christian History and Thought Noah Disbrow Prof. Mark J. Ackerman 5/2/2018 The understanding of Jesus and his divinity is taken for granted by contemporary Christians today. We have our pastors, different versions of the Bible, and Bible Study Commentaries. Access to at least the Bible was not a luxury of our Early Church Fathers in the fourth and fifth century had within their reach. Thankfully, those 4th and 5th century Church Fathers took the time to address the divinity of Jesus Christ,…
