  • Overview Of Chapter II Of The Gnostic Gospels One God, One Bishop

    178 Words  | 1 Pages

    In Chapter II of The Gnostic Gospels, “One God, One Bishop”, Pagels outline how the Orthodox Christians seek to exclude the Gnostics with a creed that confirms one true God. Pagels intent is to describe how both religions differentiate in their meaning of how God shows his sovereignty. The creed was to help identify the Orthodox from the Gnostics “by confessing one God, who is both “Father Almighty” and “Maker of heaven and earth” (28). The Gnostics claim the Orthodox Christians worship a false God because of their “all-good” God creating a fallen world. Through discovering texts in history, Pagels support a claim from Marcion (a dualist) who believes there are two different Gods.

    God wanted to show man that he too can sacrifice and suffer; therefore he sent Jesus down to dwell among man to show man that God can be flesh. Jesus differs from man in that, he is the word of God and was sent by God as an example of himself for man. Jesus did not have the same flaw of curiosity as man had. Jesus was able to teach and spread God’s word without doubting its context. Jesus was believed to be the Messiah that the people of Israel wanted to free them from slavery.

  • The Book Of Acts And The Gospel Of Luke

    As I did research on the book of Acts, I found out that Luke actually wrote this book. Some say that the book of Acts is almost like a sequel or a continuation on the Gospel of Luke. Like the the book of Luke, it is also addressed to the same man which is Theophilus. Even though the author was not identified by name in either book, the opinion of the majority of early Christians and the supporting evidence from within the two books do in fact point to Luke. The Holy Spirit inspired Luke to write to Theophilus to fill a need in the church-- specifically to the first Gentile Christians throughout the middle-eastern and Mediterranean regions of the Roman Empire.

    There were those who listened and followed Jesus, some of which were in the original twelve disciples, who struggled with the duality of this message. Most assuredly Jesus was speaking of a physical kingdom to come. This would be the kingdom in which he will reign victoriously and his followers will reign with him. The failure of previous messiahs is that they too declared a new kingdom, but they failed. Matthew’s first readers would have understood the struggle of those hearing Jesus and longing for him to overthrow Rome and free Israel from the evil empire.

    Yet, while one writer might pick to highlight the parables of Jesus, another writer might skip over the parables and reside on the nature and personality of our Lord. Putting all four gospel books together gives us a more complete and better-off portrayal of the life and effort of Jesus the Messiah. The book of Matthew is the first of the synoptic gospels and it was written to disclose the Lord Jesus as the Savior, the King of the Jews, from the line of David. It also was written to persuade the Jews that Jesus Christ was undeniably their lengthy anticipated Messiah.

Moreover, given the Jesus’ travels across Galilee, Paul reminds the Galatians they did not receive the Holy Spirit until they not only followed Jesus’ teachings, but also believed is words.

    In the fourth Gospel, John’s purpose was to proclaim that “you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and that by believing you may have life in His name” (20:31). Therefore, John presents Christ as the Son of God (1:34, 49); who was sent from God (3:2; 6:46;, etc.) and always spoke the message God gave Him (3:34; 7:16-17). Knowing and understanding this Gospel, it has its divine purpose of words, such as, “life” and “believe,” and the titles “Son” and “Son of God,” are used many more times than in the Synoptic Gospels. However, there are other characteristic words of John are “true,” “truth,” “love,” “witness,” and “world.” However, used forty-two times in the New Testament, “Son of God” affirms the deity of Christ.
