Comparison And The Bible

Decent Essays
Comparison is such an easy thing to do. And the Bible warns against it! 2 Cor 10:12 We ask the questions in our mind...

~ why can’t he be like that husband
~ why can’t we have passion like them
~ our lives are boring , I wish we were like that
~ I wish I looked like that or he looked like him �

And the list goes on , if your married to a steady , your inclined to wish for adventure. When your married to a command you wish for more tender moments and when your married to a visionary you just wanna settle down for a minute . As women we constantly catch our self comparing! Our physical image, our children and even our husbands. This is dangerous!! This kind of stinking thinking will never help your marriage.

    In this passage, Martin Luther explains that there is “a twofold knowledge of God, general and particular.” General knowledge of God means knowing that God exists and that type of knowledge is accessible to everyone. On the other hand, particular knowledge means knowing what the God’s will is for you and that is accessible to Christians only. According to Luther, the only way to particular knowledge is the Bible. Similarly, Felker-Jones refers to these two types of knowledge as general and special revelation.…

Both The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Bible contain the theme that human beings are at the mercy of the gods.…

    The Bible, for instance, condemns homosexual intercourse for the same reason it condemns masturbation: because life-bearing seed is spilled in the act. While this ethic was largely taught, maintained, and enforced by the Catholic Church and later Christian offshoots, it’s important to note that the ethic comes not primarily from Jewish or Christian Scriptures, but from Stoicism…

    I took this course in the hopes of clearing up my confusion regarding what I consider to be one of the major contradictions in the Bible, God’s view on homosexuals. I have always struggled with the idea that God loves us all but that He considers some of His creation to be an “abomination,” for being born a certain way. And I am glad to report that I feel that my questions were answered during the week that we learned about the different methods of reading the Bible. Now, through a historical-critical perspective, I no longer believe that God condemns those in the LGBT community. Instead, I believe that I was ignorant to the true meaning of the words in the Bible all the years that I interpreted it from a literal point of view.…

    For many decades, psychology and Christianity have been viewed as two fields that are mutually exclusive. Through the perpetual changes that both have gone through from pre-modernity, modernity, and post-modern thinking, researchers and theologians are working to find an appropriate and functional synthesis to bring the two together. Integration can be very difficult because psychology and Christianity have different worldviews. The goal of psychology is to fully understand the human mind, whereas Scripture teaches that humans cannot fully understand themselves. Psychology as a science has been said to have a dehumanizing effect as it encourages people to be normal and well-adjusted.…
