The Teachings Of The Bible

Jesus questions all christians and non christians today, it's the same one He asked 2000 years ago, "Who do you say that I am?”. The Bible teaches that Jesus came to this world to save men from sin, Christians recognise Jesus as the Son of God who was sent by his Father to save mankind from death and sin. Jesus sets the perfect example for all Christians in todays society, he teaches the foundation of happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come. The gospel of Matthew demonstrates Jesus as a Messiah, how he will come as the suffering servant and lamb of God to bear the sins of the people. He is demonstrated as a teacher, Calling men and women alike to become more Godly every day. Also shown as a Saviour, not only for the Jews

My beliefs about the bible incorporate the written words which were inspired by God through the Holy Spirit to the human scribes as truth. To full understand the bible, one should understand the cultures of the people in the biblical world and their understanding and influences of the world around them. Scriptures are historical, narrative, and are factual. Some of the words transcribed by monks over the centuries may have lost some of the true meaning. The errors one find in the scriptures are from human error from transcribing to personal witnessing, as people tells a story from their own understanding. The prophets believed they were inspired by God and I believe, prophets were inspired by the Holy Spirit to write the Word of God.

The Roman period was stable when Jesus was born and the struggles of the Jews were mainly of their own hearts. The Greek background is important to the gospel because the Hellenistic culture paved the way for world-wide proclamation of God’s message of salvation. All of human history revolves around Jesus, the Person. The gospel of Matthew recorded Jesus as the King promised from God who shall rule forever over Israel. Matthew’s gospel contains references to the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies.

The Torah means many things. Basically, it refers to the Five Books of Moses, the Genesis, the Exodus, the Leviticus, the Numbers, and Deuteronomy. However, the “Torah” can also include all of Jewish law and tradition. To the Jewish, the Torah is a series of books on Jewish laws and teachings.

The historical Jesus has always been a fascinating character, one who has sparked controversy since the beginning of his time. For one, we have very little historical proof of the life of Jesus, just writing from “a Jewish Historian named Josephus, whose writing has been confirmed by archaeological studies.” (Fisher, 302). We also have writings about Jesus’ life, in particular all that can be found in the bible. One thing that is a constant mystery, that even the bible can’t fully answer, is the childhood of the historical Jesus. That is where the Infancy Gospel of Thomas comes into play, as it outlines his life as a child. The Infancy Gospel according to Thomas is believed to have been written sometime in the second century AD, with many believing it was written after The Gospel according to Luke. But, other scholars disagree with such findings. “Some scholars feel that its core may have been written even earlier than the canonical gospels.” (Fisher, 305). Regardless, it is important to note that this gospel didn’t make the canon and that many doubt these stories that are documented, ever existed. I think this gospel didn’t make the cannon because of how Jesus is portrayed, and how it doesn’t add up to the rest of the gospels. The Infancy Gospel of Thomas portrays Jesus as a fraction of his adult self, who’s disobedient, and an arrogant/stubborn kid who abuses his powers to upset those around him.

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 Gospels of the New Testament are more theological than biographical, which means that these Gospels are written more about the teaching of Jesus instead of Jesus himself. The Gospels focus on how Jesus passed along the knowledge he had. In the Gospels, they do state some information pertaining to Jesus's life such as: the birth place of Jesus, how he spent his childhood/adulthood, and so on. The key part of the Gospels is that they depicted Jesus as a charismatic teacher. The central theme of Jesus's teaching was the Kingdom of God. The way Jesus taught was through the parable form, it created images from everyday life. It is significant because Jesus was interacting and teaching ordinary people in the community. It was a way that Jesus could connect with the ordinary people and provide the knowledge of the Kingdom of the God. The significance of the his teaching of the Kingdom of God is when people understand and recognize God's sovereignty over the world and how people should response with love and fulfill to God's will.

Andrew, social dimension of sin is important, but I believe the Doctrine of the Bible had the most impact of changing and developing my position on theology. I believe everything falls under the Doctrine of the Bible. Sin exists every day. Erickson states, "Social sin is prevalent in our society and exists alongside individual sin. Persons who oppose sin on a personal level may be drawn into the corporate nature of sin through the evil acts of government, economic structures, or other forms of group identification" (Erickson 2013, 584). I agree with you that it is important for us to be concern about the brothers and sisters in Christ who does not have documentation to be in the United States. Christians should encourage our brothers

The Book of Leviticus is the third book of the Hebrew Bible, and the third of five books of the Torah (or Pentateuch), and the third book of the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. Moses was the author of the Book of Leviticus. Leviticus contains the law and commandments that God gave to his newly sanctified people to obey as their part of their covenant relationship. (Reading the Old Testament, Page 69-70)

In the beginning, God created the Earth and everything on it. He also created man and woman, Adam and Eve, who disobeyed him or one would say sinned against Him (The Catholic Study Bible, Genesis 3:6). Although Adam and Eve disobeyed God, His love and mercy for them was so much that he forgave them. Abraham also sinned, yet God forgave him. Isaac, son of Abraham, followed God’s commandments and was faithful to Him. Isaac prayed to God to ask to allow his wife, Rebekah, to conceive (The Catholic Study Bible, Genesis 25:21). God answered Isaac’s prayer because He knows what’s best and because of His love for Isaac. Jacob, son of Isaac, deceived his brother and father to receive the blessing (The Catholic Study Bible, Genesis 27: 5-29). This happened just as God said it would. It was the fulfillment of His word. The Israelites were God’s chosen people, because He promised Abraham that his descendants would become a great nation (The Catholic Study Bible, Genesis 12:3). God fulfills His promise and protects the Israelites because of His love and mercy He has towards humanity. Throughout my life there have been many obstacles I’ve had to face, but the Bible verses of John 3:16, Romans 8:18, and Philippians 4:13 helped me get through those difficult times.

The Gospel of Matthew presents the Messiah, the promised savior, the king of the Jews. The Gospel of Matthew is clear in its purpose, and is unique in its role in the scriptures. Matthew shows ages of prophecy to be fulfilled in Christ. He shows the fulfillment of the law in Christ, and Gods redemptive sacrifice fulfilled in Christ. Matthew goes on to show Israel’s rejection of their king, and more, a new people gathered to Christ (biblesanity.org).

The doctrine or belief that God is actively involved with His creation plays a large role in the way in which people particularly members of the Christian Church and people in general interact with those within a chosen vocation. On a fundamental level, this notion implies a degree of deference, if not outright reverence, that people have for those within a certain vocation. Additionally, this doctrine helps to reinforce the feeling and manifestations of faith in the person participating in a certain vocation, which merely helps to magnify the faith that adherents have to a particular religion. Ultimately, the conception that God is involved with his creations helps to associate some of the beneficent qualities of God towards those of a particular vocation, such as a priest, which serves to provide a divine foundation upon which the various entities and components of the Christian church are based.

Whether the Bible provides us with such a absolute moral standards? If the Bible is implied from God, and its centerpiece is about human sin and God 's salvation, which is not difficult to imagine must contain or through a set of absolute moral standards.

The Bible simply says in Isaiah 55:9, "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." God does work His wonders in ways that are beyond finding out! The congregation at Calvary has heard repeatedly about the classic book called "Pilgrims Progress." In this timeless book there is a man named "Mr. Worldly Wise." It doesn 't take long for a Christian to realize that he shouldn 't have listened to this man. Mr. Worldly Wise does not have the mind of God. There would appear to be great wisdom coming from his mouth, but it 's not from God. Something that will have to be accepted by faith, no matter how good the intentions, if the direction that a person is going is not governed by God 's wisdom, that journey, that path, will end in hopelessness.

I believe the time isn’t relevant as far as wear I will spend eternity, four there’s two ways of that can happen. First of all, nobody is immune to die at any point in time for went is your time to go you have no control over it. Second of all, Jesus can come anytime. Therefore, if either of these events happens, eternity awaits. Are used to think that the younger you are the least you need to worry about these two events happening. On the contrary, the acknowledgment that Jesus is the only way and the one hole redeemed us is now, not later, not when you feel like it, the time is now.
