New Testament view on Jesus' life

Through all religions though many differentiate in ways of practice, rituals, and other dynamics all have one thing in common, a deity or deities that guide them through everyday life. A deity (or more commonly known as a god) is, by definition, a God, god, or goddess who seen as divine or sacred by the people of the religion. The deity/deities of a religion are usually the focus point of a religion. The deity/deities also typically give knowledge or advice to its followers by means of written…

different subjects, it does not just focus on Christ, like the four Gospels do, and Romans also does not just focus on the theology for Christians. The book of Romans covers a variety of things all surrounding the idea of the Good News of our freedom from sin through Jesus Christ. This idea of the Gospel should also be the base from which we build our biblical worldview, because the center of the Gospel is God and He is where we truly find our biblical worldview. If we stray from the Bible, we…

prefer “is that which animates a person’s life of faith to greater depths and perfection.” God calls, we respond. There are many examples of call-response accounts throughout the Old and New Testaments. In Exodus 3:10, God calls Moses to lead his chosen people out of Egypt, Moses responds. God called Moses to something greater, Moses responded and became known as the Lawgiver of Isreal. In Matthew 4:18-22, Jesus calls Simon to “Follow me”, Simon responds. Jesus called Simon, he responded…

Melanchthon writes, “To be justified does not mean than an ungodly man is made righteous, but that he is pronounced righteous in a forensic manner.” This definition, birthed in the Reformation, contrasted the Augustinian view which, according to McGrath, was a an “internal righteousness, something God works within us.” Calvin, who viewed justification as a benefit of one’s union with Christ, states that justification is “the acceptance with which God receives us into his…

Afterlife dreamt about is synonymous to the Christian belief of heaven for those who were good or hell for those who are bad. To pass onto the afterlife required weighing of the heart which symbolises moral righteousness. If the person lived a sin free life, his heart will weigh the same as the ma’at feather and he would be allowed to pass on to the afterlife but if he did not pass the test of righteousness, he was devoured by the demon Ammut into oblivion. However, Christian believe that they…

Jesus then tells John to write down everything he sees and hears and to give it to the Seven Churches of Asia. Each church would get a special gift if they follow what John tells them. What John then describes afterwards is extremely confusing. Most likely it is a depiction of the end of the world. It could also be the depiction of events that took place before or after the time of this books publication. To continue with the description of the book, John opens seven seals. The first four seals…

goes against that, due in part to “how fast it was, no drama, down and dead, and how it was hard to feel anything but surprise” and how little they could be justified (17). Their deaths also act as a stark contrast to the death of Jesus Christ as told in the New Testament, further showing how Kiowa’s beliefs are being broken. Then there was Kiowa’s own death during the short story In The Field, where he drowns in a field of shit and Norman Bowker and the other soldiers are unable to save him in…

primary characteristic of the church, and to violate that unity, is to violate the essentials of Christian charity. Augustine argued that the Donatist notion that the sacraments administered by a sinful priest or bishop were invalid. He said that Jesus Christ is the source of any grace conveyed in sacramental actions. Therefore, even when a minister is guilty of the gravest sins, the effectiveness of the sacraments themselves remains unchanged 8. What were the main ideas of the monk Pelagius…

(if any) Pastor Russ Robinson and a member of his congregation, Dr. Eula Monroe gave a lecture about the foundation, practices and defining characteristics of the Southern Baptist church. Pastor Robinson used many scripture references from the New Testament to support his statements while Dr. Monroe shared personal experiences and testimony of her faith. They largely emphasized eight specific features of the Baptist church. First that all authority comes from the Holy Bible alone. It was also…

church has focused, almost solely in some cases, on the ministerial aspects of church administration, like administering supplies to the community, aid to the sick and shut in, and mission trips around the world. Moreover, books like The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren further challenge churches to ask questions like: “What’s our business?” and “How’s business?”3 with little or no attention given to the legal and fiscal aspects of church operations, like keeping adequate financial records or…
