While researching the ten plagues and Egyptian theology, one will often find that many believe each plague to be an attack on different gods. Evidence for this idea is found…

faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9) The grace of God, the ‘loving-kindness’ of God, the ‘favor’ of God, is never to be understood as something that is manifest among men based on anything apart from the sheer ‘benevolence’ of the LORD.

As natural theology developed it became understood as a means of demonstrating the existence of God through the reason and order of nature, separate from special revelation. This ideology, by replacing God’s gift of revelation with human ability, posed a severe threat to the established Protestant doctrines of the day. In 1934, Emil Brunner published his famous essay entitled Nature and Grace, supporting the viability of natural theology. Brunner’s thesis: “It is the task of our theological…

is was not solid evidence to say that Jesus had wrote the bible. It says that God sent Jesus to advertise a message to the world but Jesus only spoke one language and it was Hebrew. It is nearly impossible for someone to speak to the world in just one language when there are many other ethnicities and languages spoken around the world.
