Resurrection of Jesus

Introduction Who is Jesus? The answer is ultimately revealed in the highly controversial Matthew 16:13-20 passage through Peter’s confession and Jesus’ response. This paper, through careful analysis of the greek text and critical use of primary and secondary sources, draws out an exegesis of three essential themes found within the passage. Firstly, Peter’s confession of faith that Jesus is Messiah as being a fundamental basis for the building of a new community. Secondly, the highly debated…

Another similarity of Jim Casy and Jesus is that they are ready to go out and preach their beliefs through people with their faithful followers behind them (Fan 4). Jim Casy and Jesus Christ are very similar because they both sacrifice themselves for other’s suffering. For example, in order for a Christian to get baptized, they first have to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. In John 3:16, it states, “For God so loved the world, that…

easier to explain. There is a difference between the two and essential we understand. In this comparison we will see the difference teachings of Islam vs. Christianity. The essential teachings of Christianity brought on by Jesus, Peter and Paul. The New Testament is the teachings of Jesus. Christians believe Muhammed inspired the Qur’an and it is not scriptural.

not Jesus. Many in the Millenium generation would say they are boring, nothing new or out of the ordinary. According to Torrance, "Unitarian has no doctrine of the mediator or sole priesthood of Christ, is human-centered, has no proper doctrine of the Holy Spirit, is too often non-sacramental, and can engender weariness." (20) This worship is not Jesus oriented because it produces selfishness, worry, hopelessness, and unhappiness; all the opposite of Jesus character. The Bible says that Jesus…

Corinthian church in Greece that takes on both an admonishing and encouraging tone. Though there are many themes throughout this book, chapter 15 zooms in on one main topic: the resurrection. The church’s beliefs had started to become infused with the culture’s beliefs and they had begun to doubt the truth of the Resurrection. In this chapter, Paul tries to combat this, simultaneously answering several worldview questions. The first and most prominent worldview question we see in Paul’s letter…

As pointed, both the contemporary teachers of the Law and Jesus were very strict about adhering to the Mosaic laws, and neither of them would tolerate disobeying, bending, or misinterpreting them. However, Jesus was more about the real purpose of the Law, which as demonstrated in his sermons throughout the Gospels, was more about becoming intimate with God and being generous and compassionate to people around oneself. In fact, Jesus condemns some of the Pharisees as being brood of vipers, in…

read that it is a revelation of Jesus Christ. This signals one of two ideas. It could be taken as a revelation from Jesus Christ or as a revelation about Jesus Christ. So which is it? I believe it is both. In the book of Revelation, Jesus is portrayed as the Revealer. Revelation 1:1 tells us that God the Father gave this book to Jesus, who in turn gave it to an angel who gave it to John. Later in chapters 2 and 3, the messages given to the seven churches are by Jesus Christ, who reveals Himself…
