Jesus Seminar

Today was a day as any other day, as I sat on the bench at the park and read my daily reading of the Bible. Today I was approached by a lady she actually stopped and ask me what it was in the world that made me sit day after day on my bench and read the Bible? She also wanted to know why I considered it to be an authoritative instrument. I shared with her the views of so many before me: When we refer to the Bible as being authoritative, we mean that it is something that has been either written…

greater power then him will be coming soon. Jesus then comes to the river to be baptized by John, and was recognized by the Holy Spirit of God as His son. After being baptized and being recognized, Jesus was sent into the wilderness for 40 days to be tested and tempted by satan. Jesus returns and shares the good news to the townspeople. He then traveled to Galilee where he started picking men whom he wanted as disciples. With the chosen 12, Jesus started traveling from town to town sharing…

Throughout history people have turned to sacred beliefs for sense of well-being, gathering with others whom share their interests, or simply for a guided way of life to live by. Some of the world cultures have rituals, sacred grounds, even objects of common use to represent the practices in which they hold so dearly, for the majority of cultures, religion, typically with a worshiped deity, if not more than one, and a literary central religious text to live by, is how the rest of the religious…

known as counterfactual. So what Jesus did – repeatedly and smoothly – was truly phenomenal human. He established, beyond sensible doubt, that he is more than just a man. However staggering the implications, Jesus’ words and actions graphically prove that he is God. As we sat in the cafeteria of the Bedfordshire Times, my friend Steve wanted proof of God’s existence: “If you’re really there, God, why on earth don’t you prove it?” It seems to me that when Jesus walked the planet, God did, on…

105). Scripture offers much in the teaching of the triune; however, as Highfield states, “the traditional doctrine has a solid scriptural warrant” (2008, p. 108). As one begins to understand the Scripture ties between Old Testament theology and Jesus’ participation in creation and divine ability to forgive, it will influence how they view the…

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 kingdom of God is an eternal real and joyful place, in which only holy creatures and God Himself live. And it is also a promised place for everyone that has overcome the devil on this earth. MORE DETAILS CONCERNING THE KINGDOM The kingdom of God is a Holy place and only Holy people are going there. The most important commandment is known and is “love” the father God with all our hearts and is bound together with loving our neighbors. And all that because everyone is made in God’s image. In…

options present themselves to “solve” these issues. The followers of Jesus Christ offer a distinct viewpoint on these problems. This viewpoint has provoked many authors to write poems or short stories inside this field of thought. William Blake and Mark Jarman, two Christian authors, wrote two different stories using their set of ideas developed from Christianity’s beliefs. Christians are encouraged to love in the same way that Jesus Christ loved everybody (Holman Christian Standard Bible, Eph.…

The overall premise of Wheeler and Whaley’s The Great Commission to Worship is that worship and evangelism are not to be isolated from each other. Worship and evangelism go together and they impact how the believer is to live out the commandment of the Great Commission. Wheeler and Whaley make the assertion that evangelism and worship have been misunderstood, misinterpreted, and misapplied, and offer suggestions to fix this problem. The ultimate purpose of the Christian, according to Wheeler…

What do you think about when you hear the phrase, Christlike attributes? Personally, I think about the many wonderful and amazing qualities Jesus Christ has. Then I remember how we have been told to follow and become more like our Savior. However, becoming more like Him is a whole lot easier said than done. Today, I want to talk about how, if we develop these attributes, then we can receive so many blessings. So what are Christlike attributes? How can we develop them? How can developing…
