Epistle to the Galatians

Spirit, and his newfound belief in Christ, James became the leader of the Christian church. He advised many characteristics regarding the church and imparted insight to the description of the bride of Christ in Acts as well. James even authored an Epistle is recognized as a practical handbook for Christians. The book of James describes practical truths concerning wisdom and working faith. Shortly after completing this book, the active and public role that James took in Jerusalem’s church eventually

Perhaps one plans to someday come to God for salvation, but day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment they find that they are still waiting and approaching an eternal Hell, and turning away The Son of God. Just as it was Adams nature to run and try to hide from God, it is also mankind 's nature to do the same. One must come to know that it is essential to realize their helpless estate, that an eternity waits, that in this state one is the servant of sin, doomed, damned, and unable in oneself to

Luke is ascribed authorship to Acts. Acts of the Apostles follows early Christianity as it was spread throughout the Roman Empire. Being that Acts exists as a second hand account, (pertaining to existent discrepancies evident between the Pauline epistles and Acts) it is deemed to be comparably less trustworthy ). Thus, as explained by scholar John Knox, the need for the tactic of reconstructionism was most likely employed by the author of Acts ). The notion of recconstructionism deals with the

believes and describes of what the church is, and what the church does. What is the Church? There are key references in the Bible that Paul talks about regard the church: Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:11-22; 3:3-9, Colossians 1:24-27; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians 3:26-28, Romans 16:25-27. Church is also commonly known as the Temple of God. In Ephesians 2:21-22 refers that in Christ is made a new man that brings in Gentiles to be grafted in and be fellow heirs with the Body of Christ. In Christ all differences

The Deity of Jesus: A Defense Introduction The release of The Da Vinci Code book and movie—in 2003 and 2006 respectively—unleashed a latent cultural era of skepticism in America. The film popularized nonsensical ideas such as “Jesus was not considered God until the year 325 in the council of Nicaea.” While this idea can be easily dispelled and is not believed even by critical scholars and serious historians, the idea that Jesus “the man” was, at some point, “deified” still prevails in influential

fornication, from fornication adultery, from adultery murder? ... Do you make the anteroom of birth, the anteroom of slaughter? Do you teach the woman who is given to you for the procreation of offspring to perpetuate killing?" (Homily 24 on the Epistle to the Romans)  (Jurgens)   The 1909 edition of the Catholic Encyclopedia notes:   The early Christians are the first on record as having pronounced abortion to be the murder of human beings; for their public apologists, Athenagoras

The debates over immigration and immigration policy did not develop in recent memory. In fact, one could argue that the debates over this issue date back to antiquity. During Biblical times people did not agree with each other regarding immigration. Even the authors of the Scriptures had different opinions about immigration. Matthew and Paul are two New Testament authors who each discuss the topic of immigration in their writings. Matthew did so in the second chapter of his Gospel, and Paul, in the

perplexing, the idea of articulating it when in conversation with a nonbeliever, or a believer for that matter, is most challenging. The obvious place to begin then is to go straight to God’s Word. Of course, we look to the Gospels, and also the Epistles; Paul’s letter to the Romans in particular, overflows with the hope which undergirds Christian faith and living is the hope of the resurrection and the dead and the renewal of all creation” (Ware, 2009, p. 130). However, critical to the conversation

The basic story of the New Testament is that Jesus Christ is God incarnate as our Savior. All the Gospel authors, whether first-hand witnesses or faithful writers, described ways in which Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah to come. The death and resurrection of Jesus are pivotal to the story of the Old and New Testament, as the climax and fulfillment of the salvation hopes expressed from the beginning of recorded history.

of twenty-seven books, in which I will break down into five sections. First are the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, the book of Acts, which is commonly classified as a book of history. Next are the epistles of Paul which are the book of Romans through Philemon, the general epistles of Hebrews through Jude, and the prophecy book of Revelation. 1. The Gospels The book of Matthew provides a detailed account of the life of Jesus and establishes that Jesus Christ is “the Messiah who fulfills
