If there were only one word, which I could use to describe myself, it would be determined. I cannot take all the credit for this, as I hail from a long line of stubborn and resolute kinfolk. Most notably, my grandmother who raised me on stories of our descendancy from the ancient Celtic Kings of Irish mythology.

burnished to give a smoother and shinier look. The manuscripts are also made of vellum, which is thinned out calfskin that they wrote in the manuscripts. The page, such as the picture I linked, showed scene after scene through drawings.

I enjoyed the drawings once again present throughout the illuminated manuscript. The thought that comic strips of sorts were…

One individual commented on a website called gracethrufaith.com, by Jack Kelly, saying, “Can you explain what pre-tribulation, pre-millennial, OSAS, and literal reading is and why I should care? I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God – He is my Lord and Savior – the only way to salvation (John 14:6).” Sure it is the primary concern of the Christian faith to believe Jesus is the Son of God, but it is also important to know the facts about the Bible so that you can be better prepared to…

Patriarchy, by definition, is the idea in which men hold a status of power among all and this power is continually passed down through paternal lineage. However, the term “patriarchy” is very loose and often changes regarding the situation at hand.

since between 700 and 735 AD, when a monk by the name of Venerable Bede claimed the creation of the world was in 3952 BC. Many other people have placed the creation in the time frame of 3961 through 4004 BC. The Young Earth creationism view will show Biblical support, along with evidence dating and theologian James Ussher’s important key points.

wrote this letter in an attempt to clarify the true writings that defined the true message to the Christians of his period. Other Christian schools and sects followed different ideas of what the teachings of Christ meant. Athanasius’ list defining biblical canon did not appear suddenly.

Essay: Interpretation of Text – Week Four Divine Presence Amid Violence Lynn Wilson Reading the Bible, especially the Old Testament, is very challenging due to stories that are deeply enmeshed in violence. This violence completely contradicts my modern day interpretation of the compassionate Christ that I learned about while singing, Jesus, Loves Me. The Hebrew Bible presents some extremely violent text and when taken out of context it becomes difficult to find a connection between the…
