    Paul the Apostle gave us not only some of the most profound pieces of early Christian theological reflection, but also some of the finest, poignant writing in history. Throughout Paul of Tarsus’ life, he has been able to contribute to the development of Christianity through his heritage, his personal encounter with Jesus and his life as a missionary for Jesus. AD 33, before Paul converted to Christ, Christianity grew only amongst disaffected Jews. A Jew himself, Paul spoke Greek and inherited Roman citizenship. This enabled him to put Jewish ideas into the language of the Gentiles, and because of his efforts, through his missionary journey’s throughout Asia, Macedonia and the West, Christianity grew from its beginnings in Israel to the rest of the Roman Empire.…

    To begin with, both of these men had very promising futures. Judas and Peter were chosen to receive a very valuable education, the personal teachings of Christ. They were handpicked by Jesus himself to be a part of the twelve apostles and were given the opportunity to learn right from wrong. Among other things, they were taught to pray, they had Jesus wash their feet, and they had the privilege of attending the last supper. In spite of all that Christ had given and taught them, He knew and warned Peter and Judas that they would both betray Him. Even though they had been warned, Judas and Peter went on to betray Jesus anyways. This made them grave sinners. After their betrayals, they realized how gravely they had sinned and they both felt remorse over their actions and repented. Though they had many similarities, it was their differences that determined their eternal fates.…

    His reference to “gnosis” is in an orthodox sense and is not to be confused with the heresy of Gnosticism. His polemics are mainly directed against the Judaizing Christians, such as the Ebionites and the Nazarenes. The separation of the Gentile Christians from observant Jews is clearly insisted upon. The covenant promises belong only to the Christians (Barnabas 4:6-8), and circumcision, and the entire Jewish sacrificial and ceremonial system are of no effect in salvation. According to the author's conception, the ceremonial observances of the Law are not injunctions but types pointing the Jews to look to Christ (chapters 9-10). He is a thorough opponent to Jewish legalism, but by no means antinomian. The author demonstrates that Jewish understanding of the Mosaic legislation (Torah) is completely incorrect and can now be considered superseded by the New Covenant. Barnabas is an important first century document because it corroborates the Gospel’s presentation of salvation-history. He writes that the Jewish scriptures in fact foreshadow Jesus and Christianity when rightly…

    Judas Iscariot is one of Jesus Christ’s Twelve Apostles, and had travelled with Christ throughout his journey for three years. Judas is known for his kiss and betrayal of Jesus. His hometown is believed to be Kerioth, which was about 15 miles south of Hebron, in Israel. Before he became one of the Twelve disciples, Judas was a thief. He was in charge of the group's money bag and sometimes stole from it. He was disloyal. With the mercy of the Christ, he was invited to become one of Jesus’s Twelve Disciples. Judas sold Jesus to the Sandherin priests in exchange of 30 silver coins. The question is why did Judas betray Jesus Christ? There are several interpretations why Judas betrayed Christ. According to John 12:4-12:6, Judas’s mortal sin in greed. Another interpretation was that Judas does not love money, but rather patriotic. He assumed Jesus had failed to overthrow the Roman rule. The last interpretation, but not least was that Judas was tempted by the devil Satan (see verse Luke 22:3–6 and John 13:27). According to John 6:64 and Matthew 26:25, Jesus already knew and foresaw his betrayal, thus allowing Judas to betray him. The reason why for this possible interpretation is because Jesus Christ’s mission is to fulfill God’s plan to save sinners on earth. Feeling remorseful and guilty, Judas committed suicide, but there were many interpretations of his suicide. Judas hanged himself (Matthew 27:3-10), and the Gospel said that this is the fulfillment of the prophecy. According to the Acts of Apostles, Judas used the money that the priest paid him to buy a field, “... burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out” (Acts of the Apostles, 1:18-19). Another interpretation was that he was persecuted by being stoned to death according to the Gospel of Judas. Not much is known about his beginning life, but he died in the year 30 A.D. Most Christians still consider Judas as a traitor, while others embraced him for…

    Peter delivers a sermon explaining the miracle. He says that the gift of tongues is given to prophets. Peter summarizes the life, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus. He gives scriptural proof that Jesus is the Messiah, the savior whom God promises in the Old Testament to send to save Jews from their adversity. Responding to Peter’s sermon, 3,000 people are baptized into the Christian community—an idealized, thriving community characterized by prayer, brotherhood, common ownership, and sharing. A man named Barnabas is particularly praised for his generosity, and a couple that defrauds the church is stricken dead. Going to the temple to pray, Peter and John cure a crippled beggar. Peter tells a crowd the story of Jesus’s persecution and his eventual resurrection, concluding with a reminder that the Jews are favored by God and a call to repentance. The Sadducee high priests of the temple, who do not believe in the resurrection of the dead, bring Peter and John before the Jewish high court, where Peter preaches the Gospel fearlessly. The court, which is called the Sanhedrin, recognizes that public opinion is in favor of the apostles and releases them with only a warning.…
