The document discusses the progression of insight that the man born blind had about Jesus' identity after he was healed. It notes that initially he called Jesus "a man" then "a prophet" and finally recognized Him as "from God." Similarly, the document suggests that as believers we should have a growing understanding of who Christ is and a greater desire to worship and serve Him over time. Any lack of spiritual growth or worship could indicate that true salvation has not occurred.

The document outlines some of the key powers and characteristics Christians attribute to God.
Apostle screed
The document provides an overview of the Apostles' Creed, a statement of core Christian beliefs that dates back to the first century AD. It explains that the Creed summarizes divinely revealed truths according to Catholicism and can be divided into 12 articles that affirm beliefs about God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Church, forgiveness of sins, resurrection of the body, and everlasting life. The Creed is one of the four pillars of Catholic faith alongside the Ten Commandments, seven sacraments, and Our Father prayer.

The history of theology
One of the first PowerPoints that I made when teaching theology. It is crazy. It has animations, links to further slides, and terrible graphics. But it is fun share and does give an accurate view of the history of Christianity. (Although the animations and links don't work in this slideshare.)
Chapter 67
This document summarizes Norman Geisler's views on the salvation of infants and the unevangelized from his systematic theology. It discusses multiple historical positions on the salvation of infants who die, including the view that only baptized infants are saved, the view that only God's elect infants are saved, and the view that God saves infants who would have believed if they lived. It also examines views on whether those without access to the gospel can be saved through general revelation in nature or if salvation only comes through hearing and believing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
02 Upon This Rock - God
This document discusses Baptist doctrine on the nature of God. It covers that there is only one true God, not multiple gods, and that each person of the Godhead - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - has a distinct role or function, but all three persons are equally divine. The document provides evidence for the trinity from the fact that God is referred to as the Father, and that the attributes of God, like omnipotence, apply to each member of the trinity.

It acknowledges doctrine may occasionally be wrong but is unlikely to be so, and outlines reasonable and unreasonable responses when doctrines are challenged.

The document discusses the Christian doctrine of salvation, outlining it as a three-fold process of justification, sanctification, and glorification. It defines justification as God declaring believers righteous based on Christ's righteousness, occurring as a one-time event upon believing. Sanctification is the ongoing process of being saved as believers are transformed by God. Glorification will be when believers are fully saved upon entering heaven.

Chapter 65
This document summarizes Norman Geisler's evaluation of the theological position of universalism. Geisler argues that universalism is contrary to the biblical teachings on the freedom of human will, the nature of God's love as voluntary rather than forced, God's requirement to punish sin with justice, and Jesus' teachings about the eternal nature of hell. The document also notes areas of agreement between Geisler's position and Wesleyan theology on these issues.
Chapter 71
The document discusses the origins and nature of the church according to the Bible. It examines the Greek word "ekklesia" used in the New Testament to refer to the church. While ekklesia usually refers to local churches, some texts refer to a universal church composed of all believers. The document also explores different metaphors used in the Bible to describe attributes of the church, such as the body of Christ. It considers perspectives on whether the church began during Jesus' time or after his resurrection and ascension.

It suggests pagans who sought God and believed in him to their level of knowledge could potentially be saved through Christ as the preincarnate Logos.

Buddhism, christianity and islam
This document provides a high-level comparison of Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. It outlines some key differences and similarities such as: when each religion started, their core beliefs about God and prophets, religious symbols, places of worship, founding figures like Jesus, Muhammad and Buddha, major scriptures, and practices like prayers and dietary restrictions. The document also lists the major branches within each religion and their numbers of worldwide followers.
Intro to Process Theology - Prayer
This document provides an introduction to process theology. It discusses key concepts like God's power being persuasive love-power rather than omnipotent power, and the world and God having a shared and interdependent power. It also covers topics like the nature of prayer as changing both the individual and God, and opening ourselves to God's creative energy. Prayer is a partnership between the individual and God rather than a way to manipulate God. Process theology sees the universe as creative, interconnected, and open to future change with God as a relational presence in all of existence.
Comparing 3 Major Religions
The document compares and contrasts the three major religions of Islam, Buddhism, and Christianity. It outlines some of the key beliefs and doctrines of each religion such as their views on God or gods, sacred texts, founders, and practices like fasting or pilgrimages. It also notes some similarities between the religions, such as a belief in life after death, moral codes, and the influence of major religious figures like Jesus, Muhammad, and Buddha.
Angelology 1 (Introduction on Angels)
This document provides an overview of angelology, the study of angels. It discusses that angels are mentioned in the Bible, including Michael, Gabriel and Satan. It addresses common questions about angels such as when they were created, if they have bodies, and the different types of angels. The document cautions that while angels exist, they are not to be worshipped as that would violate the first commandment to worship God alone.
First peter 1 14 16 holiness
This document discusses the importance of holiness from a biblical perspective. It provides several definitions of holiness, including: 1) having one's mind aligned with God according to Scripture; 2) striving to avoid sin and obey commands; 3) imitating Jesus Christ. It notes that holiness involves outward conduct, inward motivation, and obedience to God's word. The document laments the decline in holiness preaching and living, and attributes this to issues like undermining biblical authority, lack of role models, and a self-centered theology that focuses on what God can give rather than what He wants us to become.

Some key points are: (1) The Bible's authority comes from God's inspiration and revelation through it. (2) Interpreting the Bible requires understanding it as a coherent narrative involving both Old and New Testaments. (3) There are multiple senses and meanings to scripture given by God and reading requires participation in the church community.

God
This document is a chapter from a book that discusses the nature of God in Christianity. It aims to present what the author found in their research of the Bible on this topic. The chapter asks several questions at the beginning to introduce the topics it will cover, such as whether God is one or three, if Jesus is equal to God, and if Jesus is the son of God. It then provides various verses from the Bible to analyze these questions. For example, it examines verses where Jesus distinguishes himself from God, says God is greater than him, and that he was sent by God. The chapter aims to use logic and reasoning to understand what the Bible actually says about if Jesus is God based on these verses. It concludes by
Week 11 -- Pluralism - Part 2
The document discusses challenges that Christians may face in witnessing their faith in today's world, which includes relativism, pluralism, and other religions. It addresses objections such as the idea that sincerity is most important, not specific beliefs. The document argues that religions have mutually exclusive truth claims that cannot all be true at the same time. It also argues that salvation comes exclusively from faith in Jesus Christ as described in the New Testament, and that all people need to hear the gospel message.

Introduction to the Trinity_Part 2
The document discusses the importance of studying the doctrine of the Trinity. It provides several reasons why the Trinity is central to Christianity, notably that it is necessary for the atoning work of Christ. Removing the Trinity would cause the Christian faith to disintegrate. The document also explores scriptural support for the Trinity and how each person of the Godhead was involved in salvation through Jesus's life, death and resurrection.
Bible Study: Worship #1
The document discusses the Lutheran understanding of worship as being centered on God's action toward humanity rather than humanity's action toward God. It notes that worship, according to Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions, is defined as faith - believing the Gospel and receiving forgiveness of sins and eternal life from God by His grace. The common definition of worship as honoring or revering God through human acts is considered misguided, as the Lutheran view is that worship originates from God and has Him as the giver and humanity as the receivers of His gifts.
Christianity Explored Training
The document describes Christianity Explored, a 7-week course that explores the life of Jesus and what it means to follow him by looking at the Gospel of Mark. The course gives people time and space to think about life's big questions and investigate the basics of the Christian faith. It is offered at a church in Berlin twice a year, both at the church and off-site locations, and over 75% of the church's average worship attendance participates.
ST 104 Personal Doctrinal Statement
The document provides a personal statement on soteriology, or the doctrine of salvation. It discusses key beliefs about salvation including: (1) Salvation is initiated by God and accomplished through the Trinity; (2) Humans are utterly depraved and unable to choose God without divine intervention; (3) Salvation is received solely by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. At regeneration, believers are born again as new creations, justified, and reconciled to God. Water baptism is not necessary for salvation. Eternal salvation will be fully realized when believers experience glorified bodies in God's presence for eternity.

13th february 2016 Who is God
God exists as a loving Person who created humanity, desires a close relationship, and sent Jesus to redeem us. The Bible teaches that God is eternal and exists as the Trinity - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each person exhibits attributes like will and personality. God is also holy, just, merciful, and forgiving. He invites relationship and wants us to know Him intimately through faith in Jesus, who paid for our sins through His death and resurrection.
Cyf morning devotion
This document provides a morning devotion guide for a summer camp. It discusses three key points:
1. Man is sinful and separated from God, so he cannot know God's love or plan without salvation through Jesus Christ.
2. Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin. Through faith in Him, one can be saved and know God's love and plan.
3. To have assurance of salvation, one must receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord by faith, not based on good works. Eternal life comes through faith in Christ alone.
Sbs Class March21 2010
The document discusses the biblical doctrine of regeneration. It defines regeneration as a creative act of God where he imparts new spiritual life. Regeneration is described as a new creation, a new man, and a new heart. God takes out the heart of stone and replaces it with a heart of flesh through regeneration. It is an inward work of God that changes a person at the core of their being.
7 faith cfc
Faith is knowing Jesus Christ as our Lord through God's revelation, and responding with commitment, obedience, and trusting love from the heart. Faith is both a deeply personal relationship with God and something lived out in community with the Church. It involves both believing truths about God and living according to God's teachings through acts of justice, love, and care for creation. Faith helps us grow into mature people and find deep joy in relationship with the Lord.
En what is his nature
This document is a chapter from a book that discusses the nature of God in Christianity. It aims to present what the Bible says about whether God is one or three, and whether Jesus is God or a separate entity. The chapter examines several Bible passages and raises questions about whether they portray Jesus as distinct from God or as part of a Trinity. It argues that Jesus distinguished himself from God and was led, tempted, and commanded by God and the Spirit, which suggests he cannot be God.
God in Christianity... What is His Nature?
The document discusses several key questions about the nature of God in Christianity:
1. It examines whether God is one or three, looking at verses that indicate God is one.
2. It analyzes whether Jesus is God or part of God, finding verses where Jesus distinguishes himself from God and says God is greater.
3. It considers whether the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are equal, noting Jesus' own words that the Father is greater than him.
4. It concludes that based on the Bible, Jesus is not equal to or the same as God, but rather is a human prophet and messenger of God.
God in christianity what is his nature
BOOK DESCRIPTION--
Please read the following
text carefully, critically, and
without any preconceptions!
Jesus said, “Seek the truth,
and the truth will set you free.”
As a seeker of the truth and a
student of life, and after many years of
observation, research and comparative
study, it appears to me that people often
base their beliefs and judgments on weak,
sandy foundations, rather than on the solid
foundation of rock that Jesus
recommended.
Concerning the topic at hand, I have
noticed some major differences between
what is commonly and officially
understood about God in Christianity, and
what the Bible itself states!
In this booklet, I would like to share
with you -out of love and concern- what I
have noticed and learned throughmy
continuous journey of research, analysis,
and study.
The intent of this work is to
honestly and sincerely present the truth
that I found, not to hurt the feelings of
anyone.
Now let us turn to discuss some
issues and questions concerning the nature
of God in Christianity, namely the Trinity
and divinity of Jesus.

BOOK CONTENTS--
1. What is the nature of God in Christianity?
2. Is God one or three (Trinity)?
3. Is Jesus equal with God?
4. Is Jesus God or part of God?
5. Is Jesus a son of man or son of God?
6. So, who is Jesus really?
7. What is your opinion?
Nature of Jesus
The document discusses the nature of God in Christianity by analyzing what the Bible says about key topics like the Trinity, divinity of Jesus, and equality between God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It presents evidence from biblical passages that God is one, not three, Jesus is not equal to God and referred to himself as lesser, and there were other "sons of God" mentioned besides Jesus. This leads to the question of who Jesus really was - the document suggests he was a man approved by God based on biblical references to him as the "son of man."
what_is_His_nature
The document discusses the nature of God in Christianity, specifically addressing questions about whether God is one or three (the Trinity) and whether Jesus is God or part of God. It presents passages from the Bible that seem to distinguish Jesus from God, such as Jesus saying "There is none good but one, that is, God" and referring to God as "the only true God." The document aims to analyze these passages critically and determine what conclusions can be drawn about whether Jesus is described as God or as separate from God in the Bible.
Your walk with_christ 38
This Christian tract discusses the importance of having a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ, not just doing good deeds, in order to be saved. It emphasizes that we must lose ourselves in Christ by yielding to Him completely and being filled with His wisdom and nature rather than relying on our own flesh, mind, or reasoning. Only through abiding in Christ and having our faith rooted in God's power, not human wisdom, can we walk as He did with compassion and share the gospel message. We are called to be faithful stewards of what God has given us.

Walk on water
Jesus performs a miracle feeding thousands of people. The people want to make Jesus their king, but he withdraws from them. That night, the disciples are in a boat on the lake during a storm when they see Jesus walking on water towards them. They are afraid but Jesus tells them not to be afraid and gets in the boat, calming the storm. Peter asks Jesus to call him to walk on water too. Peter begins to walk on water but sinks when he doubts, and Jesus saves him.
The very words of the true s hepherd
This document discusses Jesus as the true shepherd and contrasts him with thieves and robbers who try to enter the sheepfold unlawfully. It then summarizes different religions like Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and examines how they try to attain salvation through means other than Jesus, making their followers thieves and robbers. The key teachings of Jesus as the door and shepherd who knows his sheep are highlighted. In conclusion, believers are called to be committed to worshipping Jesus alone as their shepherd and not follow any false prophets or religions.
The miracle
Jesus performs a miracle by feeding over 5,000 people with just five loaves of bread and two fish. Though the disciples are unsure how to feed such a large crowd, Jesus has the people sit down and distributes the bread and fish until all are full, with twelve baskets of leftovers. The people recognize Jesus as a prophet but he withdraws, walking on water to meet his disciples when they are struggling against the wind on the sea.
Sep christ our everything
Christ is our everything because He is the source of all things, having created all people from one man and giving them life and breath. He also determined the exact times and boundaries of where people would live so that they would seek Him and find Him, though He is not far from each person. Furthermore, He is the reason for people's existence, as we live and move and have our being in Him.
John 15
Jesus tells his disciples that if the world hates them, it is because it first hated him. He explains that as his followers they do not belong to the world, which is why the world hates them, just as it hated him. Jesus warns that his followers should expect to face persecution from the world, just as he did, because the world does not acknowledge God who sent Jesus.
Jether's sermon
Jesus teaches a crowd from Simon's boat on the Lake of Gennesaret. When he finishes, he tells Simon to let down his fishing nets despite having caught nothing all night. Simon obeys and they catch so many fish the nets begin to break. Simon falls at Jesus's knees, recognizing his own sinfulness. Jesus tells Simon he will now catch men. Simon and his partners leave everything to follow Jesus. The passage illustrates three important characteristics of being a follower of Christ: obedience, humility, and a willingness to sacrifice one's livelihood and family.
Happy father’s day!
This document discusses the important legacy that fathers in the Bible provided to their children. It profiles several fathers in the Old Testament (OT), such as Adam, Noah, and Abraham, noting their characteristics of being made in God's image, being righteous, and having faith in God. It also profiles fathers in the New Testament (NT), like Zechariah and Joseph, who were described as upright and righteous. The document argues that the greatest legacy a father can give is the Spirit of God, as these biblical fathers were used by God and their faithfulness allowed the lineage of Christ.
God's word
This document discusses different methods for engaging with scripture: hearing God's word from teachers provides insight and stimulates appetite for study; reading the Bible gives an overall picture; studying allows for personal discoveries; memorizing equips one to use scripture and help others; and meditation uses scripture for transformation as we think on its meaning and application. The overall goal is for one to be equipped for every good work.
Friendship2
The document discusses the characteristics of true friendship through examples from the Bible. It provides several examples of Jesus forgiving people and being friends with them, despite their sins. True friends will forgive mistakes, can relate to each other, introduce people to Christ through their lives, extend help to those in need, and will never abandon each other. Friends can depend on each other and should forgive each other seventy-seven times.
Freedom.pptx
Christ has set us free for freedom. We should stand firm in our freedom and not allow ourselves to be burdened by slavery again. The passage encourages maintaining freedom that Christ has provided and not becoming enslaved once more.
Foundation
1. Jesus talks about signs that will precede His return, including false prophets, wars, natural disasters, and persecution of Christians.
2. He warns believers to not be deceived and to remain faithful until the end.
3. The gospel will be preached throughout the world before the end comes. After great tribulation, Jesus will return visibly in the sky.
Chosen to make a difference
This document compares Joseph and Samuel and discusses why God chooses people. It notes that Joseph and Samuel both came from barren mothers and went on to become important prophets and leaders for Israel. God chooses people who are weak by the world's standards, like those from barren wombs, so that he can be glorified through their lives. The document argues that God chooses believers to bear his name, stand for what is right, and proclaim his excellencies, so that they can make a difference in the world.
Attitude
Silas and Paul were imprisoned but had the right attitude by praising God and praying instead of despairing over their situation. Their positive attitude led them to share the good news with other prisoners and resulted in the jailer becoming saved. Their actions demonstrated that having the right attitude, through praise and prayer in difficult times, can influence others and lead to sharing the gospel.
We love vegetables
The King of Babylon was looking for servants from royal families who were handsome, intelligent, and quick to understand. Four young men were selected and brought to the palace to study Babylonian language and literature for three years. They were given daily food from the king's table, including vegetables. Because they ate vegetables, the young men remained healthier and stronger than others and impressed their guard. God gave them wisdom and understanding because of their healthy diet. After three years of study, all four young men greatly outperformed magicians and enchanters in assessments given by the king.

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

The sight of the blind man
- 2. He wasn’t healed spiritually until verse 38. Christ showed us how to witness people a. A man must see before he can trust. b. He must realize and admit his lost condition before he will believe. c. He must see the grace of God in the cross before he will come to Christ.
- 3. Have you noticed the progression of the man’s insight in verse 11-34? He was asked “Who healed you?” the Pharisees said. And he was asked not just once but three times. What was his answer? Let Us consider the responses of this man who was born blind and was healed by the Lord.
- 4. 1. “A man called Jesus” (vs.11) 2. “A prophet” (vs.17) 3. “Of GOD” (vs. 30-33)
- 5. At first when we were not followers of Christ, we received God’s Word And then, as the Holy Spirit and the Word of God work in us… … we saw our need of Him and we conquered by His grace.
- 6. He gradually realized who Jesus is. Finally he confessed Him to be “Lord” and believed (vs.38) And he did the natural thing – worshipped his new Lord and Savior.
- 8. Are we still blind or we just chose to be blind and ignore our need of Jesus? Is there any progression in our spiritual eyesight? If we claim to be saved but not have any desire to worship God and to serve Him, then something is terribly wrong.
