• canon (new)
  In previous history of the world "canon" signified properly, "a straight rod," or "a carpenter\'s rule." However in the early stages of Christian religion it was used with a slightly different meaning, denoting a standard of opinion and practice. Later it became a testing rule in art, logic, grammar, and ethics. Of course in modern days when we use the term “canon” we mean -- the restriction of the number of books that compose the sacred volume. (The Canon of Truth) As such it was first u...
• Topical Listing of the Hard Sayings of Jesus

I encourage you to find a theme and then study and teach on the topics relative to that theme. I bought two copies of G.F. Bruce\'s book, so please let me know if you would like to borrow it. Please send me notes that you would like posted on th...
• Worldview Paper
  Worldview is framework of by which a person views the world around him. In my description it is how you scoped the world with your eyes. One perspective is how you think it to be. It is how one filters the world. In descriptive phrase, “it is a set of assumptions, concepts, values, or practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality” (Webster Dictionary) The question of origin breaks down for us how life began and where did mankind come from. The Bible gives us all that we need to answer t...
• About St. Christopher
  About Saint Christopher Oferro, also known as Saint Christopher was a third century martyr, meaning he was murdered as a confessor of the faith and for having moral integrity of Christ. Saint Christopher was born at Canaan and died in the year 251 in the persecutions of Decius, a Roman Emperor. He was a powerfully built guy who wandered the world looking for adventures.

• Saint cecilia
  Saint Cecilia is said to have heard heavenly music inside her heart when she was forced to marry the pagan, Valerian. A wealth of music, art and festivals in honor of St. Cecilia has grown from this little bit of information from her biography. She is the acclaimed patron saint of music, especially church music, as well as that of musicians, composers, instrument makers and poets. The name Cecilia means blind and so, although we don't know if she herself couldn't see, she is also the Catholic ...
• The Caste System
  The Caste System The institution of caste system, one of the basic pillars of the Hindu society can be considered as old as the Hindu society itself. But over the years, the institution has undergone a metamorphic change. However there is a stupendous difference between the caste system prevalent and practiced then and now. The caste system is supposed to have a divine origin and sanction behind it. The caste stratification of the Indian society had its origin in the chaturvarna system. Accord...
• james
  Throughout the Middle Ages literacy rates were extremely low in Europe, and hand copied manuscripts were expensive. The Bible and many legal documents were written in Latin or Greek, which were becoming increasingly dead languages used only by the church. Moreover, the statute of Valencia and other statutes had made it illegal for anyone not authorized by the Church to have even the Latin and Greek versions of the of the Bible. The laity therefore had to rely on the Church, government and power...

• the almighty God n my life
  I am me. No one knows me better than myself. Even though I’m already a year through high school, I’m still always learning new things about who I am. Only I can control the way I behave, the way I feel, and the way I react in different situations, no one else has that ability. So it should come as no surprise that I know more about myself than any other individual. There are many characteristics of me that make me unique and distinct from any other person. The best word that describes me wou...
• Angelology and Satanology
  In theology, the concept of dualism assumes that there are two separate entities—good and evil—which are equally powerful. In “Christian” dualism, God represents the good entity and Satan represents the evil entity. However, the truth is that even though Satan has some power, he is no equal to God Almighty, for he was created by God as an angel before he rebelled. “All angels were originally created holy to praise God and to serve Him” (Towns 335). The name Lucifer “means “bearer of light” r...
• three feast discussed in john
  Jesus Christ presents Himself as the Messiah. There are plenty of underlying symbolisms that Jesus correlates with the Feasts of the Tabernacles. God in His ultimate plan presents an awesome illustration for Jewish people to see clearly that Christ was and is the Messiah. For the most part, the Jews have rejected Christ. In the book of John 7:38-39, Christ displays an underlying symbolism in regards to the Feast of the Tabernacles. The Jews practiced reading scriptures about “the water” that wa...

• Applying Theories of myth
  The categories by which we distinguish the motifs operating in the world’s cosmogonic myths should not be used too rigidly. As should be apparent, a great many creation myths employ more than one motif. The Yuki and Genesis cosmogonies just discussed employ both the deus faber and ex nihilo motifs. The Nordic creation myths featuring the evil giant Ymir tend to combine accretion/conjunction, secretion, and sacrifice motifs—the latter evident, for example, in the Edda in which Odin and his ...

  The Eight Miracles Featured in John In the book of John we find eight great sign miracles that inspire us to look to Christ believe and live. All of these sign miracles point to the deity of Christ. John 20:30-31 reads, “Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that at believing you may have life in His name. These...
• Identity Crisis
  THE IDENTITY CRISIS OF A SAVIOR INTRODUCTION With so much invested in this particular passage, Mark attempts to direct his readers to the attention of the suffering Messiah who must suffer many things, be killed, and in three days rise again. This passage is the turning point in Marks’ gospel for it deals with the identity of Jesus and how the disciples continue to misunderstand who He is. There is instruction on discipleship a...
