The Gospels consists of four books known as the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John (Harris, 2014). The Greek meaning of these writings is that they convey the “good news” about Jesus (Harris, 2014). What is unique about the Gospels is that they

Bible we can find patterns to follow and live by so that our lives become better. By reading the parables and letters, we learn to look differently and we can even gain a new perspective from the outside. The New Testament consists of four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). These Gospels contain narratives of life, the teachings, as well as the

The Gospel of Luke is the third book in the canon of the New Testament and the final of the synoptic Gospels. While the Gospel of Matthew does contain more chapters, Luke is the longest of the four Gospels, with the most verses and most words out of all four Gospels in the New Testament.

The work done by evangelists is truly from care and compassion, not from money, stability, or the chance of a promotions. “Entry level is exit level in the mission field.”(cmalliance.org). There is no climbing to the top, corner office, or big-shots in missions but people who

Even though the four Gospels have a great deal of material that is similar, and even identical in some cases, there are many passages that betray confusing differences. Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John have much in common. But the similarities and differences within them are a good first indication that Four Evangelists use the same traditions, sometimes in slightly different ways. The canonical Gospels were written to proclaim, by means of a narrative reporting the life, teaching, death, and the

Roman Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Lutherans and reformed Christians are denominations that believe there will be a rapture where Christ will be returning for his second coming. The rapture is not mentioned in the bible but in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 1 Corinthians 15:50-54. “Believers who have died will have their bodies resurrected and, along with believers who are still living, will meet the Lord in the air.” This theory is based on scriptures in the bible.

We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth. (AoF 6 italics added) The purpose of this paper, is to examine the Church organization in the New Testament and to decide whether it can be considered the same as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I will explore key factors of the sixth article of faith and compare that to the church that Christ established. What is the primitive church

This essay will demonstrate the ways in which the miracles are significant in showing the in-breaking of the Kingdom of God in the gospel of Matthew whilst examining other important aspects of miracles and the role they play in this gospel. With the development of redaction criticism we can note and clearly see the changes that each evangelist has made to suit their own theological purposes. Paying particular attention Matthew’s gospel, we can see that he has redacted or edited material within

This book is his model, a bound book, produced using sheets of paper or material, the codex, from which he is to duplicate the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. For about the following six years, he will duplicate this Latin. The Lindisfarne Gospels, a standout amongst the greatest compositions of the early medieval times, was composed and enhanced toward the end of the seventh century
