When we arrive to Exodus 34, we come across a narrative that is already in progress. Prior to the Exodus, we have already been introduced to the concept of divine covenant. In Genesis 12, the Lord promised Abram that He would make him a great nation, make his name great and bless others after him because of him. It is this contextual backdrop that leads to the Israelites becoming God’s chosen people. For early on in the narrative, we are made aware of the fact that God keeps His word –…

Basically, BDSM and non-traditional sex dynamics, specifically that which involves sex with partners other than a spouse, embodies the sins the bible teaches Christians to try to avoid and thus very much conflict with the Bible’s…

God vs gods and goddesses Mahatma Gandhi once said that he was a Hindu, but he said that he was also a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist, and a Jew and he ended the quote by saying that we all are. And that got me thinking about how can Gandhi and I and everyone else, believe in all of those religions? How are we all a Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, and a Jew? To figure out the meaning behind this quote I focused on only two religions. I will be comparing and contrasting Hinduism and…

Bibliology: A Brief Statement The Bible, in its sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the written Word of God. It is a holy construction of dual-authorship, consisting both of God’s sovereign influence and man’s directed inscription. There is nothing false or misleading within its pages—whether actual words, intended meaning, or the practices appropriately adapted from it; the Bible is entirely true, wholly helpful, and completely incapable of wrong. As God’s written revelation of…

these questions cannot be answered completely, however, using the Bible they can be answered to a certain extent. By breaking up Christianity into its bare essentials; God, humanity, Jesus, and restoration, its concept can be better understood and explained. God Everybody has their own idea about what God is like both physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The Bible gives some insight about what he is really like. Throughout the Bible it is seen that he is a loving, forgiving, holy, and…

In this paper I will prove that William Tyndale dedicated his life to the sacred and painstaking work of translating the New Testament and therefore making the bible accessible for all ordinary people to not just read, but understand as his writing style was vivid and eloquent. In spite of the consequences, being labeled a heretic, and ultimately a martyr, Tyndale’s bravery and personal faith in Christ, rather than the sole reliance of the church, demonstrated his determination to provide the…

Christianity, but it spurred awareness against the corruptions of the medieval church. By translating the Latin Vulgate Bible into English and also preaching in English, Wyclif could disseminate his interpretation of the Bible to the laity while allowing them to also interpret the Bible for themselves. Wyclif severely accused the church of being corrupt and through his translations of the Bible, he shared the Scriptures to the general public. Of course, Wyclif’s radical ideas did not miss the…

Introduction Isaiah, son of Amoz, was a prophet of Yahweh whose revelations to the nation of Judah are accepted as part of the biblical canon in the Old Testament. Isaiah was both a husband, and a father of at least two sons; Shear-Jashub and Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz (Isaiah 8:3-4). Isaiah was commissioned by the Lord and served Yahweh faithfully as a prophet from approximately 740 B.C.- 700 B.C. Isaiah’s ministry officially began after his vision of the Throne Room of God in Isaiah 6, towards the…

This also can be seen as a representation of things that took place in the Holy Bible. In Lord of the Flies, Jack said, “I gave you food and my hunters will protect you from the bears. Who will join my tribe?” In the Holy Bible, Satan says, “No! You will not die. In fact, God knows that when you eat your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:4-6 Holman Christian Standard Bible) Both Jack and Satan, both with evil intent, tried to persuade others to…

not do any good if we simply view the Bible as a text book. This is why we cannot refer it, sprinkle it, or concordance it. The Bible speaks in a manner of unfolding a grand drama. The Bible is sufficient and it speaks concerning the areas of our lives. Yet, because it doesn’t provide meticulous details for life, we must also excavate relevant applications from the truth hidden in the Bible, as the Bible provides general principles for the way of life. The Bible needs to be used Gospel-narrative…
