Bible at the Councel of Nicen it was given the position of first in order of Paul's epistles. The epistle was was penned by Paul to a Christian congregation in Rome. What is interesting is that unlike any of Paul's other epistles it was not written to a congregation that he himself started. But rather was written to a congregation in Rome that Paul had never met, for Paul had never been to Rome before he wrote this epistle. Another difference between the Book of Romans and the rest of Paul's…

Kayley Isaacson I am Paul, an apostle who earned this duty due to my experience with Jesus Christ (1:1). I was sent by the blessed and wonderful Jesus Christ and God the Father who have saved both you and me.

There are no other gospels, however some of you are getting confused about the gospel of Christ. If someone proclaims a false…
A response to Pandemonium and Silence at Corinth written by Richard and Catherine Clark Kroeger. I found the introduction quite interesting and informative. “Although we may idealize the early church, most of us would not have enjoyed a visit to a worship service at Corinth. The impression which one was most likely to receive was that of chaos and delirious insanity” (pandemonium and Silence at Corinth). The author uses 1 Corinthians 14:23, NEB which backs up their statement and what they said…
The Romans Road The Romans Road is a method of sharing the gospel through bible verses from the book of Romans which logically lay out God’s plan of salvation for mankind. This simple yet effective evangelistic method clearly explains why mankind needs salvation, how God provides salvation through his son Jesus Christ, how unbelievers receive salvation, and what outcomes salvation has on the life of a believer. (Christy, 2012) Evangelists following this method begin with stating that all men…
of Jerusalem and Paul/Saul has been my main topic of learning this term. For my assessment I have chosen to go deeper into the knowledge of Saint Paul. Saint Paul was born in AD 8. This was roughly the same time as Jesus Christ. He was then known as Saul and he was a Jew. In AD 21 at the age of 12 or 13 Paul was educated by Rabbi Gamaliel in Jerusalem. Paul had despised Christians and watched over as people killed innocent Christians. In AD 32 or 36 on the road to Damascus Paul had his…

Paul’s Thorn in the Flesh There have been many thoughts as to what Paul meant by thorn in the flesh, numerous thoughts advocated that it is impossible to determine Paul's condition with complete accuracy. Most people believe it was a physical disorder seems more likely, unfortunately the lack of details makes it impossible to make to determine the complaint of the thorn. Paul states, unless I should be exalted above measure though an abundance of revelations there was given me a messenger of…
