Resurrection

The idea of an evacuation heaven is that God is going to destroy the world so what we do on Earth besides saving souls is irrelevant. The idea of resurrection heaven is that our world will not be destroyed but will become heaven through God’s transformative powers. This means that what I do now is important because it is going to last and not be destroyed. Jethani says, “The things we create and the…

implications, for not only does the Son achieve redemption but also the triune Godhead redeems humanity, and while the human person of Jesus feared the wrath of God, the will of the trinity ultimately completed its work in Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. Nyssan perfectly described the unity of God by restating Deuteronomy 6:4: “Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is one, even though the name of Godhead extends through the Holy Trinity,” which is to say that while the Lord is one, the…

For this question, I have picked the gospel of John. The book of John was written by Apostle John meaning “Yahweh has been gracious.” John was the youngest of Jesus’ apostles. The gospel of John was written around 80- 90A.D in the city of Ephesus. Ephesus by that time was the center of commerce and culture. The majority of John’s audience was no longer Jewish converts but rather people who lived in a world dominated by culture and thoughts of Greece and Rome. Apostle John sought to appeal to…

Throughout my relatively short life, the Gospel has been shared with me in several ways. No matter how it is shared, the same point remains at the center and that is that Christ died for me so that I can live the life that I live today. John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (KJV) Nevertheless, we in no way deserve this gift that God has bestowed upon us. All men are born with a…

Mark portrays a definitively more dynamic Jesus in his Gospel than the familiar teacher Matthew presented to us.The Gospel of Matthew was structured around his big sermons. The Gospel of Mark is structured as to make an action hero of Him. This Gospel uses the word “immediately” an astounding 42 times, especially near the beginning (1:10, 12, 18, 20, 21, 23, 28, 29, 30, 42, 43; 2:8, 12; 3:6; 4:5, 15, 16, 17, 29; 5:2, 29, 30, 42; 6:25, 27, 45, 50, 54; 7:25; 8:10; 9:15, 20, 24; 10:52;…

Apostle’s Creed is used in Christianity as the basic belief system. Furthermore, the basic system for beliefs for Christianity is written in the Apostles Creed. The Apostles Creed says “I believe in the Holy Ghost... The forgiveness of sins. The resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.…

Yes, I also agree Paul's tone is strong and angry. His upsetting with the Galatian believers reflects that he really cares about their faith and also the most important thing is that he cares about the pure faith in Christ not any other things. If he did not care about these people, he would not bother to write them the letter. And as our text book and prof. Jennings said, the whole point of Paul's argument is based on his sole focus on Christ alone, not something else. As prof. Jennings…

immorality, including adultery, homosexuality, and pornography” are to be strictly forbidden by those who attach themselves to the church (Article XV). The New Hampshire Confession of Faith sees the Lord’s supper as an emblem of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ,one that is “preceded…

According to David Wheeler, Evangelism was vital in the Early Church's, they were getting the message out about Jesus to everyone that would listen, mainly the unbelievers. The Early Church fathers understood the people were the church, not a building. The Early Church obligation was to contact individuals who didn't know Jesus. The Early Church commitment was to contact people who didn't know Jesus. Evangelism was what the first fathers were taught, The Great Commission, The Ten Commandments,…

In this section, I will introduce Irenaeus the person, his background, major work, and his knowledge of or at least a familiarity with Justin’s works, Ignatius’s works, Polycarp, and the Didache to show theological continuity in regards to the Eucharist. The introduction serves to place Irenaeus in his context and how his context influences his Eucharistic theology. Eucharistic Passages in Adversus Haereses In this section, I will analyze the Eucharistic passages in AH. I will evaluate…
