When two books go hand in hand, it is clearly not a mistake. The books, The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Bible (more specifically the Book of Genesis) evidently represent each other. In both books, the divine figure had a specific purpose to initiate the flood and who they wanted to be the book's’ “hero.” In reference to the Book of Genesis, the divine and humanity develop a tenacious relationship subsequent to the flood due to the divine realizing it was a mistake. Earth was created in the eyes…

Tsichtinako also gave them some directions…

Martin Luther King, Jr uses many different references to the Bible. “Until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. (Amos 5:24),” he uses that specific verse from the Bible, to emit that they won’t cease until they have the justice to continue living in America without being thrown out like trash.

Upon reading the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution and Thomas Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Baptist, many commonalities can be seen in the wording of the documents and the spirit in which they were written. In all three documents the Framers of the Constitution’s belief in a Biblical worldview is apparent. A Biblical worldview holds that God is the answer to the questions of: what is the origin, nature, and destiny of the cosmos and what is the origin nature, role,…

The prophets in the Old Testament were people who profoundly understood the relationship between God and His people through the Covenant. They were touched with the Holy Spirit (Num 11:29, Num 27:18) so that they could provide counseling and guidance to God’s people in the Old Testament, until the pouring out of the Holy Spirit after the cross (Joel 2:28) when each of us is a prophet.

Pentecostalism developed towards the end of the 19th century. During this time there was a lack of interest to traditional religion. This was brought about due to the emotional modes of religious expression such as praying in unison, , enthusiastic singing and sermons on simple biblical themes giving way to ordered, robotic services where Mass would be carried out by uninteresting ministers in lecture centres. As large, popular Protestant churches turned into churched for the upper-middle class,…
