7a

Luke 12

Since I�m working up the paper for the church history intensive, I am working on an outline. I need to do some intensive research into the history of the Old Testament people who followed God. You see, I�m of the opinion that the name �Jew� came from Judah � Judaism. Therefore, before Judah was born, what were the God-followers called? Did they have a label?

Regardless, this is the outline for the paper. The formatting doesn�t hold over to the diary, but that�s okay. I have the proper formatting in my word processing program.

I Past

A Original Design

1 Adam and Eve � personal communion with God

2 daily, blameless walk with God

B God�s Church � Legalism

1 Rules � the 10 commandments

a blessings for obeying the rules

b curses for disobedience

2 Traditions � the instructions for living life

C Judaism

1 Pharisees

a Luke 12:1-12

2 Sadducees

3 Jew vs Gentile

II Present

A Jesus� death began the present � He was, and is and is to come!

1 Luke 12:35-48 � The Son of man will come at an hour when you do not expect him v40 � The Jews didn�t expect Jesus even when He was there. They specifically didn�t expect Jesus as the sacrificial Lamb, nor as their savior/our savior.

B The Kingdom of God is Now

1 God is beyond time

2 Jesus is God with God as God

3 Jesus died and because of this we are:

a saved

b dead to the flesh

c reborn into the spirit

i one with Jesus ie: we are God with God as God because Jesus lives within us.

III Future

A Truly living as God with God � Living in the Spirit

1 Performing miracles

a healing

b casting out demons

2 Living beyond the physical

a walking on water

b moving mountains

That�s what I�ve got so far.

If any of you readers has suggestions for Bible verses, or additional text which might flesh out this paper, I�d greatly appreciate knowing about it. Leave a message in the Guest Book
