Throughout history, many religious scholars have devoted their life to studying the Hebrew Bible. By analyzing the differences in writing styles and diction, these scholars have been able to estimate the time period that certain passages of the text were written. Due to these examinations, scholars have also been able to discern that, within various books of the Bible, there are many unsubtle changes in the various literary elements that are used. The first five books of the Bible, referred to…

different aspects, we believe that the Father and the Son are separate beings, who both take upon them the title “God.” Jehovah, the God of the Old Testament, came to earth in the form of Jesus Christ and Elohim, the father of our spirits, is who we pray to and worship in latter days. However, Elohim is not the only Father. Christ is a father to us as well, He is the co-creator of the world and our bodies, so in this way he is a Father to the world. When prophesying of the Messiahs birth,…

As a college student, one has the ability to make their own decisions and learn more about themselves. Growing up in a strict household, I was never able to question my religious status without being viewed negatively by my peers. Since my mother and father were both Christians, I was forced to follow the same path and live a predetermined lifestyle. Months later after becoming a college student at Winthrop University, I found myself questioning my self-worth since I was never actually given the…

Much discussions on the writing-translation motivation of Legge is evangelical. I suggest to reconsider the writing motivation of Legge from author-reader a prior. Choosing The Story of Abraham is not only to consider the publication year of 1857 which can have parallel reading with his The Notions of the Chinese Concerning God and Spirits, but also we can identify the identity of Legge as co-author-translator-interpreter. A brief introduction of The Story of Abraham is needed. After that,…

“Then God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.” The biblical flood comprises chapters 6-9 in the Book of Genesis of the Bible. The chapters state God’s disgust of what humanity had become, and his intentions to cleanse the earth. One man and his family were picked by God to build an ark and save a male/female of each animal. God’s intentions led to Noah’s Ark. In…

III. Theology Proper Definition of God God is a Spirit (John 4:24), infinite (Job 11:7; 1 Kings 8:27), eternal (Ps. 90:2; 1 Tim. 1:17), and unchangeable (James 1:17; Mal. 3:6) in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth. The Immanence of God The immanence of God connotes an indwelling of God within the world and its processes (Jer. 23:23-24; Acts 17:27-29; Heb. 1:3; Matt. 10:29). Every event is of supernatural causation in some sense. However, God is over the universe…

‘passive’ euthanasia is acceptable in some circumstances. Improving a patient’s quality of life through palliative care is more significant to Jews, who understand that sickness and death are a natural part of life. When the ‘divine image’ (tzelem elohim) is affected by extreme suffering, some of the more liberal rabbis will allow a life to be terminated by removal of life support. ‘Active’ euthanasia is condemned and the option of patient-assisted euthanasia is considered to be suicide. Suicide…

The Book of Deuteronomy sustains an integral position amongst the books of the Bible. It is the final book of the Pentateuch and befittingly links these opening books to the latter historical and prophetic books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings. Not only is Deuteronomy key in its literary placement, but it is also pivotal if one is to understand the theology in the New Testament; especially thoughts regarding the ideology of love. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to contemporize…
