Gospel Essentials
Some 2000 years ago an eclectic nomadic group of Jews seemingly wandered the lands the Ancient Jewish King David once ruled. They were lead by a carpenter’s son, Jesus ben Joseph, of Nazareth. Jesus was charismatic and unlike any the people of that time had encountered. This man espoused teaching, declared wisdom and performed miracles that exceeded imaginations. He and his followers had no organizational base or support but lived from the provisions of God and charities of their followers (Luke 9:58). One day, Jesus asked his immediate followers, his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man [Jesus] is” (Matthew 16:13, English Standard Version)? After a variety of responses, he made the question personal and inquired of their thoughts, concerning his identity (Matthew 16:16). That question, “who is Jesus, to me?” echoes through the ages and challenges individuals both great and humbled. Today that question is an expanded, in this essay, to address; the origins of creation, the creator [God], humanity, Jesus and any attendant relationship between these participants and lastly my analysis and beliefs of these premises.
God [the Creator]
According to the Christian Worldview as presented, the origin of all that is seen and unseen is God (Colossians 1:16). As presented in lecture, God is the beginning of all things and its creator (Genesis 1). In the Christian Worldview (Understanding Worldview, 2015) “God is…eternal, infinite, omnipresent, omniscient, immutable and incomprehensible” (Origins, 2015). He is God in 3 persons, the Trinity; Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Origins, 2015). Consequently, when viewed from this position he is worthy of all worship and honor (Revelations 4:11). He is the central...

... the central theme that ties me to him is that he loves me and keeps me and even at my worst he still loved me enough to send his Son to die for my sins (Romans 5:8).
Conclusion
In the Christian world the center is God who created everything with his utilmate creation be humanity made in his image (Genesis 1:26). He designed mankind for relationship and dominion over the earth (Origins, 2015 & Human Nature, 2015). Mankind fell and turned away from God seeking a chance at equity with his creator (Departure from Wisdom, 2015). However, God had a plan to restore and redeem mankind by offering the perfect sacrifice; his one and only Son (Rescue, Redemption & Renewal, 2015). And finally how Jesus was the perfect spotless lamb that provides the only access to restored relationship with our Heavenly Father. For this design and commitment I will be eternally grateful.

    In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis1:1.) God’s perfect wisdom created everything. In Genesis 1 and 2 we can see that God has loving and gentile nature when He created the earth and heavens. God created man in his image and we are the only creation that God breathed in the breath of life for human beings (Genesis 2:7). God did not do this for any of other creations but only for humans. The Bible has many scriptures that tell us how creative God is. Genesis 1;26 states “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” God created all of this for us to have fellowship with him.

    Considering the cultural values of Joe, there are several factors which will influence how The Gospel is presented and revived. Joe is from a collectivist culture, so instead of presenting things as would generally be presented in an individualist culture I must focus more on the group benefit than the personal benefit. Joe will be more interested in how the group is affected, in this case I would focus on the benefit to his family and focus on the family aspects of Christianity. Joe clearly thinks in terms of group benefit, as he often uses the phrase “for the good of the facility” when addressing issues and proposed changes.

  • The Apologetics of Christianity

    Jesus, a name known by billions throughout the world. To each, this name means something different; savior, friend, philosopher, prophet, teacher, fraud, fake, liar. Some even believe that He is just an imaginary character from the minds of those who wrote about Him. The Westminster Dictionary of Theology describes apologetics as, "Defense, by argument, of Christian belief against external criticism or against other worldly views" (Apologetics 31-32). Though there are still many mysteries that surround the ongoing debate about Christianity, evidence can now prove some of what Christians took by faith before. Now, more than ever, there is information to prove the existence of this man that walked the earth more than two thousand years ago. Little remains of His life and works except for that which is contained within the pages of the Holy Bible. Throughout the past century alone, there have been numerous discoveries, both scientific and archeological; to further prove the existence of a man called Jesus and reinforce the Bible as a legitimate historical document. The validity of Christianity and Jesus Christ himself has been the center of religious controversy for centuries. Though His identity has not and probably never will be proven, He did exist. This paper will use apologetics to prove this so. Sufficient evidence proves the existence of Jesus and forms a firm basis for Christianity.

  • Prosperity Gospel

    In today’s society, Christianity is plagued with many disagreements about how to deal with current issues in society. These problems arise from the fact that Christians have the same fundamental beliefs, but they often disagree on the details. This is the reason why there is a panoply of denominations in the Christian faith. The way that many of the factions in Christianity interpret the word of God can be categorized into different styles of gospel, such as evangelicalism and fundamentalism. One such category that is beginning to gain popularity in today’s society, often taught in megachurches, is Prosperity Gospel. Prosperity Gospel, also called the “Health and Wealth Gospel” by Scot McKnight’s internet article “The Problem for the Prosperity Gospel,” is the belief that if humans adhere to God’s will, then He will in turn bless them with prosperous lives (McKnight). This prosperity often comes in the form of health and wealth according to many megachurches that preach this gospel. In times of economic strife, the prosperity gospel offers comfort in the hopes of having a prosperous future. It is also suspected that Prosperity Gospel has also become an outlet for the people who have a considerable amount of money as a means to justify their wealth. Whatever the reason for believing this gospel, it is important to remember that Prosperity Gospel is just one of the many ways that we can interpret the teachings of the Bible.
