These miracles consisted of raising the dead. This fact shows he was also God since only God can raise the dead. Jesus’ other miracles included making blind people see, curing people with leprosy, turning water into wine, and several others. Jesus taught people to adhere to the commandments and to love one another no matter if they were a sinner or a righteous man. Jesus preached the word of God to his people in the form of parables. He gathered his disciples together to help him preach the word of God and convert people to Christianity. Jesus is different from other humans for the reason that he never sinned. He never sinned because he was God’s son sent to sacrifice himself for the sins of humans. During Jesus’ life, non-Christians became upset with him for preaching that he was the Messiah. Pilate charged Jesus with blasphemy and sentenced him to hang on the cross until death. The Romans whipped and tortured Jesus and he had to carry his cross to Golgotha (Renan, 1864), where he was nailed down to it and then it was raised. After he died, the Romans removed Jesus’ body from the cross and allowed the Jews to bury him in a tomb. After three days, his body had vanished and he appeared before his disciples as proof of his resurrection. Jesus’ …show more content…

Although motivating factors for individuals are different, the Biblical worldview is the same whether the person is a manager or an employee. While there are a number of questions that determine a person’s worldview such as identity and origin, people tend to discover (or think they discover) their purpose or meaning at work. With this in mind, Christians recognize that their purpose is to know and worship God. Additionally, Followers of Christ know that they should respect and serve (within reason) their managers as they serve Christ. On the other hand, managers should treat their subordinates in the same manner, since the Lord is the Master of both (Ephesians 6: 5-9, New International Version).

He was in a state of delusion and he could have blacked out. The Romans, thinking he was dead, took him off of the cross and three days after his “death” he walked out of his tomb as though he had risen from the dead. This means that he would have had to gain enough strength and healing from the beating a few days before. It seems nearly impossible for someone to be healed of that type of pain and suffering without serious medical attention, unless Jesus actually did rise from the dead. If there was no death, there could be no

Basic Christianity is a crucial foundation that must be deeply entrenched within the hearts and minds of believers. The essential and basic principles aid every Christian by showing and teaching them how great God’s love is for us. In John Stott’s Book, “Basic Christianity,” he reveals insight on what it is to be a Christian. He also dispels many erroneous teachings that have been brought into the Christian community.

Therefore, Christ in us, is the only hope for this world and He is the Kingdom of God. Christ is as much God and Holy Spirit as he is Christ. This means there is one God who infinitely exists as three persons (1 John 5:7), each having entirely the fullness of the Godhead, and entirely the intrinsic nature of God. The three, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are one, in complete unison and

Incorporation of elements of the modern or postmodern worldview is not compatible with the Christian worldview. Modern and postmodern worldviews are based on human ideas and rejection of God. The loss of the single story holding a community together has led to allowing everyone to create their own story (Sire, p. 216). This process was notated within the time frame of the Greco- Romans when Plato started to explain the order of the world without recourse to myth or divine authority (Goheen & Bartholomew, p. 72). Cultural acceptance of the belief there can be multiple perspectives allows for the
