Matthew Priddis

Gospels of Matthew and Mark are two of the four, which talks about Jesus’ ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension into Heaven. When we discuss the Gospels, we tend to look at the message being conveyed to the reader. In both Matthew and Mark, the message is clear: Jesus of Nazareth was born from a virgin who did not come to abolish the laws of Moses, but to fulfill them and to fulfill the prophecies of Isaiah. Furthermore, Jesus had come into the world to save all of humanity from sin. Matthew and

warrior. "The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name." Exodus 15:3 (NIV) We are in a battle, specifically a "Spiritual Battle" that is not of flesh and blood, but of the Kingdom of God (Psalm 45:6), the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 19:14) and Satan's Kingdom of Darkness (Matthew 12:26)! And, the enemy is evil, seeking to

As of 2014, the VA estimates there were 22 million military veterans in the U.S. population. Over time the population of those to fight in the war has grown. There are many important contributors to the war. One of them was General Douglas Macarthur, who was an American general and also chief of staff of the United States army. Macarthur commanded in World War two and successfully led United Nations in the Korean War. In his speech: Sylvanus Thayer Award Acceptance Address, he presents the importance

For our first theoretical reflection we were assigned to read the gospel of Mark. Taking on this reading requires an opened mindset and concentration. Reading this passage was hard for me because when I am in church listening to the gospel readings, I do admit to lack interest. I read the gospel of Mark to myself first because it takes time for me to analyze and process the event that occurs in the reading. After reading the gospel to myself I listened to the audio reading.

Luke’s rendering of this passage is more personal that the passage in Matthew. In Matthew it speaks of everyone and in Luke it is personalized to addressing you. The persons who listened to and applied the teachings of Jesus will pass through judgment unharmed. There arte two criteria for gaining this salvation. The first criterion

Testament prophecies. In both cases, and throughout the Old and the New Testaments, "highways of prophecy" are directed towards Advents of Christ. The first of these two Advents is witnessed in the Incarnation of Christ, depicted in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The second of these two Advents is prophesied in great detail in the Book of Revelations, as described by John. The Bible, in all its books, is ultimately directed towards God's message, centered on Christ in His coming as the

“You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.” John 13:7 provides a firm reassurance for any individual who happens to be reading the bible and is struggling to understand the ways in which God executes his work. However, many still struggle to grasp the reasons behind several of God’s actions. One baffling instance which breeds perplexity takes place in Chapter 11 in the Book of Mark.

Matthew 12:24 says “But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.” The world Beelzebub is another name used to address the devil, and literally translates to “Lord of the Flies”, which is the name that Golding uses to refer to the pigs head in the book. The Pig also tempts Simon in the forest as Satan did Jesus in the New Testament ( Matthew 4:1-11). The pigs meat represents the
