  4. Christian Doctrine 1 / Dr. Billings Patron Saint of the WeekSaint Peter • First of the “apostles”: chosen and sent by Christ • “on this rock”: Simon called “Cephas” (Rock): considered foundation of human church • Sinner: know for devout love of Christ, but also weakness of faith, denial of Jesus • “Petrine” foundation claimed by RC church – beginning of “apostolic tradition”

  5. Christian Doctrine 1 / Dr. Billings Jesus of Nazareth Titles/designations for Jesus: • “Son of God” • Creator (Genesis) • Fulfillment of covenant • Abraham (Abraham-Isaac-Jacob-Joseph) • Savior of Israel • Passover, Moses (Exodus) • “Son of David”/King of Israel • David the model king • Messiah (Christ): prophets • Isaiah’s (and others’ prophecies)

  6. Christian Doctrine 1 / Dr. Billings Messiah as “Prophet, Priest, and King” Explain the three functions Jesus as Messiah fulfills. • Prophet: • speaks for God; brings his word; interprets our age • Priest: • mediator between God and humans, bridge • Pope as “Pontifex” • King: • ruler; one whose will is to be done; has authority over us; we are called to be subject to him.

  7. Christian Doctrine 1 / Dr. Billings I.N.R.I. What does I.N.R.I. signify? • It is the abbreviation for the Latin phrase “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews:” • This was the sign Pontius Pilate has placed on the cross of Christ – in a cynical move, which proved for Christians to be ironic.

  8. Christian Doctrine 1 / Dr. Billings Jesus as “King of Israel”

  9. Christian Doctrine 1 / Dr. Billings John 19: Coronation of the King? What are the Five Sorrowful Mysteries? • The Agony in the Garden • Jesus keeps vigil; prays as his death approaches (2) The Scourging at the Pillar • Jesus suffers great pain prior to his execution (3) The Crowning with Thorns • Jesus is made “king”: ironic, and authentic (4) The Carrying of the Cross • Jesus carries the means of his own execution (5) The Death on the Cross • A real death; giving all he has; “empties himself”

  10. Christian Doctrine 1 / Dr. Billings David: “Father” of Jesus? Give three points on how Jesus linked is to David. • David is seen in NT as a hero: • 59 referencesin NT; model leader of Israel. • Jesus often called “Son of David”: • 16+ timesand seen as his descendant (Mt 1, e.g.) • Jesus is referred to as king: • Jesus is crucified as “King of Israel”: surprising way in which his reign breaks into our world.

  11. Christian Doctrine 1 / Dr. Billings The journey to kingship Give a detailed outline of the historical stages leading from the period of the exodus form Egypt to the period of the kings • The period in the wilderness (40 years): After the exodus was the period in the wilderness: Moses leads the people, is given the 10 commandments. • The period of the conquest: Moses does lead them into the promised land, but only to the border: Joshua leads the people in, beginning the period of the conquest. • The period of the settlement: Once the conquest is successful, the people of Israel begin to settle in the land. • The period of the judges: Their leadership from the time of Moses is by “judges” (such as Samson, Gideon, Deborah and others)

  12. Christian Doctrine 1 / Dr. Billings The Period of the Judges Who were the “judges” and when did they rule Israel? Give two examples. As the people of Israel settled in the promised land, they were led by “judges”: this was prior to period of kings: • “judges” were “charismatic” leaders moved by Lord(moved by spirit, not by predetermined law or heredity) • there was no established hereditary hierarchy of monarchs • The Bible depicts is as more directly dependent on the Lord’s assistance. Example 1: Gideon as judge (Judges 6:33-40) – he summons tribes as allies to council; awaits Lord’s word before proceeding Example 2: the story of ark and Dagon (1 Samuel 5): - the power is the LORD’S; Israel must rely only on Him. “Dagon”, god of the Philistines, is no match

  13. Christian Doctrine 1 / Dr. Billings Representation of the Ark

  14. Christian Doctrine 1 / Dr. Billings Better not to have a king? According to Samuel, why does God prefer that Israel not choose a king? (see 1 Samuel 8) • They should not be like other nations • (they shouldn’t want that) • They should consider the Lord himself as their king • (they tend to forget about that) • They will endure a long list of abuses and problems from kings, as given by Samuel • (They don’t seem to realize or care about that) • Send your sons to his wars; • Take over your fields for himself; • Use you daughters for his purposes; • Take your servants, cattle; • Make you slaves!

  15. Christian Doctrine 1 / Dr. Billings United and Divided Kingdom Brief fact sheet on history of kingdom of Israel until the Babylonian exile. (fill in the blanks - underlined) • Who were the first three kings of a united Israel? • Saul, David and Solomon • Ishbosheth, son of Saul, a brief rival to David • How long did the united kingdom last? • Only about 100 years (1020-922 BCE) • What was the northern kingdom called? (Israel) How long did it last? (about 300 years) • What was the southern kingdom called? (Judah), What was it’s capital? (Jerusalem) How long did it last? (about 450 years). • When and by whom were the two kingdoms conquered? • Israel (north) conquered in 722 BC (Assyrians) • Judah (south) conquered and exiled in 587 BC (Babylonians)
