from when he was born, until death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus, himself, had 12 disciples, whom advised him and later grew to the name, ‘The 12 Apostles’.

Architecture has always been adapting, revisiting and appropriating what has been done before, looking back to precedents to find new inspirations. Despite new technology and pop-culture, history dictates symbolism and formalistic appeal even if we are unaware of it. We grow up associating certain symbols and imagery to its connotated meaning, for example, when we see a cross we immediately think of Christianity. Because of that, churches nowadays continue to look back to ancient Christian structure

Discipleship Teachers around the time when Jesus lived thought that learning was such that the people who wanted to learn should come to them to be taught. But Jesus felt differently and rather than waiting for people to come to him, he went out to find them and then chose them to be his followers. He called them disciples and this word means one who learns. But Jesus chose his disciples carefully as we are told in Mark 1:16-20 and also in Mark 3:13-19. In the first passage, Jesus appoints his first

When people close their eyes and try to picturize Jesus, generally a singular image comes to mind. A godly figure with blonde hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. This image is similar to what is seen in many popular Western paintings in museums like the 16th-century painting, Christ Among the Doctors by artist Albrecht Durrer. In this painting the fair skinned Jesus looks celestial and divine amongst the dark, sinister Jewish scholars. But what all of these famous pieces of art have in common is that

heaven, at his left and right hand. Mark 10:40. Jesus then had to begin to teaching of discipleship to them again after they misunderstood their real role. Peter was probably the disciple who Jesus felt most strongly for. Peter was the first disciple that Jesus chose and his name was changed from Simon to Peter, a name meaning ‘rock'. Peter is not really an important character in Mark's gospel until we reach Mark 8:27-30. In this passage, Jesus takes his

Who Was The Real Founder Of Christianity- Jesus Or Saul? By David Blau The question “who was the real founder of Christianity - Jesus or Paul?” is a frequently disputed matter by individuals and societies of all different faiths and cultures. About seven years after Jesus died, Paul was riding on a horse and on the road to Damascus; he falls off his horse and has a premonition.

manifestation of God’s glory throughout our life journey. The bible provides countless examples of individuals with an incredible moral foreground on which a sovereign God casts influence upon the body of Christ, from the metamorphosis of the apostle Peter to Jesus the Messiah, yet God himself remains the ultimate testament of character. The immaculate nature of God can be seen within the following excerpt from the book of Exodus, As he passed in front of Moses, he called out. He said, “I am the LORD

Part A: In New Zealand has a lot of Catholic social organisation. In this assessment I choose Caritas as a Catholic social organisation. Caritas Internationalis is a catholic organisation and social service. Their mission is to work to build a better world, especially for the poor and oppressed. Caritas has social service organisations in over 200 countries. And I will identify Caritas in Thailand because Thailand is my homeland and Thailand has a lot of poor people.

had been following Him to “Come and …see” (John 1:39). This invitation for the two disciples to join was extended by God and this discipleship is divinely initiated. This divine invitation to Andrew and the other disciple is also extended to Simeon Peter (John 1:41-42), Philip (1:43-44), and Nathanael (1:45-51). With each call to “Follow me” (1:43), Christ gains another disciple, thus discipleship is not possible by human will, but only through divine initiative. An example of how human will cannot
