This is based on various Bible passages. A second key belief is that Jesus is the Son of God and is one with God. Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that he is one with God, and that he was sent here for our salvation. In John 10:30, John the Apostle quotes Jesus as saying, "I and the Father are one." Another significant Christian belief is that Jesus suffered and was crucified.
In detail we will discuss the relationship between inspiration and inerrancy. And then, before concluding this paper we will discuss how the answers to these questions provide structure to how we as Christians should live our lives. To a Christian who has accepted God as their personal Lord and Savior the Bible has authority. The same should not be said for someone who hasn’t made that confession. As a Christian we have accepted that the Bible contains the true Word of God written by apostles who received divine inspiration to guide the recorded works.
Discipleship in today’s world can be in the form of a Christian counseling. Christian counseling is counseling or psychotherapy grounded in the Christian faith. Christian counselors integrate the core beliefs of the word of God into services offer to patients. They see the bible as the source of truth. They understand the bible is the final authority.
He mentions how he persecuted God’s church. He tells the Galatians that he was deeply committed to the Jewish faith, and zealous of their traditions. But God, who controls physical birth as well as spiritual birth, called Paul to a spiritual awakening. God provided Paul with the opportunity to accept grace, and then called him to preach and teach among the non-Jewish population. Paul says that he did not wait for human confirmation of this calling.
While Mark’s Gospel portrays Jesus as the son of man whom God chose to be the one to save the people by suffering and dying, John’s Gospel portrays Jesus Christ in a different manner; a way in which Jesus Christ has existed before life on earth, came down from heaven to reveal God and His kingdom, and save us human beings from sin. The similarities between the Gospels of Mark and John are seen in the misunderstandings between Jesus and those closest to him, such as his family and disciples. Jesus’ main purpose in life is to teach these people about God and His kingdom, to explain to them that he is here to save them from their sins by dying and resurrecting. However, the people simply do not understand him and instead ask questions of his existence, his parables, and end up hardening their hearts. In Mark 9:30-32, Jesus tries to explain to his disciples that “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill him, and three days after his death he will rise.” He tells them that the Son of Man will be the one to suffer and die for the people’s own lives.
Barnabas was a prominent leader of the early church. He would seek out others just to help them. His real name was Joseph which meant ‘Son of encouragement.’ As Acts 4:36-37 (NIV) states, ‘Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “son of encouragement”), sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet.’ After Paul’s conversion he returned to Jerusalem and began to preach Jesus as the Son of God. The disciples were afraid of him and did not believe that he was one of them. Barnabas took him and introduced him to the apostles.
Now the scribes who were the Pharisees despised Jesus because of His many miracles as they believed that only by Gods ‘Will’ could this be done, but Jesus was aware of the way that they were thinking and doubting His actions. They were then quickly silenced by the paralytic getting up and walking as it left everyone without words. It is then that Jesus shows the Pharisees that He was the Son of Man and His purpose was to save the lost and not the found. Mark was written roughly around the AD 60 - AD 70 period which many Christians are certain of the fact that it was the first Gospel to be written after the death of Jesus about thirty years after these happenings. The author is one of two possibilities, Mark, the twelve disciple who wrote it himself, or a fellow Jew, John Mark who appeared further on in the Bible around the times of Peter, Paul and Barnabas who could have been a family member of John Mark as it states in [Col 4:10] and is also fairly prominent in Acts e.g.
The act of healing is prominent throughout the Hebrew Bible. Although these references appear in different forms, it can be interpreted by any individual who is interested. Throughout the Hebrew Bible, questions arise that are not different from the ones we ask in this day and age in regards to healing. It has become a central theory among biblical religion that being healthy and having a good well-being are formed in the design of God and that disease is established in the order of reality (Hasel, 2). This paper will discuss the origination of the act of healing and how it is portrayed in the Hebrew Bible.
(Radmacher, Allen, and House,2004, p. 503) Jeremiah was told by God that, "Before I made you in your mother's womb, I chose you. Before you were born, I set you apart for a special work. I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." (NCV, Jeremiah 1: 4-5) The people of Judah once had an affinity with God until they began having an unfaithfulness to the covenant and live idolatry. The once loved and sought after love of God from the people of Judah was no more, they began to worship other Gods, trees, and rocks.
1) A supernatural encounter - Saul of Tarsus was a zealous man who thought he was doing the will of God by persecuting this sect called “The Way” but God intervened and Saul had a supernatural encounter with God on that Damascus road. (Acts 9) 2) A Direct call of God - Samuel was called by God as he sought to go to sleep. (1 Samuel 3:4) 3) Through Scriptures or prophecy - He who diligently seeks his God will find Him. God will speak to us through His Word as we read and study it and also He will send others to bring a word of prophecy
