Theology

Theology and pedagogy have always been akin. Philosophers like Socrates were men of 'faith'. He was, executed by drinking Hemlock, because he was indoctrinating the youths against the systems of his day.
The philosophers of ancient Greece proposed to solve the problems of the origin, nature, and destiny of man and the natural world by the rational processes, and were thus of a quasi-religious character2. However the other side of the story claims that he was killed by the members of his religious order because he revealed some of the insider information pertaining to some secret doctrine. This would mean that as a teacher Socrates taught from his theological point of view. This theological point of view was adopted by Plato his faithful student. Plato further integrated his educational-pedagogical paradigms to another of his student a man known as Aristotle. With reason becoming the main pedagogical exercise.

Faith and knowledge  may appear to be two distinctly different disciplines but an the contrary they are not. This research is base on the integration of faith and learning, basing its ideas in the fact that education is usually devoid of a Christian morality. Hence the research will make use of literature that will show the “how” and the “why” Christ should be included in the classroom. This being highlighted by a symbiosis of faith and knowledge.

This journey to Rome has typological implications to the Seventh Day Adventist church today. The history of the Millerite movement and the power that attended their preaching made the gospel of the three angels profound. They left all and the reality of heaven was ‘tangible’ to them. His journey had a signature of disaster. The Spirit of God spoke against the journey. At Caesarea Paul stayed with the family of Philip and his four daughters. They probably also admonished Paul not to go to Jerusalem.
God sent another individual called Agabus who was a prophet as well.

Paul’s theology of the anti Christ as is elucidated in the book of Acts deserves to be studied. The language and the use of the language warrants our study. The reformers had a different view of whom
the anti Christ is. The counter reformers presented a casuistic and a philosophical view. The protestant-evangelical world of the embraced dispensetionalism theology. Hence it has been a topic of hot debate
among the theologians, what Paul really meant and what is the correct way of identifying the man of sin. Schaff writes that Thessoloniki “...was visited by Paul on his second missionary tour, a.d. 52 or 53, and in a few weeks he succeeded, amid much persecution, in founding a flourishing church composed chiefly of Gentiles”.

The science of saving souls is the science that Jesus had a speciality in. Christ developed this art pre-incanation. Man was his primary target. This science was not an after thought but it was prepared before the laying of the foundations of the world. The bible teaches us that when God
created the heavens and the earth, Christ the lamb of God was slain from the foundations of the world, Rev 13:8... Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Man fell into sin as a result of the rebelion in heaven. An angel decided to question God's authority and as a consequence, God had to deal with the issue, without lose to His integrity and at the sametime erradicating sin, leaving those observing this conflict satisfied that He was fair and just.

Seventh-Day Adventists have been set in this world to be the bearers of Divine truth. They are the only ones in this planet that have been granted the privilege of being God’s depository. The truth should therefore be preached to every creature and all people should become part of the remnant church in spite of the Seventh-Day Adventists. The seventh day adventist movement was prophesied that one day it will come. The movement was established within the period of the 2300 day prophecy of Daniel 8:14. It is very interesting when one considers the context of the verse. In Daniel 8 there is a prophecy of the ram and the goat. This prophecy culminates with the rise of Anti Christ power whom Daniel
referred to as the little horn. One of the characteristics of the little horn power is it’s persecutive abilities (which would later be copied by the beast out of the sea in revelation 13:11-18). This persecutive attitude became a point of controversy among the angelic hosts that were guiding Daniel.

Our world is a theatre, the whole of the angelic hosts are looking with deep interest to see how the great conflict between good forces and evil forces will end. The players in this theatrical game are suppossed to be equipped with the necessary tools to be able to participate in the great struggle. The Bible and Biblical History is full of examples on how some men and women have played the game. It gives examples of men who have changed sides, some to join the players from heaven and some
who left and joined the “counter reformers”. Yet God's team has never suffered want of men to proclaim the truth that saves.

Archaeology is the study of ancient artefacts, “excavated, deciphered and critically evaluate...” Barbara (2006) identified archaeology among the anthropological and sociological activities of antiquity. Archaeology is multi-disciplined study drawing from history, linguistics and palaeontology
among others. Greene (2010) has shown how archaeology has the ability to identify how the “development of...cultures”3 came about. Special to this fact is that prehistoric societies were non-literary societies and their “material culture” is preserved and revealed by the science of archaeology. Hence biblical archaeology becomes that study of ancient remains within the scope of biblical historiography. Biblical archaeology has a threefold purpose and value for students of the Bible. It provides contemporary illustrations of customs and practices mentioned in the Bible and clarifies obscure statements. It furnishes much supplementary material, especially to the historical portions. It corroborates the accuracy of the Bible record.

Synchronic analysis of language is defined as a view that language study is related to a particular time period. Upon studying language at this period, genre plays a significant role in determination of linguistic variants. Synchronic study of language is analysis of language elements contemporaneous to the reader. There is an emphasis on particularly three fold approach to the synchrony, and that is the reader, the author and the text.
