TIL in my theology course about a theme in the Gospel of Matthew:

The idea of χρισις (krisis, meaning judgement) in Matthew, on a person's actions indicates actions DO matter to the salvation of someone. Because we will be judged on our actions not on what we profess with words

How we read the Bible, like our understanding of life itself, is affected by many dimensions, including or age, gender, race, culture, socio-economic class, religion, ability, sexual orientation, and nation of origin... Studying the Bible with only one's own set of lived experiences or educational viewpoints limits the possibilities for gaining meaning from biblical texts.

Shalom à todos! 😀 É um imenso prazer poder começar esse projeto com vocês 😍 Gostaria de me apresentar; meu nome é Nathalia Barbosa, sou de São Paulo e desde pequena, tenho uma grande sede de Aventura 🚀 Como descrito na bio, sou uma aspirante a Arqueóloga e sou Historiadora por diversão ✨ Sempre gostei de coisas antigas e de estudar sobre o passado; mas só ultimamente que venho me dedicando de verdade à esses assuntos. E por ser Cristã, senti uma forte atração e interesse pela área da Arqueologia e História Bíblica. Por isso, decidi criar esse Instagram com o intuito de tanto ensinar o que já aprendi e de aprender o que ainda não descobri 😄 Hoje em dia, sinto que muitos Cristãos não possuem o devido conhecimento das Escrituras, ocorrendo casos de ficarem até sem graça por não conseguirem responder perguntas básicas como o nome dos doze apóstolos de Jesus - e devo me incluir nesse meio, pois ainda existem milhares de coisas que não sei, e olha que sou Cristã desde que nasci! Então, esse é o meu objetivo; trazer conhecimentos Históricos e Arqueológicos sobre a Bíblia Sagrada de um jeito fácil e divertido, deixando de lado as questões Espirituais para cada um resolver com o próprio Deus e nosso Senhor Jesus 😉

Praying in Tongues Reformed Forum (Channel) | One of the hardest aspects of Pentecostalism for Glen Clary to leave behind was praying in other tongues. Yet after much Biblical study, Glen came to understand better the biblical passages that speak of this activity and the role of the Holy Spirit to intercede in prayer on behalf of all the saints.

Avoid Spiritual Weakness: Know the Word Yourself

There is a sobering reality that the Spirit of God is revealing in this hour: many people are being spiritually weakened, not because the truth is unavailable, but because they have not truly embraced it for themselves. The Word of God is not meant to be secondhand nourishment. It is meant to be daily bread. When individuals only listen to what others say, but do not search the Scriptures…

Isaac Newton: How a Love for God Fueled One of History’s Greatest Scientific Minds

Isaac Newton is widely regarded as one of the greatest scientific minds the world has ever known. His discoveries in physics, mathematics, optics, and astronomy reshaped our understanding of the universe. Laws of motion. Universal gravitation. Calculus. Few names loom larger in the history of science. What is often overlooked, however, is this: Newton’s passion for science was deeply intertwined…

When Confidence Meets Reality

A Day in the Life of Jesus There are moments in the Gospels when the veil lifts, and we glimpse not only the heart of Jesus but the fragile heart of His disciples—especially Peter. Today’s passage from Mark 14:26–31 comes just hours before the cross, in the quiet space between the Upper Room and Gethsemane. The Last Supper is finished. The hymn has been sung. The night air on the Mount of Olives…
