the canon (books of the Bible.) Some people believe there should be more books added to the canon (apocrypha) while others believe that certain books be stripped away from the canon. I have prepared myself to have a personal conversation about the authority that establishes the canon. Here are three questions that could arise when having a personal conversation about the canon: 1. Who determines which books make it into the Bible and which books do not make it into the Bible? 2. How did they…

Being holy is a command by the Lord, he tells us that he is the most holy and that we should be like him. We have to do our best to live holy lives, which is not any easy thing to do because of the world we live in is corrupt. The devil has a strong grip on the majority of this world and he is not letting go any time soon. In this paper I will be talking about how my denomination takes a biblical stand point on holiness, whether or not I believe holiness can be attained in this life, and how I…

In chapter 2 I learned that there are ten recommended points of reference that could help in studying Greek in ministry: An English Bible, this should be a bible that is regularly used for personal study; A modern Edition of the Greek New Testament, this book is used to examine the English passage in depth; An Exegetical Guide, this will help the interpreter read Greek text and produce a provisional…

The Relationship between Salvation, Obedience, and the Ten Commandments As a Christian, who has confessed my sin to Jesus Christ, claimed the gift of Salvation that He has given me and have surrendered my life to Him, I am no longer under the law of the Ten Commandments but under God’s grace. I still make it a goal to obey the Ten Commandments, not to earn my way to heaven, but in response to the gift of salvation I have received from the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. As a follower of…

their life. Also using to define their reason for being. (Word Count 73) What is a biblical worldview? A biblical worldview is centered with God. He is the beginning and end to our faith that develops a person’s worldview. He has given to us the bible, his word, to which we use as guidelines to live by and obey. We do this in reverence and respect for our father who in heaven. Not mention because we love him so very much. Also we use it to learn and remember the events that have happened to…

In the lecture, “Why I Am Not a Christian” Bertrand Russell delivers his thoughts on Christianity and the belief in God. Russell makes several claims and reasons on why he is not a Christian throughout this speech. He presents many theories and arguments about how God couldn’t possibly exist. Many of these reasons he gives have even been “proven” by a multitude of scholars and scientists. Although Bertrand Russell makes some compelling arguments he makes many illogical fallacies within his…

that may be the dictionary definition, a worldview is more than one person’s view. A worldview, “is an overall concept of the world and our part in it” (Hassenpflug page 88). A Christian worldview has the authority of God as its basis and what the bible has to say on topics such as our origin of life, our identity, meaning and purpose, our mortality, as well as our destiny. The origin of your life is the same for every person, religious or not. Our parents had sex and thus we became. According…

College never seemed like a possibility for me. However, God recently orchestrated events in my life that have sparked a desire for knowledge and academic accomplishment. I began working at Valley Christian Elementary School in the fall of 2014. To work in a Christian environment has been a blessing and a life changing experience. I work side by side with educated Christian men and women who work tirelessly and faithfully to support the mission “In everything God is preeminent”. This dedication…

Jack is shown as an evil character whereas Piggy, Simon and Ralph are shown as the good. As the novel progresses, Piggy and Ralph transition into evil characters. The major allusion to the Bible is shown with the Lord of the Flies or the boar head on the stick – the Lord of the Flies is a character from the Holy Bible, representing Beelzebub or ‘The Prince of Demons’. “He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. (King James Version 2193)” The boar head on the stick…

innocent baby into the house of Pharaoh. Pharaoh wanted the midwives to kill all male babies immediately after they were born. The midwives knew that this was not right and stood up against Pharaoh’s laws. God rewarded the disobedience. While the Bible talks about following man’s law, it was interesting to read about God rewarding people that stood for His laws over man’s laws. We must think about this when making decisions in contemporary society. After Moses was born, his mother put him…
