Second Coming of Christ

We have studied many different topics, however the two topics that resonated with me were the “Gospel and the Sin Nature.” I was raised with Christian values and coming into this course, I felt I had a good grasp of what these topics meant, but I was mistaken. The topic I chose is about two men and the consequences they suffered as a result of their actions. “Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were…

Isaiah 28:9-13, the key to knowledge and understanding doctrine, these are the first principles when it come to “the oracles of God” (Hebrews 5:12). When you see preachers dropping the ball, ignoring this “key,” it is because they are still a babe in Christ, regardless of their…

I found the concept of the Cosmic Christ in chapter 5 of Jesus Through The Centuries quite intriguing. I always thought when people called Jesus the ‘Cosmic Christ’ it was in reference to his continued being and presence in the lives of his believers after his death.

It is the word of God, as well as the divine revelation and at the same…

Putney explains that the Church is the “seed, sign and instrument of the kingdom, distinct but indissolubly united to it and to Christ”. The church serves the kingdom by spreading through the world the gospel values which are the expression of the Kingdom and which help people to accept God’s plan”. The message of the church today is the message of the kingdom of God that is the salvation of liberation at every level of being (Disdar, 2014, 11). Putney (2008, p.9) argues that “we are to be…

This is important to the Catholic and Protestant belief in the means that the innocent are saved in the Second Coming. The Christian Bible states, “another book was opened, which is the book of life...
