Written Response

1.) Tim Keller is trying to communicate to the reader that there is one consensus message in the gospel as well as in the entire bible.

2.) - First main point Keller says that he think that each gospel is different just expressed in different ways. I think that we cant take one version of the gospel that we like we have to see the gospel from all different aspects. Also Keller says that there is no perfect way to teach the gospel.

-Second main point Keller says that he thinks that Dudd is right when he says that there is a consensus message in the entire bible. Keller says that bible is basically thee gospel from many different points of view.Also that we as followers of christ have an obligation to study those different versions of the gospel. -Third main point Keller refers to the text and says that paul said wether it was I or they so we preached and so you believed . I think what paul is trying to say is that the way i preached the gospel and the they preached the gospel is not the exactly the same but there is a general message behind it.

3.) I always looked at the bible as diffrenet stories all put together to talk about what god wants of us . After reading Kellers article it opened my mind to what the true purpose of the gospel and it has just one message that god wants to have a relationship with you but your sins separate you from god jesus died for you and your sins that you deserve punishment for so if repent and trust in god for your salvation. I have now come to realize that is indeed the consensus message in the bible and that every other gospel is just another form of this message.

    When one picks up the Bible and reads the first four books of the Bible they see many similarities, but also great differences. The first three books are referred to as Synoptic Gospels; this is because they contain many of the same stories, often in similar wording and sequence. John however is much different; the details, wording, and events highlighted by John are unique. In the following paper a comparison between Matthew’s Gospel and John’s Gospel will be found.…

    Kimball Argument Analysis

    I really enjoyed this article. It has been one of my favorites thus far. Kimball had many quality arguments and opinions on what needs to change within the church. His main point of this article is stated on page 86, "I believe true emerging churches must go deep within, and form the inside out, rethink. reshape, and revalue how we are about everything as culture changes. We must rethink leadership, church structure, the role of a pastor, spiritual formation, how community is lived out, how evangelism is done, how we express our worship, etc. It is not about what we do in the worship service, but about everything". I agree with Kimball that the Church still has a lot of growing to do, and trough that growing there must be some changes made along the way. Over the years we have lost our way, and need help guiding us back on the right path.…

    The Bible Among Myths

    To summarize the book’s overall theme, Oswalt desires that his reader gives any evidence of accuracy the credit it is due. Not to be swayed by unsubstantiated conjectures that might diminish the focus of what is fundamentally true. His is not a request for us to look past the inaccuracies or to take a stance that if the Bible says it’s so then that’s all there is to it. Mr. Oswalt asks the reader to allow the possibility of ‘harmonization’ and not jump to any conclusions without allowing for the truth to reveal itself in the scripture.…

    4. Philip’s clergy construct is different from that of others in the sense that he disagrees with the views of members of the clergy who wish to reform certain practices of the church. Philip believes that the traditional methodologies of the church should continue to be followed, and he sees it as somewhat irrational and unbecoming that reformers would revoke what they were taught and swore to carry out. These differences in construction of events and beliefs would most closely apply to the individuality corollary.…
