Second Coming of Christ

Lamentation over Christ. While analyzing these paintings from 1400 to 1600 it is obvious that many of these paintings have certain imagery that repeats itself and the different time periods also have distinct styles to them. With each time period the paintings composition, style, imagery, and meaning all affect the viewers emotions that the painting invokes and that was ultimately the artists goal, to not only tell the story of Christ but to make viewers really feel the story of Christ. Over 200…

The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints believe that their book of Mormons as one of their most valuable possessions. The Book of Mormon is the word of God; teaching parables and the belief in God like the bible does in the Christian faith based religion. Both the Bible and the Book of Mormon contain Gods guidance as revealed to the prophets as well as religious histories of different civilizations. While the Bible is written by the people of the land of Israel and surrounding areas,…

The Authentic Scripture In my understanding of the scripture, and its original form of the manuscripts, this is known as the inspired and infallible word of God. The Scripture is the product of the Holy Spirit divinely inspiring chosen men to write God’s desired message (2 Tim. 3:16-17 ESV). The bible holds the inspired words of God; it is consequently without error completely. The Scripture should only be used as an authentic source of God’s authority in all aspects of one’s life. The word…

The Christian understanding of the relationship to the Creator, comes from a self-revelation of a Trinitarian God through the Word, narrating the whole history of Israel and the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, basic stone in the search of Truth within the Church, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Albert Einstein wrote: “Science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind.” (Uršič). The human quest for meaning and purpose requires an interaction…

are losing faith in a certain area. Paul is encouraging the Christians to hold fast in their faith and to not give in to the ways of sin. God speaks through Paul in this book and tells the people of Thessalonica to hold fast in the faith in Jesus Christ, and good results will come their way. The main command of this book was to hold fast to what is good. In First Thessalonians Paul opens up Chapter four with encouraging the Christians of Thessalonica to not follow in the ways of sexual…

The political, religious, and social unrest of the Old World left many people hoping for a better life. In Beissel, this, and the disruptions in his personal life, likely shaped his idea Europe was approaching destruction and the Second Coming was at hand. He wrote, “For Europe the sun has set at bright midday. America sees a lily blooming.” Beissel was not alone in these beliefs. Pietist literature circulated in Europe and England endorsing the hope for a renewed Christianity waiting…

proposal. The MPA 608 correlates with Romans 12 the 10 Commandment are listed. We needed the guidance Needing Rules for living. The scripture leads us to coming up with a proposal. Coming up with a proposal to address IDD transition to the community was a bit of a challenge to me at first because I did not know where I wanted to go with the second phase of my research capstone. I had to decide where I wanted to go with this capstone. In Galatians 6: 9 it instructs us to not grow weary while…

of his letter up to this point Paul is laying out the implications of the present reality in relationship to the promised future experienced in Christ. Out of the experience of our present sufferings two realities become clear. First, is the eschatological implications of God’s active work on behalf of the believer through the Holy Spirit. And the second, is the perfecting work of the Holy Spirit as evidenced in verse 27 and the intercession of the Spirit for the…

Introduction The Christian Church began because people were willing to testify to what they had seen in the life and ministry of Jesus. The Gospel According to Mark bears witness to the ministry, passion and crucifixion of Christ. Interestingly, Mark is credited with creating the term “gospel,” demonstrating the mission of Jesus to preach the gospel of God. The evidence is extremely strong, based Christian testimony, that Mark is the author of this gospel. It has been assumed that the Mark who…

am I? When I read Tenny 's explanation of 'The Millennial Views ', I thought to myself what view am I? I also pondered, just how much do I really believe and understand the book of Revelation? First, I do believe it was a revelation from Jesus Christ which God gave to him. There are so many variations of what is the truth. However, God tells us at the beginning of Revelation that he is the author. Therefore, God is the author, Jesus is the Revelation and John is the literal writer. It is…
