Even though these two derived from the same roots and have many similarities, there are still vast differences which have proven to cause conflict throughout history. Catholicism believes that God is the Creator of all and that people were created in His image. Because of this view on life, they believe…

Although 2 Corinthians and John are both in the New Testament in the Bible, the two differ in styles of writing, purpose, audience, and of course author. Each hold great importance in portraying the word of God but they contain their own unique attributes as well. 2 Corinthians is a letter from Paul, written to the people of Corinth which is made known in 1:1, “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God that is at Corinth, with all the…

Son, and the Holy Spirit are the three forms of God, how God does not only exist as a personal Spirit beings, but in the Trinity. As Dr. Walter Martin states that no one can fully explains the Trinity even though there have been propounded theories and hypothesis over the years, the Trinity is still largely incomprehensible, defy human’s logic and reason.

John’s Gospel omits a lot of the important events such as: the temptations of Jesus, the Lord’s supper, Garden of Gethsemane, and the casting out of demons showing signs that John was not aware of the synoptic Gospels when writing. “These stories make up the backbone of the Synoptic accounts of Jesus.” (Ehrman, 181) However these omissions of information allowed for new information to be added into the Fourth Gospel such as Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead in John 11. John was writing the…

Ronald Witherup discusses the threefold priestly ministry by using three analogies: the priest as poet, sage, and teacher. However, three chapters seem to be only preaching-and-teaching oriented. He mentions the expected order of vocabulary in PDV #26: “the ministry of word, sacrament and pastoral charity” to match with the order of the threefold roles: prophet, priest, and king. The three analogies help to re-imagine a concrete picture of priestly expectation for the ministry of the Word. It…

According to Clines, the theme of the Pentateuch is: The theme of the Pentateuch is the partial fulfilment – which implies also the partial non-fulfilment – of the promise to blessing of the patriarchs. The promise or blessing is both the divine initiative in a world where human initiatives always lead to disaster, and are an affirmation of the primal divine intentions for humanity. The promise has three elements: posterity, divine human relationship, and land. The posterity-element is…

A Mizo saying, ‘khuang lova chai ang’, which translates to, ‘(this is) similar to merriment without a drum’, is used to describe an incomplete, poorly or half heartedly organised occasion (Lalpekhlua 2007: 195). Similarly, Lawmsanga (2010: 102) refers to another saying that a worship session without the presence of a khuang is ‘like food without salt’. Since its humble inception in church services in the revival of 1919, the khuang has continued to augment its necessity as the dominating factor…

filled out a card with my information and the pastor called me and said that he could fill me with the Holy Spirit. I was taken aback. A person can’t fill me with the Holy Spirit, only God can. Then he went on to say that the church lays hands on new members and once they speak in tongues then they will be invited to be active members. “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds…
