of the human race. Eventually, God gave His only son, Jesus Christ to die for the sins of humanity and to show victory over the devil in living beyond physical death. All of these events can be found in the documented word of God, the Holy Bible. Throughout this work of divine revelation the Old Testament and New Testament are closely related. Throughout the Old Testament, from the Beginning, Genesis, to before the birth of Jesus Christ, the New Testament is foreshadowed, and hidden; it is to be…
For several people, the ideas of death and god are very mystifying since many people believe once you’re dead you’re just dead that the idea of the afterlife is something we created to cope with the thought of death. The thought of the dead is very terrifying, however, people rely on their faith to help them conquer the ideas of death. Since the beginning of time, people have a lien on their faith and believing in a higher power will help people overcome devastation, grief, despair, and…
spoken of will be fulfilled in the end times coming of the Antichrist. This time is believed to happen just before the second advent of the Lord Jesus Christ. While others believe when Christ came the first time he fulfilled part of this prophesy by putting an end to the need for a sacrifice. The problem with this theory is that it has an end, “He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven”. In this statement it is saying that the peace that Christ will bring will only last for seven…
The book of Ephesians is one of the most popular and important books of the New Testament. It includes topics such as unity within the body of Christ, relationship of believers to God, the Church as a whole. It is the purpose of the writing to discuss briefly the context and theological importance of this book. The book of Ephesians was written most likely in Rome and likely between 60 or 61 A.D. It has been historically accepted that Paul wrote this letter perhaps as a circulatory letter to…
He was a strong supporter of Zionism and a subscriber to early Millennialist thought set a standard for the future generations of Millennialists. His book Jesus is Coming published in 1908 outlines his theology surrounding the Millennium. He cites the Jewish Talmud, holding that, “the Millennium will be chiefly characterized by the deliverance of the Jews from all their enemies.” He also presents the post-Millennialist…
and that they raised to the same degree of honor, that they might be children of God and members of Christ and, finally, holy descendants of Abraham and a priestly and royal people.” There is no difference in the kingdom of God because those who believe in Christ became one body. This is why in (Gal. 3:28) Paul describes there is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female…you are one in Christ Jesus. The dialogue between Peter and others general council participants influenced Paul and…
symbolism and parallelism. The symbolisms and parallels tie the story to the story of Christ. Even the main characters symbolize main characters in the Bible. The Witch symbolizes the Devil, Edmund symbolizes the disciple Judas, and Aslan symbolizes Jesus Christ. Edmund, the Witch, and Aslan all symbolize someone or some concept in Christianity. Edmund is one of the four children that travel into Narnia. He is the second youngest and feel as though he does not receive the appreciation he…
As the first seal is open we observe a horseman on a white horse, I want you to think of the word Deception. Who is this rider on the white horse, unleashed on the earth at the beginning of the tribulation? Some say it is Jesus and his second coming. How can Jesus be in Heaven opening the seals and riding this white horse at the same time? This rider wears a “crown”; Jesus wears “many crowns”. This rider wears a “stephanos”, a victor’s crown. Jesus wears many “diadems”, the many crowns of the…

we are only to observe this memorial until Christ returns and he has already returned (according to this false teaching), then there is no need to continue this practice. However, the proponents of this teaching still partake of these emblems, proving the hypocrisy and error in this doctrine. Finally, this perverse interpretation of prophecy eliminates virtually all of the hope that is characteristic of Christianity. With no resurrection or second coming of the Lord in the future, what is there…
