In spite of its attackers and critics, the novel has stimulated debate since 1885, both as an interpretation on American race associations, class divisions, hostility and aggression, and as an assessment of humanity’s social commitment in its search of freedom and liberty. The novel highlights the debates of race, conventionality, slavery, liberty, independence and influence and at the same time it encourages the readers to do a firm groundwork for a better understanding. In spite of censorship,…
Just as the story of rebellion and redemption is repeated through scripture over and over again, the story of Abram follows the same pattern. The people of the day were rebelling against God and their arrogance angered God who dispersed them and confused their languages. God chose Abram, whose…
both personally for those who repent and believe and cosmically as He redeems culture and creation from its subjection to futility.” (Chandler, 7). This really is the essence of the Gospel. The Gospel is the story of how God…
there is but only one God, however, he exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, known as the Holy Trinity. The Holy Trinity is to the Christian Worldview because it provides an understanding of how all three persons played a part in the creation, spread, and sustainment of Christianity.

After researching material on Daniel 9:24-27, I will write an exegetical/expositional research paper detailing my own verse-by-verse, point-by-point interpretation of this important prophetic text. In this paper I will describe my own approach to Daniel’s Prophecy of Seventy Weeks. To support my thoughts, I also interact with the various approaches that have been suggested by individual commentators and broader eschatological/theological systems. Specifically, I will be sure to describe the…

Work is where God is omnipotence the quality of having unlimited or very great power.3 From day one to day six of creation God saw that it was good. The seventh day is not…
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; the Trinity exemplified life on earth through Jesus and life after death exemplified with the Holy Spirit. In contrast, Naturalist deny human beings were created by a God but were instead another random creation formed with the use of matter and the cosmos. Not formed or thought to be anything special, human beings are equivocated to a machine. Which means the way in which we function is determined by physical and chemical processes that occur in the…
reawakens his own fear of mortality and jumpstarts the demi-god into a journey for the cure. His search for immortality is a universal concept that has presented itself many times throughout the world. It is a concept that everyone in the history of mankind faces. How do we break free from the constraints of the physical world and overcome the limitations of mortality? Humanity’s answer to this question can be analyzed three ways: through our legacy and what we live behind, through the…
that I believe will satisfy me. God has shown me that my idol of comfort hinders me from trusting Him as I should. Sometimes this is a daily battle that I need to fight; like it says in Deuteronomy 4:9, I need to keep my soul diligently. Redemption is the third theological category we see in biblical anthropology. I was lost, I was dead. But, I have a Savior who was THE Imago Dei.
