This St. Paul made such a fine mess of the teachings of Jesus, peace blessings be upon him, that he earned for himself the second most coveted position of "The Most Influential Men of History" in the monumental work of Michael H. Hart: The 100 or The Top Hundred or the Greatest Hundred in History. Paul outclasses even Jesus because, accordin...

Jesus Christ Greek Word
1,462 wordsBaptism: A Comparison of the Biblical Tradition with Modern Denominational Practices. One of the main reasons for the different denominations is their core, or fundamental, difference of belief concerning baptism. I hope to show many of the individual beliefs that are held by the different denominations, and to go back to the Bible and show what it has to say concerning baptism. The point is not to distinguish who is right and who is wrong, but to make people think about what they have been taug...

Christ Jesus Jewish Law
1,026 wordsGalatians was probably written between 49 - 56 A. D. , by Paul, as it is shown in the very first verse. Paul's letter to the Galatians is a vigorous attack against the gospel of works and a defense of the gospel of faith. When Paul attended the Jerusalem Conference in 48 or 49, a decision was made that Gentiles would be allowed to become Christians without becoming Jews first (ie. have a circumcision, and follow the Jewish Laws). Paul, being the one that defended the Gentile's right to be Christ...

1,442 wordsOn May 20, 325 AD the world was forever changed. Emperor Constantine called a meeting of the 318 Bishops at Nice and on that day they instituted one of the greatest flaws of American religion today. This is the doctrine of the Trinity, suggesting the view of the Oneness doctrine, believing on one God and His name being Jesus, is no longer correct. The Trinity doctrine cannot be proven by simply reading the scriptures; it has to be described and explained in detail, before you can begin to see th...

Anti Semitism Catholic Church
1,341 words... NS The Catholic Church emerged with 16 decrees, constitutions and declarations from the Vatican II council. Three had the most lasting and immediate effect on the Church and its members. I will now discuss them individually. One of the main priorities of their work was to make the church more accessible to the laity, or common man. They had come to realize Christians will not be Christians by custom and tradition, but only by a personal faith attained in a difficult struggle and perpetually ...

1,465 wordsNew and Old Testaments Society has always had its theocrat's, but the conflict between the Old and New Testaments has simply rendered the Bible too dim and doubtful to allow them to gain as much traction as their Muslim counterparts have been able to derive from the Quran. American Christians, in other words, are a lot like Arab Muslims, save for the accident of scripture. And until they take the ramifications of that accident fully into account, U. S. foreign policy will remain unrealistic. Num...

Quot Quot Conceptual Framework
4,692 wordsThere was a time, not long ago, when the evangelical community had considerable consensus on lifestyle questions and social issues. We generally agreed on what we should eat and drink and how we might spend our weekends. There was little debate over definitions of vulgarity or morality, and questions of fashion were rarely a matter for discussion. In those days, everyone knew how a family should be raised, and aberrations such as divorce and abortion were simply that: problems found only among h...

African Americans Human Beings
2,744 wordsHomosexuality is being hotly debated today in church and society. When the case is made for the legitimacy of same-sex love, critics rush in with three main defenses. (1) It is contrary to nature. (2) It is condemned in Scripture. (3) Its acceptance would ruin society. The most interesting thing about these three arguments is that they have been used in the past to defend what is now universally regarded as evil. In American history, slavery, segregation, and the denial of the vote to women all ...

Jesus Christ Writings
3,151 wordsThe Canon of Biblical Writings For centuries now Christians have claimed to possess the special revelation of an omnipotent, loving Deity who is sovereign over all of His creation. This special revelation is in written form and is what has come to be known as The Bible which consists of two books. The first book is the Hebrew Scriptures, written by prophets in a time that was before Christ, and the second book is the New Testament, which was written by Apostles and disciples of the risen Lord af...

2,002 wordsSola Fide vs. Sola Gratia Sola Fide, or the salvation by faith alone, has become the basis for the Protestant faith. When Luther split from the Catholic Church in 1517, his new doctrine was based on five key principles: 1) grace and sovereignty of God, 2) faith, 3) scripture as the word of faith, 4) the church as the fellowship of saints and the priesthood of all believers, and 5) the fallibility of man and his institutions. As important as all five of these tenants are, the first two, and espec...

Later, the word gained the further, political connotation of being against the Stuart monarchy and for some sort of republicanism; its primary reference, however, was still to what was seen as an odd, furious, and ugly form of Protestant religion. In England, anti-Puritan feeling was let loose at the time of the Restoration and has flowed freely ever since. In North America it built up slowly after the days of Jonathan Edwards to reach its zeni...

The Bible clearly states in various places that the Son of God shall return for a second time. By looking at prophetic scripture from the Bible we can clearly see that Christ will come again.
