Non-denominational Christianity

grouped together as each seems to branch off from the previous religion. Judaism is the oldest of the three and provides a good foundation for the other two. Christianity came second as a branch of Judaism. There are talks of Jesus and Abraham in the Islam religion showing that it is also a branch off of Judaism, however it isn’t tied into Christianity as much. Each of the three religions are monotheistic, they each worship a single god, the same god so it seems. If the three worship the same…

The experience in my life that’ has helped me is, I have been going to bible study at the Halsey Valley Victory House. Paul Estro leads the Bible stud there on Tuesday nights. We would discuss certain passages in the Bible. We would have discussions on what the Bible is saying to us. He would also have notes written out for us to follow him. If I did not understand what he was talking about, I would ask questions. When I was going there, I was learning more about the Bible. We would also take…

I often used to focus so much on myself when I shared my testimony, but over the past year I started to question why I did this. Over the years I have come to learn that my testimony is not about myself, but rather it testifies about the love, power and grace of the One who saved me, Jesus Christ. My salvation is fully reliant on Jesus and nothing I have done. I was raised by two Christian parents, who deeply love the Lord. This was truly a blessing in my life, as I was exposed to the Bible and…

Francois Fenelon’s life was marked by zealous devotion to the order, authority, and preservation of the Roman Catholic Church and this passion often led to many inconsistencies in his life and thinking.

As a young boy he entered the Jesuit College at Cahors, the continued his education at the Jesuit College du Plessis, and finished his theological training at the Seminary of St Sulpice.

When looking at who Jesus is according to a specific gospel it 's important to understand who wrote the piece and who it was written for. Mark’s Gospel was written in 65-70 CE, a time of persecution of Christians by Romans for their belief in Jesus. In Mark’s Gospel we see Jesus as healer and champion, suffering servant, and Messiah. In a time of persecution, it is no wonder that seeing Jesus as healer and champion appealed to the Christian audience. Throughout Mark’s Gospel we see evidence of…

Jesus Christ is God. As most of modern society knows, this statement is fundamental to the teachings of Christianity. Christians believe that the many prophecies of the Old Testament, such as, “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel,” are all fulfilled with the coming of Jesus, giving them evidence that Jesus is God (Isaiah 7:14). For Muslims though, putting Jesus on equal standing with God is considered…

Barth’s understanding of God’s being in act helps us strengthen the ontological basis of the Trinitarian atonement by reconstructing the notion of the triune God through the incarnation. As we have seen above, Barth conceives of God’s being in terms of act, not in terms of substance. Understanding God’s being in terms of substance often gives us complications to understand how the triune God works in eternity and in time without changing his substance. When it comes to the incarnation, this…

Church leaders and political leaders began to struggle over ultimate authority of Rome. The existing conflict between Christian leaders and monarchs prompted the first religious holy war. This arose when the Turks threatened to invade the Byzantine Empire and conquer Constantinople. Emperor of Byzantine Alexius I made a plea to Pope Urban II for troops from…

Research Paper: Second Vatican Council The Second Vatican Council began in 1962, and convened in 1965. In those brief three years, some of the Catholic Church’s long held traditions either changed or went away. For some it was the ushering in of the new era of a modern Catholicism. For others, it signaled the destruction of centuries of traditions, and the devaluation of some of the most sacred rituals. It is true that the heart of Catholic teachings were untouched, and that the beliefs that are…
