Jesus movement

The role of the church today, is the same as it has been since the day Jesus ascended to Heaven, and left us a mission to complete, saying in Matthew 28:18-20 “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you…” (NIV). His commandment is timeless, and for all generations until He returns. He never changes,…

is well represented by Blake’s use of the allusion “Lamb of God’ (line 3) which comes from the “Gospel of John” in the New Testament. In the “Gospel of John” the “Lamb of God” is meant to reference Jesus as he “takes away the sin of the world.”(wikipedia). The use of this allusion suggests that Jesus came to England to return it to it’s former holy and innocent. To demonstrate England’s lost innocence Blake’s talks of “dark Satanic Mills?”(line 8) alluding to the early industrial revolution…

early entrenched in the ministry of Jesus. When we get to the 14th verse of chapter 1, we are introduced to the ministry of Jesus and provided a summary of his message, “Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.” (Mark 1:14-15). The Message translation of those verse read, “After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee preaching the…

Tales of Salvation Attempting to reconstruct the life of Jesus through historical records is difficult, tedious, and often frustrating. The few writings and records that have survived the perilous 2,000 year journey into our hands can tell drastically different accounts of what really transpired all those years ago. The Gospels of Mark and Thomas are no exception, especially when tackling the topic of “salvation” or rather “How Does Jesus Save People?” The respective Gospels have vastly…

Jesus Christ - Who Was He? Here are some different views about who Jesus Christ was. Which one(s) do you think are correct? 1. Jesus Christ was only a mythical figure Although part of the Bible story, virtually all modern scholars studying antiquity say that Jesus did exist historically. Most of them agree that Jesus was a Galilean, Jewish rabbi who preached his message orally, and was crucified by the order of the Roman Prefect Pontius Pilate. 2. Jesus Christ was founder of a world…

Martin Luther King Jr. was a famous and respectable man when he was alive. He was a leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. He gave many sermons and speeches in his day. On one very important day, 4 February 1968, he gave a sermon called “The Drum Major Instinct;” it was based off an adaptation of J. Wallace Hamilton’s “Drum-Major Instinct.” In King’s sermon, he explains what the drum major instinct is and why you need to be cautious with it. King believed that you shouldn’t use…

more focused in on Jesus’s ministry done in Galilee. Another major difference would be the chronology. The Book John believes that Jesus ministry lasted for three years but, the Synoptic Gospels believe it to only…

“The history of the movement that emerged out of his life and teachings I usually studied separately in the field of Church History, which is also well-developed and sophisticated (Lynch pg.1)”. Reza Aslan was the author of No god but God, but wrote another book called Zealot: The Life And Times Of Jesus Of Nazareth. The book became number one New York Times bestseller. Reza Aslan wanted to examine one of history’s most influential person through an ear of the first-century Palestine. Many…

not following the teachings of Jesus the historical figure. What a Kantian “religion” would look like today is related closely to what we call the “New Age” faith. Although New Age best describes what Kant would accept as a pure religion, a Kantian religion would be comprised of a group of extremely confused individuals who would truly never achieve anything. There would be no religion. The Christian religion is based on the divine nature of a man named Jesus. Jesus was a human who,…

in Spirit,” wrote Mary Baker Eddy in 1898 (Christian Science Versus Pantheism). Mrs. Eddy (as she is colloquially referred to by her followers) was the woman who came to found the Christian Science religion, based on the metaphysical New Thought movement, in 1879 (Christian Science, “What is Christian Science?”). For individuals who are born into the modern Christian Science church, understanding the concept of “divinity” in the…
