The Teaching of Saint Gregory Essay -- Christology, God, Creation

A. The Teaching of Saint Gregory contains many theologically concepts as deity and Creation, Christology, human being Sin and salvation, eschatology and resurrection. owe to the limited space, I will only explore some key elements which I think are worthy to be discussed.First, Gregory depicts the divinity fudges attri onlyes it begins with the trust of Trinity- God created the world and humankind, the Son saved humankind and the Spirit sustained the world (259, 263, 362). There is no one before God and there is no creator (259). God is incomprehensible and almighty (259, 366). God created two kinds of creatures visible (the creatures in the world) and invisible (angels, include the evil Follower behind) (262, 278). Second, man was created in Gods imagewhich gave man rational mind and independent will so that man will be aware of God. (273), praise God (261) and live in a good life with God. (Enochs life 294).Third, in Christology, Gregory emphasizes the incar body politic of t he Son is not a sudden idea, not a phantom (402) but an eternal redemption plan of God. All the prophecies was foreshadowing Christ (342) and concerning Christ (377). Gregory skims the life and teaching of Jesus but emphasizes much in Christs death and resurrection.

With the promise of Gods spirit dwelling in the believers, Gregory further insists the Martyrs live and intercede for men (596-597) which ... ...however, find a light to solve the problem of illiteracy. Armenians is the only nation who maintains Christianity as the national religion to recent decades. Reasons for success are many, like a distinct geography, recur red prosecutions, and the martyrs linked with national pride could be the dominant factors but also, the book of Teaching of St. Gregory is definitely a significant reason to keep the Armenians faith in the long history. Its non-difficult, comprehensive, systematic way explaining Gods demand, humans sin & responsibility, Gods protection with whom in prosecution provide reason, strength and faith for Armenians to live their lives faithfully. Another important thing the church can do is to adopt new technology, A-V computerized aids to polish the traditions of Christian faith and provide a fresh expression of Christianity to our neighbours.
