God is also truthful. Putting this all together, one must understand that because of his truthful nature, God would immediately use his omnipotence to correct any errors that would be written in his Holy Scripture (Erickson, 251). If the Bible is erroneous then it is not inspired by God. This is the serious nature of the topic of inerrancy of Scripture. The most solid basis for the inerrancy of Scripture can be found in the claims of the Bible itself.
The Book of Roman is actually a letter that Paul wrote to the believers within Rome; the book of Romans is the last written letter of the seven New Testament letters. The theme of the letter is entitle the gospel, Paul speaks of the Gentiles worshiping idols, Jew failing to obey the law, Paul explains that God’s promise to the Jews about being circumcise, does not automatically mean you will receive salvation, he tells them you can only be saved through faith, and believing Jesus Christ is the son of God. He explains how Adam’s fall brought sin and death into the world, and being baptism symbolizes the death of a sinner and his rebirth into God's grace. The letter told the Romans the proper way of living as Christian Paul spoke of harmony, humility, and love he urges the Romans to be charitable, forbearance, and submissive. Titus The Book of
Not only has God left clear evidence of himself in the world he has made, but this evidence is actually perceived by people: It is “clearly seen” “God has made it plain to them” (v. 19). Most theologians have, therefore, rightly concluded that alongside “special” revelation—God’s acts and their authoritative interpretation in Scripture—we must also place “natural” revelation—God’s disclosure of information about himself in the world. Romans 1 clearly demonstrate that all people have heard God’s revelation of certain truths about himself in the world, and all people have access to that truth. Every person is guilty of rejecting that knowledge of God universally available. God reacts to the human decision to turn from him by consigning people to the consequences of their actions.
Theologians like Dan Story obviously believe that no one person can judge. Only God can judge the hearts of humans. The morality of every person’s heart will be taken into account on the Day of Judgment. Sin and the Human Condition When recognizing sin, you must know where morality is founded. It is founded in God, Who did not only create the Ten Commandments, but He is the standard and the law.
to C. 30 C.E. Most of the martyrs knew that they would die spreading the so called good news of Jesus of Nazareth and some even wanted to die believing that was the only way to have an afterlife in heaven. Of these martyrs one of the more interesting and important is a man named Justin Martyr. So who is this Justin Martyr? According to Bart D. Ehrman’s book After the New Testament Justin Martyr was a Christian philosopher and apologist.
The Pardoner is a prime example of his presentation of humans because he showed that he had good intentions, to help people and to pardon their sins, but he also had his evil side, which was to tell people that they have sinned simply to earn himself a few extra coins. But I ask this, is he really evil, or is he good? Chaucer didn’t think either or. He felt that a person is a person, no matter what they have done or how they think. He didn’t
As a result, people are without excuse.” According to Paul, the natural world reflects God's invisible attributes. It reflects his eternal power, and his divine nature. The Apostle then makes the point that since these invisible attributes are clearly perceived, then all people are without excuse for worshiping him and acknowledging Him as God. The Apostle then goes on to state, “For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation for God's sons to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to futility – not willingly, but because of Him who
Introduction As Paul starts with the list of sins (Romans 1: 21-31), he left no stone unturned in his epistles. Paul’s writings are the standard for one’s understanding of a Biblical worldview. He discussed who God is (Romans 1: 20), man’s sin against God (Romans 1: 21-31), salvation through Jesus (Romans 3: 21-22), and how one should live under the righteousness of faith (Romans 5: 1) (Wander 2014). These are all the standards of a Biblical worldview in Paul’s teachings. The Natural World The natural world as it was created by God in the beginning was perfect, until mankind sinned, thus turning God’s perfect natural world to a world of sin, bringing death to mankind: “Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned” (Romans 5: 12).
The singleness and agreement of God was greatly emphasized by the Jews and Muslims. However, Christians’ pronouncement of the singleness of God is most of the times misunderstood, for the reason that Christians believe in the Holy Trinity which doesn’t show defiance of monotheism but a declaration of the involvedness of the Divine Being. These three religions consider God as the beginning and cause of everything we see around us. They also believe that God is a caring God that is concern to all human beings. God is morally correct and has given us commandments that will help all of us live in a life that is according to his likeness.
