Who Was The Real Founder Of Christianity- Jesus Or Saul? By David Blau The question “who was the real founder of Christianity - Jesus or Paul?” is a frequently disputed matter by individuals and societies of all different faiths and cultures. About seven years after Jesus died, Paul was riding on a horse and on the road to Damascus; he falls off his horse and has a premonition. Some people also describe this premonition as a nervous breakdown. Jesus Christ himself visits Paul and the spirit of Jesus…

Jesus was truly the Son of God. " Lord if you wish, you can make me Clean.” Jesus stretched out his hands touching the leper and said "I will do it, Be made clean.” ("Matthew 8:10-8." The Bible.) The leper went to show all that he was not sick anymore. This is only one of the true miracles Jesus Performed while on this earth. Jesus preached the word of his father through love healing , and example. The people of Israeli marveled as they heard his words. He showed how kindness toward all men is the…

Jesus Baptism During renaissance era, artist have been using bibles as inspirations for paintings just like da Vinci’s The Last Supper or Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam. However compared to all of them Jesus’s baptism painting is the most famous out of all, since it depicts the pinnacle of bible, the rise of the savior. In addition, it also depicts the basic belief in Catholicism and Christianity, which is the trinity, the father or God, the son or Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The painting that…

16:15). Two thousand years ago, Jesus asked his followers. “Who he really was?” Tom Wright, who lives in 21st century, asks again. In this book, Wright puts the reader on a time machine and brings them back to Palestine, 1st century and starts the story of “historical Jesus”. Wright directly goes into the Gospels and talks about Jesus. Put down the ambition of Jews, take away the mystery of history, break the rule of religion, and at the moment when you realize about Jesus’ real desire, we finally can…

I felt a very positive impression of who Jesus was after finishing the Book of Matthew. I had a new image of someone who was a down-to-earth, caring individual. I did not find quotes of Jesus that claimed being superior to the common man, of whom sinners could not look upon (a view that most people had of their Gods for centuries before). Matthew 12:49-50, Jesus announces to multitudes that they are his mother and brothers. In that way, he puts himself at an equal level to the people…

Anthony Hengst January 29th, 2016 Was Jesus actually preaching a spiritual message? The question firmly divides Jesus historians. If Christ intended to be a religious figure, was it as the Messiah of a religion that roughly shared the same face as modern Christianity, as an inspired sage of peaceful humanism, or as the prophet of a apocalyptic Judaic cult? If Jesus was not trying to start a religion, where did Christianity come from? Who first called Jesus God? The answers to these question…

Cain was the firstborn of Adam and Eve. In him were deposited all the desires of restoration of the original state of the man and mainly of the state of intimate communion with God the all-powerful. Therefore, Cain shows himself to be a person who did not please God with his offerings, because his motivation was different from the motivation of his brother Abel, as he sought to present the best of his flock to the Lord as we can see at Genesis 4:3-5 "And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain…

Why Jesus was Born Why was Jesus Born, and did he come into the world? (John 18:36) One phrase summarizes the horror of hell. “ God isn’t there.” What if God weren’t here on earth? What if he never came to set us free? If you think that people are cruel now, imagine what it would be like without the presence of God. You think we are brutal to each other now, imagine the world without the Holy Spirit. You think there is loneliness and despair and guilt now, imagine life without the touch…

people have forgotten what it’s like to know Jesus and any aspect of religion. Religion is the biggest part of any person’s life because it is the building block for everything we have. Something that I want to bring up is the story of the cave by Plato. Plato told a story about three people shackled in a cave from birth and the only thing they were able to see was a wall with shadows on it. They believed this was life and everything that there was. One was then freed and shown the world as it really…

a. What was Jesus’ point in the teaching? In this teaching, Jesus was saying that we treat one another with love and compassion as he have loved us as much as laying his life for our sake, in order for us to join him in the kingdom of God. He said that we should speak well even to those who curse and despitefully use us and abuse us because, our reward for such time is in heaven and it is God who will revenge about these things for us. He said that we should love our enemy also not only our friends…
