Books of the Bible

The Singer tells the story of the “Singer” , an allusion to Jesus, who is proclaimed the “Troubadour” (Messiah) by the Earthmaker (God). Throughout the story, the Singer proclaims the Star Song, the Word of God, and is in constant conflict with the World Hater (Devil). The Singer shares several similarities with the Gospel of Mark: Mark’s portrait of Jesus is “The Suffering Servant” as shown through 8:31, 9:31& 9:12 where Jesus states that the Son of Man will suffer by man. The story portrays…

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”, Hebrews 11:1. What is an act of faith? According to Encarta Dictionaries, an act of faith is “an action motivated by a belief in something for which there is no concrete evidence.” You can express acts of faith in your everyday life. A faith that cannot be tested cannot be trusted. Although I am not a Christian, I could most definitely connect to the Christian faith and the way that they express it. Unlike many…

consists the word of hell. In order to build a case for traditionalism, the believer needs to identify the various purposes and description of hell. The following is the foundation that describes eternal punishment on the basis of the Bible with Scriptures. The Bible uses several terms to warn people to encourage them to change and accept Jesus as their Savior before it is too late. The core of traditionalism view is made up of “four components…

FIGURES OF SPEECH IN THE BIBLE (Adapted from McCune) “Generally an expression is figurative when it is out of character with the subject discussed, or is contrary to fact, experience, or observation” (Roy Zuck, Basic Bible Interpretation, p. 145). Matt 19:25 Camel through the eye of a needle (it’s impossible – not explained by a gate in the wall) 1.

well-known female painter of the Baroque period. Although she gained acclaim as a painter, few women of her time had the opportunity to become an artist, a privilege afforded to her in part because her father owned a studio and painted, as well. In the Bible, Holofernes, an Assyrian bully and enemy to Israel, slaughtered his way into the city of Bethulia, a town at the entrance to Israel and Judith’s home. She seduces her way into Holofernes’s bed, gets him drunk, and beheaded him with the…

Sidra Zimmerman Ministry Project

 The People and the Situation As was first mentioned in my ministry group project proposal, the group I chose was my own small group. When the project first started, it consisted of roughly 10 men and women, most members of my Southern Baptist church who meet weekly to suss through the week’s sermon together. Interestingly enough, most of us had been raised in some semblance of a Christian home, though our experience within that “Christian” community varied.…

As I read the book of Romans strange things started happening to me. The day before class I set out to look for the new Iphone. On my trip out I came across a girl that I’ve never met before and she had a special message for my husband she told me to tell him “ They don’t blame him for Baileys death and they want him to come around and want to meet his family and his kids.” This girl happened to be the younger sister of one of his best friends Bailey…. Before Devin turned 21 he and Bailey were…

Corinthians is dealing with specific problems, and this needs to be treated as an address of something specific. The Timothy passage is one that makes for some of the same contradictions when applied literally or even conservatively. For example, the book of Acts presents the story of a woman, Priscilla, and her husband teaching a Christian man. If Timothy is taken literally, there is no way that that should have been allowed, but this couple is later praised by Paul. It is clear that there was…

image bearers to honor God with how we maintain our image.
