This mission to the gentiles as a “shoot” sprouting out of the tree stump, once cut down and predestined to arise in Isaiah 49:6. It reads, “Is it not enough that you are merely my servant to raise up the tribes of Ya’akov and restore the offspring of Israel; I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation made preach to the end of the earth.”1 This scripture has many implications for which it states, and one will see not only the complexity but also, the depth of nature in which the Lord attended to the needs of all mankind for those who are willing. …show more content…
Of course, it has gone through various ups and downs pertaining to the position of maturity and growth. Whether it be from a pre-millennial theology or a dispositional ideological perspective, the second branch was established. In the process of doing so, the support for the Jewish people became important and well understood for God’s divine purposes eschatologically. There was a deep sense of Spiritual responsibility that emerged from the ins and outs of it’s maturing developmental stages.

    Mark Oppenheimer, in his thought-provoking op-ed piece titled, “Reclaiming Jew” surfaces a societal problem. Jews do not feel comfortable introducing themselves as a noun. Instead of “I am a Muslim” or “I am a Christian,” secular Jews say “I am Jewish.” It is as if using the noun is too solid and prideful, whereas the adjective feels slippery and insecure. An adjective can simply describe an aspect about something, but the noun is.…

    servant in Isaiah 53. God’s promise of many children of Zion is fulfilled through the vicarious suffering of the servant to whom the offspring was given. Paul seems to acknowledge the larger theological context of Isaiah 49-54 and applies its theological pattern to his argument with Judaizers. The nuance of Paul’s argument is not the competition of the number of children between the two women but; rather, the birth origin of the two different children: from the present Jerusalem (Hagar, Ishmael, the son of slavery, Sinai) and from the heavenly Jerusalem (Sarah, Isaac, the son of freedom, Zion). Paul identifies Christian believers with the children of Zion (the heavenly Jerusalem) who are justified and redeemed by Christ, who offered up his life in substitutionary death for us (cf.…

    Christianity versus Judaism: A battle over Religious values In Benedict Anderson’s Imagined Communities, he talks about how these groups of people tend to “think of themselves as living lives parallel to those of other substantial groups of people” (Anderson, 188). One significantly different value that differs from Paul’s “First letter to the Corinthians” and the Koran is the way that women are represented in each religion and how different each one viewed divorce. For instance, the way that Paul refers to women, it seems as though women them hardly played an active role in the everyday lives of the Corinthians, that they only saw women as merely a way to better sever the needs of men. Paul states “For a man is not from woman, but…

But that 's hard to achieve when most students don 't have a full set knowledge of the principles of that religion save for what they may hear once or twice every week or so. Not only that, but they lack knowing just exactly how it is true that all religions are connected in some significant way. For instance, the three most influential religions in our world today, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are connected in more ways than most parents or teachers give the student credit for knowing. One of the things that connect them all is that they are all sometimes referred to as…
