En the trinity_is_not_a_biblical_belief
The Trinity is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible and was not a doctrine that Jesus or his followers preached. It was a doctrine that developed gradually over centuries through theological debates and controversies. Major Christian references acknowledge that the Trinity as it is understood today was not a part of early Christian teachings and was not fully formulated until the 4th century. The doctrine of the Trinity was established at the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE under Roman Emperor Constantine, rather than being derived directly from the Bible or teachings of Jesus.

The early Christians faced many challenges that forced them to define and defend their beliefs. They developed creeds and established orthodox doctrines to distinguish themselves from heresies like Gnosticism and Docetism. Church leadership structures emerged with bishops, priests, and deacons. Important Church Fathers like Irenaeus wrote to refute heresies and established what books were part of the biblical canon.

Between exile and 70 AD, five major Jewish sects formed including Christians. Common elements united early Christian Jews, like keeping the Sabbath. Christianity also spread due to the Roman Empire's infrastructure and Greek language. Persecution under Nero and Domitian was horrific, leading to the martyrdoms of the apostles and other early Christians like Polycarp and Ignatius.

Christianity ppt

The Council of Nicea in 325 AD established the basic tenets of Christianity. Emperor Constantine moved the capital of the Roman Empire to Constantinople and missionaries spread Christianity throughout Europe. Emperor Justinian constructed churches throughout the Byzantine Empire, showing the close connection between church and state.

Rise of Christianity
Religion in ancient Rome was polytheistic and based on Greek gods. Emperors were generally tolerant of other religions but expected people to respect Roman gods. When Rome conquered Judea in 63 BC, they allowed Hebrews to govern if they respected Roman laws, but many refused to worship Roman gods due to monotheism. This led to resistance and belief that a Messiah would restore the kingdom. Jesus was born in Judea in the early 1st century AD and began preaching a unique form of Judaism known as Christianity. He was crucified for defying Roman authority in 29 AD. The apostle Paul helped mold Jesus' teachings into a new religion of Christianity based on Jesus being God's son who

The Bible is a collection of sacred writings that are recognized as authoritative by Christians. It consists of the Old Testament and New Testament. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew and Greek, while the New Testament was written in Greek. Both divisions contain books that were written over many centuries by different human authors but were inspired by God. The Bible provides insight into God, humanity, salvation history, and guidance for how to live as Christians. It plays a foundational role for the Church as the inspired Word of God.

Revelation and liturgy
The document discusses how the Orthodox Christian liturgy is modeled after and draws inspiration from the worship described in the Book of Revelation. It notes that Revelation depicts a "cosmic liturgy" where heaven and earth worship together. Key aspects of the liturgy discussed include lifting worshipers up to heaven, participation in the communion of saints, and the Eucharist representing the marriage feast of the Lamb. The overall theme is that the liturgy allows participation in the heavenly worship and anticipation of the kingdom of God.
Confession
The document discusses the Sacrament of Confession in the Orthodox faith. It provides details on how to make a good confession, including examining one's conscience, expressing repentance, reciting sins to a priest without shame, and fulfilling any penances prescribed. The historical basis for confession is outlined from the New Testament and Church tradition, showing how confession has evolved but the priest has the power to forgive sins. The role of the priest is to act as a witness before God and give counsel. Common questions about confession are addressed, affirming the need to confess to God in the presence of a priest.
Book5 part1
The document discusses the key aspects of ecclesiology or the study of the Church. It states that the Church was founded by Jesus Christ and describes it as the body of Christ with believers as members. Several biblical passages are cited that portray the Church as having many interconnected parts united in Christ. The Church is built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ as the cornerstone. It is continually being built up and prepared as the bride of Christ.
Salvation
The document provides an overview of the Orthodox view of salvation from several perspectives:
1) It examines what humanity needs salvation from, explaining that due to the fall of Adam and Eve, humanity became separated from God and subject to death.
2) It explores how humanity is saved, through the incarnation, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It discusses several aspects of Christ's work including his renewing the image of God in humanity, being the lamb of God who takes away sin, redeeming humanity, being the mediator between God and humanity, healing humanity of sin, and trampling upon death.
3) It briefly discusses how humanity can experience this salvation, through God's grace in response
Book4 unit3-a
This document provides an overview of lessons from a book about thinking about God. It discusses how the disciples came to understand Jesus as the Son of God through reflecting on scripture after his passion and death. It examines passages like John 12 and 1 Corinthians 15:3-5. It also explores how the disciples encountered Jesus in the breaking of bread and sharing scriptures. The lessons cover Israel's expectations for the Messiah based on prophecies, the life and teachings of Jesus according to the gospels and historical sources, and New Testament interpretations of Jesus as the Son of Man, Lord, Servant of Yahweh, and Son of God.
Book4 unit1-lesson5
This document discusses the relationship between science and theology. It argues that the two fields can co-exist and even complement each other. While science uses observation and experimentation to study the physical world, theology addresses non-physical topics like morality, values, and spirituality. Both fields are attempting to understand and explain the world from different perspectives. Examples are given of how scientific discoveries like evolution, cosmology, and physics can enhance theological understanding of concepts like creation and design. Famous scientists from history like Newton and Mendel integrated their scientific work with their religious faith.

It describes the Ark of the Covenant, tabernacle, temple, Jewish feasts and festivals, synagogue worship, and liturgical cycles in ancient Israel. Key elements included sacrificial worship, the Ark as representing God's presence, and annual feasts like Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles that were precursors to Christian holy days.
Foundations part03-baptism
This document summarizes the Orthodox Christian understanding of baptism based on a study of Hebrews 6:1-3. It outlines that baptism involves dying and rising with Christ through participation in his death and resurrection, resulting in forgiveness of sins, restoration of the image of God, adoption as God's children, and making one a member of the royal priesthood. While John baptized with water, Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit. Baptism is connected to other sacraments like chrismation and communion and is the sacrament of Christian initiation.
Book 03- Part 01
This document provides an overview of the lessons covered in a book about the Old Testament. It discusses the purpose and divisions of the Old Testament, including the Torah, Nebi'im, and Kethubim. It also summarizes some of the major events and time periods in Israelite history covered in the Old Testament, such as the Exodus, time of judges, united and divided monarchies, Babylonian captivity, and Persian period. Key figures from the historical books like Deborah, Abigail, and Esther are also briefly mentioned.
Foundations part01-repentance
The document outlines the proposed administration structure for the Young Adult Ministry of the Northeast American Diocese, including a director, secretary, treasurer, and parish representatives. It then discusses several faith formation objectives and series, including understanding repentance from dead works. Repentance is defined as a change of mind and return to God that involves remorse, resolution, and restoration, accepting responsibility for sins through humility and orienting oneself towards God. It is a permanent action that brings joy and is a gift requiring tears.
Unit4
The document discusses how experiencing God involves serving humanity through compassion and identifying with the poor, as Jesus did through his crucifixion; it emphasizes that true service comes from a desire to bring justice in the world and continue Christ's mission, and calls readers to empty themselves through voluntary poverty and acts of nonviolence to alleviate suffering.
Unit3
The document discusses the participation of believers in the Indian Orthodox Church across different historical periods and lessons. It outlines principles such as the church being God's people, the royal priesthood of all believers, and the pivotal role of holy communion. It then provides a high-level survey of the Malankara Church's history from the 16th century onwards, touching on key figures, reforms, and periods of independence, British influence, and relations with Antioch. It concludes with discussing full participation of believers in the 20th century church through elections, decision making in assemblies, and mutual consent between ministers and faithful.
Book 2 - Lessons 3-5
This document provides an overview of lessons 3-5 from a course on the people of God. Lesson 3 discusses Christ as the true priest and how we enter the royal priesthood through baptism and chrismation. It also examines the priestly, royal, and prophetic ministries. Lesson 4 reviews Jesus's roles as servant, deacon, apostle, shepherd, high priest, and how he commissioned the 12 apostles and 72 evangelists. Lesson 5 discusses the development of ministries in the apostolic church like bishops, presbyters, deacons, and how the early church was devoted to teaching, fellowship, worship, helping the poor, and resolving conflicts through councils.
Book 2 People of God
The document discusses the participation of believers in the Orthodox Church based on biblical principles. It covers topics like the priesthood of all believers through baptism, the roles of clergy and laity, the relationship between ministers and believers, and the roles of women in the church. The key points are that through baptism all believers share in Christ's priesthood, the church exists as a community with different roles, and women are integral participants in the life of the church.
Part02
St. John's Gospel was likely written between 90-100 AD in Ephesus. It has a very simple yet profound style that appeals to both new and mature Christians. The Gospel aims to show that Jesus is the Messiah and Son of God and that belief in him leads to eternal life. Some key themes are light versus darkness, belief, love, and witnessing. The Gospel contains 7 signs that point to Jesus' identity and is accompanied by long discourses. The Upper Room discourse focuses on Jesus comforting the disciples, promising the Holy Spirit, discussing their relationship to him as the vine, and including the High Priestly Prayer.
Part02 a unit3
This document discusses the key teachings about the Kingdom of God found in the Synoptic Gospels and other religious texts. It explains that the Kingdom of God was the central message of Jesus, referring to God's authority and rule. While the term was not used in the Old Testament, the idea of God's reign was present. The document analyzes how the concept developed in intertestamental Jewish thought and how Jesus brought the Kingdom near through his words and acts. It also explores how the Kingdom is related to concepts like the Church, Eucharist, and God's reign in contrast to earthly powers.

Specific lessons are also provided on the Synoptic Gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke, as well as the book of Acts. Key people, events, and teachings from each book are highlighted. The overall document serves as a guide to help readers understand the context and contents of the New Testament.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
