Christians believe that God created the world and all that is in it. It is believed that humanity is created in the image of God, and that God gave people free will therefore there is good and evil in the world. The Ten Commandments are guidelines received by Moses from God on how adherents can lead good lives. They should not be avoided in fear of punishment, but embraced as a way to be saved from The Fall, where humans make sinful choices. Adherents believe meaning can be found in their response to evil and suffering.
Christians believe that we are living and moving because of God, if it was not for him we would not be here. An example given by Fr. Abraam D. Sleman is, “Adam is also called ‘the Son of God’ (Luke 3:38). ‘Adam’s father was God’ (Luke 3:38 TLB), as it is paraphrased in The Living Bible. Also, ‘the angels are sons of God’, (Job 1:6 NIV, TLB), in a sense that they are His creation.” (Sleman 12).
Through the divinity and humanity of the Christ, Christians and believers share the stories through word of mouth. The Son of God is also evident from the sacred texts of the Gospel testimonies which include the wonders and recoveries on people achieved by Jesus, and from the witness to his death, resurrection and ascension into heaven by his followers and other eyewitnesses. The beliefs of the divinity recognise his relationship to God as Son. Jesus’s divinity showed Jesus’ role to be the salvation of humanity and to resurrect and rise to defeat death. In the Gospel of John 1:14 “The Word became
In Christianity it is believed that Jesus Christ was the savior to all humanity and was sent to Earth by his father (God) to pay for the sins of all mankind. In Judaism on the other hand, Jesus was merely a prophet. Both Christianity and Judaism were established in Israel. Christianity was founded around 30 AD in contrast to Judaism which started around 1000 BC. Although a few sacred readings and the form that followers pray are similar in both religions they are also slightly different.
Jesus: The Miracle Hero “He came from heaven to earth to show the way, from the earth to the cross my debt he paid, from the cross to the grave from the grave to the sky lord I lift your name on high” A song by Donnie Mcclurkin sung by Christians today in reference to Jesus Christ. Like a hero Christ went through heroic stages: The call to adventure, The road of trails and The Master of the two Worlds. Joseph Campbell explains that the "first stage of the mythological journey '' is called ''the call to adventure'' (48). The hero is either subconsciously drawn into the adventure, or "the hero can go forth his own volition to accomplish the adventure” this usually occurs when the hero realizes there is another world other than what he is
Sermon on the Mount The Gospel of Matthew Mathew 7: 21-23 21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven”. 22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!" REL 3000 24 April 2007 The Sermon on the Mount teaches us through Jesus Christ what God wants us to do.
Their personality was bound in the natural. However, part of Paul’s duty was to bring the good news to the Gentiles so that they could share in that spiritual likeness. “Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:” (Romans 3:29).
Biblical texts state that God is forgiving, merciful, loving, omnipotent and above all, good. Yet how can it be true that God forgave the Jewish people for their sins and had the power to prevent the Holocaust but did not do so? It leads to the notion that either God is not all powerful so was not capable of thwarting the atrocities of World War 2, or God is not altogether caring and merciful. Ignaz Maybaum examined this concept further by stating that the Holocaust was God’s judgement over the past. He believed that “Hitler served as a divine instrument for the reconstruction of modern Jewish life.” In his mind it was clear that the death of 6 million Jews took place because as a community, Jews are responsible for each other’s actions and there had been enough sin for God to take necessary action.
And this true relationship is one of the main advantages of being human – that we are “a little lower than God and crowned with glory and honor.” (Psalm 8:5) This is proven in John 14 because as Jesus, whose relationship with the Spirit is incomparable, talks of the Spirit, he uses the pronouns he and him – not it. The reason for us to develop our relationship with the Spirit is that he may be with us even more so than God or Jesus. I say this because we know that Jesus ascended into heaven to be with the Father, but the Spirit has been sent to us on earth by Jesus to be our comforter and our guide (John 14:16). He has three main jobs with the church: to teach us the truth, build the church, and help us spread God's love. The Spirit's job in regard to truth is to teach us unknown things about God, for just as no one knows are deep secrets of a person but that person's spirit, so can no one know God's secrets except his Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:11).
How Jesus showed his power in over nature, over sickness and over death? Jesus according to the gospels of Mark, Matthew and Luke, was a Galilean Jew who taught a love doctrine and was sent by God to reveal his Glory, in fact according to their gospels he was the Messiah. As the Messiah he performed extraordinary events known as miracles, where his power was shown and impressed the people who seen them, these miracles where a sign of mercy, omnipotence and Glory. Throught several examples it is going to be explained, how Jesus showed his power over nature, sickness and over death, comparing several accounts from the gospels that shows the perform of his miracles in these three stages. When it is analyze the relation between Jesus and nature we notice that the synoptic gospels wrote how Jesus has power over it, as an example it is the miracle called “Stilling Storm”, Jesus during a great storm taught his disciples that they have to have faith in Him by calming the wind and the sea.
