Hebrews And Epistles Analysis

Superior Essays
The Hebrews and Epistles is one of the basic foundations for Christian living outside the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The letters and books relate to Christian behavior, character, relationship with the Lord and how to overcome the world. The information provided in the Book of Hebrews in Chapter 1 and 2 gives us deep revelation of the sovereignty of God. The meaning of the position of the Son of God in relation to angels, assures us that Jesus as Son of God is relevant. God’s plan for salvation for Humanity was embedded in the Son of God for Eternal life. We can truly relate to the Scripture in Hebrews 2:3 “how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation”. However, the book of Hebrews is still being debated about its author of the letter …show more content…
Needless to say, the book has a Hebrew root and tradition tied to its Scriptures. The discussion from the Levitical Priesthood to Melchizedek, gave great insight of Jesus authority as High Priest. We should have a clear understanding of Jesus being the High Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:17). There aren’t any other New Testament books mention this subject of Jesus Priesthood, this is vital for our Christian walk. It helps us know our true identity and give us a solid rock witness that we are saved and forgiven by Jesus Christ. Meanwhile, Hebrews 7 helps us understand a better way of tithing. After studying the Scriptures of Hebrew, we have a better reason why tithing is important; it should not be done by law; but out of love. The other Epistles such as James, Peters and Jude help us understand our role in society as believers. The book of James exclusively dissect the term “faith without work is dead” (James 2:14). We learned with faith, action is required along with your belief. One cannot say to another brother or sister, be blessed or take comfort; without offering the individual some kind of assistance. The word alone cannot cover someone who is naked nor feed a person who is hungry. We are charge by god to care for the needy along with your faith in God. As the James says, even demons believe there is a God, so believing God alone …show more content…
Submitting to our master makes heroes or good Christian folks? Could it be that these scriptures were manipulated by men to push forth a hidden agenda to control the masses and rule the people? The Holy Spirit did not bear witness to me personally, is this “The Truth”? Submitting under authority doesn’t mean that you are not contest the authority wrong doing. Therefore, if this be the case, the children of Israel should have stayed in Egypt for another 400 years until they were tired and ready to wake

    Anti-Semitism in the Gospel of John Many people today discredit the validity of the Gospel of John because it includes content that may be interpreted as anti-Jewish.

Exploration of the historical background of this time will be analyzed to determine the derivation of anti-Semitism within this gospel based on the Gospel of John’s negative representation of the Jews and their traditions.…

    Hebrews, James, and 1 Peter are the first three of eight general epistles found near the end of the New Testament. All three letters were written by different authors: Hebrews probably by the apostle Paul, James by James the eldest brother of Jesus, and 1 Peter by the apostle Peter. These three letters also had different recipients. It is assumed that Hebrews was written to primarily Jewish Christians who had been scattered across the known world and likewise with the book of James, but 1 Peter appears to be written to both Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians scattered in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. Despite having different authors and different readers, all three letters have a similar purpose and theme: they were writing to encourage Christians who were…

    Before deciding to attend CTS, my primary goal was to first learn the Bible, become a minister and teach the Bible to others. I marvel at clergy that quote scriptures from their mouths without looking first hand and anticipate the day when I can do the same. The Bible contains answers to everyday issues (the good, the bad and the ugly) and helps us to learn about theology and ourselves. For this reason, I stand more excited about taking this class as opposed to many of my other classes. By learning the Bible my life would be enhanced and guided in the direction initially intended by the Lord.…

    MRS 325: The relationship between the Gospel of Luke and Acts The Gospel According to Luke as well as the Acts of the Apostles collectively make up 27 percent of the information of the whole New Testament. These two works were authored by Luke, a Gentile believer (Colossians 4:10-14). Seeing that he just authored these two books, which his writings constitute over one fourth of the New Testament writings (making Luke the greatest possible author), the study of the content and message is quite important to us. (Dulle, n.d.) Acts and that Luke are companion books might be seen in many ways.…
