Four Gospel Apostles Research Paper

The medieval period consisted of many techniques of artwork that inspired materials we use in present day. Not only are medieval techniques used to inspire present day art but architectural design, clothing and interior decorating also. Medieval artwork inspired concepts and techniques to portray symbolism and stories in other ways than just paint. So, what mediums were most common in medieval art? Some common mediums used during the medieval period were metalwork, gold rendering and jeweled settings. The Lindau Gospels Cover exemplifies these popular techniques and represents the Middle Ages artistry greatly.

Luke the Evangelist is quoted saying, “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” My door opened specifically at the age of five. When I was young, I was consistently at the doctor’s office or the hospital or the ER. The medical history is colorful and still progressing. However, the sicknesses I endured have assisted in shaping my personality and outlook as well as given insight on my future plans.

Today I am going to talk a little bit about the Christian Worldview. Religion can be a highly debated subject depending on who you talk to and the environment you are in. With so many different types of religion in the world today it can get confusing where you may fit in. In this paper I will be exploring some of the important elements of one of the more well known religions in the Christian Worldview to help you to understand why they believe what they believe.

It’s the day of the Holy Apostles track meet for my 8th grade year and the air was very brisk and breezy. The only running event I had for that day was the 800m race. I started running the 800m in 4th grade. It was my best race and the race I liked the most. I had never won the 800m against these schools before, and I definitely wasn’t expecting to win that day. My rivals in this race were from three other schools St. Leonards, St. Joan of Arc, and MQS . The girl from St. Leonards, Sydney Bartz, was a girl who I have beaten and have raced against since I was in 5th grade. My other two rivals were from St. Joan of Arc and MQS ,Zoey Goodman, who was the girl who I have been up against since 5th grade and I have never beaten her because she has

The earliest Christians did not have church building. They typically met in homes. (The first actual church building so far found is at Dura Europos on the Euphrates , dating about 231.). They did not have public ceremonies that would introduce them to the public, and they had no access to the mass media of their day. So, to understand the steady and diverse expansion, we can have a conversation, about the Apostle Paul, we don't run across many "big names" as missionaries in the first few hundred years of Christians history. Instead, the faith spread through a multitude of humble, ordinary believers whose names have been long forgotten.

Early Christianity had a lot to do with the transformation of Rome and posed a challenge to the Roman Empire. Christians were known as the enemy of Rome, primarily because they refused to worship the emperors as the embodiment of Rome’s Gods meaning they were denying his divinity and authority. The one whom the Christians worshiped had been declared a criminal, was tried and put to death the roman state.

To be a knight means that you have been assigned by a king or any other political, or religious leader, in our case the most high king, our lord Jesus Christ, to do a service. Our king, Jesus Christ, has called us, the knights of the Kingdom, to, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19).” This is our mission as Christians, no matter what denomination you are, you have been called by God to spread the gospel.

Do you ever feel like you have no one to comfort you? No one that cares which you could talk to? Come to Jesus, and have your burden lifted while it flies away. Jesus is the spirit that embraces your soul, him whom we cannot see, but yet we still acknowledge that he is there. He’s the friend who you can always trust, the parent that comforts you, the teacher that guides you, the song that sings to you, and the joy that makes you laugh. The word that is read to you, and the heartbeat, which your heart beats. To teenagers whom are losing faith, Christ can seem a million miles away or not here at all. Now and then, it may feel like endless nights of praying with no one to hear, but that is not true. Because he is not visible,

Jesus of Nazareth had twelve disciples throughout his public ministry. Of all of Jesus’ disciples, the greatest of them was Simon, later renamed Peter. Peter was the ‘Prince of the Apostles’. He held primacy over the other eleven apostles for various reasons.

Like most of the coasts in Victoria, the area nearby the Marine National Park of Twelve Apostles is significant because of the extensive use of the coastal aborigines. Quite a bit of significant indigenous cultural sites have been discovered along close by coasts such as stone artefact scatters and middens. Even though There have been no archaeological (very old, ancient) sites discovered, the national park local aboriginal communities still hold a powerful connection with The Twelve Apostles and nearby coasts.

The principles of discipleship can be found throughout the Bible. One of the ultimate goals of discipleship is to become more Christ like which makes Jesus's life and grace an excellent basis for discipleship. Jesus invested in twelve men, the first Disciples, and entrusted them to continue the process. Peter, James, and John were a part of Christ's inner circle and he fostered and encouraged an exalted spiritual life and growth in these three. Paul was a Pharisee who was murdering Christians and then his life was transformed and he became an apostle. He gave his life over to God's purpose not only in a broad perspective, bringing the Gospel to the Gentiles, but also personal. Timothy was a disciple of Paul; Paul was personally involved in Timothy's life. The Great Commission commands the Disciples, in Matthew 28:19, to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit". The Disciples followed the Great Commission and Christianity spread. Believers are meant to follow the

There are many different ways the Christian gospel is perceived in our culture. I believe that a lot of people perceive it as the truth and good news that Christianity is built on. I have also heard the impossible route, that there is no way that the gospel is possible. Some may believe that it is plausible, but still don’t fully believe in it. I think the one perception that stands out most in my mind that was from a friend, was that everyone who believes in Christianity is clinically insane and should be checked out by a doctor.

John the Evangelist employed the term Logos to describe Jesus as the Word of the invisible God who became man and dwelt among us (Jn 1:1-3,14). This dogma determined the direction of everything else in the Johannine Christology. Yet, it would seem that the evangelist took the concept logos from the ancient Greek philosophy according to which the cosmos is with no doubt governed by some power – Logos. Also, John’s conception of Christ was probably influenced by some Old Testament passages (cf. Robert S. BRUMBAUGH, “Logos”, in: Microsoft® Encarta® 2008. © 1993-2007 Microsoft Corporation (Software).

When looking at the relationship between John and the Synoptic Gospels, there are many differences. As there are many differences there are also a lot of similarities. The Synoptic Gospels include Matthew, Mark, and Luke. These Gospels have many commonalities like story lines, sequences, and wording as well. Because the Synoptic Gospels are similar should not lead the reader to believe that one is better or more meaningful than another.
