Various ones believe Jesus’ utmost Truth to the world regarding ‘His Father;’ occurs being related to Nicodemus, (John 3:1), a Pharisee and ruler of the Jews; [noteworthy, Nicodemus occurs as one of the numerous leaders that believed in Jesus, to the point of caring for Jesus’ body after His crucifixion (John 19:39-42)]. The Beginning and the End The book of John states regarding Jesus, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the…

Bible as the Word of God. The Bible is the authoritative document for faith and practices of believers as well as for the church. As a whole, the Bible explains God’s love for His people and creation (Hindson and Yates, 2012). A part of love is rebuking where necessary, instructing and guiding, and building up or rewarding when applicable. The Bible describes various instances of all these through the Old and New Testaments from King David being chosen as king because of a faithful heart to…

the preface to the Old Testament, he addresses mainly the people who are of the opinion that the Old Testament is no longer of any use to Christians when they have the New Testament. Luther, however, gently reminds readers that Jesus Himself referred to the Old Testament as “the Scripture” and told people of how the Old Testament pointed to His coming. Paul and Peter also encourage others to refer back to the Old Testament in their epistles. In short, Luther declares that the Old Testament…

Bible was encompassed from an Old and a New Testament. It is believed that followers of the Christian religion wrote the New Testament while the ancient Israelites wrote the Old Testament, which in turn is what they named the Hebrew Bible. Although Christians did not always see eye to eye with the view of the Jews and thus, chose to not conform to all their beliefs, Christians did in fact incorporate the Hebrew bible into the Christian Bible as what is now called the Old Testament. As a result…

for the living of our lives” and promotes the study of theology (Packer 19). Deeper knowledge of God would lead to fear of the Lord because God is not just the God of mercy, but also the judgment. There may be a spiritual gap in the lives of many believers because they lack Biblical understanding and the full picture of God. Therefore, the church should equip saints with theological knowledge and teach complete character of God, not just his “positive” sides. I. Biblical Analysis Packer’s first…

Among topics within the realm of the doctrine of God, God’s love holds significance for the believer and non-believer alike. At the heart of the debate is the immutability of God; which is the view that God is neither unchanged, no able to change regarding his characteristics and his nature. Kevin Vanhoozer relates the classical view of the immutability of God to his perfect, unchangeable characteristics. When referencing Augustine and St Thomas Aquinas, Vanhoozer states the doctrine of divine…

Francis Wayland’s Notes on the Principles and Practices of Baptist Churches is an extensive anthology of papers, essays, and instructions on Baptist faith and practice. The subjects of the work sprawl from specifically Baptist theological, ethical, and political commitments—i.e., principles—to concrete issues of polity, preaching, ordination, membership, theological curriculum, and sermon preparation—i.e., practices. What unites these essays, of course, is their Baptist distinctiveness, which,…

corrupted then it cannot be perfect. For the Jews of the Old Testament, righteousness was, contrary to popular belief, not brought upon by obeying the laws and statutes of God through prayer, sacrifice, and everyday life. These rule-based actions were simply methods by which people could live a holier life and remain close to the standard laid out for them, the one that showed very clearly the disparity between righteous living and sin. Even in Old Testament times the way to righteousness was…

Stedman puts it so beautifully, “there comes a time in each of our lives when we discover for ourselves that the ultimate refuge of any believer is in the Word of God, in what God has said.” God’s word can and should bring peace into everyday life. In the book, Treasures in the Psalms, by Henry M. Morris, he says, “yet, even in tumultuous circumstances the believer can pray to “the God of my life,” confident of His grace and…
