Matthew Henson

Jesus came announcing that the kingdom of God was at hand (Matthew 3:2) and then preceded to demonstrate what God’s true kingdom on earth would look like. However, as Robert Stein points out, “Jesus never defined exactly what he meant by the kingdom of God/heaven” in his teachings (Stein 61). Instead, Jesus told John’s disciples “the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor” (Luke 7:22). In doing…

Gospel of Matthew is written for Jews who were under the oppression of the Romans. In this Gospel, Matthew introduced them the Jewish to the king of the Jews, Jesus. He made an argument that Jesus is the Messiah, son of God. Follow the argument is a series of prove base on real events that happened to Jesus. First, when Matthew said: “This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham: … and Marry was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah” (Matthew 1:…

Within your lifetime you have probably heard the name Jesus Christ come up at least once, whether that was in a swear or someone was making a biblical reference, But if you still know little to nothing about him then this is the place for you. Jesus was and is still a religious leader, he plays an important role in the christian religion and based of the religion he was the one that paid the debt for all of our sins. The bible isn't a bibliography but more a book of principles told by stories…

The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is a well-known organization that strives to improve the lives of injured veterans. The organization works hard to eliminate issues injured service members face after they have given so much in the service of our country.

Recently, WWP has taken action to help improve…

Within the bible, there are numerous narratives about the life of Jesus and his teachings that he spread to his followers. These narratives help Christians understand what they should do in order to become good followers in the eyes of God. In the Gospels of Luke chapter 10, Luke writes three recollections of Jesus. Even though all three narratives are different and have their own meanings, they all reinforce the same idea of what it means to be a true follower of God. To start off, the first…

Everything I have read about the synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke reminds me of college writing now and plagiarism; with this said, I could define the synoptic problem as plagiarism. You see the synoptic problem is very close relationships of the writings in these books, by these three. They are very similar in so many ways Mark writing first, then Matthew and Luke following with the same stories just changed up a bit. Kind of like a close plagiarism with quotes and some paraphrasing…

The letter to Theodore by Clement claims the pollution of ‘the sacred meaning’ of the secret book of Mark took place because of a supposed ‘copied text’ that told shameful lies that was developed by the Carpocratians. This group was mainly prominent in the second century and was known to be one of the most scandalous of the Gnostic sects, an early and extreme variance that claimed to be Christian. Their teachings centered on the belief that only by committing all possible sexual acts could a…

Many scholars have wondered if sources other than the Gospels recorded information about Jesus, His life and His ministry. This curiosity lead them to finding three main outside sources, Pagan sources, Jewish sources, and second- and third-century sources, that scholars have scrutinized to see if they contain information about Jesus that is not portrayed in the Gospels. Unfortunately, none of these outside sources provide much detail about Jesus and his ministry, however, some of them do mention…

The book of Mark was written by John Mark around 50 – 60 AD. John Mark was a missionary who worked and traveled with Peter and recorded his recollections of the life and work of Jesus.

Mark records Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God, and the suffering servant who was sent to serve as liberation and restoration for God’s creation. Mark wrote a detailed description of who Jesus was, the miracles he did, the sermons and…
