Synoptic Gospels Four Times
1,049 words
Should one fully read the opening four Gospels of
the New Testament, he or she can find many similar
patterns of literature and themes affording much
attention to detail and study. This is what
someone such as Merriam Webster would define as
the Synoptic Gospels. So, what are and how can we
explain the differences and similarities among
synoptic authors Matthew, Mark, Luke, and the
gospel, John? Which Book was written first? To
what extent did the Evangelists depend on oral
tradition, written so...

Second Treatise Human Body
1,571 words
Gnostic writings of Jesus portray him as a
heavenly redeemer made less of flesh than of
spirit. The emphasis of Jesus' importance is not
on his physical humanness but rather, on his
ability to show people the way to the kingdom.
Jesus put on flesh in order to give people gnosis
and reveal to them where they come from and where
they will eventually return. When it is time for
Jesus to return to his heavenly home, he is
crucified and resurrected before he finally
ascends. His body's lack of import...

Marks Gospel Holy Spirit
475 words
From Marks Gospel, there is an account of Jesus
Christs death. From this death, it is shown by
Mark how Jesus gave His life for his followers.
Jesus knows and predicts the future, but why does
He not do anything about it? He believes that he
must suffer for the good of His followers. When
Jesus went before Pilate, He gave no answer to his
questions (Mark 15: 1 - 15: 5). At this, Pilate
was amazed. He knew that Jesus could have saved
Himself from crucifixion if He had just said
something or denie...

Century B C Roman Citizenship
2,172 words
Moving to Christianity Christianity in our modern
times is one of the largest religions in the
world, but it was not always the prevailing belief
system that it has become. Much earlier in the
mists of time, the Christian faith came out of
other beliefs and faiths that are now referenced
as pianistic. In this paper we will take a very
brief look at the move of faith from those
pianistic belief systems into the early Christian
church. Before writing further, it is important to
clarify on the use ...

Roman Catholic Church Luther Believed
899 words
Martin Luther Luther was born on November 10, 1483
in Eisleben in the province of Saxony. His
protestant view of Christianity started what was
called the Protestant Reformation in Germany.
Luthers intentions were to reform the medieval
Roman Catholic Church. The firm resistance from
the church towards Luthers challenge made way to a
permanent division in the structure of Western
Christianity. Luther believed that Gods power was
completely beyond mans comprehension and could
only be accepted on f...

Death And Resurrection Jesus Death
909 words
Death and Resurrection of Jesus in Matthew The
death resurrection of Jesus Christ as told in the
gospel of Matthew has implications far more than
just a simple religious experience. Throughout the
last three chapters of the gospel, several deep
meanings are discovered which only enhance the
interpretation of the entire writing. These
insights and beliefs represent the historical
aspect, which looks strictly at the facts, the
literary aspect, which views the work as a piece
of literature and the ...

Gospel Of John Anti Semitism
1,952 words
While we speak about the tenuous relationship
between Christians and Jews dating back to the
time of Christ, the seeds for the schism within
Judaism may have been planted more than 500 years
prior. Jeremiah was one of a group of
distinguished prophets whose works became part of
the Old Testament canon. The Jewish wisdom
prophets lectured, warned and blamed all who would
listen about the sins of their own people, the
resulting punishments that God had prescribed for
them, and what they had to do ...

1 And 2 Roman Citizenship

Life of Paul The life of the Apostle Paul is a
very long and complex story. Through much research
and thought of an approach, I have found the best
way to give an account is to actually recount the
life that he led. In this paper I will attempt to
give a testimony of how I perceived the life of
Paul. In my view, his life consists of four parts:
his life before the conversion, the actual
conversion, his life through the three renowned
missionary journeys, and the testimony he gives
throughout. Th...

Contains Pauls Letter to the Galatians is written
in a very emotional and serious style. He
addresses important issues, and there is a sense
of urgency in his words. In the work he criticizes
the actions of the Galatians, and gives them an
ultimatum for the future. Some of the topics which
are addressed in the letter include the Galatians
lack of faith in Pauls teachings, justification
through faith in Jesus Christ, and the
circumcision of Gentile ma...

Gods Grace Eerdmans Publishing
1,305 words
According to Arminianism, salvation is
accomplished through the combined efforts of God
(who takes the initiative) and man (who must
respond) mans response being the determining
factor. God has provided salvation for everyone,
but His provision becomes effective only for those
who, of their own free will, choose to cooperate
with Him and accept His offer of grace. At the
crucial point, mans will plays a decisive role;
thus man, not God, determines who will be
recipients of the gift of salvation....

century, the debate between socialists and
capitalists has raged. In The Jungle, by Upton
Sinclair, he portrays capitalism as the cause of
all evils in society. Sinclair shows the horrors
of capitalism. In The Gospel of Wealth, by Andrew

opportunity. However, both Carnegie and Sinclair

men had an agenda. Capitalism and socialism both
