Nestorianism, named after Nestorius, was built on the denial that Jesus was fully God and fully human at the same time; his explanation was something like a split personality between the human and the divine nature. The two natures could cannot coexist at the same time, however, they can switch back and forth; although Jesus has both natures inside on him, they could not both at the same time. Eutychianism was named after Eutyches, a man who opposed Nestorianism, who believed that Jesus’ divinity and human nature combined to create a new, third thing. He taught, “Christ’s humanity was so united with his divinity that it was not the same as ours” (Quash and Ward, 41). If Jesus was not able to be both man and God at the same time, he would not have the ability to save us from our sins.

Messianic Psalms also describe the resurrection of Christ. When David wrote Psalms 16:10, he refered to the resurrection of Christ: “Because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy one to see decay”. This is reflected in Acts 13: 35 when Paul writes, “So it is written elsewhere: You shall not let your Holy One see decay.” This clearly indicated that Christ will die but will resurrect through

God hates idols, especially ones that the Government is built around. In Quo Vadis, the ancient Roman Government is all about worshipping these false gods. Marcus Vincius, who is the main character, is a rich citizen of Rome. He has to throw all that away, to follow this girl he is fallen in love with and become a Christian. God made an impact upon Marcus who then impacted the Government after becoming a Christian.

However, their beliefs regarding Jesus Christ, known to be “the Son of God,” differs greatly. So who exactly is Jesus Christ? Catholic Christianity believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, which makes him almighty, divine and eternal. In contrast, Islam teaches that Jesus is the prophet of God (Allah) and he is as pure as Allah, but he is not the Son of God. The teachings of Catholic Christianity and Islam regarding Jesus Christ differ greatly because Jesus is the Son of God in Catholic Christianity and only a prophet in the Islamic faith.

Wilkinson goes on to say that God has power over the cosmos, the nations, our imagination and that His creation can trust Him (199). The Latter Prophets also reveal the theme of new creation. In Isaiah 65, the Sovereign Lord says that He will create the new heavens and a new earth (vs. 17a) and that the former things will

During the time of Protestant Reformation within the Church, John Calvin, an influential religious reformer throughout Europe, having studied Martin Luther's teachings, decided to establish his own religious sect which has been described as a "theocracy." John Calvin being one of the most indisputable reformers in Church history, was very strict on upholding the teachings of Christ stated within the Scriptures as being the teachings of how to live our own lives of faith. According to Calvin, he explains that the Church is, "a society of all the saints, a society spread over the whole world, and existing in all ages, yet bound together by the one doctrine and the one Spirit of Christ." (16). Hinging off this theme of a Church of Saints, Calvin

Yet in order to combat this falsity, John continues to balance the full humanity of Jesus as well as his divinity. Jesus has power over the elements—water into wine, raising Lazarus from the dead, among other miracles; and Jesus human—he got tired, he wept and he got angry. All in all, John gives the church and people today clarity about Jesus’ full humanity and

• And, that those believers who will be alive when Christ comes like a thief in the night will exit the earth in mortal bodies that will instantaneously be changed into immortal, incorruptible and glorified bodies WITHOUT HAVING TO PASS THROUGH DEATH, IS DESCRIBED BY THE APOSTLE PAUL AS A MYSTERY OR PART OF DIVINE REVELATION THAT HAD NOT BEEN KNOWN BEFORE! (I Corinthians 15:51).

At the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II gave his famous sermon beckoning the Christians to join together with the Byzantines and recapture Jerusalem, from the Muslims control. Exaggerating the anti-Christian acts of the Muslims, Urban exhorted Christendom to go to war for the Sepulcher, promising that the journey would count as full penance and that the homes of the absent ones would be protected by a truce.i Pope Urban II sermon spurred many people ranging from the ordinary citizens to the elite military, to join and fight for the Holy Land. In 1096, the People 's Crusade also known as the Popular Crusade took place. Feeling inspired Pope Urban 's sermon, a French man called Peter the Hermit became a leader for the Crusades.

Their teaching is that Jesus born of Joseph and Mary because as a man, He normally born of His parents; they refused the virgin birth. The Jewish Christians presume that Jesus is not God and only human because believe that God is only one; Shemma or Ehad, especially for the early church. Jesus is not God; He is Messiah who endowed at His baptism the divine power from the Holy Spirit. Jesus was a merely human being and when he was Baptist, the Holy Spirit grant to Him the divine power for Him become a Messiah. Jesus was born normally as an ordinary human and not conceived by Holy

This event rallied the Christians onto victory and laid to rest any latent desire of Christians to convert to Islam. At the same time, Allen assumes that the appearance of the Holy Lance caused an increase in the desire by Christian crusaders to convert the Muslim, rather than kill them. Peter the Hermit’s most interesting heroics occurred when he attempted to convert Kerbogha to Christianity. Kerbogha a great leader and fierce Muslim warrior refused the offer of conversion and the suggestion of resolving the conflict by using the battle of champions. Allen question Peter’s motives in asking Kerbogha to convert, however, it is Allen’s position that Peter was the type of man who would have ceased upon the appearance of the Holy Lance and then dedicated himself to the conversion of all people to Christianity.

This story focuses on the misunderstanding of the Christian God because God is incomprehensible because God does not state “Deliver or be damned”. To contradict that last statement, there are stories in the Old

American Foreign Policy 1914-1941: Originally, the United States took a more isolationist stance to foreign policy and tried not to intervene in World Affairs outside of North America in accordance with the Roosevelt Corollary. This changed after the Zimmerman Telegram and the sinking of the Lusitania, which thrusted the United States onto the world stage for World War I. After the conclusion of World War I, the United States returned to isolationist foreign policy during the Roaring Twenties to focus on improving the country from within. This held true throughout the Great Depression as the Untitled States faced economic struggles. Once World War II began, the United States began to once again focus on being an international force.

GREEK GODS The Greek mythology is said to have emerged from Homer’s famous works, such as “Odyssey” and “Iliad”. He has set high standards for epic conventions which has influenced many Greek writers, for instance Virgil. One of the most important components in traditional epic conventions is ‘intervention of Gods’. The term “deus ex machine” means an unexpected intervention by a character or object, which helps in resolving a problem which throughout the text seems unsolvable.
