Who wrote the Gospel according to Matthew’s account? Who wrote the Gospel according to John’s account? Did the Holy Spirit inspire the four Gospels? Confessions of the Gospel of Luke The Church admits that there are forged additions in the New Testament The Gospel of Jesus Christ Who wrote the Old Testament? Loss of the Torah (Old Testament) Loss of a large number of the Bible's Books 3 In my early twenties, I have started my journey of exploring the world. I have visited many countries around the world and learnt about many different cultures and customs. I was shocked by the extent difference between the religions. I saw the Buddhist monks distancing themselves from the worldly life and devoting themselves to worshipping their god, Buddha. I saw the Christian monks isolating themselves in the monasteries and devoting themselves to worshipping their god, Jesus Christ. I saw those who worship trees, stones, cows, mice, fire, money and other inanimate objects, and I saw those who do not believe in the existence of God or they do believe in the existence of God, but they say, “We do not know anything about him.” I liked to hear from each one his point of view about what he worships. -
Week-8-Sunday-July-15-2018
Week of July 15, 2018 (Covers Readings from July 8-July 14) Overview The following information is provided as a basic orientation to reading the Bible. Feel free to add to it and use it in any way that is helpful for your group. Also, feel free to make copies of these pages for members of your group! In Jonah, the prophet is instructed to go to Nineveh “and preach against it.” However, instead of following God’s command, Jonah runs away from the Lord, fleeing in the opposite direction toward Tarshish. While he is aboard the ship to Tarshish, God sends a violent storm to threaten the ship.The crew, upon determining Jonah as the catalyst for the storm, throw him overboard. Immediately the sea becomes calm, and God sends a “great fish” to swallow Jonah whole, where he remains for three days and nights. There Jonah prays to the Lord and the fish expels him onto dry land. He at once heads to Nineveh to finally obey God’s command—and the Ninevites immediately repent and turn to the Lord. Seeing God’s compassion toward them, Jonah becomes angry and sulks away, prompting a rebuke from the Lord. In Malachi, we hear both God’s lamentation and indictment against post-exilic Israel. Though the temple had long been rebuilt and the people had long been established in the land after returning from exile, their commitment to faithfully live as God’s people began to wane—they had shown contempt for God’s name (1:6), offered false worship (1:7-14), led others into sin (2:7-9), broken God’s laws (2:11-16), called evil “good” (2:17), kept God’s tithes and offerings to themselves (3:8- 12), and became arrogant (3:13- 15). -
Jesus' Intervention in the Temple
JETS 58/3 (2015) 545–69 JESUS’ INTERVENTION IN THE TEMPLE: ONCE OR TWICE? ALLAN CHAPPLE* The Gospel of John has Jesus intervening dramatically in the TemplE (John 2:13–22) before he bEgins his public ministry in Galilee (John 3:24; 4:3; cf. Mark 1:14). HowevEr, the only such event rEported in the Synoptics occurs at the end of Jesus’ ministry (Mark 11:15–18 and parallels). What are wE to makE of this discrep- ancy? Logically, there are four possible explanations: 1. The Synoptics are right about when the event took place—so that John has moved it to the beginning of the ministry, presumably for theological reasons. This is the view of the overwhelming majority. 2. John is right about when this happened—so the Synoptic Gospels have moved it to the end of Jesus’ ministry (again, presumably for theological reasons).1 3. NeithEr the Synoptics nor John have got it right, because no such event oc- curred.2 * Allan ChapplE is SEnior LEcturEr in NT at Trinity ThEological CollEgE, P.O.

JOHN WILLIAMS GUNNISON John W. Gunnison was born in Goshen, New Hampshire in 1812; he graduated from West Point in 1837, second in his class of fifty cadets. After he had served one year in the Florida campaign against the Seminole Indians, his health led him to ask for a reassignment to the Corps of Topographical Engineers, where he spent the rest of his military career. But his new appointment did not take him out of the Florida swamps for another year; in 1839 he helped to build a road in Florida until his superiors were forced to send him to Saratoga Springs in order that he could recover his health. He then finished his southern tour of duty in supervising the construction of a canal in Georgia. While there, he married Martha A. Delony on 15 April 1841. For the next eight years, 1841 to 1849, he was engaged in survey work in the Great Lakes region. He helped plot the boundary between Wisconsin and Michigan, the western coast of Lake Michigan, the coasts of Lake Erie, and the marshy areas of northern Ohio. He was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant on 9 May 1846 but did not serve in the Mexican War, continuing with his duties as an engineer in the Great Lakes area. In the spring of 1849 he was assigned as second in command of the Howard Stansbury Expedition to explore and survey the Valley of the Great Salt Lake. During the trip across the plains in the spring and summer of that year, Gunnison was so ill that he was forced to ride in a closed carriage until, at Fort Bridger, he had recovered sufficiently to take charge of the party the rest of the way to the Mormon capital while Stansbury reconnoitered a new road to Salt Lake City. -

Heavenly Visions and Prophetic Calls in Isaiah 6 (2 Nephi 16), the Book of Mormon, and the Revelation of John Stephen D
Heavenly Visions and Prophetic Calls in Isaiah 6 (2 Nephi 16), the Book of Mormon, and the Revelation of John Stephen D. Ricks Isaiah's call, which involved a vision of God on his throne, a heavenly book, songs of praise, a commission, protests, and reassurances, compares instructively to the calls of Lehi and John. From writing room table to the high throne of heaven, from the beginning of time to the end of the world, the visions of Isaiah, Lehi, and John the Revelator span the cos mos. Of all the prophets of ancient Israel or of the early church, none come as warmly recommended in the Book of Mormon as are Isaiah and John, the apostle of the Lamb. Nephi3 records the risen Lord as saying,"Great are the words of Isaiah" (see 3 Nephi 23:1 ), and an angel affirmed to Nephi that the things that the apostle John should write "are just and true" (1 Nephi 14:23). The writings of Isaiah and many parts of the Book of Mormon pronounce prophecies of judgment and hope on Israel. In the Bible, Isaiah's message is echoed in the Revela tion of John, which provides hope for the people of the Lord but pronounces judgment on Babylon, or the world. This paper, illustrated with Christian religious art from the medieval and early Renaissance eras, considers common elements of these heavenly visions and prophetic calls as recorded in the writings of Isaiah, in the Book of Mormon, and in the book of Revelation. Isaiah's call to be a prophet in Isaiah 6 and Lehi's call in 1 Nephi 1--€xperiences that are echoed by John in Revelation 1-5------contain basic elements of "call narratives": (1) a his torical introduction that provides the setting of the vision; (2) the divine confrontation between the prophet and God or another holy being; (3) the prophet's reaction to the 172 • Stephen D. -
The Life of Calvin
THE AGES DIGITAL LIBRARY HISTORY THE LIFE OF JOHN CALVIN by Theodore Beza B o o k s F o r Th e A g e s AGES Software • Albany, OR USA Version 1.0 © 1998 2 THE LIFE OF JOHN CALVIN, CAREFULLY WRITTEN BY THEODORE BEZA MINISTER OF THE CHURCH OF GENEVA LIFE OF JOHN CALVIN, BY THEODORE BEZA SHOULD any one suppose that I have engaged in writing this Life of John Calvin from any other motive than zeal to maintain the truth, the present state of human affairs will, I hope, easily vindicate me from the calumny. For there is scarcely any shorter road to all kinds of disaster than to praise virtue; and it were extreme folly voluntarily to bring down on one’s self evils which mere silence may avert. But if the wicked allow no kind of virtue to be proclaimed with impunity, what must those expect, whose object it is to proclaim piety, which is of a higher order than virtue, and is not only opposed by the wicked, but is also very often assailed even by persons who are most desirous to appear, and sometimes also to be, honest? For piety has no enemies more inveterate than those who have sincerely embraced a false religion, thinking it true, But these things, however formidable in appearance, have not at all deterred me. For it were shameful if, from fear of the wicked, the good were not to be spoken of, and if the voice of religion were to be suppressed by the clamors of the superstitious. -
Forgotten Pathfinders: Along the North Branch of Old Spanish Trail 1650
Forgotten Pathfnders Along the North Branch of the Old Spanish Trail 1650-1850 by Jack William Nelson Copyright© 2003, Jack William Nelson Ed. 2016, Jon M. Nelson Forgotten pathfnders: Along the North Branch of the Old Spanish Trail, 1650-1850 by Jack William Nelson About the author: Jack Nelson is a retired public schools administrator, with a Master of Arts in History from the University of Redlands, Redlands, California, 1950. He has spent many years researching the “Old Spanish Trail,” the fur trade era, Mountain Men, and all points connected. His background includes archaeological work, and untold hours backpacking miles of the “Trail.” His thesis, “Louis Robidoux, the Man Behind the Legend,” has been recognized as one of the few authentic documents pertaining to this entrepreneur of the ninteenth cen tury fur trade period. It has been used as reference for continued research on this subject, Jack Nelson is a native Coloradan, and now resides in Grand Junction, Colorado. Editors Note: This edition was published in 2003, with limited distribution, it was the intent of the Author to provide a wider public exposure through online publication as a Pdf, with the goal of promoting scholarship. lNTRODUCTlON “Forgotten Pathfnders” The North Branch of the Old Spanish Trail and Beyond This booklet is about a series of events which culminated in a Trail shrouded in the mists of history. Known today as the North Branch of the Old Spanish Trail, little physical evidence remains of this pack animal route(s) across the interior wilderness of the American Southwest. Priests spreading the Catholic faith, brigands bent upon capturing Indian slaves, “Mountain Men” speaking many languages, entrepreneurs seeking fame and fortune, and adventurers just seeking, all at some time played a role in creating this ephemeral route, once a major variant of the Old Spanish Trail. -
