Julian describes her visions, mentions about seeing the body of Jesus Christ, and his mother, while she was a servant for both Jesus Christ, and mother Mary.…

biblical Walk Through The Mass, Edward mentioned the inclusion of the Old Testament reading. I found that interesting to read about it and to know exactly what is mean. So, as I read I think the Old Testament is primarily a witness of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who was known to the ancients as Jehovah. According to my religion, Islam teaches us that God revealed eternal truth to prophets prior to Muhammad, including the prophets of the Hebrew Bible. Islam also recognizes the legitimacy of the…

Many assumptions are made when it comes to Christianity. Is Jesus Christ human, divine, or both? How do we know the answer? Different people believe different things but there is proof in not only the Bible, but also many other sources that Jesus Christ is both fully human and fully divine. “In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God; He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made”, John 1:1-3 (2…

When I review what we have learn in this class I realized how much I didn’t know about Jesus, or even anything in the book. I’ve learned a lot that I never knew, but some of the stuff I have learn is actually relevant to me and my life, even when I thought none of it would be. The concepts that I think are relevant to me and my life the most would be from the Prison Letters of Paul, when Paul was in the Philippian prison.

Introduction Welcome to a Jungle River Adventure. Vacation Bible School with teenagers is always an adventure. It has been my experience that teenagers sometimes enjoy Bible School more than any other age group. Much of what teenagers get out of Vacation Bible School will be up to the teachers. Teens will be able to tell how much you have prepared. Also, they will be able to tell if you really care for them. Many teens do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. Let me…
