James. Son of Zebedee

John as we know today was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. He was also the brother of James, who was also an apostle. John was the son of Zeebee and of Salome. His father was a fisherman while living in Bethsaida in Galilee on the border of the lake Gennesareth. John's mother was one of many women who gave to the maintenance of Jesus Christ. John's parents were very good people, they loved God and his son. It is said that john and his brother James were fishing when Jesus came and chose them. They were soon known as the fishers of men. The John of whom I am talking about is John the Evangelist.

It can be seen through the first three Gospels that Nathanael’s name does not appear at all in any shape, form, or fashion. Yet it is commonly believed that Nathanel and Bartholomew are one in the same persons. The theory behind this logic derives from the fact that the Gospel of John

In James's time, it was a period where one of the most corrupt presidents of the century was in power and had high authority; Georges W. Bush. This resulted in the utter absence of spirituality and lead to brainwashing peoples' minds with false values and objectives/priorities. James lived in a rural middle class occupied area near Birmingham, Alabama. Life at the time was almost much about surviving, building careers, and taking care of meaningless responsibilities, very much comparable to today. Anyhow, life was often perceived as being very difficult and to have a normal secular life was perceived as too hard because everyone was so busy with competing against each other, trying to be better than the other and thinking that's all there is

Humanity consists of sinners and saints—those whom are not following Jesus Christ’s teachings and those who are. The apostle James shares the word of Christ with the people around him who are not living the teaching of Christ. James 5:1-12 thoroughly emphasizes the impact of God’s judgment on each individual, based on how each person lived. Furthermore, this passage explains vividly in great detail the consequences and judgment one will face on the day of the Lord’s return. James is warning the people what is to come if they continue to live they way they are. He is also giving hope to those who are following Christ.

Traveling from the church in Antioch to Jerusalem, Barnabas, Paul and Mark set out to spread the Gospel. "Both Acts 15 and Galatians 2:1-10 detail a meeting in Jerusalem. Although they are not identical, the overwhelming similarities suggest that both passages are indeed descriptions of the same event."

A Gospel is a religious document that describes Jesus’ life from when he was born, until death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus, himself, had 12 disciples, whom advised him and later grew to the name, ‘The 12 Apostles’. Those of whom Jesus’ call his Apostles (Students) were: Simon (Named Peter), Andrew (‘Peters’ brother), James (Son of Zamebee), John (James’ brother), Phillip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew (The Tax Collector), James (Son of Alphaeus), Thaddaeus, Simon (The Cananean) and lastly, Judas Iscariot. Of these Twelve Apostles, one presumably betrayed of lord. His name, Judas Iscariot. The Gospel of Judas, tell Judas’ accounts of what is going on through his point of view. It has been lost through time. But has been found. 1,600 years later in the caverns of Egypt.

From the very beginning of his childhood, King James was crowned King and his life was changed drastically from the rest of the children around his age. Later on in life, he became interested in writing, he started to write poetry and books on life and the struggles that he and some of his family members faced. He mostly wrote about how he had a special relationship with God from a special viewpoint (Butler). By writing the book about his relationship with God he became a soldier in God's army and was protected from any danger that the devil might bring him (Tyson). His writing made many people realize how good of a person he really is. Many of them say that King James is one of the

The purpose of this table is to provide a fairly complete list of the widely suggested parallels. Since a number of these parallels are still so weak, reflecting only some conceptual similarity or a single shared word, one may legitimately question whether they can offer any decisive evidence for clarifying the type of relationship between James and the supposed parallel synoptic traditions. Of the twenty-four parallels list only eight have strong parallels. It was only with the development of scholarship dealing with the source criticism of the gospels generally, and more specifically with the formulation of the Q hypothesis that a literary relationship between James and the hypothetical source of the double tradition material began to emerge.

The Gospel Of John 1. Who was John, and why was he qualified to write a book in the Bible? 1. John was a disciple of Jesus and wrote the Book of John (Strauss, 2011, 9083). He was qualified to write a book in the Bible because he held an “eyewitness testimony” of Jesus’ life and ministry and states so in his gospel (Strauss, 2011, 9083). John “provides many incidental details one would expect only from an eyewitness (2: 6; 5: 5; 18: 10, 15 – 16; 21: 11), is familiar with predestruction Jerusalem (5: 3; 9: 7; 10: 23; 18: 28; cf. 4: 5 – 6), and knows the traditions and customs of Palestinian Judaism (2: 6, 23; 6: 4; 7: 2, 37 – 39; 10: 22; 19: 14, 31)”

The book of James is not very tidy when it comes to fitting into any of the other genres of literature. Some consider it to more of a circular rather than an epistle and it is quite possible that both Paul and Peter had read the Epistle of James, at least there are several coincidences between them.7 Because it was written to such a broad audience and because it contains many references to the Old Testament, James hardly fits into any category very neatly. Therefore, it may be best to see James as a literary circular since it does not address any particular needs at a given moment. James was apparently teaching the victims of the Diaspora.

In the first paper, I made many connections between Matthew and James. I stated that James alluded to Matthew’s many teachings, but what I realized when

The book of James has created disputations amongst its readers for years. Like almost all of the New Testament writings, contemporary readers have questions about it origin, composition, and content. Also like most New Testament writings, there are multiple hypotheses that have been presented to answer each of these enquiries. For example, many scholars have suggested that it is the least Christian amongst all of the New Testament writings due to the fact that it only references the name of Jesus twice. This a particular point that I feel needs to be addressed when trying to understand James, and it is a point I will answer further while also trying to present information regarding other possible questions an individual may have while reading

To understand the correlation or the relationship between the New Testament Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, biblical scholars argued with a Synoptic Problem. The synoptic relationship consists of the “Two-Source Hypothesis, Griesbach, and Farrer. The Synoptic Problem define how these three gospels share similar commonalities and they speak verbatim in some passages of scripture, but still share the same meaning and facts. There are two key concepts that can be useful in this relationship of the Synoptic Problems, “The oral circulation of stories about Jesus prior to any written accounts and the artistry of the individual Gospel authors, each combining and reworking older source traditions in new ways.”

The synoptic gospels portray Jesus Christ in a comprehensive and authoritative manner. They offer a deeper truth about Christianity in addition to the biographic information regarding Jesus Christ, unlike other biblical books. Additionally, the authors of these books were all inspired by the Holy Spirit in order to come up with an exceptional perspective and account of Jesus. Equally, through the Holy Spirit, each author was able to provide gospel themes that were in tandem with the teachings and the philosophy of Jesus Christ. In essence, the gospels of Luke, Matthews, and Mark provide correlated information on the accounts and perceptions of Jesus, with John’s accounts differing slightly (Straus 2007, p.24). Moreover, the three gospels have

In the book of Hebrews, Jesus is mentioned several times. Yet, he is not mentioned under one name exclusively, instead Jesus is known as a forerunner, pioneer, son, and high priest. Christians are familiar with these titles, however many do not realize the underlying meaning of these names and the impact it makes. This paper will explore the usage of names in the Bible and the reasoning behind Jesus’s different titles, for each name Jesus is known by carries significance due to the true meaning behind it as it occurs several times throughout the course of Hebrews.
