I never thought of the epistles as prophetic,, I always considered them as teaching doctrine only. But now I have understood the core structures of prophetic writings.

My testimony concerning Analyse and Applying the Bible

2023-09-27

MY TESTIMONY CONCERNING ANALYSE AND APPLYING BIBLE

on this course i have been studying and listening to our lecture and I have learned the following:

Introduction to interpretation

The following principles must be considered:

1. Communication

2. Understanding

3. The ancient and modern audience

I have learned about analyse and apply the Bible genre pitfalls.

1. Not allegories filled with hidden meanings.

2. Purpose of narrative is to point us to God’s deeds, not necessarily our obligations.

I have learned analyse and apply the Bible from meaning to application.

By –

Taking the meaning of the text for the original and look at the difference between them and us .

Extract the principle from the text – does it fit with what the rest of Scripture teaches?

These are some of the principles I have learned in this course.

Ministry in Holy Spirit

2023-09-17

I have learnt that all that I do the heavens must direct. This means I should always listen to the Holy Spirit even as I listen to my audience. I need to take time to allow God do his work through me. I have learnt in the process that character development through through the Holy Spirit is key and should preceed the gifts if I am to minister effectively

Understanding God

2023-09-05

This topic taught me what theology is. It is simply seeking to understand God. I learned that God is in trinity. That is God the father, God the son, and God the Holy spirit, three equal person and they are equal in status. We also discussed unity in trinity and trinity in unity. And this unity should as well be demonstrated in the church of God, the church should learn unity and be able to work together in harmony. Trinity is said to be a loving peaceful and expensive fellowship, and it is out of the overflow of these relationship that creation and humans came together. We also learned about the attributes of God: God is eternity he lives for ever, self-sufficient, impassibility not affected by anything external to himself. He is omnipotent everywhere, he is omnipotent all powerful, he is omniscience all knowing and omnibenevolence God is God. God is responsible for creation, Christ for salvation and the holy spirit redemption. Holy spirit leades reveals and empowers us . I very much appreciate this course because even though I knew about trinity I had some misconceptions. I looked at God the father as a superior one which was wrong thanks to this course which cleared the misunderstanding.

Understanding God's plan

2023-05-17

Knowing and understanding God’s plan from the very beginning of the book of Genesis and after the fall of man is so amazing. God by His divine and master plan makes the church and the individual that trusted Him to be partakers of His something big. I am so grateful as being in that circle and to go and proclaim God’s saving grace to all.

What i learnt

2023-01-18

It was a very interesting course, i learnt a lot about being the church and the importance of discipleship and caring for not only the people outside the church but the individuals in the church. There were a few statements and things i didnt believe, but for me that was encouraging because it meant that i was forming my own opinions on things and wasnt just piggy backing off someone elses view of the bible but the the truth from the bible. thankyou i learnt many things.

My testimony concerning theology of God

2023-09-27

MY TESTIMONY CONCERNING THEOLOGY OF GOD.

It is a great time to be part of the AXX BIBLE COLLEGE

I have been learning new things in this College especially the course of the theology of God.

I have been about theology: God and humanity

To know the word theology is simply seeking to understand God.

I have learned the proper theology by asking and research the following questions.

What do the Scriptures reveals to us about God?

What does it mean to believe God is Trinity?

What revealed about the Father, son and the Holy Spirit?

I have learned the works of Christ in five keys

1. The Kingdom of God. (It where God reigns as avm King)

2. Jesus’ crucifixion (which represents us with a very human Jesus, who wrestled in the garden and was ill-treated)

3. The atonement ( which means to be reconciled to God because our sins have been dealt with and we are forgiven)

4. Jesus’ resurrection and ascension (it is at the heart of Christian faith, “and if Christ has not been raised your faith is futile, you are still in sins…)

5. Jesus’ second coming. ( For Jesus promised he would return,)

God bless you for such power and inspiring Lessons.
