Books of the Bible

Through his use of these devices Bunyan is able to add to his narrative rather than detract from his Christian message. Bunyan worries about the reception of his book in the first few pages. In his intro he asks forgiveness of the reader if they think that in his writing he seems like he is trying to rewrite the bible. Rewriting the bible is not what he is trying to do, nor does it appear to readers that this is what he does in writing Pilgrim’s Progress. In writing…

“I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All the good from The Savior of the world is communicated to us through this Book.” God presented us with the Bible to help us and instruct us. Sometimes, we ignore the word of God and believe we are on our own, but that is not the case. God is always with us. Understanding Christ and all he did for us is essential. God's word is what defines Christianity. Out of all the precious things in my life, I treasure my Bible the most…

God Laughs The long-named book, The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible, is written by A.J. Jacobs who does a wonderful job of blending all the Bible's rules, including the Bible's outdated old testament ordinances, with modern-day life which gives the book a very comedic aroma. The awkwardly funny author has a way of wrapping up the reader into his Biblical journey by having many stories with their own unique part to them, but they…

characteristics that can be found in the Bible. Believers should not take part in the things of the world, but rather they should do their best to be a mirror image of God’s Son, Jesus Christ. The Bible is the first place a person should look to find what God wants their philosophy to look like. An arrangement of sixty-six separate books are put together to form what is known as the Holy Bible. The Bible, the number one best-seller of all time, is an extremely unique book that has been read by…

intelligent with the new knowledge I have of thyself. It's pretty cool to learn about all these new things and know where I really come from. The Bible and the Christian religion is a lie because it's similar to the stories in Egypt stealing the African Culture, The Bible is only an allegory, not meant to take literally by the average human and The Bible/Religion was put in place to psychologically castrate black people. Throughout the years the rates of people going to church have been…

writings that a group of faith follows. However, canon is different because these are books that meet specific standards. The books in the Bible were canonized and seen as scripture inspired by God. There are many books not included in the Bible that weren 't seen as canon. These were books that contained scripture but weren 't inspired by the Holy Spirit. An example of scripture not canonized comes from one of the books of Apocrypha called Wisdom of Solomon. "Love righteousness, ye that be…

He warned of only a partial apostasy and not a full apostasy of His Church (Matthew 28:20; Ephesians 3:21, 4:11-16; 1 Timothy 4:1, Holy Bible: authorized King James Version, 2009). In Matthew 16:18 Jesus says, “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Holy Bible: authorized King James Version, 2009). I believe that Jesus’ words were to be taken truthfully and if Mormons believe Jesus to be…

The Bible may be the most printed and bestselling book in the world in the last 50 years, but only less than half of practicing American Christians spend time regularly engaging with it, according to the American Bible Society (ABS) based on evidence gathered by the Barna Group over a six-year period. During a presentation at the Movement Day Global Cities conference held at the Jacob Javits Center last week, ABS’ Project Ignition director Samuel Harrell presented evidence gathered by Barna from…

Understanding the bible is a life-long process, one can read the bible their entire life and never clearly understand it. Growing up in the church and my grand parents forcing me to go to Sunday school I never fully understood the point of all the different stories that we read about or why we were reading about them. The biblical language made it equally tough because they read to us from the King James version, which is totally different from the convention English of today. As an adult…
