Transcendence is the concept of being above and beyond all limitations, existing in a state that surpasses the physical, temporal, and finite. It denotes a reality that is independent, self-sufficient, and unbounded by space, time, or any created thing. In theological discussions, transcendence refers to the absolute superiority of God over all creation. He is not confined by the laws of nature, not limited by human understanding, and not dependent on anything for His existence. He is infinite, eternal, and wholly other, existing beyond the realm of human comprehension. While many beings ...

You are invited to look into how the Old Testament Scriptures present Yahweh, the one true God and Creator of all, as interacting with humans in the visible form of a man—thus anticipating our understanding of the Second Person of the Godhead and His Incarnation.

Since the earliest days of Christianity, there have been continual doctrinal battles concerning the faith. As time passed, theologians presented new theories and “revelations” concerning God and His word. Because of this, many are unsure of what to believe and of what is the proper way to approach God in religion and relationship. In this book, we will reflect on the correlation between religion, relationship, and righteousness in Christianity. Book 3 of 3.

Who is Jesus Christ? This question elicits a lot of mystery and confusion. Some say Jesus was only a regular human—maybe a wise man or prophet. Others say he is a created being, like an angel. Still, others say Jesus is God but not human. While others say he is both fully God and fully human. Who exactly is Jesus? Scripture teaches that our eternal destiny depends on how we answer this question (1 John 4:2-3, Rom 10:9-10); therefore, it befits us to reflect on this question and answer it correctly. In Christology, we’ll consider what the Bible says about Jesus Christ, so that we may ...

Mozliwe, ze jestes zly na Boga albo obecnie w niego nie wierzysz. A moze wierzysz w Boga, ale zostales zraniony. Moze jestes muzulmaninem, wyznawca hinduizmu, buddysta lub innego wyznania.

The "death" spoken of in Genesis 3:3 was clearly not death as we know the word today. Adam and Eve went on to live for another 930 years and started the human race, so evidently, the death spoken of here was referring to spiritual death, what most Christians like to refer to today as "separation from God".

In this five-session, audio Bible study (guide sold separately), Andy Stanley unpacks the power of faith and the need for maintaining your confidence in Jesus Christ amid the ups and downs of daily life. If you grew up in a religious home, you were probably taught that God answers prayers. Maybe you were even taught that if you just had enough faith, God would say yes to what you were asking him to do.

The Buddha and Jesus Christ are two great spiritual leaders who founded two important world religions. Though they are similar in certain respects, they differ greatly one from the other as founders of religion, in the same way that their doctrines differ from one another. This paper aims at making a brief comparative study of these two great personages in their role as religious teachers.

In this five-session audio Bible study, pastor and author Rich Wilkerson, Jr. reveals how Jesus was referred to as a “friend of tax collectors and sinners” (Luke 7:34). In the religious leaders’ minds this was one of the greatest indictments imaginable, but for Jesus it was a sign of success because it was the very definition of his mission. Rich shows that by following Jesus’ example, we can have the same clear conviction and compassion for the lost that he did.

Les chrétiens peuvent facilement avoir l’impression que Jésus est perpétuellement déçu et frustré par leur marche chrétienne, voire qu’il est même sur le point de les abandonner. Ils savent ce que Jésus a fait pour eux, mais ils ont souvent une connaissance superficielle de sa personne. Quels sont les sentiments qui l’animent lorsqu’il considère les péchés et les échecs de son peuple ? Dans Matthieu 11, Jésus se décrit comme étant « doux et humble de cœur », désirant ardemment que son peuple trouve le repos en lui.

The events of the Crucifixion continue to fascinate biblical scholars and artists alike.

“Lying thus in the presence of Jesus on the cross, I seemed to die to every earthly thing. At the same time, I committed to Jesus my all, my body, my sicknesses/health, I fully turned over to Jesus to trust Him in through life and through death.” - Harrold Armstrong Baker –Who is this Jesus? He is the Alpha and the Omega; He is the visible manifestation of the invisible God, the Father. Jesus is the first and the last; and He is the Almighty. The "Savior” Jesus Christ is God. The one who sits on the throne in heaven is Jesus, the Lamb. The Savior Jesus Christ is our great God; He is...

La divinité du Seigneur Jésus-Christ est un principe essentiel—et non négociable—de la foi chrétienne. Il y a de cela très longtemps, Jésus a posé cette question à ses disciples : « Et vous, qui dites-vous que je suis ? » Voilà une question vitale à laquelle nous devons tous répondre. Heureusement, la Parole de Dieu nous éclaire sur l’identité de Jésus-Christ et apporte une réponse définitive à cette question. Dans ce livre, le pasteur et théologien John MacArthur présente une défense biblique de la divinité de Christ, la pierre angulaire de la doctrine chrétienne.

Separating fact from fiction, Professor Le Donne places Jesus within the context of first-century Judaism, and explores the debate about his status as 'Son of God' among the early Christians. He then follows his legacy through medieval Europe, and compares the various cultural Jesuses in enlightenment and post-enlightenment thought.

The Cross of Jesus Christ stands as the single most necessary and transformative event in human history. It is the ultimate solution to the deepest problem that has plagued humanity since the beginning—our separation from God. The need for the Cross is not a concept created by religion, nor is it simply a symbolic gesture of sacrifice. The Cross was necessary because it directly addressed the most fundamental crisis of the human race. It was not just an option for salvation; it was the only way to bridge the chasm between a holy God and a fallen world. Without the Cross, there would be no...
