1. This is the first course I studied with a purpose to learn more about the Bible, than considering GPA marks or covering each chapter quickly, but rather, I was able to sit and give my full attention to absorb the meanings of what I was reading.
2. I was able to spend more time reading the Bible because for each Module there was recommended readings from the Bible. Before taking this course I haven’t really tried to find time to read the Bible but now I can really feel the power of the Holy Spirit after I read the scripture.
3. After studying this course I came to know about the historical information’s about the writers, the location and events took place while they wrote the scripture. Also, how Bible evolved from time to time into an authoritative …show more content…
The Sumney textbook is a great resource to learn the interpretation of each book in the Bible and I will keep that with me for the future references and as a tool to guide me while I read the Bible.
5. Most importantly from each chapter I got the understanding, that God was faithful to his people even if they turned into wickedness, but when the people repented God always blessed them.
6. This course gave me the idea that there are additional books like Apocrypha exists in the Bible. For instance, Catholic Old testament contain seven extra books in the Old Testament.
7. Most of the blessings of Israelites were shunted away because they worshipped more than one God, that means whatever we considered above God or give more attention/priority in our life than God, then it will be considered as worshipping other things. Therefore, I want to prioritize God above all in my life to be called as a child of God.
8. Through each Module scenario I got the feeling that how easily I can apply some of the Bible stories or verses into my own life. For instance, applying different types of Psalms into the modern songs.

By listening to the song I found it as giving thanks to God for making Woman so beautiful and wonderful out of a hundred pounds of clay. However, if I compare the song to the truth of the Bible, God said, “Let us make man in our image”, therefore God created man and women in his own image. The song does emphasize that God made the woman out of a hundred pounds of clay, that shows how amazingly God created man from the dust of the ground. The song conveys a great message that how marvelously God created humans with the simple substance like clay.
The second song I have chosen is “I dreamed a dream”, the song portrays a tragedy happened in a girl’s life and how she killed the dream she dreamed. In the second stanza of the song it says, “I dreamed that God would be forgiving”, obvious from most of the stories I read in the Bible portrays God as a forgiving and compassionate God. If I take the story of the Israelites, we could clearly see that there were many times Israelites were stubborn and rebellious to God by worshipping other Gods, even they experienced a lot of miracles in their life by the God. But still God shown compassion and forgiveness to them by providing their needs and eventually entered the promised
