INTRODUCTION Have you ever read a book or watched a movie or TV show in which the end of the story leaves you in a complete mystery? Isn’t it frustrating to be left hanging on the edge of your seat wondering who the murderer was or what was to be the fate of some individual. I like a good mystery book or movie as long as it unfolds in the end. It isn’t a good movie or book if I’m not kept on the edge of my seat and then at the end it all makes sense. We all have the desire to find out the unknown

Paul and his disciples are trustworthy as well. Most historians can agree that St. Paul wrote his epistles during the middle of the first century. These epistles were written in response to troubles and problems of the early Church, which were growing as more people were

Demonology For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”---Ephesians 6:12 Those that believe in the Bible should not have any reason at all believing in the devil and demons. It is more difficult to accept the fact that the majority of Christians do not believe in the devil than it is to believe in an actual devil. The Bible clearly states that there is a

Michael Tomlin New Testament Dr. Young Prompt 1: The portrayal of the disciples in Matthew and Mark The books of Matthew and Mark are two Gospels of the New Testament that shows a lot of similarities in the ways they portrayed the ways of Jesus. The book of Matthew has been considered in many cases the most important Gospel in the New Testament. As we all know Matthew is the most Jewish of all the other four gospels and mainly focuses on the deeds of Jesus. Matthew was an educated man with a Jewish

3. And as He (Jesus) sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (Matthew 24:3 KJV). The reference to the “destruction” of the temple in Matt. 24:1-2 is in connection with

Jesus is at His last supper with his disciples at a time when the Jews were celebrating the Passover. The Passover is one of the most celebrated Jewish festivals of the year because it brings to remembrance how God saved a people and also piloted the birth of a new nation.

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus uses parables to teach the other disciples. The parable of the unforgiving slave portrays God to be as forgiving to us as we are to others. The parable is used when Peter questions Jesus about how many times a person should forgive another who keeps offending.

hundred and seventy-seven members of the convention. The article lists each member in the convention, their age, place of birth, occupation, number of possessed slaves, possession of real and personal property for each delegate.

None of the delegates were natives of Texas, “one hundred and sixty-one members, or 90.9 percent of the convention, were born in slaveholding states.” Under occupation, 40 percent or seventy-seven members

We do not have a right to expect Christ to be in our churches if we are not making disciples. The church has been given the commission to make disciples and if when the church ceases to do so it starts its descent towards dying. When the church begins to die and there is no response from the congregation it is easier to start a new church plant instead of trying to resurrect

Before any conclusions can be made regarding the message of the Four Gospels, it is important to consider whether they are historically accurate. Arguments swing between them being either accurate in their portrayal of historical events, or that very few of the events in them took place.

Magdalene in the Bible was considered one of the first female apostle and one of the women who visited Jesus tomb after his crucifixion and seen that Jesus had risen into the sky. Then, she went to tell the disciples what she saw.
