King James As One Having Authority
Talmage, James. "As One Having Authority." In Jesus the Christ: A Study of the Messiah and His Mission According to Holy Scriptures Both Ancient and Modern, 50,51. 2nd ed. New York Coty: Deseret News, 1915.
Many times called Jesus of Nazareth as Christians they look to Christ as their perfect example, because he was tested in his human nature, and yet he never sinned. This sums up the life of Christ according to Acts 10:38 King James version “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him”. An example of this bible verse is seen when Jesus of Nazareth healed the centurion’s servant. When Jesus came to Capernaum someone

They weren’t there when Jesus of Nazareth walked the earth so they use this book as a base for everything they do. Kind of like a guideline Wayne Grudem says in In Christian Beliefs: Twenty Basics Every Christian Should Know book that the bible has authority. That Gods words are in the bible, and if a Christian doesn’t obey the bible that that person doesn’t obey God. Wayne talks about how followers of Christ (Christians) should understand the bible. Grudem was talking about how God uses the bible to speak to his followers. The bible has many books. It’s broken down into the New and the Old Testament. There are 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament, making that a total of 66 books of the bible. A lot of the books in the bible were written by followers of Christ. They wrote of their experience with Christ and the works that he performed. Many times the bible repeats stories in the bible, but they have it in another perspective of one of his disciples. They believe that as their faith grows that they should be able to understand the bible …show more content…
The edict of Milan was made on February 313 AD. It was an agreement to make people treat Christians better in the Roman Empire. This agreement was created one year later of Constantine’s vision. Licinius was an important figure where this agreement was concerned, but he contradicted himself when he tried to take the empire from Constatine.an act that displayed his motives was when he didn’t stop killing Christians in the eastern part of the empire. Even with this agreement in place it didn’t make people treat Christians better. Christian’s couldn’t have services in their churches. Christians had the choice to worship their gods, or they would have to be fired from their positions. They killed bishops. In 320 40 soldiers were killed in 320 for not disowning Christ. It all came to an end in 324 when Licinius lost the battle against Constantine in a battle that they fought in Hadrianopolis. If Constantine didn’t convert to Christianity when he had his vision in 312 this agreement would have never came about. Many things came about of his conversion to Christianity, things such as funding building for churches. He made Sunday a religious holiday in 321, and so many other

    The scene on the mountain demanded that all people hear that Jesus now had the authority over human kind. This was also a significant turning point from Old Testament Law, symbolized by the vision of Moses and Elijah, to the Kingdom of God (Romans 3:21). Peter, James, and John were able to get a foretaste of the glory of the Kingdom and the victory of Jesus which would become clearer to them at His resurrection. Finally, when Jesus spoke to the three disciples about his departure (Luke 9:31) He was indicating his commitment to the cross and therefor the glory of the…

    In 312, Constantine fought in the country of Italy, meeting Maxentius and his army at the Milvian Bridge on the Tiber River. Accounts of Constantine's life state that, after he had a vision, he had ordered the Christian symbol to be painted on everyone of his soldiers' shields. Under this emblem, Constantine was successful in the battle and entered Rome victoriously. Constantine has now become the emperor of Western Rome. He soon used his power to address the fleeting status of Christians, issuing the Edict of Milan in 313 A.D.…

    They made bishops/clergy separate from normal members of the church and creating structure. Rome responded to this with more systematic persecution, but this approach doesn’t work. Christianity became too strong to defeat with force. Christianity had a lot to offer, such as the promise of salvation for people in all different roles of society- rich, poor, aristocrats, slaves, men and women. They had an emphasis on equality. The religion was also familiar. It was another religion offering immortality thanks to the sacrifice of a savior-god, but it offered more. Jesus was relatable because he was also human. Christianity fulfilled the need to belong and created communities. People could express love by helping one another, the poor, sick, widows and orphans. It offered women new roles and friendship with other women. Some women fostered the religion in their homes and preached to townspeople. Some even died for their faith. Constantine was the 1st Christian emperor. In 313 he used the Edict of Milan to officially declare the tolerance of Christianity. Theodosius “the great” made it the official religion of…

    In 312 AD, before Constantine’s army marched against Maxentius whose army was much larger than his, Constantine had a vision. It is said Constantine saw a cross in the sky with the message “you will conquer”. He later had a dream that he should put the letters XP on the soldier's shields and so he did; he won the battle against Maxentius outside Rome. Believing that he only won this battle with the help of Christ, he met with an Emperor in Milan and wrote up the edict of Milan. This made Christianity legal and allowed for Christians to worship…

    The aristocracy of the period also led a very violent lifestyle: this crusade or ‘Holy War’ justified the use of violence as a means of abolishing the threat from Islam on the Christian World. Thirdly, the papacy was very keen on consolidating its political influence in Italy, France and Germany. The papacy wanted to keep the Christian parts of the world as large as possible and they also wanted to make sure that these areas would be completely Christian. Urban wished to expand the Church’s sphere of influence to those previously Christian parts of Europe and Northern Africa which had been overrun by the Islamic world..…

    After the persecution and death of Jesus, a Jew from Nazareth, the new religion of Christianity was sparked and Christians started to pop up all over Rome. Early Christians suffered lots of persecution, but eventually the persecution died down. Early Christians made an impact that first spread through the social aspect of Rome, but soon through the political aspect as well. People with high levels of political power were impacted, one of which being Emperor Constantine. Emperor Constantine issued the Edict of Milan which made it to where Rome allowed all religious worship of all religions.…

    The Christian Church has no political force: the writings of the Apostles teach obedience to any authority and there is a strict separation between politics and the religion for Christians. On the contrary, these two spheres in Roman religion are combined: the Emperor is both the political leader and a religious cult. Therefore, the refusal of Christians to recognize the sanctity of the city and of the Emperor was an important…

    This piece of his sermon was especially effective because prior to the First Crusade, the Christian faith “dominated and dictated everyday life to an extent that can seem almost inconceivable to a modern observer attuned to the attitudes and preconceptions increasingly secularized contemporary society”. This religious fervor perpetuated the “overwhelming anxiety: the danger of sin.” One could say Pope Urban II used the selfish desires of people, mainly referring to the desire of physical safety and comfort as well as spiritual repentance and salvation, in an attempt to convince people to join the Crusade. This was ironic because at the same time, these were the desires that he preached…

    what is the Bible? There are many other questions that are involved with what the Bible is. People have different views about the Bible. A major question that some people have about the Bible is how we got it. Within the question of how we got it is how was it produced and transmitted? Some people may also wonder when and why it was written. Others wonder how it was written at all since ancient Israel was predominantly non-literate before the 7th century (Schniedewing 2). We tend to think of the Bible as a single book but it actually is more than just a book. According to Harris, the Bible is a collection of many individual books written over a period of 1,100 years (Harris 2). Three main important questions about the Bible include, how we got the Bible, how it was produced and transmitted, why some books were included but not others, and why there are several different canons of the Old Testament even today.…

    Constantine established many changes to the Empire. Dam argues, “St. Constantine […] “to Christians and to everyone else the free power to follow whatever religion each person prefers”, (5). In February 313 A.D., St. Constantine and Emperor Licinius signed the Edict of Milan, granting religious freedom to every Roman citizen. Each subject of the Roman Empire had the liberty to choose any religion they wished. As a result, Christians were no longer outlaws, nor enemies of the State. “He [also] abolished executions by crucifixion, called a halt to the battles of gladiators as a punishment for crimes, and in 321 [A.D.] he made Sunday a public holiday”, (Shelley, 100). St. Constantine demonstrated his allegiance to the Christian church by choosing Christians as his advisers. Towards the end of his life, St. Constantine wished for all of his subjects to be members of the Christian faith, and he desired for the Church to be united. At the age of 65 when St. Constantine knew his death was eminent, he decided to be officially baptized into the Christian…

    History mimics itself with Christianity. The New Testament came about after the time of Jesus, because of his teachings. At first, things were shared orally. Especially in Rome, because Christianity it was forbidden at first. After that, His followers wrote religious poetry, stories, narratives and teachings. Then later, someone chose what to include and what to omit to the Christian religious book.…

    It was well documented in his Biography that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle based his character, Sherlock Holmes on his teacher and mentor, Doctor Joseph Bell, a surgeon that Doyle studied under at Edinburgh University (Hodgson 4). We can see another influence on the stories written about “the great detective” in the works that came some 50 years earlier from the American literary critic, poet, editor and writer Edgar Allan Poe. In his own writing, Doyle commented on Poe’s work, specifically mentioning his detective character Dupin in A Study In Scarlet, the first short story to feature Doyle’s character Sherlock Holmes. In it, Dr. Watson, tries to complement Sherlock Holmes, comparing him to Poe’s detective from Murders in the Rue Morgue: "it is simple when you explain. You remind me of Edgar Allan Poe 's Dupin. I had no idea that such individuals did exist out of stories" (30). But Doyle also goes on to point out that the talents of Poe’s character Dupin were not quite on par with the great detective when Sherlock Holmes points out “Now in my opinion Dupin was a very inferior fellow. That trick of breaking in on his friend’s thoughts with an apropos remark after a quarter of an hour’s silence is really very showy and superficial. He has some analytical genius, no doubt; but he was by no means such a phenomenon as Poe appeared to imagine” (30). In other words, Dupin was ok but he’s “an inferior fellow” (30) not at the level of “the great detective” Sherlock Holmes (Hodgson).…
