The Presence Of God : Christ, Holy Spirit, And Redemption

Fee completes his writings with his own conclusion: “The Spirit must be reinstated into the Trinity, where he has never been excluded in our creeds and liturgies, but has been practically excluded from the experienced life of the church.” Moreover, he argues that the very nature of the Triune God, as being three yet one, must become the character of the church both in its oneness and in its function, by the very application of the Spirit’s threefold work of the Trinity. Without this experience, the witness of the churches to the Resurrection today will remain generally ineffective in comparison with the witness of the early Christians, though they lived in a culture very similar to ours. As the title of Fee’s book emphasizes, we are meant to find God’s Spirit empowering for us in the present era while at the same time awaiting the consummation of Christ’s final return.

I have always struggled with understanding the ravishing love of God. Growing up, I constantly struggled with two demons: anxiety and depression. In isolation, everything was fine, I felt safe. As soon as something pushed me from the safety of solitude, Anxiety came. He nuzzled his dark face between my shoulder and neck. He forced my face onto his, so that my ear pressed painfully against his gray lips, the sound from his voice blocking out all other voices, including God’s.

In this paper, I will review Robert Gromacki’s book The Holy Spirit: Who He is, What He Does I will detail what I feel the book is about. I will emphasize various points given by the author that stood out to me. Finally, I will give my personal evaluation of the book.

The fundamental theme presented in chapter twenty five and twenty six of David W. Dorries book Spirit Filled Christology maintains that Jesus came, not only as a pathway for salvation, but also to lead as an example of the Spirit’s movements and to empower His church with supernatural abilities to further the ministry that He began. In order to expound upon his statements, Dorries uses historical context.

There are many different opinions as to what is true when it comes to religion. All over the globe, many diverse cultures look up and pray to a variety of gods or perhaps none whatsoever. Yet, how does one define what is existent? What is truly divine and worthy of the utmost worship and praise? As humans, we are limited to fully comprehending and understanding exactly who God is and what the afterlife looks like. This paper will discuss the aspects of the Christian faith viewing God, humanity, Jesus, Restoration and the Christian Worldview, as well as, a reflection of what I believe in my own personal life.

Prior to the twentieth century, theologians limited their discussion of Christ to the views set forth in their respective denominational or confessional traditions.” But, doubt that Christ in tradition was different from the actual Christ created a shift from metaphysical to historical Christology. This sparked the search for the historical Jesus in which two approaches, “Christology from Above” and “Christology from Below arose.

Later, Williams begins a dialogue about religion. The translated dialogue speaks firmly about the existence of the Christian god and the affirmation of those beliefs. The author is a clear devotee of Christianity. And although he

The word “trinity” is used to describe the relationship of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Though all three are used in scripture there is no description of the “trinity.” Throughout this paper the concept of the “trinity” will be examined. First, the paper will have a summary of relevant sections from three sources: the New Catholic Encyclopedia, the older Catholic Encyclopedia, and a peer-reviewed theological article from a contemporary journal. Two concise analyses will follow the summary. In the first analysis there will be a comparison between the older and newer Catholic encyclopedias to see how over time theological reflection has changed. In the second analysis there will be a comparison between the New Catholic Encyclopedia and a contemporary theological article to show the differences between the two theological perspectives.

"The presence of God does not consist in thinking of Him but in a sense of His presence in every occupation” Fr Tenison Woods lived by this quote throughout all of his occupations.

5) Preaching mediates not only God’s authority, but also His presence and His power….. (Hamilton).

In this paper I will discuss the following three topics; why are personal testimonies important in sharing the gospel, if a person is a Christian does it matter how they live their life, and does it matter if Jesus was raised bodily or is spiritual resurrection sufficient. I believe that these are three very important questions in theology. The answers to these questions explain why we believe what we believe and why we as Christians practice the way that we do.

When this man is calling out to his god to notice him, he’s looking for his god’s acknowledgment of every action that takes. As his god does respond, the man’s faith can be reassured, at the same time his god doesn’t have always to answer his
