HTH201 Existence of God Nicene Creed Jesus Questions

In 2,000-2,200 words, defend the Nicene Creed’s claim that Jesus is equal with the Father using biblical theology. Include the following:

1. Briefly describe two major arguments for the existence of God.
2. Where in the Old Testament theology are creation and forgiveness of sin activities exclusively reserved for God?
3. Explain key New Testament texts that associate Jesus with creation and forgiveness, thereby identifying him with the Father.
4. Using a proper theological methodology, explain the Nicene Creed’s identification of the Son with the Father as “homoousios,” of the same being, also, showing that the Spirit is “homoousios” with the Father as well.

Use at least two biblical commentaries, one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament, to help validate your exegesis.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
