This document discusses and compares creationism and evolutionism. Creationism is the belief that God directly created the physical universe and life, as described in the Bible. The Bible teaches that God created mankind and the world in a specific sequence. Evolutionism believes the universe and life developed naturally over time through processes like natural selection and mutation. There are literal and nonliteral views of creation - literal views take the Bible accounts literally while nonliteral views propose alternatives like the earth being older than the Bible suggests or that God used evolution. The document concludes that both creationism and evolution are matters of faith, and that evolution lacks sufficient evidence to prove its claims while creationism is supported by evidence of God.

Seventh Day Adventism
Seventh Day Adventism: A power point on the history and teachings of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. See notes below. Taught by John Oakes in Jakarta 1/07/2010.
Revelation 5
Dispensational theology, developed by John Nelson Darby in the 19th century, holds that history is divided into different periods called dispensations, in which God relates to people differently under different biblical covenants. It believes that the Church is distinct from Israel, which God's promises to still apply to. The theory of a "parenthesis" suggests that the Church age was not foreseen by OT prophets and is an interruption in God's original plan for Israel before resuming after the tribulation and millennium. Adherents include many Baptists and those from Dallas Theological Seminary.
Gospel Unity - Paolo Ugolini
This document discusses the controversy in the early church over whether Gentiles needed to become Jewish before becoming Christian. It summarizes key events in Jewish history and demographics in the Roman Empire. It then outlines how the "Judaizing controversy" came to a head in Antioch and was resolved at the Jerusalem Council, establishing that Gentiles do not need to follow Jewish customs like circumcision to be Christian. Paul's letters argue this position from historical, prophetic and theological standpoints. The destruction of the Jerusalem temple in 70 AD further separated Judaism and Christianity.
Introduction to Apologetics - Lesson 5
This document provides an overview of the Bible, including its structure and origins. It notes that the Old Testament contains 39 books written in Hebrew and Aramaic covering various genres. The New Testament contains 27 books written in Greek also covering different genres such as gospels, acts, epistles, and revelation. It was authored by around 40 men over 1600 years. The document also discusses topics like the Septuagint translation, the role of Alexander the Great in spreading Hellenistic culture, the Apocrypha, determining biblical canonicity, various "lost" gospels, and the Council of Nicea.
Jesus was to reign a thousand years vol 2
This is a study of Jesus reigning a thousand years. This study gives us a different perspective on the thousand year reign so that we see Bible believers can see some texts of Scripture in radically different ways.
Christian Science and Scientology: A Power Point
Christian Science and Scientology both claim to be religions but are rejected by most mainstream faiths and scientists. Christian Science was founded by Mary Baker Eddy and teaches that disease is an illusion that can be cured through spiritual means alone. Scientology was created by science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard and is based on concepts like past lives, immortal spirits called Thetans, and using an e-meter device during auditing sessions to eliminate engrams from past traumatic experiences. Neither faith is grounded in science and both have faced criticism for discouraging medical treatment and being more akin to pseudoscience than religion.
Faith And Reason
The document discusses the relationship between faith and reason, and argues that Christianity has historically been compatible with science and reason. It addresses several common myths, including that Christianity suppressed scientific advancement during the Middle Ages. While some Christian individuals and groups have held anti-intellectual views, the Church itself has generally supported scientific inquiry. The document also examines factors that prevented the development of modern science in other cultures like China and Islam, and argues Christianity provided a foundation for its growth in the West.
Arguments for the Existence of God: A Power Point
This document discusses several arguments for the existence of God: the cosmological argument that everything must have a cause points to God, the teleological argument that design in the universe points to a designer (God), the moral argument that objective morality requires a moral authority (God), and the ontological argument that God must exist by definition. It also discusses the argument from the inspiration of the Bible, that if the Bible is supernaturally inspired it proves God's existence, citing fulfilled prophecies, consistency, historical accuracy, and scientific accuracy as evidence of the Bible's inspiration.
Class on World Religions in San Diego
Dr. John Oakes taught a six-week class on World Religions on six consecutive Saturdays beginning on 2/23 9:00-11:00. See below for suggested reading and schedule.
Roman Catholicism: A Power Point
The document discusses the history and doctrines of Roman Catholicism. It claims that unlike some Christian groups, Catholics can trace their origins to the original New Testament church. However, over time the Roman Catholic Church became increasingly corrupt and paganized after 325 AD. A key issue is that Catholicism bases authority on apostolic succession and tradition rather than solely on scripture. The document argues several Catholic doctrines like prayers to saints, transubstantiation, and sacramentalism have no biblical basis and instead nullify the word of God.
O brother presentation
The document analyzes Christianity in the film O Brother, Where Art Thou?. It discusses how the film portrays flawed characters finding redemption, acceptance of others through Jesus' message of universal salvation, and questions who is truly in charge - human nature or divine will.
Formation Of The Gospel
God wants to save all people, as shown through Jesus welcoming shepherds, women, tax collectors, and Samaritans and filling them with joy. Jesus' mission of salvation fulfills ancient Hebrew prophecies and makes salvation available to all through his ascension and release of the Holy Spirit upon the Church.
Holy Spirit in New Testament

Atonement_2a
This document discusses different theories of atonement throughout church history. It summarizes the ransom theory, which originated with Origen and was popular for the first 1000 years, but is flawed because it claims Jesus paid a ransom to the devil instead of addressing humanity's broken relationship with God. It also summarizes the recapitulation theory originated by Irenaeus, which views Jesus as the new Adam who reversed the disobedience of the first Adam through his perfect obedience. The document analyzes these theories and argues we must rely on scripture rather than outdated church traditions or views of early church fathers.
Jesus' good news freethinkers 02-19-09
The document provides an overview of the development of early Christianity and debates around Jesus' message, or "good news." It discusses how scholars have different views on defining the "good news" and outlines some of the major topics and figures in early Christian history, including Paul, the Church Fathers, heresies, and ecumenical councils. The development of orthodox Christian doctrines involved addressing Christology and the relationship between Jesus, God, and humanity.
2 sacred scriptures
The document discusses the origins and development of the Bible. It explains that the Bible was not written all at once, but was orally passed down through generations before being written and compiled. Over time, certain writings were collected, edited, and recognized as sacred scripture based on apostolic origin and consistency with church teachings. The canon of scripture was formed through a process of discernment, and includes 73 books for Catholics and 66 books for Protestants. The document outlines the key concepts of inspiration, inerrancy, and canonicity in determining the authoritative books of the Bible.

Christian Apologetics: Answering the Hard Questions: Notes and Power Point
Here are 3 key passages that show Jesus is fully God:
1. Jesus is called God. In Hebrews 1:8, God says to the Son, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever."
2. Jesus possesses the divine attributes. In John 1:1-3, Jesus is identified as the eternal Word who was with God in the beginning and through whom all things were created. This shows Jesus shares in God's divine nature and attributes.
3. Jesus claims full equality with God. In John 10:30, Jesus declares, "I and the Father are one." His Jewish opponents understood this as a claim to full deity, which is why they tried to stone Him for bl

Gnostics and heretics
In the years that followed Christ death, there was plenty of discord among the apostles, each wanting to claim supremacy over the other.
The losers were branded heretics and their writings destroyed. Fortunately, some were saved.
Class #12
The document discusses various procedures involving stem cells and cloning including cloning for reproduction, cloning for medical treatments, embryonic stem cell research using IVF leftovers or specifically created embryos, and research using stem cells from miscarried fetuses. It asks which procedure is most morally problematic and how the Church would view it, and to consider the Church's objections to embryonic stem cell research and cloning and whether scientific advances could address these objections which involve complicity with evil.
Unesco
Religion plays an important but often neglected role in international affairs and solutions. While it was once viewed as irrelevant by state leaders, religiously motivated groups like Al Qaeda have changed perceptions. However, analyzing conflicts only through a religious lens can oversimplify issues and ignore political and historical contexts. To be part of solutions, religious actors and contexts must be understood and included in discussions, as several global interfaith peace movements have shown. Local religious communities in particular can promote civility and development, though they are often overlooked by policymakers who focus only on high-level documents and statements. Religious influences must be properly understood and actors included to overcome simplistic views and harness religion's positive potential.

The document discusses envisioning a new kind of Christian faith through asking new questions rather than making statements. It presents 10 questions that are transforming the Christian faith, including questions about the biblical narrative, God's nature, Jesus, the gospel message, the church, sexuality, the future, and pluralism. The final question asks how this quest for a new understanding can be pursued with humility, love, and peace to avoid fighting and division. It suggests new questions can create conversations and launch new quests, rather than debates that result in a new static understanding.

Hebrews Chapter 9
This document discusses the conscience from a biblical perspective. It provides definitions of conscience and discusses what it is and is not. Some key points:
1. The conscience is the part of our psyche that induces guilt when we violate our moral values and pleasure when acting in line with our values.
2. The Bible teaches that conscience must be informed by God's word, as it can be evil, ignorant, or defiled if not properly guided.
3. A mature faith helps to strengthen the conscience by providing a strong foundation for discerning right from wrong.
4. When the conscience is wounded by sin, we must confess, seek forgiveness, and make amends in order to cleanse the conscience

Bri newsltr #41 1 13 () 0
This document discusses the importance of upholding the Bible as the ultimate authority for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It examines why tradition, reason, community, and other sources are insufficient as foundations of authority. While recognizing the roles of the Holy Spirit and Jesus, it argues that only Scripture can reliably guide the church, as Jesus and the Bible itself point to its divine inspiration and self-authenticating claims. Maintaining the authority of Scripture is vital for theology, leadership, prayer, evangelism, education and dealing with future challenges. Theologians, leaders and members must allow the Bible to determine their beliefs and actions as challenges arise.
Naibei final copy resach
This document is a research project submitted by Philip Chesoi Naibei to Bugema University's Department of Theology in partial fulfillment of a Bachelor of Theology degree. The project examines poverty as discussed in Deuteronomy 15:11 and its implications for contemporary Christians. It seeks to understand whether the Bible seems to favor the poor over the rich and whether poverty is a mark of God's favor. The study aims to contribute to ongoing debates around the church's conception of poverty today and how it influences believers. It focuses on the biblical teachings about poverty, its causes, effects, and relevance for modern understanding, though without providing an exhaustive theology of poverty.
L4 recap of predest and key thinkers
The document discusses religious determinism and evaluates the theories of key philosophers on free will and determinism. It explains that Calvin believed in predestination, where God predetermined who would be saved and damned, regardless of their moral actions on Earth. Critics argue this could reduce responsibility for one's actions and diminish the importance of living a moral life. The document aims to summarize the views of philosophers like Calvin on these concepts.
Contextual Theology
The document discusses the importance of contextualizing theology so that it is relevant to local cultures while remaining true to biblical teachings. It provides definitions of contextualization from scholars like Darrell Whiteman and Paul Hiebert. Models of contextualization are outlined, such as translation, anthropological, praxis, and synthetic. The document also presents guidelines for determining whether a local theology demonstrates sound contextualization or drifts into heterodoxy, such as whether it is coherent with revelation, leads to Christ-like behavior, and challenges cultural norms. Overall, the document argues that all theology is contextual and aims to provide a framework for developing theologies that faithfully engage with local contexts.
Creation and origin of evil
Creation is consciousness and intelligence of Creator [Jesus] unfolding and enfolding in time cycles. The universe is living thing which is very much in control. Destruction is part of its reconstruction process in time. The human soul its consciousness and intelligence is born from the universal consciousness and intelligence. We have fallen from Creator’s illuminating intelligence field and struggle in darkness because of our “self”. The world speaks of Green Energies, Super Computers and so on. But we are coming to a point where our primary importance becomes Our Survival on Planet Earth. Only Knowledge from the High can help.
Herlads of New Light - Pr. Roger W. Coon
This document provides background information on Dr. Roger W. Coon, the author of the book "Heralds of New Light: Another Prophet to the Remnant?". It discusses Coon's experience working for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It also summarizes the book, which addresses the question of whether God will send another prophet to the Seventh-day Adventist Church after Ellen G. White, and how to identify true and false prophets according to the Bible and E.G. White's writings. The document provides context about E.G. White and her role as a prophet in the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

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
