We can call it, spiritual death, commitment, repentance or being saved, but are you born again? God saw we were spiritually dead and through Jesus Christ He provided us a way back into a relationship with him. (Rice, p. 21, 1991) states, for by nature we are so dead , blind and perverse, that neither can we feel when we are pricked nor see the will of God when it is reveal unless the Spirit of the Lord Jesus quicken that which is dead.. When a man name Nicodemus came to Jesus in the night…

NT2200-Week Five-Interpretation of Paul 's letters Response During the early church, Paul’s influence was overwhelming and impacted many religions, even those who preached another gospel such as the Gnostics. The Gnostics did not believe Christ was a man or that God would fashion Himself in the flesh. They taught that “salvation comes by renewing of the mind” and used Paul’s writings to justify their false and heretic teaching. According to Capes, Reeves, & Richards (2007), “Irenaeus (c. A.D.…

Christianity and Islam are some of the most well-known religions in the world, and often thought of as completely separate. However, in actuality, they share as many resemblances as they do distinctions. Islam’s beginnings came about before Christianity. Christianity was created after Jesus came to the earth. Thus, Christianity was founded a couple centuries after Abraham formed his family. Christianity is a religion that bases its teachings on the those of Jesus Christ. Whereas, Islam is a…

In the beginning of early church history, different perspectives were addressed based on the Christological view and deity of Christ. The early western church fathers played a significant role in this era. The bishops of the church would meet together to discuss and debate their views and attempt to resolve the issues involving church doctrine. The texts of “Reading in Christian Thought” by Hugh Kerr, “Pocket History of the Church” by D. Jeffrey Bingham and “A Concise History of Christian…

Arius is one of the most pivotal figures in the development of Christian thought. This is quite a statement because Arius is most definitely a heretic. However, this does not mean he was a bad person by any means. Instead, it means that his theology does not line up with what is now considered to be orthodoxy. Still, the reason this orthodoxy was established was due to the Council of Nicaea in 325, which occurred to establish if Arius, and the other members of the Unbegotten Father line of…

A Desire of the Heart Shirley and I were married between the Arts and Theology years of university so our financial resources were very tight. I was working on a tree nursery farm just south of Winnipeg for the summer months between semesters as well as preparing for a move to seminary in Saskatoon. As a result, we could not afford to take off more time than a four-day weekend. This was hardly enough time for my face to heal from all the mosquito bites I had acquired while riding a tree planter…

The major religions of Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam developed practices and beliefs that have been passed down and carried on throughout thousands of years. Working and evolving together, these religions have developed our world into a more varying and divergent place. Many of these religions have much in common, but several do not, and because of that, people can choose a religion that best fits who they are or who they want to be. Born the son of a respected family,…

This course is different to those being taught at that time. We investigated the latest and most radical archaeology which proved the historical accuracy of the Bible, even though written by a non-Christian. David Rohl radically reshaped the history of Israel in his book ‘A Test Of Time.’1 Rohl questioned the false basis for the timeline of Egyptian kings and in doing so he swept away hundreds of years of unbelief. I dared to teach this radical stuff to my pupils. I dared to teach that the…

Introduction The most effective approach to counseling anyone, whether that is in a business office or a counselling room, is to reach the entire person holistically. The person’s mind, body and spirit are all interconnected and a problem cannot be resolved until it is approached through all parts. Often, counselors want to “fix” the problem that a person is dealing with, like depression, by giving them medicine and “curing” the actions of being depressed without rooting out the source of the…

Jesus exhibited a staunch devotion to the Father and submitted to His will perfectly, even during, His brutal and unjust death. As a child, Jesus at the young age of twelve, understood the importance of being about His Father’s business despite the expectations of others, including His earthly parents. After a feast, upon heading home, Joseph and Mary searched and searched for Him and finally found that He had stayed behind and He was in the temple listening to and asking questions of the…
