Try Jesus (SDA Bible Doctrines)
This document discusses the unity and reliability of the Bible. It notes that the Bible was written over 1600 years by 40 different authors yet presents a coherent message about God and his relationship with humanity. The Bible has transformed millions of lives through history by its message about Jesus Christ. The recurring theme of the Old Testament is the promised coming of the Messiah, which the New Testament shows was fulfilled through Jesus.
5th Sunday - Second Reading - 1 Corinthians 15:1–11
1. Paul reminds the Corinthians of the gospel he preached, which included that Christ died for sins according to scriptures and was raised on the third day, and that he appeared after his resurrection to many people including the apostles and Paul himself.
2. Paul provides three proofs of Jesus' resurrection: the scriptures foretold a suffering and resurrected savior, hundreds of people witnessed the risen Christ, and Paul himself encountered the risen Jesus and radically changed from a persecutor of Christians to a believer.
3. Without the resurrection, Christianity makes no sense and there would be no hope of salvation or eternal life. Paul's proofs were logical and could not be disproven.
NPGBC - Monthly Theme Commentary - October 2014
The document discusses the "Prison Epistles", which refers to four letters in the New Testament written by Paul during his house arrest in Rome between 60-62 AD. These letters are Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. Each letter was written to provide encouragement and instruction to Christian communities and individuals. The letters discuss topics like salvation by grace, thanking supporters, addressing heresies infiltrating churches, and requesting an escaped slave be treated as a brother rather than property. The overall message is that despite difficulties, God can empower people to change lives and do His work.

This two-volume work by Rabbi Tovia Singer explores why Judaism does not accept Jesus as the Messiah by examining passages from the Jewish scriptures. The Rabbi argues that the core doctrines of Christianity are incompatible with the principles expressed by the prophets of Israel. Additionally, the book demonstrates how Christian translators manipulated and altered passages in the Hebrew scriptures to support the idea that Jesus is the promised Messiah. The work aims to thoroughly answer why Judaism rejects Christianity's claims by closely analyzing the original texts.
The higher self
The passage discusses the concept of the "Higher Self" and how awareness is the source of both body and mind. It states that we are inherently divine beings of awareness, not separate from our human forms.
It then shifts to discussing the current state of the church, noting that the devil has worked hard to pull the church away from God's word. Many Christian nations now need re-evangelization, and places where Jesus was once lord, like parts of Africa, have become dominated by other religious sects. Well-known figures from church history like the Apostle Paul and John Knox would be disappointed and overwhelmed to see the current state of affairs.
The spiritual decline is also seen in America and Europe
Spiritual Imposters
Paul writes to the Corinthians expressing concern that they have been led astray by false teachers preaching a different gospel. He contrasts himself with these "imposters" and "big-shot apostles", noting that while he may not have their eloquence, he knows what he is talking about. Paul suffered greatly for the gospel and warns the Corinthians that their faith is at risk if they accept these other messages that distort Jesus' true teachings.
"I HAVE WON THE VICTORY"
The document discusses how Jesus won the victory over sin and death through his resurrection. It says that on Easter morning, the silence of the tomb was shattered as Jesus rose from the dead, defeating sin, guilt, and death. It goes on to say that through Christ, God always leads us to victory.
The Works of Jesus, Part 3
This document discusses how Jesus brings new beginnings to people. It describes 5 conflicts Jesus had with worn-out religion: 1) healing a paralytic, 2) calling Matthew the tax collector, 3) a dispute over fasting, 4) arguments over worship, and 5) healing on the Sabbath. Each conflict shows how Jesus welcomed outsiders and brought joy, forgiveness and healing, in contrast to the rigid rules and judgment of the religious establishment. The document urges people to abandon worn-out religion and join Jesus' movement instead.

Liberalism a spiritual disorder
Liberalism is described as a spiritual disorder that is irreverent toward God, presumptuous toward his authority, and indifferent toward his word. It is defined as not being bound by traditional ways or beliefs, including the Bible traditions and patterns that God has established. Liberalism is seen as being at work when God's people refuse to hear or follow his law, and reject appeals to stay on the path established by God. It brings judgment and is considered a form of rebellion.
Who is jesus

The rest consists of multiple choice and open-ended questions about Jesus' life, including his name, parents, birthplace, teachings, emotions, uniqueness among religious leaders, and relationship to the Gospels.
Prophecy
The document discusses various views about the end times, prophecies, and the return of Christ. It cautions against those who claim to know exact details of prophecies and set dates, as the biblical standard for prophets is to be 100% correct. It notes many past failed predictions and commercial motives of some prophets. While some signs could point to the last days unfolding, the document advocates focusing on Jesus' own words about his return and comparing world events to biblical prophecies, rather than interpretations of cryptic symbols.

Brock_writingsample
Paul addresses issues that have caused division in the church in Rome regarding differing practices related to eating. Some only ate vegetables while others ate all foods. Paul argues that both groups should accept one another without judgment. Each believer lives by the measure of faith given by God and will answer to God alone, not other believers. The goal is unity in Christ, achieved through mutual acceptance rather than condemnation over disputable matters.

File 2
Jesus Christ has had immense influence over the past two thousand years. He was rejected by many Jews when he first arrived as the long-awaited Messiah. Although his followers were initially fearful after his crucifixion, his resurrection empowered them to spread his message and transform lives.

Today, Christianity is the largest religion globally but faces increasing persecution and censorship of references to Jesus, demonstrating his continued relevance and power.

There is no scriptural evidence that indicates that Paul was dead. The Bible does not say that Paul was dead-it conveys that he was left for dead. In addition, it does indicate that any of the apostles that stood around Paul prayed or- laid hands on Paul for him to be resurrected from the dead. The scripture states” as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and he departed with Barnabas to Derbe” (Acts 14:19, 20 King James Version). Luke does not explicitly say that Paul was dead. The mob apparently jumped to conclusions once Paul felled under the hail of stones. According to Luke the people drew him out of the city supposing he had been dead. Furthermore, biblical history gives light to the fact that when someone was raised from the dead the following actions were taken, words were spoken, bodies were engaged or hands were laid on the decease-with the exception of Jesus. Case in point- according to scriptures there was a young man who felled out of the window broke his neck and died. The Apostle Paul went down and felled on him and embraced him and the young man’s life re-enter his body (Acts 20:9, 10).
2 Corinthians 12 does not validate that Paul had died in Acts 19, went to heaven and had an encounter with Jesus. It merely gives attention to the fact that Paul had a vision of paradise and was not sure at the time of the vision if he was
in or out of his body at the time.
2. Fresh on the heels of the Jerusalem Council, Paul insists on circumcising Timothy. Why would he consider this necessary? Was Paul being hypocritical, since the Council had just determined Gentiles need not be circumcised for salvation?
“ Luke’s note that Timothy’s mother was Jewish and his father Greek is essential to understanding why Paul had asked Timothy to be circumcised, since he objected so strenuously to that rite in Galatians. According to later rabbinic law, a child born of a Jewish mother and a Greek father was considered to be Jewish. Therefore, Timothy would have been considered a Jew. Paul always worked through the Jewish synagogues when possible. To have had a member of his entourage be of Jewish lineage and yet uncircumcised would have hampered his effectiveness among the Jews”.[1] Based on the provided information Paul was not being hypocritical.
Hot102
The account of Paul’s stoning in Acts 14:19-20 often raises the question whether or not the apostle died. Looking at the passage itself would see there are several reasons for one to believe he did in fact die. The first would be the word “stoned” itself. Early in Luke’s account he uses the same term to describe the Stephan’s death. (Acts 7:59) Another would be that the people “…dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.” (Acts 14:19 ESV) It would seem that by an initial glance, Paul did die.
However, some people claim this verse does not mean Paul died. John Polhill notes. “Luke’s reference to their ‘thinkin ...

(Acts 7:59) Another would be that the people “…dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.” (Acts 14:19 ESV) It would seem that by an initial glance, Paul did die.
However, some people claim this verse does not mean Paul died. John Polhill notes. “Luke’s reference to their ‘thinkin ...
14 Idolatry - Then and Now 1 Corinthians 10:1-33
This document provides a summary of Paul's letter to the Corinthians regarding eating food sacrificed to idols. Paul warns the Corinthians not to be overconfident in their spiritual knowledge and immunity to temptation. He cites examples from Israel's history where God judged the Israelites for idolatry and other sins despite delivering them from Egypt. Paul argues that eating food sacrificed to idols puts one in fellowship with demons and jeopardizes one's spiritual safety. He urges the Corinthians to consider how their actions might affect other believers and to do all things for God's glory.

1 Corinthians Exegesis Paper.Pdf
1) The document provides historical context about the city of Corinth in the 1st century CE, noting its diversity and pluralism as well as sexual libertinism. It then discusses Paul's mission to Corinth to establish a new Christian order.
2) The main section analyzes 1 Corinthians 11:23-31, focusing on how the Corinthian church was dividing into social classes and excluding the poor from full participation in the Eucharist.
3) Through a close reading of the biblical passage, the document argues that Paul wanted the Corinthians to understand the Eucharist as a communal celebration commemorating Christ's sacrifice, not as an individualistic or exclusive practice that undermined the church's purpose of unity.

Book review church planting
The document provides a biography of Roland Allen and a summary of his book "Missionary Methods: St. Paul's or Ours?". Allen examines the missionary methods of the Apostle Paul compared to the predominant methods used by missionaries in Allen's time. Some key points Allen makes about Paul's approach include: focusing evangelism in urban areas, not relying on financial support or administering church funds, preaching with an expectation that listeners will respond to the Holy Spirit, and quickly establishing local leadership rather than maintaining long-term foreign control. The summary concludes that while not agreeing with all of Allen's conclusions, his work provides insightful criticism of how historical missionary practices have not adequately emulated Paul's example of trusting national believers and

Women In The Ministry Summary
This document discusses arguments for and against women serving in ministry roles in the church. It examines several Bible passages often used against women in ministry, such as 1 Timothy 2:11-15 and 1 Corinthians 14:34. It argues that these passages should be understood in their historical context and do not represent a universal command, given evidence that Jesus commissioned women and the teachings of Paul's mentor Gamaliel. The document makes the case that restrictions on women were based on Jewish cultural practices rather than commands from God, and that Christians have been redeemed from such cultural restrictions through Christ.

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.

Pauline Evangelism Session 7: Paul and the Historical Jesus
This is the seventh session's Power Point slide show from the 'Using Pauline Studies for Evangelism' course taught at the Light Project, Chester.
Paul
1) Critical events in Paul's life such as his vision of the risen Christ, his brush with death in Ephesus, and encounters with false apostles and Jewish Christians over the law, influenced the development of his theology.
2) Paul drew on both his Jewish and Hellenistic backgrounds, using the Septuagint and Greek terms while defending Jewish doctrines like resurrection.
3) His revelation of Jesus radically changed Paul from a persecutor of Christians to an apostle, calling him to preach Christ to Gentiles and defend his authority despite a later conversion.
