Names and titles of Jesus in the New Testament

the Greek Codex Hierosolymitanus, then first published in English in 1883. It has two titles, the short title is Training of the Twelve Disciples, while the longer title is Training of the Lord through the Twelve Apostles to the Gentiles. Since both titles start with the Greek word Didache (Training), this has become what it is referred to as. The Didache was by far the most popular document outside the New Testament scriptures in the Early Church. There are 16 chapters within, which can be…

Typology in the Old testament is mostly Christologically centered. A classic example is The sacrifice of The Passover Lamb. The New Testament verifies typology as a legitimate form of biblical interpretation. (see 1 Cor. 5:7; John 1:29; 1 Peter 1:19) But what of typology in the Old Testament not officially sanctioned by the New Testament writers? Many types of Christ found in the Old Testament are not specifically cited in the New Testament. Joseph, son of Jacob, is a classic example. Any…

The Baptist World Alliance explains: “baptism speaks of how new Christians have had their sins ‘washed away’ by the Lord Jesus. Believers’ baptism by immersion also shows how we are buried with Christ (going under the water is a bit like a burial) and given new life in him (symbolized as we come up out of the water).” Baptism marks a Christians introduction into the body of saints that comprise the church.…

Exodus, God is the essential worker. The nature and intent of that divine work set the agenda for Moses’ work and through him, the work of God’s people. God’s initial call to Moses included an explanation of God’s work. This drove Moses to speak in the name of the Lord to Pharaoh saying, “Let my people go” (Exod. 5:1). Pharaoh’s rebuttal was not merely verbal; he oppressed the Israelites more harshly than before. By the end of this episode, even the Israelites themselves had turned against Moses…

Paul was an educated man who had an encounter with Jesus and began preaching the gospel to the Gentiles while helping to establish the church through missions. He was a very passionate man who was inspired by the Holy Spirit to spread the gospel. He was formerly known as “Paul of Tarsus”. He had a troubled beginning before he took a journey down Damascus Road. After his conversion, Paul wrote 13 books in the New Testament. Many people’s lives were transformed by Paul’s willingness and…

alphabets, as numbers in those languages were represented by letters, which made it easy to translate any name into a number. Some scholars think that that alphanumeric code points to one, or at the least the first “beast” of Revelation: Nero. Unfortunately, even using Nero’s name can’t give insight into whether the number of the beast is 616 or 666, as the Greek version of the name and title translated into Hebrew gives the number as 666, while the Latin version of the Nero translates…

adopted into God’s Family? This conflict is easily resolved when you understand that the title of God can refer to both God the Father and God the Son? Conflicting with the Trinitarian belief that there is one God with three different aspects, we believe that the Father and the Son are separate beings, who both take upon them the title “God.” Jehovah, the God of the Old Testament, came to earth in the form of Jesus Christ and Elohim, the father of our spirits, is who we pray to and worship in…

1. The inception of the Antioch church (11:19-21). We come now to a major turning point in the book of Acts. In Acts 1:8 Jesus commissioned His disciples to be His witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in all Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth. We have seen how the gospel spread throughout Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria and now to the Gentile world. As we look at the inception of the Antioch church I want us to observe three sub points in this first heading. I. The…

In the 1915 narrative, he says the man who spoke to them was white and spoke in the Lakota language. Short Bull only refers to the man by name or title once, but it is illuminating, as he calls a vision he had of Wovoka during a Ghost Dance the “the Son of God.” Though he does not specifically note seeing the stigmata as Porcupine did, the man who speaks to his group of the Dance tells them that due to his murder there are “many holes in me.” The idea of narratives being used for different…

Jesus indicates that Peter’s confession does not come from mere insight or worldly wisdom, but has been given directly from God. Consequently, Peter will be the “rock” that Christ will build his church, indicating “Peter’s strength of character and future role in the church.” While there are differences of opinion on what “rock” means, it is clear that Peter is singled out by Christ to be a leader from within the circle of disciples. Barber agrees, “Jesus’ bestowal of the “keys…
