Also, ‘the angels are sons of God’, (Job 1:6 NIV, TLB), in a sense that they are His creation.” (Sleman 12). After “God the Father,” there is “God the son,” meaning Jesus Christ is God’s son and also, a representation of God himself. Christians believe if they believe in the “son of God,” then they believe in God as a whole. Lastly, there is “God the Holy Spirit,” which is the power of God. Christians see that God gives life and he lives through His own spirit.
This intended that he was the divine Son of God and recognised as being ‘one with the Father’. Christian adherents believe of the divinity through the birth of Virgin Mary and the Son of God. Shown in the scripture passage Matthew 1:16, “and to Jacob was born Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ”, this can explicitly identify the Virgin birth, thus showing divinity. He was recognised as being human, living with normal human restrictions and sufferings however; was considered Son of God as his life, death and resurrection plays importance in humanity. Through the divinity and humanity of the Christ, Christians and believers share the stories through word of mouth.
It also shows Mary as an active disciple, and perhaps even as Jesus' primary disciple. Scholars do not always agree on which of the Mary’s in the New Testament the central character of the Gospel of Mary is. Arguments in favor of Mary Magdalene are based on her status as a known follower of Jesus, being the first witness of his resurrection, and her appearance in other early Christian writings. She is mentioned as accompanying Jesus on his journey (Luke 8:2) and is listed in the Gospel of Matthew as being present at his crucifixion (Matthew 27:56). In the Gospel of John, she is recorded as the first witness of Jesus' resurrection (John 20:14–16); (Mark 16:9 later manuscripts).
Why was Jesus baptized? Why did he see this as something important to do? Answer: Jesus was baptized in order to go back to God, and to fulfilled with promises of Messiah, and we can infer that we should be baptized too, in order to follow the step of son of god Jesus, Jesus saw this as something important to do because in this way he became a perfect offering to save us from our sin. 2. Who was present at his Baptism? Answer: John the Baptist and many on lookers were present at Jesus' baptism.
But in a Christian nation, as our Founders would have defined it, the principles and institutional foundations are Biblically based and the people in general share a Biblical world-view. Before America was America Christopher Columbus' commission was given to set out and find a new world. Though this order was given from King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabella of Spain according to Columbus’ personal log, his purpose in seeking undiscovered worlds was to “bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the heathens. …. It was the Lord who put into my mind … that it would be possible to sail from here to the Indies … I am the most unworthy sinner, but I have cried out to the Lord for grace and mercy, and they have covered me completely … No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Saviour, if it is just and if the intention is purely for His holy service[1].” Columbus, being a Catholic, was Protestant and felt obligated to bring God to the world.
9 What two words do scholars agree were used by Jesus in a distinctive way? What was distinctive about Jesus uses of words? ANSWER: ABBA AND AMEN. BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT THE USUAL WORDS AND THEY DEMONSTRATED JESUS’ WAY OF ADDRESSING GOD, AND MOST OF THE TIMES HE SPEAKS IN PARABLES. 10 Why do Christians believe they can trust the Gospels; to accurately convey the truth o f Jesus teaching?
Jesus addressed many issues during his sermon on the mount. The book of Matthew’s gives us a view through Jewish eyes. His version was written toward the Jewish people. Matthew 7: 21-23 looks at the false prophets and hypocrites and the concerns for their salvation should they not change their course toward sincerity. INTRODUCTION Matthew is the first book of the four Gospels.
Another eye opener for me is that Muslims believe that Jesus Christ was born to the Virgin Mary and at the end of the world, Jesus Christ will come again. They are a lot of Moral Codes and practices that are similar, too. Humans have rights (prohibitions on

Who is a Prophet? ‘Prophet’ etymologically comes from a Greek word which means “one who speaks”; somebody inspired by the Spirit of God to speak or act in a certain way. A prophet prophesies- that is, interprets past and present events and announces coming events. St. Paul, speaking of prophecy in 1 Corinthians 14, does not confine its meaning to predictions of future events, but includes under it Divine inspirations concerning what is secret, whether future or not. As such, prophecy is different from forecasting or scientific predictions which are known by the natural light of human reason because it is Divine light by which God reveals things concerning the unknown future and by which these things are in some way represented to the mind of the prophet whose duty is to manifest them to others.
