The bible said before Jesus was born, there were only God and the angels in heaven. There was an angel call Lucifer meaning “brightness” or “days star” as many books translate it. He was one the greatest, most powerful and most amazing angel that God had ever had. He was above all angels like he was the other god. But he wasn’t happy with the position he was in. He let pride and jealousy got the best of him. He wanted to be his own god. He wanted to be more powerful, almighty, another word he wanted to be higher than God. He even tried to convince God to worship him. Instead, God sent him down to hell where he created his own kingdom. (And this how bad started). Lucifer is also known as Satan or devil now has a kingdom, he needed people on his kingdom and he needed people to worship him and willing to do anything to get them. That includes killing, torturing, and other things that cause pain and agony. He also did good things but always for the price of a dreadful thing. But God just wants peace, love, and harmony to reign in the world. However, at times of grief, it’s challenging to believe there’s a God. …show more content…
Just like sometime we let our children experience things that can cause pain when we know it will bring about a greater good, God could also have good reasons to allow evil acts”. We were created free, but we abuse that freedom by doing everything that’s possible including wrong. the bad things that we do causes suffering in the world. The suffering is the consequences of the wrong we did. God allow suffering and evil in the world as a price for all the wrong we did. I would that’s we evil that’s happening in the world is our own doing. And God allows them because we have to face the consequences of our choices. However, not all evil can be explained with that approach. for example, natural disasters we don’t do nothing to cause them and we can’t do nothing to prevent
1. Q: How was King John I generally perceived as a king by his followers/citizens? A: Under King John's reign, he issued a new coinage system that not only helped sustain the kingdom's economy, but promoted the importation and exportation of goods and the development of urban areas. King John's motives would later escalate taxation, punishing those who weren't able to pay them.
While God wants his creatures to do what is considered morally right, they cannot be infinitely free without the possibility of moral evil. Thus, God cannot show his omnipotence and prevent the evil in the world without destroying free will. Therefore, God must allow for the possibility of evil. His creatures are then capable of committing evil acts and releasing evil into the world. The free will to defy God and do what is considered wrong is the reason for most of the evil in the world.
Did you know that Jesus was hiding inside of that Ram when Abraham slaughtered it on the alter? God Himself had prepared this supplying and it materialized at the specific second it was essential. What took place in this trade is that God obligated Himself to perform what He had promised by way of the obedience of a gentleman. From this level on Jesus in human form is essential to carry forth the deliverance of our species from mortality. PS, He obtained the task carried out. This brings us to the on earth ministry of Jesus in human type.
At the beginning of time, God created mankind, creatures made in his own image, with whom He could have relationship with. Unfortunately, the original humans, Adam and Eve, shattered this relationship by turning away from God and sinning, putting themselves before Him. All of the descendants of Adam and Eve, mankind itself, have and continue to suffer from the repercussions of this Original Sin. Ever since that time, thousands of years ago, God has been working through human history in order to repair His relationship with Humanity, redeeming them from the effects of sin. His plan of salvation began with a covenant He made with a nomad named Abraham, whose descendants became the nation of Israel. This covenant established the Lord's intentions to bring about redemption for humanity through the nation of Israel. Sadly though, the ancient Israelites time and again were unfaithful to their covenant with God, and would worship the false idols of the nations around them. Because of their sin of apostasy, the nation of Israel eventually split in two, and was then wiped out by foreign invaders, sending in the Hebrew people into exile. It was during this exile that the Prophets, men who would speak on behalf of God, began to predict the coming of the Messiah, an 'anointed one' of
Who is Jesus? The answer to this question is a crucial point that plays a key role in why Jesus was killed. Finding information about Jesus of Nazareth is actually fairly easy, because Christianity, which was founded on the teachings and lessons of Jesus, takes up around a third of the world’s population with its members (Sheler 1). Conversely, the hard part comes when faced with the question; Is this information accurate? The Christians back then, and still, today believe that Jesus was the Christ, the Messiah that God had sent to save them from sin and death. “He walked out of the Judean desert nearly 2,000 years ago, an unknown itinerant preacher, proclaiming to all who would listen that the Kingdom of God was at hand. It was said that
Today we want to look at the causality that took place in the Garden Tomb during the 6 day war.
John nine verses one through seven is the being of the grace giving and truth telling of Jesus in this section. When Jesus spoke with the man that was blind I believe he ministered to him and gave him a brief explanation of who he was. The disciples asked him if this man sinned from birth or did his parents sin? Jesus used the truth telling when he answered the disciples by saying this man didn't sin at birth and neither has his parents sinned. It also gives truth-telling by letting the disciples know that it was to give God the glory. Now for the grace-giving part of Jesus, is him giving the Blind man back his sight. The reason why this was grace-giving was because this man had been blind his whole life, but when he came in contact with Jesus, he showed him grace by healing him.
All Christians believe that Jesus is their savior, but there are many different ways his death can be interpreted. One of the ways we can look at Jesus’s death his through historical accounts. Almost all historians believe that there was a man named Jesus who had a large following, and was put to death by the Romans. But why, from a historical point of view, would Jesus be crucified? One major reason is that the Romans seen Jesus as a political threat. The Romans view order as the most important thing in their empire, and around that time there was a zealot uprising. Then, they see Jesus preaching about the coming of his “Kingdom” and so they thought that he was leading a revolution. Therefore, Jesus was executed at the hands of the Romans for being a Lestes, meaning bandit or outlaw. However, Jesus
Once upon a time, in a far off land lived a man named Jesus. Jesus was the Son of God. His mother was named Mary, and his earthly father was Joseph. Joseph was of the line of King David, whose line of heritage was traced back all the way to Adam and Eve. Jesus lived a life of ridicule, judgement, spirituality, love, joy, faith, and holiness. He had the power to heal the sick and paralyzed, give sight to the blind, speech to the mute, and life to the dead. This may very well sound like a fairy tale, but all of this was as true and real as you and me. Jesus was the living proof of God, and was literally God on earth. Jesus was perfect in every way, and was without sin; yet the Pharisees did not like what Jesus was preaching and accused him of
The primary focus of each of the three quests for the historical Jesus, endeavors a series of approach to challenge the legitimacy of the Synoptic Gospels as an unreliable resource to study Jesus existence; even more, to question the NT portrayal of Jesus veracity, through an intellectual group of scholars applying other ancient book in their research into what is known as today “the Quest of the Historical Jesus.” Unlike the first century Christians, “It was widely assumed that the Jesus presented in the Bible was the man who lived and died—and rose—in Palestine in the first century.”1

friends. Their speaking in foreign tongues became their badge of honor. Competitiveness emerged to see who was more orthodox and more gentle and humble. All their time was devoted to performing good deeds as hurriedly as possible, not wanting their consecration to be challenged. One easy method to prove their devotion was to discover those in hiding without the mark and reveal them to the police. Everyone believed it a duty to report to authorities anyone not giving their loyalty to sweet Jesus. When such sinful people refused to repent, and were publicly executed, Christians of the world shook their heads in disbelief. They could not imagine the extent of the depth of a fallen nature capable of blinding people to such ruin.
The ministry of Jesus began when Jesus was 30 years old, after his baptism in the river Jordan. Within three and a half years of his ministry Jesus did more miracles than any man in the world could have accomplished. He preached about the ways of changing lives and often gave parables to educate people. Even though he was rejected Jesus continued to spread the gospel in different cities around Israel, including Capernaum and Bethsaida.
The Jesus Paper. Question 1. John’s purpose in writing the gospel is so that people might believe “that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing, [one] may have life in his name” (Jn. 20:31). So, the essential identity of Jesus is “the Christ” which is a Greek word for “chosen one” or “anointed one.”
The problems of evil existing in society are difficult to understand is because it questions God’s reasoning for allowing evil to exist. To challenge and better understand God’s motives are the objections to the moral or intrinsic evil actions created by man. An illustration presented in this paper of the immoral evil of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden when they broke their commitment to God in the Garden of Eden by eating the apple. Another instance of a moral evil was the act of murder committed by Cain that demonstrates that God allows moral evil to happen in society. Could it be that God permits man to commit moral evils by letting man make their own decisions; may they be good or evil? The sins of man are moral evils committed by man
