I 've never understood why people ask what a verse means to me. God does not set out to confuse us, and if the all knowing God wanted to confuse us there would certainly be more efficient ways than to write his sacred book in code. The Bible, then is intentionally written in a way that is understandable to those who know, and seek to know, the God who wrote it. It seems to me that we get so caught up in figuring out our own subjective view on what a given section of scripture says that we all…

family always said which was “bless mommy and daddy, and everyone in the whole wide world. Amen.” Saying these prayers and going to church every Sunday became routine to me. As I got older I realized that my family strongly supported not only the Holy Bible, but the Baptist church’s morals and beliefs. I would definitely consider the church my family’s plausibility structure because…

of Methodist Congregations” it talks about how the Bible Society of Rowan County decided to take action to establish a committee to print and distribute Bibles all across the South during the Civil War. On June 23, 1861 a circular, which is an advertisement, or letter that is distributed to a large number of people was sent to the pastors of the churches in Rowan Country. This letter was to be read to the congregation about establishing a Bible Society. The board originated from the seizure of…

converting to christianity was compelling and it did have me questioning my own faith, but it does not go about that fact I still believing in what I see. I have not seen or heard God. The bible might be true to the sense that Lewis talks about when he converted to Christianity but cannot fully accept the bible until I receive some kind of sign that God exists. This might be a result of my parents not taking me to church when I am younger or put me in religious school but it does not matter I…

Religious Rituals are common place in the Old Testament. The book of Leviticus is filled with rules and rituals that the people of Israel had to follow. The Bible says is Hosea 4:6, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. The lack of knowledge…

others. That was the very start of the revolutionary civil rights movement in America. The start of resistance to wrongful segregation of white and black and hurtful discrimination. The start of Martin Luther King’s search for non-violent freedom. In the year 1955, after hearing that Rosa Parks had been arrested, King called for a church meeting and gathered people who only had one motive- fight back; fight…

The Divine Embodiment and the Physical Presence of God I. INTRODUCTION. In Old Testament Biblical accounts, God makes Himself known by His actual presence. This presence is exhibited in a myriad of ways. His manifestation, materialization or appearance in a tangible manner to the human senses is called a theophany. For example, when the Hebrews escaped from Egypt, God was with them. The average Hebrew of the exodus knew that God was present among them as there was a “pillar of a cloud” by day…

“The Bible belongs to the whole world as does no other book. Written originally in Hebrew and Greek more than eighteen centuries ago, it is now available, in whole or in part, in more than a thousand languages. It is the best seller since best sellers were first recognized (McKnight, 11).” The Holy Bible remains to be the most important source for knowledge in the Christian faith today. “The Central message of the Bible is God’s revelation of himself and His will. It is not difficult to discover…

assignment does go against my beliefs in what the Word of God says and what God commands us to do. The problem with creating a horror story about the end of times with a superhero and villain is I would have to add things to the original story and the Bible tells us not to add or take away from God’s commands (Deuteronomy 4:2, 12:32, John 14:15). In order to live right and follow God’s path, we cannot pick and choose the rules we want to follow and not follow. We have to follow ALL in order to…
