Transcript of The Apostles Creed
The Apostles Creed
Year 11 - Religion
-Article 1-
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
-Article 4-
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
-Article 3-
Who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
Article 1 states that the existence of God is true and that God is a triune God, stated from the Bible as God the Son, God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit even though there is only one God. This article also states that God created me, the people around me, all the creatures and the Earth that we are living on today. Therefore, this gives God an impression of a divine and powerful profile who was the source of all creations.
-Article 5-
He descended into hell. The third day he arose

-Article 10- the forgiveness of sins
Article 10 is very important in the everyday life of a Christian and Catholic. It is important as Christians and Catholics know if they do something to sin then God will forgive them if they have taken the right footsteps in life which are done through the two of the seven sacraments, baptism and reconciliation.
-Article 11- the resurrection of the body
Article 11 talks about how Catholics not only believe that our soul endless but also that at one point in time our body is scheduled to rise up from the grave. Simply what this article is trying to say is that death is a temporary detachment between the soul and the human body as a prediction for the end of the world.
-Article 12- and the life everlasting
The concluding article comes with a strong meaning for Catholics mainly on the Resurrection of their bodies. As Jesus died it is only right and just that we die as well and if he rose to heaven then it is also only right and just that us humans shall all rise as well. From here Jesus will be judging the good and bad souls and therefore placing them where he thinks they really belong either in heven or hell.

The book that I read was the Apostles of Disunion by Charles B. Dew. This book explains the action of secession commissioners who were given the assignment to travel throughout the South and to other slave states in the years 1860 and 1861. Eventually, their efforts were for not because those men were found guilty of recruiting people to follow secessionary ideals as well as supporting secessionary ideals. I think Dew is trying to get his main point across that people are mistaken if they think that the preservation of slavery in the south was not the primary ideal that lead to the secession and Civil War. I think that he tries to explain through most of the information given to us that states rights may have sparked the secession and civil war but it
Amendment 6 “Marcellus William didn’t die, but others will” Wisconsin State Journal Published Monday, August 28, 2017 Section A Page 1 Amendment Six says a suspect has the right to have a quick, public and a fair trial. Amendment Six also is in the Bill Of Rights. In court, he or she can see who accused him or her.
Martin Luther King used logos and repetition to persuade and explain his side of the story to his “fellow clergymen”. When MLK said, “There have been more unsolved bombings of negro homes and churches in Birmingham than any city in this nation. These are the hard, brutal and unbelievable facts.” (Page 7 paragraph 1). This persuades the reader by stating facts about what is happening in Birmingham that you cannot disagree with.
Through my research, I found out that Mormons do believe in the virgin birth, but they believe that Jesus’ father was Adam (not the Holy Ghost), and therefore Adam is also God. In the book “The Maze of Mormonism” by Dr. Walter Martin, Brigham Young is quoted from his Journal of Discourses: When the Virgin Mary conceived the child Jesus, the Father had begotten him in his own likeness. He was not begotten by the Holy Ghost. And who is the Father? He is the first of the human family; and when he took a tabernacle, it was begotten by his Father in heaven, after the same manner as the tabernacles of Cain, Abel, and the rest of the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve… Jesus, our elder brother, was begotten in the flesh by the same character that
He created the Heavens and the Earth on the first day and the light on the second and so
Over the years, opinions on God have changed. Some people believed that God is terrifying and vengeful while others disagreed saying that He is loving and accepting of all. Jonathan Edwards was a Calvinist, who argued that unless one never sins, he or she is most likely doomed to hell. Edwards believed that humans are powerless in comparison to the power of God. In “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” by Jonathan Edwards, the author achieves his purpose of arguing that in order to be saved from an afterlife in hell, one must ask for forgiveness and accept Christ, through the uses of intense imagery, a terrifying tone, and understandable metaphors.
In chapter 3 of Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis talks about what it means to own Christianity. He says "If we don't truly know what the gospel is, we have to find an explanation for Christianity." Meaning that if we do not know what the gospel is or what it is teaching us, then we try to define it by our own standards, and that is where it gets messy. Medearis talks about how Christianity is more than a religion, but it is a relationship and people tend to not understand that. He explains why people are so defensive and put up their guards towards Christians, because Christians can be so judgemental.
It roots to our idea of the philosophy of life, in terms of reflection on our existence as humans and not only the contingence but the limitations thereof. Death encompasses the individual’s fundamental existence on the one hand and reshapes our concepts of its nature complementing one another in order to enlighten the idea of it. The manifestation of an individual to herself/himself is made probable by nothingness. The notion of spirituality and death in existentialism.
Many of us have thought about life after death. What happens to us after we die? Where do we go? What happens to our body? Do we go to heaven?
After the realization that all people are sinners, then comes the repentance. People must ask God for forgiveness; they must confess their sins; they receive God’s forgiveness, and they are to obey His
Langston Hughes used rhetoric words in his story “Salvation,” to provide foreshadows, and emotional appeals to his struggles in becoming religiously saved. Hughes began his story by stating “I was saved from sin when I was going on thirteen (179).” The irony in this opening is that Hughes initially believed in the presence of Jesus, but unexpected pressures pushed him to betray and deceive his faith. The setting of Hughes struggles took place in a religious ceremony in his Auntie Reed’s church. In this service, many young children like Hughes were gathered to be spiritually cleansed by the light of Jesus.
In the Christian faith, Christians believe that once your earthly body has passed on that your spiritual body lifts to heavenly with all of your brother and sisters in God to live eternally, only if you believe and
Methodology The Four Theological Voices Model The Four Theological Voices Model was developed by the Action Research: Church and Society team (ARCS), consisting of Helen Cameron, Deborah Bhatti, Catherine Duce, James Sweeney and Clare Watkins. In the book Talking about God in Practice, the ARCS team explains four theological voices which they discovered as they examined the practice of the Church. The four voices are: (i) normative theology, (ii) formal theology, (iii) espoused theology and (iv) operant theology.3 Cameron et al argue that these voices are intertwined, and that together they express the whole of Christian theology.4 The team 's main thesis is that practice is essentially theology, and that theology subsequently is embodied throughout the life of the Church and expressed in the lived practice of the Church through these four theological voices.5 Cameron et al is clear that this model should not be seen a complete description, but rather serve as a interpretative working tool for theological reflection upon how practice and theology are connected.6 Critique of the method While Cameron et al do not explicitly describe any specific direction of movement in the communication between the four voices, they argue that there may be a rather significant relationship between the normative and formal theology on the one hand, and the espoused and operant theology on the other.7 They also suggest that the model enables a challenging of formal and normative
However, Zoroastrianism predates Christianity, therefore these ideas were already in place before Christianity was being transcribed. An article summoned up the belief that “....upon death and according to its earthly deeds and its acceptance of the Christian faith, the soul enters Heaven, Purgatory or Hell. There it awaits the Last Judgment when the dead shall rise again, the redeemed to enjoy life everlasting and the unsaved to suffer eternally” (Bodhinatha Veylanswami 40-41). This passage summarizes the Christian idea that upon death the soul will either enter Heaven, Purgatory or Hell depending on how that person chose to live their life. When Jesus returns all the living and the dead will either enter eternal paradise or eternal suffering.
Besides Jesus, Paul, who called himself as an Apostle, was influential in the beginning of Christianity. People even claimed him as the “founder of Christianity”. Paul was the one that brought Jesus’s message to the world. He went on three missionary journeys, and the fourth journey to Rome in order to spread Christian faith and the development of its various institutions. In addition of his responsible of geographically and culturally expanding Christian movement, he also extended it as well as ethnic lines.
