I have two memories of the Church—both of which are embarrassing. The first was during my First Communion‚ which is third of the seven sacraments where someone first receives the Eucharist (the body and blood of Jesus). For the ceremony‚ my parents dressed me in a terribly fit suit and at that age I was missing both of my front teeth—I looked ridiculous. Sometime during the ceremony I accidentally blew out my candle. I look around and every other kid still has their candle lit so I tried to fake

Impact of Jesus History of Western Civilization If there was a debate focusing on the question of who is the most important‚ influential‚ or impactful person in the history of the world‚ Jesus Christ and Chuck Norris would be neck and neck for the top spot. Although Chuck may present an interesting case‚ Jesus has to take the cake for how he influenced entire cultures and their cultural beliefs during his time on earth‚ and almost 2000 years later in the modern era. The amount of lives he has

My name is Ted and I am one of the nephews of Louie and Amy Alves. From day one Amy faced obstacles and even on her death-bed she never showed fear‚ never stopped laughing and never gave up. She inspired so many people throughout the course of her life and that was obvious by the turnout at the wake last night. Amy was a die-hard sports fan and a very athletic person growing up. She had 9 brothers and sisters‚ which I am sure contributed to her competitiveness. There is no doubt that she came from

The journey of life begins at the day we are born‚ we get afraid as the first time we walk because we might fall and get hurt‚ we are afraid to do some things because we might fail‚ and sometimes we are afraid to confess because we might be rejected. That’s how life begins with us‚ we are afraid to do something new‚ because we don’t know what life will it bring to us‚ sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s bad. We never know what tomorrow will give us‚ but tomorrow is the reason why we become stronger

After reading “Jesus’ Two Natures: God and Man” by Matt Slick‚ I now have a better and more clear understanding of the relationship of Jesus’ human and divine nature. The common misconception‚ outlined in the text‚ is that Jesus is half man and half God. This simply is not true; Jesus has two very distinct natures: he is both divine and human. Jesus was the Word of God‚ and with that said‚ Jesus’s divine nature and ability did not alter when He became flesh. When Jesus became flesh and gained his

Jesus being conceived in a supernatural manner became man and God in one creation. God became incarnate in this child who became known by the name of Jesus (Mathew 1:18-25). Jesus was a Palestinian Jew‚ born in a town south of Jerusalem‚ raised in Nazareth in a small village in Galilee. Jesus was not any ordinary child. Jesus was the son of the living God. Not only was

Jesus Christ is the self-proclaimed Messiah‚ and his mission was to follow God’s will‚ and spread the word about God’s will. Jesus was the son of a carpenter‚ and his mother was not married to his father when he was conceived (although the conception was divine according to the bible) so she would have likely been the butt of jokes and scorned. He was born in a manger according to the bible‚ but research suggests that he was more likely born somewhere else. Early in life he ran away from his parents
