The Docificiality Of Christ, Christianity, And The Bible

I believe this is one of the reasons Christianity thrived because people needed some shrivel of hope.

“Only in a world where faith is difficult can faith exist.” -Lee Strobel in The Case for Christ. This to me is a very interesting and profound quote. To the best of my ability I try to thinking logically. For in a world filled with people who are driven not because of reason, logic, or coming to a conclusion, more people need to be more intentional rather than the focus on just being louder. This 46 letter quote has challenged me more than most of the book.

The Christian religion finds its foundation on the Word of God and the work of Jesus Christ. Christianity finds its beginnings with Jesus Christ about 2,000 years ago. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came down to earth to teach, heal, and die for the sins of humanity. When God created man, he openly rebelled against God, causing a rift in their relationship. Since humans cannot save themselves, a perfect and completely innocent sacrifice was necessary in order to purify and restore mankind. Christianity is all about Jesus’ death and resurrection, as well as denying oneself and following Christ.

There are a lot of conspiracy theories to Jesus and all that he stands for. There are those who feel that he never existed, or that perhaps he did, but the things about him are made up. The Christian belief is that he did exist and that there is proof of the things that he did. However, there are still many who feel that mythical Jesus is just a story that is told.

Christianity is the most widely practiced religion in the world, with more than 2 billion followers. The Christian faith centers on beliefs regarding the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. According to the text, Jesus was born to a young Jewish virgin named Mary in the town of Bethlehem, south of Jerusalem in modern day Palestine. (Ancient History Encyclopedia) Christians believe his birth was a supernatural event, with God impregnating Mary through the Holy Spirit.

The Bible has never been wrong and has continued to show scholars that their theories are incorrect. After looking at all of these evidences and more, people are unable to say that the Bible is wrong and unreliable. It is has proven to be reliable in every evidence that they have tried to prove it wrong. Every evidence that scholars have tried to use to work against the Bible has crumbled and the Bible has come out of it strong and even more reliable than before. Therefore, the Bible is 100 percent true and reliable and it is based on the strongest foundation that Thomas Paine does not believe it has to back it

Overall, there seems to be a very high Christology in the New Testament. However, due to the various authors of the books that comprise the anthology, there is an inherent variation of the level of Christology found between the different books. In order to examine the Christology of a religious text, one must first understand the notion of Christology. Christology refers to the level of divinity that Jesus is portrayed to have, and can be understood as a spectrum with an extremely high Christology at one end and an extremely low Christology at the other. The highest possible Christology refers to texts in which Jesus is described at being equal to God, while the lowest possible Christology refers to texts in which Jesus is described as being completely human. These extremes are typically never fully realized in the New Testament; a position on the spectrum between them is usually taken. When analyzing the Christology of the Gospel of Mark, the Book of Revelation, and the Pauline Epistles, it becomes apparent that there is in fact a difference in the Christology of the three. Mark seems to have a lower Christology than the Pauline Epistles, which have a lower Christology than the book of Revelation, which has a very high Christology.

"You can 't trust the Bible. I 's full of all kinds of contradictions and errors". This is a very common charge made against the Bible today. You may have heard this kind of thing from a friend or coworker. Maybe you have even heard this kind of things stated on TV, but is it true? Is the Bible an unreliable book full of errors and contradictions? To answer this question let us look at some of the more commonly cited proofs for this assertion.

There are two distinctive approaches to examining Jesus’ these include Christology “from below” and Christology “from above”. Christology “from above” emphasizes the divinity of Jesus Christ and his sacrificial death on the cross, and begins with the divinity of the word that descends into the human world. Whilst on the opposing hand Christology “from below” begins with the humanity of Jesus in his cultural heritage and history and speaks of Christ as an earthly human being. Wesley Wildman (2007) gives a number of terminologies for these two distinct approaches explaining the two phases as Christology of sight (below) versus Christology of belief (above) (Wildman, 2007). I strongly believe the field of Christology needs perspectives from both approaches; each approach can be criticized and commended and will each be looked at in further detail.

have gone. Locked in the dungeon, shrouded in an all-consuming cold where you will remain until you have paid your full price. Your reward will not be what you expect, but will be what you have earned. You cared not to listen to me. You can listen to the silence of darkness and the weeping and gnashing of teeth. You dwell in confidence now, but you will be left with only sorrow, and you will be filled with dreams of what could have been. All the preparations and schemes were not enough to save you from meeting your end and being destroyed. You took pleasure in adding imaginary winnings and dreamed of a boundless victory you can never have. You received strength in what you believed would be your reward, but you only deluded yourselves.

The bible can be read in lite of three elements, which are historical, literary, and theological ways. Historical evidence method relies on archeological evidence, things like old manuscripts or settlements. Historical evidence looks at past events, asking the question why things happened the way they did. In regards to the bible, it asks “How the bible came to be?”. We can answer these kinds of questions with evidence from the past, they would need to be old. Old evidence would give it credibility because it would not make sense for a manuscript to be modern.

Throughout history, Jesus Christ has conjured up more emotion in people than any other person. Some people use His name as a curse word or others in a loving endearment. People have either hated Him or loved Him, many have given their all for Him: their life. Countless wars have been fought over Him. Many people try to deny that He ever existed. Others say He was just a prophet. Others call Him their Savior. Without a doubt, Jesus Christ is one of the most influential and controversial person in history; He plays a different role in each person’s life, whether they’re a follower or not. Jesus Christ used His popularity and righteousness to gain support and followers during his lifetime; then, His followers, or disciples, used the words that He talked of and shared to write the Bible, which is one of the key reasons why Jesus is still one of the most influential people in the present day world.

Another major challenge against Christianity is that the documents are contradictory and were written decades after the events (Ford, 2015). In reality, the documents are not contradictory, they are merely different versions of the same event. The natural differences in the documents don’t mean that they are contradictory. The personal touch of each author is responsible for the slight variations in the document. When taken as a whole, all the documents on one event has the same overall plot. For example, Christ’s resurrection is reported in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John and evidently there are several discrepancies among the four accounts. Matthew claims that the women came to tomb as it “began to dawn,” while Mark and Luke claims that the

This topic has been studied on for a long period of time already. Thus, resulting to a lot of articles on the internet or in books that prove that the Bible really is reliable. Despite it being about thousands and thousands of years old, it is still consistent and very up to date.

All the scriptures in the Bible were inspiration from God, therefore, the Bible could not be full of mistakes. Since the Bible contains the words of God it must
