Gospel of the Hebrews

3. 1 Timothy 4:8b-9 "But godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation." This saying is of a different "sort of proverbial maxim" according to Eugene Stock, author of Practical Truths from the Pastoral Epistles. This saying is often debated whether or not to include verses 7 and 8a. For this passage, it makes sense that Paul would not make an important statement about the…

Many Christians are curious about who the two witnesses in Revelation 11:3-13 happen to be. These two witnesses are among the most dramatic characters in the Scripture. They prophesy before the world for three and a half years. During that time, they can strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they desire and cannot be harmed by their enemies. When they have finished their testimony, they are killed by the beast but they rise to life in three and a half days. In this paper, I will…

1) The early republic’s social division, which used to determine the shape of politic, and the great power of the senate has led to the demise of the Roman Republic. The people of the Roman Republic were divided according to the social status, most of the political power was in the hand of the Patricians, who were the members of certain elite families. The divided social status has given the most of power directly to the patrician men, who had dominated the Roman republic on both political and…

although some may be used occasionally by other writers of the New Testament.”7 Driver attempts to make an argument from the use of some words that he claims developed in the Hebrew language at a date after the life of Isaiah the prophet. This is a weak argument due to the fact that there is too little information on how ancient Hebrew changed over the timeframe in question to sufficiently support his…

message of Jesus and Him crucified for our sins then we start receiving the wisdom of God. We see in 1 Corinthians 2:2 Paul says “For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” This is the main message of the gospel, of course, we learn much more but knowing this truth will set you free. John 8:32 “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you…

A Failure That Was Not Really a Failure In Acts 21 and 22 Paul almost gets himself killed, twice. Paul’s speech, however, does not warrant this severe hostile response from his audience. This extreme reaction can be explained by the setting of Acts 21. After seven days of purification, Paul, a follower of Christ Jesus, goes to Jerusalem and presents offerings at the temple. The Asian Jews accuse him of bringing Greeks into the Temple, defiling that holy place. The people seize Paul and seek to…

My parents grew up in the only neighborhood in 1960s Phoenix zoned for Blacks and Mexicans. That neighborhood, South Phoenix, was also the only place in 517 square miles of city zoned for waste dumps, sewage treatment, and mercury-spewing cement plants. The federal government began trying to desegregate Phoenix in the 1970s, but my parents stayed south. They didn’t have much of a choice: they were priced out of anywhere else. Right out of high school, my dad began putting in long hours driving…

Shaunakay Clarke Professor Humanities 111 21 December 2016 Based upon the Hebrew Bible, evil in why do you think that there is sin and the world? How does the Creation story explain original sin? In what way does free will function in the development of sin? Why is free will, despite sin, necessary for a healthy relationship not only between God and people, but between people themselves? How would you explain Adam and Eve’s introduction of evil into the world? Before transgression entered the…
