My Pentecostal Experience For new church experience, I went to a Pentecostal church. The Pentecost has always been something that I heard of, but never experience it for myself. I decided to go to experience it for myself and because I had a friend who invited me to go with him to his church. His name is Kyle. The experience was something that was different and I’m glad I experience it, because it help me to grow stronger in my faith. I attended a Pentecostal church in Katy, Texas. The…

sentence would be like “Am I my brother’s master?” Because Cain said this, God told Cain that he knew Cain killed Abel and punished him to a land far away. In today’s world, we clearly didn’t know what it means to be a brother’s keeper since the bible did not record it. But we all know that it doesn’t mean to be what Cain would have thought. Of course, we don’t treat our brothers…

Two religions, Islam and Christianity, were both founded by Abraham and his sons. Even with the same family founding them they have very diverse similarities and differences. Within both passages found in the Koran, Sura 93, and the Bible, Psalms 23, similar points are expressed. Although they describe a similar praise to their God, dictions and phrases from Sura 93 expressed through rhetorical questions change the passage into something with an accusable tone. Each passage shows a similar…

salvation just to say that they’ve been absolved from doing something bad, however, do not really follow or understand the whole concept of the Gospel or salvation. I have seen examples of this in youth groups in the churches that I have attended. Students would come in, stay for the hour and a half and act like a good Christian, but once at home or school they act completely different and do not represent the Gospel very well. These kids come just to feel good about a bad past or bad decision…

Elijah was known for being a prophet. “His example of trusting in God’s word is the best one we can find in the Old Testament prophets.” Elijah confronted Ahab two times, once when devaluing God granting inheritance of the land and the second is the murder of Naboth. Elijah confronted Baal and his rule, because people believed that Baal could control the rains. “ Yet the rains were a gift of Yahweh, not Baal; Yahweh decided when it would rain. Baal’s followers thought him dead when drought…

During the Reformation, people were taught they could buy their way out of sins with things called indulgences. Indulgences were grants given by the pope to forgive sins. They could forgive sins you have comminted or sins of your living or dead realtives. People back then really believed it; they thought they could but their way into salvation. As Luther puts it, Christians should be exhorted to be diligent in following Christ, their Head, through penalties, death and hell./And thus be confident…

woman’s weaker nature was inherent in their very being; this inferiority was deepened by Eve’s actions and God’s words in the Garden of Eden.” These scholars believed a division in status and superiority exist within the content of the scripture. Bible Passages that argue against the Old Testament being misogynistic While there are those who argue the Old Testament as being misogynistic, there are also those in the other side of the spectrum who argue against. However, “despite the fact that a…

Jim Casy highlights how maintaining vestiges of religion and dignity shows the value such faith can have in keeping people going. Casy expresses how he wishes to help others who face the Westward movement. He wishes to "preach again. Folks out lonely on the road, folks with no lan', no home to go to. They got to have some kind of home" (6.108). Casy believes that travelers can find “home” in his preaching. Steinbeck vocalizes the importance of God…

and came to me with anger. He wanted to kill me with sward and he thought that it was easy to kill me. What an arrogant man! His power could not against with Death, because no one could escape, no matter who. The prince was failed to kill me. His movements made me angry and I let him die first to be a example. After he died, the rest people wanted to see my face. When they took off my mask, there is no face and also no body in the suit. I was everywhere, did not need a form to exist. They all…
