Paul on How to Get to Heaven

In the Christian community, every single person plays an important role in making the community as safe and caring as possible. One of the most vital beliefs of a Christian is that we are all equal, so we when we are called to serve and help each other, we should obey. This call, although we may hear it at different times and see it in different ways, the call comes to everyone. We may have different understanding of the call, or we may even conflicting ideas of how to answer this call, but in the end, every single idea is important.

As a church we have misappropriated the level of judgement dispensed. We understand that all have sinned and that true discipleship requires accountability and discipline, however, the indubitable level must be delivered in a humble and nonjudgemental manner. We must realize the greatest impact for change is empathy, compassion and action. The only way to ensure the action is effective, one must first hear what the people feel as though their issues are. Next we must remove ourselves from a hypocritical place of judgement so that we can full understand and

Society neglects the ability for humans to see actual truths and purpose in their lives, which makes it easy for them to think about themselves and only want to fulfill their own personal desires. These personal desires are contrary to the teachings of Jesus, which includes loving your neighbor, compassion for others, and the desire to serve. Humans in the words of Pedro Arrupe must, “live not for themselves but for God and his Christ Following the teachings of Jesus” (Arrupe 1). Doing this makes one

and all are to bear one another's burden thereby fulfilling the law of Christ. At the same time, each

Our Lord warned his disciples to prepare for persecution to avoid anything that would give an advantage to their enemies, there could be no interferance with worldly concerns or even the appearance of selfishness and evil at all measures. Christ foretold troubles, so that the troubles would not be a surprise, to His disciples, but that they might "affirm and bring to light their faith!"

The authors presented the Christian responsibility for witnessing along with the lost individual’s need to hear the message. The point was well articulated that Christians should live in obedience to God’s Word, to receive strength and understanding through the Holy Spirit.

Paul leaves the elevator, and as he walks down the hallway toward his apartment the song "A Spoonful of Sugar" becomes louder and louder.

Believers should leave behind further thought about Christ and to instead, focus on his teachings of good morals. “He bound the strong man, and set free the weak, and endowed His own handiwork with salvation, by destroying sin, [pg.

It is in these situations we have to determine our response to righteous living. We must do as Paul instructed the Corinthians and consider the effect of our behavior on our neighbor. Will our actions be a stumbling block to hinder someone from finding salvation through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?

1. Paul’s “impaired vision” is ironic because he can see what others cannot even though he is legally blind. First of all, Paul can see how Erik is a very dangerous kid. Paul sees Erik as a dangerous kid because Erik is always making fun of his friends. Erik is dangerous because he has anger problems and has been terrorizing Paul his whole life. When Erik is around adults however, he acts like a normal child. The side that his parents try to see in him. Furthermore, Paul can see the osprey. Most people besides Paul who live in Lake Windsor Downs see the Osprey as just birds. But, Paul sees them as the reason that all the koi fish in the lake are disappearing. Others think that the fish are being stolen. Paul sees it in a different way the everyone else. Finally, Paul can also see his father like know one else. Everyone around Paul sees Mr. Fisher as a hardworking man who supports his family. Paul sees his dad as a man who only cares about his older son, Erik and his football dream. Paul’s dad is so concerned about Erik that he doesn’t even know what position he plays in soccer.

Because mankind was made in God’s image, Christians aspire to follow the footsteps of Jesus as he leads the pathway to the Kingdom of God. So just as Jesus, “healed the leper, the paralyzed, the blind, the deaf, and many who suffer from many diseases,” followers of the gospel are called to “pass through this world doing good.” Not only did Jesus heal, but he turned it around and allowed the once sick to heal. They became “agents of healing and invited to be agents of their own destiny” (Saying and Showing, pg. 31). And as Christians, the gospel calls them to do the same, focusing their attention to the “most abandoned and mistreated” and help bring them to be a part of society.

Somebody once said “Love is proved by deeds!” – in the moment of death, in crisis, and feeling hopeless, most of Jesus disciples were somewhere else. Only these very few stayed until the end.

Pauls first mission was when he left Damascus by himself after meeting with Jesus. The second journey was when he went into Greece where he establishes the first church at Philippi. His third journey was when he went back to Greece and Asia. Doing this time he learns of many different religious pluralisms and many different religions.

Paul has never been to a museum before,so he didn’t quite know what to expect. That's why he was to surprised when one of the status leaned over and whispers. Then paul got very scared because the t-rex started chasing him and paul went crazy he went so crazy he thought every statue was chasing him and he was crying and crying he looked like rudolph the rednose reindeer, he was running so fast you could just see the gleem of light that came of his shirt. He threw chairs,pens,and even his shoes

Whatever tales may have spun out of the antiquity of time, Jesus was not the initiator of Christianity as we know it. The division between Jews and Christians did not begin with the death of Christ. Indeed, many of his teachings have been lost forever for none of his disciples ever wrote a single word down. Although this religion, established solidly upon this man, does not even regard Jesus in most of the New Testament (Collier). The man behind the curtain, the usurper, and divider was an Apostle who never met Christ. In fact, he twisted and filled his letters to the Corinthians, Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, and Philippians with thoughts and quotes from Jesus that filled his own idea of what form Christianity should take. The Apostle Paul was that man.
