Camps Paper Camps Paper The way Christians perceive Non-Christians is categorized into four different camps. A camp is a group of people that aggressively support a doctrine or creed and their point of views are strongly asserted and defended by those who adhere to them. The first Christian camp is called The Conservative Evangelical, is known as the Total Replacement Model. This camp is not open to other religions and believes their way is the only way. The second is the Mainline Protestant Model or also called The Partial Replacement Model. They believe that salvation can only happen through Christ. The Catholic Model is the third camp meaning there are many ways but only one normative way to get to God. Last but not least, the fourth camp is known as The Theocentric or Pluralist Model, being known for being the most accepting. After a lot of thought and consideration about all the camps, I would put myself in the fourth camp called “The Theocentric Model: Many Ways to the Center “because I believe that camp would fit me and my personality well. I am not a narrow-minded person, I like to think outside the box, and I do not judge people just because they happen to think differently than I do. I feel comfortable placing myself in the fourth camp because I believe that God listens to everyone and would not turn anyone away because they do not believe there is any one right way. I truly believe I am going to get to god in my own way, on my own path, and in my own time. I do not want to follow in anyone’s footsteps when it comes to getting to heaven. This is why I think the camp is considered to have many ways to the center would be the one for me, the one I would be proud to say I was a part of. The Theocentric Model is considered the acceptance model because it is aware of the importance of being different. It takes into consideration that religions share common ethical ideals, and no one religion is

    Despite the patriot’s strong moral hopes, they were not seen as victors. They took battle loss after loss and yet kept pushing. Right as their will was dying, their fate would turn for the better. Fort Ticonderoga was the first Continental army victory in the revolutionary war (The Capture of Fort Ticonderoga). Although this specific spot actually has more history with multiple other wars, it proved to be the place where the American Revolution would come into the hands of the patriots. This win on the battlefield gave them the strength and perseverance needed to continue into future battles.…

    By 1978 the thirty-year war that had been fought between Egypt and Israel had come to a point where there was a chance for peace. The area that had been at the center of the turmoil was the West Bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip. The problem was that both countries believed that they had the rights to this land: Israel, biblically and Egypt, politically. So an invitation by President Jimmy Carter to President Anwar Sadat of Egypt and Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel was extended. The invitation was for a meeting in the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland at the presidential retreat, Camp David. The meeting was so that the framework of a peace agreement, known as the Camp David Accord, could be laid out between Sadat and Begin, with Carter as the mediator. Both Sadat and Begin had their reputations and their countries' futures on the line, not to mention the future of the Middle East. All of the countries…

    In today’s society we have many different religions that argue constantly over the view of salvation and how one receives eternal life. Many even believe that there is only one way to heaven or that Christianity is the only way. Many beliefs are obvious, and many believe that all paths of religion lead to heaven, and never would a loving God send anyone to hell. In his book, “Is Jesus the only Savior,” Ronald H. Nash makes a great argument about the inclusivists. Inclusivism is the view that people can actually receive God's gift of salvation based on Jesus Christ's atoning work, however, the sinner need not believe the gospel in order to actually receive this salvation. Inclusivism agree that God’s mercy is so complete that it can and does embrace many. This is in contrast to exclusivism, which believes, that a sinner can only be saved by a conscious understanding and faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Nash discussed in detail in chapters 1-6 his argument against pluralism. Nash now begins chapter seven with an introduction of the inclusivists stand point. He quotes many inclusivists, giving them the benefit of the doubt. However, he yet proves all their theories wrong. Nash makes every attempt of the inclusivist use of scripture look weak and unsupported. He sees their position as middle ground between exclusivism and pluralism where God’s salvation is completely available by all grounded on the…

    Jesus Camp

    Jesus Camp is a documentary film about Christian families and their journey through life with their Evangelical Christian beliefs. The main portion of the film is about children within the Evangelical faith and their time spent at a summer bible camp. An evangelical Christian is a person who is called to share the good news, to preach God's Word, and to set an example of purity and honesty. Even if these movements require political action. They seem to be very strict in their beliefs. If God would not approve of what they are doing then they should not be doing it. Harry Potter, for example, is spoken of in Jesus Camp. Becky Fisher, one of the children’s camp counselor’s, calls Harry Potter a warlock. She announces to the children that “warlocks are enemies of God and you do not make heroes out or warlocks.” Their world view is good versus evil; God is good and Harry Potter is evil. This group of people works to make sure they do not abandon the most important calling which is sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with others.…

    Symbols In Jesus Camp

    Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady’s documentary “Jesus Camp” is an eye-opening display of the intense power which can be directly associated with the belief of a deity, or some form of higher power. Following Pentecostal children’s pastor Becky Fischer and her unsettling children’s camp “Kids on Fire”, viewers are shown a series of clips demonstrating their deep-seated religious conviction. Among the various dialogue and imagery portrayed throughout Jesus Camp, the direct correlation between such a film and the demonic theory becomes increasingly apparent. Not only is power equated with the church, those who falter in their beliefs are looked down upon. Furthermore, speaking frequently of the temptation of sin, the acceptance of Jesus, and the ultimate…

    That also worked well in 1939 when we sent ships full of Jewish refugees, including Anne Frank, back to Germany to their deaths. Timothy McVeigh killed more people in Oklahoma than were killed in Paris. Did we put all white male gun nuts in internment camps? All of the French attackers were European Nationals, not Syrian refugees. France knows this, that's why they're taking in 30,000 Syrian refugees. I think I've got it. Christian good - non-Christian bad, white skin good - brown skin bad. Hang in there Mexicans, we'll get back to…
