John the Baptist

Old Testament, but the best description of his works and being are described in the Gospel of John. In this paper I will examine the being of the Holy Spirit and his works as it is explained within the Gospel of John. The works of the Holy Spirit will contain passages from John chapters 1, 4, 6, 7, and the final message in chapters 14 through 16 as well as the giving of the Holy Spirit which is found in John chapter 20. This paper will express how the being of the Holy Spirit should be grasped…

started to care more about God and their faith. “Also new religious groups emerged from the revivals due to disagreements with the already established faiths”. With every pro, there’s a con, some people simply did not agree with the Methodists or Baptists so they started to form new religious groups. Despite having rough ends here and there, the people became more religious and aware of religion…

(Zondervan NIV Study Bible, p.1756), the purpose of The Gospel of John is clearly stated by its author (presumed to be the apostle John) - “But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name” (John 20:31). John’s Gospel differs from the Synoptics in form and perspective - but not, of course, in the basic storyline. He is born as prophesied, to much fanfare. John opens with echoing back to Genesis- “In the…

I am choosing Saint Andrew as my Confirmation Saint. I have selected Saint Andrew because he seems interesting because he is the first apostle and said yes to Jesus right from the beginning. He is the patron of fisherman. Fishing is something that I do a lot with my dad. We throw the poles in the car and pick up worms and scout out a spot to fish. Saint Andrew and his brother Simon were fishermen. They were doing it as their job, but I’m sure they enjoyed it as my dad and I do. Saint Andrew…

The twelve disciples were Peter, his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, Jude, also called Thaddeus, and Judas Iscariot. Andrew, Peter’s brother, was a fisherman from Bethsaida and Capernaum. Before he was called by Jesus he was a disciple of John the Baptist. He then brought his Peter to Jesus as said in John 1:40-42 when it states “One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s…

The Logos Hymn Both Matthew and Luke contain descriptions of the birth of Jesus unlike the Gospels of Mark and John. This difference may be a result of the special Luke and special Matthew sources. Instead of the Christmas story, the Gospel of John replaces the story of Jesus’s birth with the Logos hymn not only to create a universal text, but also to emphasize the glory of Jesus as the continuous creator that allows us to accept unending life. The Logos hymn forms the Gospel into a universal…

In the world today, everybody knows who Jesus Christ is. Everyone knows the Bible. Of the four gospels, Gospel of John addresses Jesus’ Judean Ministry of truth and light. It differs from and complements the Synoptic Gospels by writing style, especially in John 6: 26-59. In this passage, Jesus addresses the crowd and proclaims a radical thought, originating from the Old Testament. Jesus states that He is the new manna from heaven above; instituting what Christians call the Eucharist. With the…

in my early twenties after a year long process of reading my Bible. It was a tremendous journey full of unbelief, discouragement and finally faith. A year later the Lord called me into full time ministry. In the fall of I995 I was enrolled at Baptist Bible College in Springfield, MO. It was here at Bible College that I not only learned of the deficiencies of most people’s view of discipleship, but I began a long journey in realizing my own. Over the course of 20 years many great men…

course we focused on how religion affected the mountain people. In particular Methodism is an interesting domination. It was started by John Wesley and has continued to grow today. In this paper Methodism will be outlined by its history and origin, comparing it to characteristics of Appalachian religion in the word, and if it is still thriving today. In 1729, John Wesley and his brother Charles attended Oxford University in England. They with the help of a friend George Whitefield, organized a…
