Epistle to Philemon

Single female Christian, slightly obese, age 22, with poor self-image. In this case, it does not matter if she was slightly obese, it still called obesity. The obesity is usually defined as a condition in which a person’s weight is more above normal weight. Obesity is the most common medical problems. It affects every person regardless of age categories. Obesity had several risk factor can leading someone to death but still obese can be preventable. We need to be successful in its treatment…

As Christians one must always remain centered on God and keep that as the pinnacle of importance. So then, is time wasted studying for a test when it could be used to further God’s kingdom? What about trivial hobbies like going for a run on a brisk day, is that meaningless? Certainly exercise can bring happiness and is endorsed by our society as good, but in the end what will be the point of small temporary happiness when our eternal destiny is on the line? Often the thought has occurred that…

Additionally, she goes over Pual’s epistles and beliefs in subordination of women and the topic of why Paul thinks women need to be silent in the Church. Additionally, Elisabeth goes over the relationship that Paul has with women and demonstrates that during the time Paul was alive, women…

Regarding the second half of verse 24, “he (The Antichrist) will distribute plunder, booty and possessions among them”: It is difficult to tell who exactly the “them” is. It does not follow to apply “them” to “one’s ancestors”, who are usually aged, if not dead. Is it possible this is a reference to The Antichrist’s blood relatives? I do not know. I do know who Donald Trump has placed in the highest positions of his TRUMP Organization: his oldest two sons and daughter; Donald Jr., Eric, and…

Journal #5 I really enjoyed reading 1 Corinthians during this past unit. It is a book that I very often read bits and pieces from, but do not typically take the tame to read straight through. I have been finding it notably refreshing to read the entirety of Bible books in this study, and doing so with 1 Corinthians was no exception. My main takeaway from reading Paul 's letter can be summed up in this question: Where is your focus? The culture that Paul was writing to in Corinth was very…

Not a Day Sooner In every encounter, people who cross our path leave a part of themselves with us. Their words, wisdom, or humour is a gift of God. I find that the Holy Spirit will call to remembrance some of these unusual moments to illustrate a truth or impress a teaching upon the heart of another, and all we are doing is telling a story. Jesus was a master real-life storyteller, and that is why His teachings impact us in life today. There is a Christian commentator who hosts a program…

Hi everyone, This was an interesting topic. There is tons of information in the Bible, as well as in commentaries. There wasn’t that much in our text book that pertained to this passage of reading, Romans 14 – 15:13. The only thing Gundry (2012 p. 444) had to say on this topic of weak versus strong Christians was, “Paul indicates that believers must allow one another freedom to differ on ritual questions so long as damage is not done to weaker, uninformed people.” You can say that in a…

missionary journey. Paul brought faith into the city Troas to the people who would form the heart of the thriving congregation of the city. It was likely that Paul wrote Philippians last of all of the four Prison Epistles. The other three Prison Epistles were Colossians, Ephesians and Philemon. The letter of the Philippians was delivered by Epaphroditus. Philippians is so important because it was not written in a time of crisis, it was written so Paul could express his affection and…

“Saint Paul of Tarsus, a man who was breathing at the same time as Jesus. The first theologian to walk the earth and the main interpreter of Jesus’s teachings whose development of Christianity has been all-embracing. In the 21st century people learn that Saint Paul of Tarsus is one of the most important figures in the history of Christianity. However he was not always known like that previously he was known as Saul of Tarsus the persecutor of Christians. Reference will be made to Saint Paul’s…
