John the Baptist

The “Sermon on the Mount” is recorded in Matthew 5-7. It is a collection of a number of Jesus’ teachings. In class, we talked about how Jesus was giving the disciples a new law. The Sermon on the Mount is the first times we hear of Jesus’ giving a sermon, according to the gospel of Matthew. The Sermon is so rich in things we need to do, think, and say, but I’m going to focus on the attributes that Christians need to display in order to have blessedness, how to pray and what to pray for, and a…

The Gospel according to Matthew was written because his community was suffering from an identity crisis. Mathews Gospel deals with two important concerns to his community; the first is the destruction of the temple and the loss of their land. The destruction of the temple and loss of their land happened to Matthews’s community in 70 AD. In addition, Matthew community expelled from their Synagogue caused a further identity crisis within the community. The temple and the land were two major…

overlook the stereotypes that had been in place. Jesus honored women when he taught them theology. He told Martha, ?I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in me shall never die? (John 11:25-26). He taught Mary in the Mary-Martha account (Luke 10), and he also taught theology to the Samaritan woman (John 4:9-29). As a result of this incident, his disciples ?marveled that he talked with a woman.? They knew Jesus had clearly violated the rabbinic oral law, which said, ?Let the words…

centuries the Baptist church has strived to form a Christian community that is established in both Scripture and Spirit crafted to best spiritually form Christians to live God’s calling for their lives. While there are numerous factors that differ us from our denominational brethren, I regard Believer’s Baptism, Authority of Scripture, Spiritual Conversion, and Evangelism as the “B.A.S.E.” or foundation of Baptist Identity. Believers’ Baptism The most apparent practice that separates Baptists…

Baptism is mentioned in both the New and Old testament of the bible. Although the term “baptism” was not coined until John the Baptist, the concepts in Leviticus were the same. These ideals consisted of the purification of a persons’ spirit through water. The water washes away a persons’ sins and allows them to emerge a strengthened member of the church. Even though getting baptized is not a prerequisite for the entrance to heaven many feel that it is a necessary step in devoting life to God…

The Lost letters of Pergamum This book is a series of letters from the apostle Luke converting a roman nobleman named Antipas. Calpurnius is a very smart man who is also a nobleman and also a very good friend to Antipas. Luke who we do not see until collection three, this is the Luke we know that wrote the book of Luke and acts who was one of the twelve apostles. Everything that we have already learned about Luke him being a doctor and everything else is what we know about Luke. Antipas is a…

As a person accepts Christ in Christianity he or she gets baptized in front of the church. For example, a “bar mitzvah’ is a ceremony that the Jewish Culture has for a boy when he comes to the age of 13. He now has the same rights as a grown man. Rising out from the water I entered adulthood marking a new beginning for my life, and the experience meant the world to me. I became an adult when I decided to be spiritually born again. I had to understand the importance’s of being baptized, then I…

in this story are: Gabriel the father: He is the overbearing, short-tempered father. John is Gabriel’s step-son: He is the quiet type who likes to read.

meeting house over the years. For this we are grateful.” Very stern to stray away from using man made words that they say is not biblical. Primitive Baptist have a strong heritage and a very rich one at that. The saying above was given to me by Neil Phelan, Pastor of a Primitive Baptist. Mr.Phelan never went to seminary and much like most Primitive Baptist pastors learn from passed down knowledge from other elders and self studied. Mr.Phelan has been serving in the ministry and as a…
