course Discipleship Ministries DSMN 500 By Hershel L. Kreis, Jr. November 4, 2012 Toano, Virginia INTRODUCTION While there are those who may be uncomfortable with the idea that worship is a goal in making disciples, the goal of Christian education according to Mitchell is to make a disciple who worships Jesus.

Related to my previous excerpt in terms of judgement, is Pope Innocent III’s sermon: That Nothing Can Help the Damned. In here, he talks about the judgement that the Father will cast upon his son’s on judgement day. The intended audience were Roman Catholic’s from the medieval period. Medieval sermons were directed to the largely illiterate Christian community, they described grace and salvation in vivid terms. On the sermon, the pope describes the judgment as one that will not bypass any damned

and ascended into heaven and sat at the right hand of God the Father. He is to return to this world at an unknown time and location to judge the dead and the living. To begin with, Catholicism is Christian faith that sets itself apart by having different practices, beliefs, behaviors, and views. The term catholic comes from a Greek word better known as universal.

Christian ideas about Jesus Christ have changed over time from the first writings calling him a prophet or the new messiah to the defining moment in Chalcedon deeming him one person with two parts, human and divine. These changes can be attributed to the fact that after the death of Jesus Christ, Christianity was still a relatively new religion and was still working out the exact interpretation of Jesus Christ and what he meant to Christianity as a whole. The Apostolic Era, named after the twelve

For the most part, these descriptors are just that descriptors. Most often I find these titles simply describe the mindset and system of thought that the person may operate with in the margins, or natural tendencies

Athanasius (McGrath 2001, p,12), was a failed attempt to expel all aspects of Arian heresy but a success in uniting Christians. Firstly, the definition of heresy will be explained as to not discredit Arius’ Chrisitian belief: Heresy is the acceptance of basic Christian principle but interpreting it in terms that are not consistent with orthodoxy (McGrath, 2001, p.153).
