Paul’s distinctive contribution to Christianity is his heresy- the doctrine of salvation by faith. A salvation available not just to the descendants of Abraham, but to the pagan, non-Jewish world as well. When he was writing to those in the Roman capital, Paul makes the declaration that proved to be the cornerstone of all his writings Romans 1:16-17, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel; it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, ‘The one who is righteous will live

Self improvement is defined as the improvement of one’s knowledge, status or character by one’s own efforts. Society has shown us the many different ways people improve their lives today. Any change, no matter how small can become a major factor in someones current or future life. Lets take Immigrants as an example of self improvement. People immigrate to the U.S in search for a better life and the pursuit of happiness. Once they have established themselves in this country of opportunity, immigrants are able to lay a strong foundation for their children and any other decedents in their generation. Being a first generation American child puts a lot responsibilities and expectations to deliver in a person. Relationships in first generation families often deteriorate because they are faced with a conflict between living up to standards, or living a double standard.

Growing up in America you get introduced and exposed to new ideas and cultures everyday. Especially living in Los Angeles which is a melting pot of many different cultures and beliefs. It’s difficult to think of a time I’ve had a problem or struggle with a new experience. However, I have had a minor struggle with the feeling acceptance in different cultures. Facing new experiences can be amazing and a way of learning new ideology and beliefs. Different cultures have many different ways of thinking and have different belief systems and it can be difficult to fit in properly. With the experiences I have faced I try to enjoy and respect them as much as possible but, there is still a small feeling of not truly fitting in. I’ve learned to overcome

As we analyze Paul’s rhetoric, there are a few perspectives that one can imitate from Paul’s model. First, some ministers of the gospel although they are not peasants they operate practically with a perception of limited good. It is often the case that ministry operates ecclesiastically and evangelistically as though ministry is a zero sum game. Ecclesiastically ministries within the church compete for already worn out over used leaders because we view them as a limited resource. Ministry fights within the churches often have nothing to do with theology, evangelism or service; the backbone of the church but are often based upon social dynamics. Envy is triggered if one person in ministry is “successful” because somehow that is interpreted as a loss for another. Even evangelistically, churches compete for members and converts as though there is a limit on the amount of unbelievers in their neighborhood rather than looking at it as Jesus did, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. (Mat

Christianity over the course of history has a vast influence on individuals, society and the way believers conduct themselves. It provides morals, practices and ethics that every Christian attempts to live by. Throughout the many denominations in the Christian church, Paul of Tarsus had a significant influence on the faith. His contribution to the development and expression of Christianity is immense and can be seen to stem from his writing and missionary journeys which have implemented his ideas and interpretations onto the development of Christianity. After Jesus, Paul was arguably the most significant figure in Christianity as his teachings form a significant part of the New Testament. Like may other Pharisees of that time in history, Paul sought to suppress the early Christian movement. He accused early Christians of blaspheming against God and breaking Mosaic Law. However, Paul had a life-changing experience when he had a vision of Jesus, and he spent the remainder of his life as a missionary for the early church. Centuries after his ministry, his teachings still influence Christian theology.

In this passage of the second letter to the Corinthians, Paul addresses several concerns. He is addressing the situation of a man who has sinned not only against himself, but against the Corinthian Church as well. He explains why he wrote a letter rather than bringing sorrow upon them. Paul is sensitive to the Lord’s leading, and in love, writes to the church encouraging them to discipline this man in love for the purpose of restoring him. He urges the Corinthians to be obedient and love the man through forgiving and encouraging him. Paul shares with them his trust in the Lord for the outcome of this matter and how burdened he was for restoration to take place. He warns them of the need to not allow Satan a foothold through this

Paul now directing his attention to how we as Christians are to obey the governing authorities (President, police, all authority)

My generation describes that to be an American today you have to be born in America. My generation believes that you can't be an American if you were born in another country. You can be that's what makes America it's the ability to be able to come from where ever and try to get citizenship for our country. Some people of my generation even believe that you don't just have to be born in America to be an American you have to be white. That's why there are so many problems with building walls and keeping immigrants out and other things because people don't want them to be here.

Born Again shows aspects of rebellion, repentance, and change in a man’s life. It retells the story of the Watergate scandal, and what Chuck Colson experienced in this crisis. This book is probably one of the best books a Christian can read because it is a perfect example of what must stand when trials come ones way. The Bible says in Romans 5:3 “More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance.” Romans 5:3 directly relates to the book, Born Again, because it talks about the suffering and the endurance of a man.

Paul Washer sixth indictment, that he explained, is the ignorance regarding the nature of the Church. Paul told the audience that because of the lack of biblical preaching, the Church is filled up with wicked people identified with Christianity. Therefore, because of the bad apples in the group the others are affected and the name of God is blasphemed and people think that all Christians are terrible. Paul’s main goal, to explain about this subject, is the church is one. In my opinion, I agree with what he had to say due to experiences when going to church. I also believe that the church should view us as one

His entire character, values, and purpose was altered. When he met Christ he became new. "[Paul was] an intolerant, bitter, persecuting, religious bigot — proud and temperamental. After his conversion it pictures him as patient, kind, enduring, and self-sacrificing” (McDowell, 119).When he met Christ he became new.

For some background information on Paul. His original name was Sual in Hebrews announced in the new testaments. He was yoked to a rabbi so he can become a rabbi him self. Paul converted to christianity when he saw the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the road of Damascus. During his life he created three big ministries to travel through the Roman Empire, and he did this because he was planting churches. His goal was to preach to the new Christians the word of God, and to give encouragement. Paul started his mission because the Lord asked of him to do so, and so the Lord provided him with wisdom and strength to for fill his journey.
