Resurrection of Jesus

Christianity. Inclusivism has the belief that other religions may be able to be saved, even though not through Jesus Christ. Exclusivism regards one’s own religion as being the only true path to God. Miles writes that exclusivism is to “maintain on biblical and theological grounds that conscious faith in the gospel, defined as the good news of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as anticipated, developed and presented in Holy Scripture, is necessary for salvation.”[1]…

In what way was the social world of Jesus important to his life and teaching? The social world of Jesus was important to his life and teaching for several reasons. In order to understand his teachings, we must first identify certain aspects of the First Century Palestine. We must consider Jesus’ culture and the society in which he was raised. We must also acknowledge the Jewish religion and Jesus’ personal values that influenced who he was. Part of the process is to recognize and understand…

The Gospel of John is one of the four Gospels written to tell the story of Jesus’ life. Just as Matthew, Mark, and Luke have given their accounts of Jesus’ miracles so has John.

John 8: John 8 is going to show us a further conflict between Jesus, and the Judeans. While the initial conflict takes place between Jesus and the Pharisees, he will be attacked by a larger group of general Judeans (8:31). Chapter 8 represents the growing enmity between Jesus and people, other than the disciples, who have potential to follow him. He becomes more and more bold throughout the chapter, being able to confidently assert himself as a child of God, and not as an adversarial force…
