My View Of Christianity Changed At All Over The Course Of This Quarter?

I was overwhelmed by the magnitude of the decision set before me. Well, maybe overwhelmed is the wrong word; more like scared shitless, although I later learned scared shitless isn’t the proper term. You see, “Mature” Christians call it, being convicted by the holy spirit. Which, oddly enough, is God and Jesus all rolled into one, but that is a theological discussion for another day, right now we’re talking about my childhood conversion. So, call it what you will, I was scared shitless! Now let me see if I can set the scene for you, and remember I was only thirteen year old, I knew nothing of life, much less the “lofty” concepts of original sin and redemption. It all seems so inane now, but when you’re a kid critical reasoning isn’t part of your skill set, and unfortunately, it hasn’t made it’s way into many adults tool boxes either. So, after sitting through a classic hellfire and brimstone sermon

Christians are starting to feel as if the Old Testament is outdated and that they should focus more on the New Testament. Not knowing that Jesus taught out of the Old Testament and quotes several scriptures from the Old Testament in the New Testament. There are several reasons why we should read the Old Testament. The Old Testament comes from God, it teaches us about God, it shows us our needs for a savior and the stories the Old Testament hold are examples for our own lives. We should read the Old Testament because it is the story of God’s interactions with the world.

Those readers who have attended Bible college or seminary will likely have used a New Testament or Old Testament introduction. Such books provide a survey of each book of the Bible, considering questions of date, authorship, occasion for writing, an outline and overview of the contents, and so forth. Such works, which are frequently academic in nature, typically give significant space to technical matters related to critical theories regarding date and authorship.

I do not think that my worldview has not changed at all since I started taking this class at GCU. I think that taking this class and brought me to know a lot more about my worldview. I also think that taking this class has taught me about the important people that had the same worldview as me. I loved taking this class to learn more about my worldview. I also liked learning about the different worldview that there were. I think that it is very interesting that there are that many different worldviews. There are some worldviews that are the very similar to my

However, the volume is not without a few very minor weaknesses. For one, chapter 6, entitled “The Importance of Paul’s Evidence,” when compared to the other chapters in the volume, comes across as lacking. Paul’s contribution to the New Testament documents is extensive and the lack of attention provided by Bruce in this book could leave some of the targeted audience wondering if the lack of attention is due to a lack of evidence. Ironically, in other instances he tends to overwhelm the reader with too much information that does not have historical value as far as proving the reliability of the New Testament documents. This is apparent in the chapter titled “The Writings of Luke,” when he describes Luke’s background. Finally, the only other negative the author of this review could come up with regarding this volume is somewhat of a selfish matter. After reading this volume one is left with the desire for more evidence. Due to the size of the volume Bruce is only able to scratch the surface in some

To say my faith life has been completely revamped in the last year would be an understatement. I had views and ideas about faith that seem somewhat vile to me know with the experiences I’ve had. From just lectures to the retreats my spiritual side has gone from that of a holiday catholic to a Campus Ministry Student. From little things to big ethic topics I’ve changed in a multitude of ways, my Spiritual Autobiography looks like looks like someone else wrote it compared to any year before it. I think faith is one of the most important aspects of our life and it took me until last year to realize it.

When studying the Bible, it is important to understand its origins; for me, I I have become enlightened, but troubled after learning about the subject. I found the unit, as a whole, very important and a positive experience for me. But, with this comes much apprehension and confusion as to the strength of the Bible.

This semester of Christian Worldview has been beneficial for me learning more about all different types of worldviews. I started this class with a Christian background but a clean slate of not knowing what my true worldview really was. As I went through the semester, I gained tons of new knowledge to help me understand how my opinions matched with the different worldviews.

Growing up and going to school at Conquering Word Christian Academy I never was the person to communicate with others in my school; teachers thought I had a problem but I believed that no one clearly understood me for who I was. I was only trying to protect myself from hurt and from people who told lies all the time but then I realized that not only was I lonely without any friends, but I actually was giving off a “leave me alone” facial expression. This made people move away from even trying to be my friend. I wanted to associate with people but thought no one would want to be bothered with me because of my attitude. Always being angry made other students in my class think of me as a careless person, but I was far from that. However, I never knew that my face expression would play a vital role in me not having friends to communicate with; but I knew I had to understand that what I thought was okay and just me, others felt otherwise and it was time for me to show a different side.

This week, I thought chapters 11-12: Christianity and the video you provided was very informative. The video gave me more insight about Christianity. I am very familiar with Christianity because this is my religion. Although this is my religion, I was surprised to learn some new things about Christianity. According to our textbook, Protestants disagree with Orthodox and Catholic Christians.

Furthermore, your statement that Christ came to this earth with the full understanding of the context of the scripture is profound. I agree with that statement completely. Also, how you defined inerrancy to be not merely about contextual facts but rather, that we believe the scripture is true through Faith. However, I feel the historical argument has some merit, because, it reflects that tradition within the church is evidence that the Bible is accurate. An example is how the church was extraordinary cautious about transcribing and copying the Bible. If just one word was off they would toss the entire copy and burn it. That is one of the reasons why I feel that the historical argument has some validity as a strong argument concerning biblical inerrancy. Thanks again for the insightful

During this video series, I have been able to better interpret the meaning behind the Gospels and understand better the early practices of Christianity. My faith is strengthened when I acquire scholarly information about Christianity; it is defiantly a positive impact. From another perspective, if someone had a strong opinion or prior knowledge about something to find out it was incorrect, that may be challenging at first for that person to accept the correct

With the Migration of Christianity to America from Europe many changes came about to form what we know as American Christianity. Mark A. Noll compares European Christianity to American Christianity in order to truly showcase the history and formation of American Christianity. He also compares early American Christianity to modern American Christianity as a tool to highlight the changes that occurred with the progress of time.

Paul’s letter to the Roman church has absolutely challenged the Jewish way of thinking that has existed for over 2000 years before the life, death, and resurrection of

I honestly can say I have grown as a writer over the years. Since the semester has started I feel like I have accomplished a lot in my writings. As the semester comes to an end I find myself reflecting not only how I have improved as a writer the first semester but also what I have learned. The most important thing I have learned so far is how to
