to be mistaken as God(s). These messengers in Islam include, but are not limited to Muhammad (pbuh), Jesus (pbuh), and various other messengers. These people are seen as prophets and carriers of the message they were sent to give to their people. God is seen as one. He has no son, mother, or father. Although Islam does recognize Jesus and the bible, the interpretations are quite different. Jesus is seen as a prophet/messenger of God sent to convey a message to the believers, he is not considered…
the time of Christ. The wedding feast is often associated with the baptism of the Lord. The first reading from Isaiah speaks on how during the old covenant before Christ, Israel would be called “my delight,” and will “be called by a new name.” However Christ is the new covenant and during Christ’s…

to be the greatest act of redemption in the New Testament when God gave His one and only perfect son to die on a cross so that we might one day live with God for eternity. Jesus spent His life on earth revealing Himself as the Savior of the world to both the Jews and the Gentiles. Jesus performed many miracles; healing the sick and diseased, raising the dead to life, casting out of demons, and controlling nature. By coming from the line of David, Jesus showed that He had control to be the king…
of set assumptions to which one person commits to and lives their lives according to their belief in this worldview. Everyone has a different worldview that is both supported by faith and reason. The Christian Worldview consists of God, Humanity, Jesus, and the Restoration. This view does not contain just one’s personal faith expression, it’s an all- around, all-consuming way of life. The Christian worldview affirms that God is almighty and sovereign Lord of all existence because He created…
Some people’s names today are, frankly, astounding. For starters, men’s and women’s names are losing their masculinity and femininity. “Hi. My name’s John. How’ ya doin’?” “Oh, Hello. My name’s Jozzme.” “I’m sorry. I didn’t catch that.” “Jozzme.” “That’s what I thought you said.” Names increasingly sound like people named their kids from the ingredients on the side of a cereal box. “Heyyyy. This is my friend, Reyzin.” “Umm, nice to eat y__ ...I mean, meet you.” Excuse the levity (figured this…
concept of the Trinity. We will first define the term and examine Scriptural support, then review the initial historical development of the Trinity including heretical errors. We will switch to discussing the post-Schism adoption, further evolution and new heresies relating to the Trinity during that period. And finally, the paper will close with a personal appraisal and application. Trinity Terminology and Scriptural Support To begin, let’s define the Trinity. The word itself is not used in…
Philip the Apostle was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. Later Christian traditions describe Philip as the apostle who preached in Greece, Syria, and Phrygia. In the Roman Catholic Church, the feast day of Philip, along with that of James the Just, was traditionally observed on 1 May, the anniversary of the dedication of the church dedicated to them in Rome (now called the Church of the Twelve Apostles). The Eastern Orthodox Church celebrates Philip's feast day on 14 November. One of the…
birth and early life of Jesus. They are only found in two of the gospels. While Matthew and Luke are the only two gospels that contain the infancy narratives, they are a significant part in the story of Jesus. Matthew’s and Luke’s infancy narrative are both distinct, neither were a source for each other. While referred to as the infancy narratives they do not give us much from Jesus’ infancy and childhood. What the infancy narratives do answer is the question “Who is this Jesus of Nazareth?”…
used, by any of the children of Jacob, at least in terms of what is in the biblical record. The writer of the Pentateuch carefully avoided any mention of the name Yahweh until this Theophany insinuates the Israelites’ spiritual situation. Moses’ knowledge of one true God is also vague. The conclusion can be reached from his five objections to God until God get angry and from Moses does not circumcise his son . God appointed circumcision as the sign of the covenant in Abraham’s day (Genesis…
