Matthew the Evangelist

never accepted such glory rather He warned us sternly about it. “But you do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven…” (Matthew chapter 23) Why is God so Jealous when I commit spiritual adultery? Spiritual adultery can be described as stepping on God’s toes! He is a Jealous God, because He does not want anyone or anything to take His love from your heart. He won’t take it

the symbols need to remain the same everywhere to make the message easier to understand. In Christ in Majesty the halo is an example of the recurring iconographic element. A halo around someone's head means that the person is a saint. Christ, the evangelists, and the Twelve Apostles have halos to point out their religious significance. Individualization is no longer important on Medieval works because artists focus on the expansion of the Christian message. The figures in Christ in Majesty are less

When examining the Book of Revelation, one gets an impression God is sympathetic towards the world because He shows the heavens in advance. He demands someone to record what is happening so the rest of the world can acknowledge what awaits them in the afterlife. Consequently, John who is invited to Heaven is likewise the author of the Book and uses metaphors and simple ideas to describe what he witnessed on that fateful day . The book of Revelations can be seen as a journal entry of John's Heavenly

The Great Tribulation has become a hot topic of conversation for many evangelists. Terrorist attacks across the world, deadly war inhabiting our nation's, pandemic diseases and other natural phenomenon have brought light onto the up and coming subject, the end of times. According to the Bible, the Tribulation is a time of misery and persecution of the followers of Christ. Furthermore, the New Testament uses the word tribulation to signify a time period of distress before the return of Jesus Christ

But perhaps the most controversial debate concerning the atonement of Jesus centers on what is referred to as “limited” or “definite” atonement. One theological camp (comprised primarily of those holding to Arminianism and Wesleyanism) believes that Christ died on the cross for every single person who has ever lived. The other theological camp made up of Reformed thinker, who are often called “Calvinist” after the Reformer John Calvin say that Jesus Christ only died for those whom the Father chose

that they think of when they hear the word Evangelism most would respond with the name of and Evangelist such as Billy Graham, Charles Stanley or even Joel Olsten. Of course the word Evangelist has had the same problem that the word Evangelism has had in regards to losing the true intended meaning of the world. It seems that Christians now days have forgotten that all born again believers are Evangelist, not just those who show up in a small town with a tent, a band, and a sign that says revival

The artwork The Crucifixion by Jaime Cirera represents spiritual authority and religion. It is a Christian iconography. According to Humanistic Tradition, “Christian signs and symbols linked the visible to the invisible world…since in Christian art the symbolic significance of a representation is often more important than its literal meaning” (Fiero, 204). Christian iconography represents a religious belief. Indeed, Christian iconography is the symbol that shows religious spirit of Christian in Medieval

The same dynamic appears twenty two times in Matthew where as according to scholars who support the outside sources theory, the doublets mentioned above allegedly prove that the writers of Matthew and Luke both took liberty in benefiting from the Markan account as well as the “Q”, “M” and that of the “L” sources

The Teachings of Matthew The Gospel according to Matthew is the first book in the New Testament, and also serves as a bridge between the Old Testament and the New Testament. The gospel tells us of Jesus and his teachings. It is believed that the Gospel originated with Matthew, one of Jesus' disciples, and it circulated anonymously (Harris 149). The message in this gospel was compiled to minister to a Jewish and Jewish-Christian community when tensions between early Christians and postwar

raging debate among Americans on transgender bathroom access. The pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas said the Bible effectively clears out the confusion in the transgender issue, Charisma News relays. “It's not that confusing. In Matthew 19:4, God's Words are applicable. The Bible says 'God made them from the beginning male and female.' Not male, female and question mark,” said Jeffress. “God has determined how many sexes there are—there are two, not three.” In his Sunday sermon,
