Pathophysiology Of Jesus

In chapter 5 of Jesus Behaving Badly, Mark Strauss addresses the facts about salvation and what it is. In this book, it highly talks about the term “salvation” because it’s a gift from God. To receive this, we must let God into our lives and see what he has planned for us, but what’s good about this is it’s free and we don’t have to buy anything.

“The Word” refers to Jesus in his pre-human state. This passage shows that Jesus was the first creation because it says that Jesus was with God in the beginning. The passage also calls Jesus “a god”, but this is not to be taken literally. Rather the words “a god” are used as a term of honor and approval (Reichert 8).

In Chapter 3 of Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis says that if we do not really know what the gospel is then we will find ourselves having to explain Christianity. Instead of reaching out to people and showing Jesus, we put all our time and effort into defending our religion. It is like we are on teams and we try to get the most people on our side so we have the biggest team. Medearis put it like this, “In a way, we’re drawing a line in the sand and telling people, “You’re on that side, and you need to believe what I’m telling you in order to cross the line. Once you cross it, you’re saved.” (p.45).This is the kind of mentality of salvation that was also referenced in the introduction to the book. Christians tend to treat salvation like a check

Jesus is the Word that God sent and the Word was God becoming man, which means that the Word of God is God himself. God worked through his son Jesus to make himself present to the people. Athanasius again turns to scripture to show that Jesus’ works were all part of God’s plan to save humanity. “If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me; but if I do, even if you don’t believe me, believe my works, that you might know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in

The Historical Jesus: Five Views edited by J.K Beilby and P.R Eddy is a most interesting book to say the least. This is a great book to be introduced into the world of the historical Jesus. Along with the editors we have five contributors hence the name “Five Views”. This includes Robert M. Price, J.D Crossan, Luke Timothy Johnson, D.G Dunn and Darrel L. Bock. Each contributor presents their own views of the historical Jesus presented in the gospels and what they believe.

John nine verses one through seven is the being of the grace giving and truth telling of Jesus in this section. When Jesus spoke with the man that was blind I believe he ministered to him and gave him a brief explanation of who he was. The disciples asked him if this man sinned from birth or did his parents sin? Jesus used the truth telling when he answered the disciples by saying this man didn't sin at birth and neither has his parents sinned. It also gives truth-telling by letting the disciples know that it was to give God the glory. Now for the grace-giving part of Jesus, is him giving the Blind man back his sight. The reason why this was grace-giving was because this man had been blind his whole life, but when he came in contact with Jesus, he showed him grace by healing him.

John Dominic Crossan is a well-renowned scholar of the historical Jesus, so one would expect his book to be full of some of the best scholarship on the topic. He provides a way to humanize Jesus and explain whom he was, and what his world looked like at the time. However, despite his ability to bring Jesus to life on the page, he skips over several large ideas, thus leaving much to be desired. While his book, Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography, does a good job as an introduction to the historical Jesus, it leaves the reader wanting more out of it than what he provided. This book review functions with two parts. In the first part, I discuss how Crossan seems to provide a shallow investigation on women and what they meant to Jesus and his followers.

John uses the word “logos” at the beginning of his gospel, which roughly translates in English to “the Word.” Our book takes this idea one step further by explaining that “Logos can mean anything from a divine utterance to the principle of cosmic reason that orders and governs the universe” (Harris, 2012: 231). This is to say that John connected Jesus to the Greek idea that He was there at the beginning of when the earth was created and given its form and order. This, therefore, also connects this entity of Jesus to that which was sitting on the right hand of God at the creation of the universe, as told to us in the first chapter of Genesis.

Two thousand years ago, the birth of Jesus, arguably the most influential man the world has ever seen, altered history forever. Christians know him as the Messiah, the son of God who came to save all of mankind, and for others, he may just be a great teacher and person of history. It is the latter that Reza Aslan attempts to shed an unbiased light on by comparing the Jesus that modern Christians believe in to the Jesus that Aslan believes would have fit into first-century Palestine: a violet revolutionary, dedicated to the eradication of the Roman government in Israel and the deposition of the rich priestly class. Aslan paints a portrayal of Jesus using knowledge of the time period, Scripture that has been taken out of context and misinterpreted, and most of all, the author’s imagination and powerful rhetoric to cover up his faulty argumentation. In his book Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth, Reza Aslan recreates an interesting but purely speculative image of the historical Jesus through exploring the political and social history of first-century Palestine, the life and teachings of Jesus, and the development of early Christianity.

Women played a most important role in early Christianity Women’s interaction with Jesus is very crucial roles within the life and teachings of Jesus. The resurrection of two people are restored to women, Nain to his unnamed mother (Luke 7:11-17), and Lazarus to Mary and Martha (John 11:1-44). Women attend to Jesus at the cross and are the first to see the resurrection of Jesus. More specifically Jesus infers there should be no hierarchy in Christian relationships (Matthew 20:25-26). Women also played a considerable role in the formation of the church. Many early churches were home churches and the environment was provided by the women. For example, Martha becomes a church leader by offering her house as a home church and by assisting in

“In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1 KJV). This familiar passage of scripture recorded in the Gospel of John indicates the deity and or preexistence of Jesus Christ prior to time as we know it and before the creation of earth. The strongest proof that the Lord Jesus Christ is God are the divine attributes, divine names, divine works, divine worship, divine claims and divine relationship ascribed to Him.

The main message of this gospel account is “Jesus is the Son who reveals His Father” to the world (Strauss, 2011, p. 7448). Jesus sees and has seen God as the Father (Strauss, 2011, p. 7448). Although, Jesus is a distinct entity from the Father, Jesus is fully and wholly God (Strauss, 2011, p. 7448). Furthermore, Jesus is the Word of God and the Father’s “self-revelation” (Strauss, 2011, p. 7448). Anyone who sees Jesus has seen the Father (Strauss, 2011, p. 7448).

On September 8, 2015, I have decided to interview my cousin Sally Chia about her relationship with Jesus. My cousin was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and is 28 years old. She currently lives in Las Vegas and works as a pharmacist. I chose to interview her because I figured she had a close relationship with Jesus. This is because when I was growing up she was the one who taught me about Jesus and his teachings. I have known my cousin Sally all my life, which is for about 14 years. During the interview I asked questions about her own personal relationship with God, and she answered my questions with great answers.

Throughout the book of John, Jesus did many signs and miracles. Through these signs, Jesus attempted to show both the multitudes as well as his disciples one small truth about Him—His is God. In this gospel, Jesus goes toe-to-toe with many of the Jewish spiritual leaders (i.e., Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes, etc.) in order to show the people who He truly is. Scholars disagree with how many Messianic signs Jesus performed, but one thing remains—every single sign pointed back to the fact that Jesus was who He claimed to be. The signs performed by Jesus show both the Israelites of old, as well as the people of today, that He is, indeed, God.
