Spirit

The Holy Spirit does not belong to us Christian and is not trapped in our hearts or in our church. We want to know who the Holy Spirit is we have to look first at Jesus of Nazareth. Peter later summed up his whole story by proclaiming Jesus as one whom God anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power (Acts 10:38). The Gospels teach us to think of him also as a human being who at every point in his life in everything he said and did was filled led inspired and empowered by God 's Holy Spirit look…

When reading paragraph six what stood out most was the emphasis on the sacrament of the Eucharist being the essential part of the Catholic faith. The Church is built upon the foundation of Christ’s sacrifice which is made eternal through the Eucharist. One has their faith because of their belief in the Eucharist, “Faith and the Sacraments are two complementary aspects of ecclesial life” (Sacramentum Caritatis Paragraph 6). The Eucharist enables one to grow in faith and it is because of faith…

Oppenheimer (2013)10 provides opposing views to female leadership as a ruling position. He states that a woman can be ordained a deaconess if she is faithful and holy, for the ministries toward women. Furthermore, that position is one strictly of service and women can teach younger women, but is not a ruling position.10 He also referenced a letter that Pliny wrote to the Roman emperor Trajan in which he mentions deaconesses in the Eastern churches. Oppenheimer admits there are references in…

This timing made me think that the deceased grandmother was the same female person as the spirit haunting 124. However, when Denver says, “for a baby she throws a powerful spell,” the author clarifies that the characters must have been talking about an actual dead baby; the grandmother was still very much alive, albeit on her deathbed. My realization, however, led me to question why a female baby’s spirit would be haunting the house, it being an unlikely “boogie man” at not yet two-years-old.…

Pentecostalism is not a church in itself, but it is a movement that includes many different churches incorporating the gifts of the Holy Spirit as a normal part of the “Full Gospel”. The Pentacostal movement began around 1901, a time when church officials declared that the church had gotten way from the bible being understood in a literal sense and started believing the Word of God to be taken in a figurative sense, instead. Freeonlinebible.org states that upon its emerging in the early…

convictions all the more nearly look like the polytheistic/henotheistic convictions of the Jehovah 's Witnesses and Mormons. Mormon principle holds that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three separate Gods in authority over this world. Jehovah 's Witnesses trust that Jehovah God made Jesus – a lesser god, and that the Holy Spirit is essentially Jehovah 's dynamic drive in this world. These convictions are nearer to the old pagan convictions than is the Trinity doctrine, which is entirely…

the concept of the Trinity, which is a certain train of thought that allows Christians to understand the relationship between God’s three entities: father, son, Holy Spirit. This paper ask, why did Christians choose to develop and believe in the Trinity. How they had to think of a way to describe God as the creator, human, and Spirit. Focusing on how other religious groups tried and failed to describe what role Jesus plays in their religion. This paper provides background on how each of the…

The trinity is made up of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Many people question why God the Father is the first person that makes up the trinity. The three reasons we learned in class why Father is first in the trinity is: if there is a son then there is a father, Jesus called God the Father “Father”, and God the Father has many characteristics of fatherhood. The Trinity started with God the Father and life starts with a “Father” and we are his children whom he made us all equal and all in…

the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." Romans 10:2 says, "For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge." The Holy Spirit, Jesus, and the Father not necessarily in that order are the Trinity, and the Trinity used interchangeably, and the Holy Spirit suppose to dwell in the believer. Because the Holy Spirit dwells in a believer, then wherever the person goes and partakes, the Holy Spirit should be…

I believe that Pastor Baart would agree with Colson when he says, “…serious Christians actually live happier, more fulfilled, and more productive lives by almost every measure.” I believe that Pastor Baart would agree with Colson because in all three chapters he provides evidence for why the life of a true Christian is the happiest, most fulfilled, and most productive. Pastor Baart does so by establishing our identity and purpose, the identity and purpose of each person in the trinity, and the…
