Lucas is trying to argue that Jesus Christ was really a founder of Socialism since his “whole being was one flame of hatred for wealth‚ and all that wealth stands for...” Lucas claims that in regards to the type of life Christ lived that he is totally against the rich people of the world. Lucas even goes and quotes scripture to back himself up; however‚ all the scripture he uses is taken largely out of context. For example‚ Lucas quotes the first section of Matthew 6:19‚ “Do not store up for yourselves

Gospel of Jesus Christ Definitions Atonement To make atonement means to avert punishment especially divine anger‚ by the payment of a ransom‚ which may be money or which may be of life. Throughout the OT sin is serious; it was punished unless atonement was sought in the way God had provided. It means “a making at one”‚ and points to a process of bringing those who are estranged into a unity. Its use in the Bible to denote the work of Christ in dealing with the problem posed by the sin of

The life of Jesus Christ is a very emotional yet religious topic to explain about. His birth was miraculous‚ the way he lived was very sin free and religious and his death changed people’s lives forever. The innocence and loyalty that Jesus portrayed was still not enough for the Roman Empire. He was just too over powering for the government and other peoples lives and was considered a risky individual. The birth of Jesus was said to be on December 25 yet in the bible there was no set date on which

The Life of Jesus Christ The birth of Jesus Christ to the Virgin Mary is said to have happened in a humble stable in Bethlehem‚ which is of some controversy. There is belief that the Christian Monks miscalculated the actual time and date that Jesus was born. It has been stated that Jesus‚ born in Bethlehem as told in the Old Testament‚ could have been born in or near Nazareth in the town of Galilee. With that‚ some scholars have dated Jesus’ lineage back as far as Adam‚ the son of God

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ No other event in history has been the object of as much scrutiny and criticism as the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The resurrection of Christ is the basis upon which all Christianity stands. If the resurrection never happened‚ then there would be no Christianity‚ as the Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:14‚ "And if Christ has not been raised‚ our preaching is useless and so is your faith." This is why opponents of the Christian faith have tried to attempt

Jesus’ Death While ultimately it is sinners who sent Jesus to the cross to bear their sins‚ Jewish leaders sought to kill Jesus from the beginning of his ministry for several reasons. Jewish leaders felt threatened by Christ’s leadership when He challenged the temple‚ but they also made accusations that He worked on the Sabbath‚ and they felt that He was attempting to make himself equal to God by claiming that He is the son of God. Pastor David L. Brown writes‚ “…the Jewish leadership (the Scribes
