Jesus is the Son of God and our redeemer I will be touching on the most important doctrine in the Book of Mormon that Jesus Christ is the Savoir of mankind and is my own personal Savior. The whole goal of the book is bringing all unto Christ. The Book of Mormon is another witness of Jesus Christ and confirms the truths found in the Holy Bible. In its more than 6,000 verses, the Book of Mormon refers to Jesus Christ 4,000 times. It is clearly stated in it that it this was written to teach of and…

Jesus v.s Muhammad: Effects they have on today's society Jesus and Muhammad were both the founders of their religion. They both play a huge role in our society today. There are dozens of holidays and festivals directly related to Jesus and Muhammad, and the holy books in the religion are there words, and life story. Jesus and Muhammad directly impact our lives all the time. One thing that some Christians do is fast. One example of when they fast is Lent. Before Jesus's death, he went out into…

the tribulation? Some say it is Jesus and his second coming. How can Jesus be in Heaven opening the seals and riding this white horse at the same time? This rider wears a “crown”; Jesus wears “many crowns”. This rider wears a “stephanos”, a victor’s crown. Jesus wears many “diadems”, the many crowns of the King of Kings. The rider in these verses has his crown “given unto him”. This man was appointed a king be men. This rider is given a crown that he has earned. Jesus wears His crowns because…

Was Jesus Really The Messiah Jesus has been called an imposter [simply a good man], and others believe Him to be the Messiah; so, is Jesus the son of Joseph or the Divine Son of God. The fact that Jesus lived needs no proof, but if He was the son of Joseph, then He was simply a man; nonetheless, if only a man, why has there not been through all the years another man His equal? Fact is, if He is not Deity, He is unexplainable. If He was just a man, the claims He made were not true and that…

Prophetic Jesus, Prophetic Church is a book written by Thomas Johnson. Johnson wrote this book to challenge taking the Luke-Acts Christianity into contemporary Christianity. The challenge is that the church would have an ear to hear its prophetic calling. The overall purpose of the book is to offer a scriptural foundation for the ministry of the church so that it is grounded and coherent in the ministry of Jesus. Johnson argues that Luke and Acts, presents Jesus and the apostles in terms of…

glorious in-breaking kingdom of heaven, where Jesus proclaims the character of kingdom dweller, and the brokenness of the present world, where sin still besets men and women. Perhaps the listeners of the day, as we do today, sat and pondered, “Am I in the kingdom of heaven or am I out?” Scot McKnight rightly identifies that the Beatitudes are a sweeping “manifesto of a kingdom way of life.” In proclaiming the characteristics of kingdom dwellers, not only does Jesus flip the table on his…

novel is centered on ordinary people who resolve everyday problems with the question, “What would Jesus do?” According to the article fantasy is “the creative and imaginative interpretation of events” and is “the means through which the interpretation is accomplished in communication to help members of the rhetorical community to see the world in a certain way.” Sheldon’s question, “What would Jesus do” helps readers achieve personal reform. The three fantasies that Sheldon and his supporters…

accomplished a lot through Stephen in a very short period of time. Even though Stephen was a man of great spiritual power he also suffered greatly because of his relationship with Jesus. To put it plain and simple the Jews did not like Stephen. Stephen was running around testifying of Jesus and performing miracles in the name of Jesus and the jews hated him for it. So they decided to call together their best religious minds to debate spiritual matters with Stephen. But they could not overcome…

short, we set goals and then work to accomplish them. For Christians, we share a common goal. Our goal is to become more like Jesus with every day that we live. The book, The Jesus Creed by Scot McKnight, provides meaningful stories including practical ways to imitate Jesus. McKnight’s selling formula-- love God and love others. His theory was based off of Mathew 22:37-40, “Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the…

As we have seen, for Paul, God the Father is He who has raised Jesus from the dead. Paul views the Abrahamic narrative in this light as if the narrative were written with that statement being true at the time that Abraham walked the earth. The God of Abraham is the God who would raise Jesus from the dead. Implied in that statement is that Jesus had to die. Knowing that Jesus is God the Son, that means that, from time immemorial, the Son is He who would be sent by the Father to suffer and die.…
