It says in a Christian article that “As a Christian it is very important to be an evangelist on an utmost believe in the oneness of God Almighty.” (Christian Worldview 2012) The only way to get to heaven in through Jesus. The problem that people face today is sin that was created through Adam and Eve. It more sin now then it was then but it was also the same. It surround us in everywhere we
Christian Influences in Beowulf The epic poem “Beowulf” is a story of an ambitious hero named Beowulf. In the story of “Beowulf” there are many Christian influences that are in the text. Beowulf himself has no set religion throughout this story but many Christian values find their way into the poem. This epic allows the reader to recognize and view the religious and symbolic references their own way. The Christian influences that stood out within this story were self-sacrifice for the good of others, loyalty, and also the sympathy for those less fortunate.
In any case, Steinbeck creates an exceptional story in The Grapes of Wrath by use of prose, symbolism, and true events. Many critics agree that the main literary device used is Christian Symbolism, which is used countless times by Steinbeck in the plot. It has been considered strange to run a parallel between Jesus Christ and Jim Casy but Steinbeck pulls it off well. Critics see the connection between Casy and Jesus Christ by looking at each of their introductions into the world as changed men. In The Grapes of Wrath, Jim Casy is introduced after his mission to find the true meaning of life and himself (Steinbeck 24).
Methods of Evangelism Joshua D Brown Liberty University Online Evangelical Method 1: The Romans Road Summary of Method – The Romans Road is potentially a very effective method of leading someone to Christ. Following a selection of verses from the Book of Romans, the evangelist can take the intellectual approach towards leading the broken to their Savior. Much like any road in life, the Romans Road has a beginning and moves toward a destination in a methodical and systematic way. At the beginning, in Romans 3:23 and 3:10, we learn that all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory and that none among us is righteous. This is where we (or the individual(s) you are ministering too admits they are a sinner.
Apologetics September 2012 Mere Christianity Book 1 Chapter 1 Throughout this chapter C.S. Lewis is explaining how within each person is a moral code (a law). There are different cultural standards but in all reality each person has a code which all people can relate too. If someone backstabs all the people who have helped him out this person would be known (no matter where you live) for being untrustworthy. Lewis goes on to say that we all have this moral idea but most of us never abide by it.
For example when Hrothgar talks with Beowulf about selfish kings who do not give thanks to God for their blessings. So overall I would say that Beowulf made the decision that best suited him. I wouldn’t say that he made a wrong or right decision. He went with the religion that he knew and grew up with even though Christianity was spreading quickly throughout that part of the world. The pagan society was one of original religious groups that are still remembered today because of Beowulf and his battles.
He states that someone can easily substitute God or final reality for fairies, if the outcome is the same. There is no compulsory argument in favor of one or the other. It’s all ‘between our ears’. James did have deep respect for religion that enriches the human life; he believed that all cultures turn to a god (or gods). There is said to be no compelling rational argument to be found either against or for the existence of God, but James believed there to be some sort of God for everyone because he studied the effects of people involved in religion and people who were not.
Religious books and preachers always claim to be based on the word of God, and sometimes testify to God's action or instructions to commit despicable behavior. That can never be true. Further, they claim man was created in God's own image even though no one has ever seen God. That cannot be true either. Obviously, man has created God in his own image to produce organized religion for his own ends.
Being able to give an answer to everyone who asks is known as apologetics, which means to “give an answer.” 1{Hindson, Caner, 28} Paul said in 1 Peter 3:15 “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” (NIV). Peter does not simply suggest that we be prepared, but he compels us to be prepared always. Christianity is under attack not only by those within Christianity, but also by those in cults and other faiths.
II Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17) NIV To me as a believer, it’s important to study Bible, it's passages and the stories within their context. It helps me always to take my time to make sure any bible verses are not taken out of context which if not can easily lead to all kinds of error and misunderstanding. What helps to understanding the bible context starts few points and i call them a principles: what does that literal meaning (what it says), to what historical setting (the events of the story, to whom is it addressed, and how it was understood at
