The Bible gives many accounts of God telling people how they are to act. God says that people are to be kind and soft natured and loving. The reality is, animal testing foes directly against the claims in the Bible. When the earth was created, God put Adam in the garden and told him to be in charge of everything, this included the animals (Genesis 2:15, English Standard Version). God did not place man in charge of creation to destroy it, He put man in charge to care for it and help it prosper.…

The suicide of Samson in the Old Testament is one of the most well known cases of suicide in the Bible. Upon discovering the source of his strength, the Philistines were able to imprison Samson and pluck out his eyes. Samson plans on enacting revenge against the Philistines by toppling the pillars of the Philistine’s temple, an act that would kill the Philistines and Samson. Samson still weak from his imprisonment asks for the Lord’s assistance to regain his strength. The Lord grants Samson his…

Women in the Bible are respected, cherished, and honored. Within the American culture, however, women are most predominantly not shown dignified treatment. The undignified treatment shown to women is seen most clearly through the lens of popular media (i.e. magazines, television, social media, etc.). In America “too often, the media practices symbolic annihilation” (Stillman 52) where both the behavioral aspects and outward perception of Biblical womanhood are condemned by the media. Magazines…

bibliographies are written to tell the story of someone’s life; bibles are written to remind followers of who they are. Bibles portray several different ideas about religion such as who is God or Jesus, who are the Jewish or Christian people, to describe the relationship between God and his people, and how the world may end. A follower needs to understand all aspects. In the novel How to Read the Bible, readers can learn about the correct way to read the Bible, which is to recognize what type of…

Bible Views “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Tim 3:16-17, New International Version). There are no Heavens and Earth without God. God is the creator of every living thing on Earth. Throughout the Bible God states how good everything he created is.

the biblical book essay I chose to write about the Book of Matthew in the New Testament. The Book of Matthew is known as a narrative genre with Matthew, one of the twelve apostles, an evangelist being known as the author of the first Gospel of the Bible in the New Testament. He was also known as “Levi, son of Alphaeus” (Luke 5:27). The book was written in begins as a genealogy of Jesus life starting with Abraham (Mt 1:1-17 NIV) to Jesus resurrection in (Mt 28:1-17 NIV). These writings were…

Homosexuality and the Bible There is no doubt that the bible is possibly one of the most influential pieces of writing recorded in history. It has impacted Christians and shaped their views and core beliefs ever since its’ beginning. Christians pride themselves in being truly “good and accepting” people, which is supposed to be the word that Jesus brought to his followers. However, an argument can be made that there are some aspects of the bible that are anything but loving or accepting; or are…

Peeps, Today's Quote "It is important to talk about the stories that matter in your life so that your children's children may benefit from wisdom, with the limited amount of time we have left on this earth." ! Jon Barnes Of Old I now see why Bible stories, studies, prayer, and service is so important to learn and share, because they are needed in our daily lives thinking, working, negotiating, and practicing good deeds in our lives. Stop blaming the churches for your personal failure and…

This module did more to reaffirm my belief in God and God’s word, the Bible. Approximately seven years ago, my beliefs were not as strong as they are as of today. While growing up, my mother would take my brother and me to church every Sunday and we would attend Wednesday night services as well. Although, I was raised in a two parent home, my father did not attend church with us. This was mostly because he worked on Sundays. As a child, I grew up thinking as long as one attended church…

Feminism’s hidden identity in the Bible is a strong point to be made as a result of those who lead, ruled, and respected women as an important and equal aspect of society. Despite its reputation for being patriarchal, the Bible contains powerful portrayals of women. Jesus himself treated women with respect. It is argued that because of Eve being created from Adam, women were destined to be lesser, always depending on men. Yet there are a multitude of stories in the bible that do not treat women…
