Bible

out of my Jesus and my bible. I find your rhetoric when it comes to my religion to be highly offensive! I have kept silent all semester, and every time you would bring up the subject about the bible or use the Lord's name in vain, I would make me cringe and anxious. I wanted so badly to say something to you but instead, I turned the other cheek and prayed for you and the rest of the class. The funny thing is, I am sick and tired of hearing people dragging my Jesus and my bible through the mud,…

The Bible cases to be supernaturally motivated (2 Timothy 3:16– 17), and since God can't lie, we expect all of His verifiable cases to be valid. Dissimilar to myths, the Bible precisely records minute insights about ancient cultures, and it unreservedly recognizes the deficiencies of its "legends." Such genuineness and tender loving care is…

hard for in an instant. Many of these qualities are displayed through the characters of the Bible. Whether it’s kings that have insecure weakness or peasants that have incredible strengths that allow them to rise above those kings. The Bible is filled with great examples of the greatest weaknesses and strengths of mankind. One of the most significant weaknesses of mankind portrayed throughout the Bible is disobedience. In one instance, Adam and Eve, the very first humans, were told they…

The Bible. The foundation for Christianity, the most sold book in history. It is sacred among nations and glorified by people. Kids are taught by their parents from the day they are born about Bible stories and morals. Why in the world would anyone question its legitimacy? Well, I’m here to answer that question. From someone who was taught the Bible and raised in a church, I would like to examine the flaws in the book and explain my belief of why the Bible is no more than a fictitious book…

words used in the Bible. At the very beginning of Genesis one, we read these words “In the beginning”. In the beginning is the term used to describe the moment when God inaugurated the start of everything. It was the moment time began. Ancient Hebrews used the word beginning to describe their term first fruits. Creation is God’s gift to Himself. Have you stopped to consider that when God created the earth that was the absolute beginning; if the term beginning is used in the Bible then isn’t it…

Holy Bible depicts many different symbolic meanings. Amongst the various interpretations of the Bible, the numerology within the book holds high significance. Many numbers are repeated throughout the bible and each of them are strategically placed. Numbers are so frequent in scripture that you can find a number in about one in five spiritual verses (Biblestudy.org). The numbers one, three, six, seven, twelve, and forty, are some of the most symbolic in the Old Testament. When reading the Bible,…

Although many people believe the bible is corrupted and full of contradictions, to Christians the “contradictions” are different ways of describing the same object. The bible is a very reliable source and once the verses are broken down and looked further into the “contradictions” will not seem so contradictory anymore. The first contradiction comes from the verses of Mark 14:30 and Matthew 26:34. The problem is how many times did the rooster crow and what did Jesus really say? The answer to…

Temple. This return was approved by Cyrus, who was the king of Persia at the time. Under the imperial rule of Persia and permitted by the edict to return to their land, the exiles were able to eventually implement the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Law of Moses, as an authoritative tool in both public and personal life. The idea of the Law being used as a figure of authority can be seen in Chapter Nine; throughout the chapter, the author is exceedingly distressed,…

In the Book of Genesis, the author introduces the importance of light and its role in God’s creation.This serves as a guide for the readers and also as a guide to further understanding light throughout other passages in the Bible. By looking at the emphasis on the separation between light and dark with the verb “separate”, we see that light always involves the removal of darkness and introduces the idea that no darkness can come in comparison to God’s light. This is important because throughout…

Bible codes are words hidden inside other words, to reveal a greater statement. These codes can range anywhere from a single word or phrase that relates to the work as a whole. The words that are revealed by codes are not random words, but rather ones that relate directly to either that section of text or the entire work. For example, in Genesis, Exodus, Numbers and Deuteronomy every fiftieth letter spells out “Torah” or the law (Bibleprobe, 2014). These codes are found by following an…
