Holiness is the central theme of Leviticus that is developed throughout the book. Holiness means to be separate from sin, follow the Lord’s purpose in his direction and become a reflection of his glory. The central theme of Leviticus covers the idea of “be holy, for I am holy” (11:44-45; 19:2; 20:7, 26 NRSV). Especially in the last section of the book, the term “holy” and its derivatives occurs eighty-five times in the last eleven chapters. We can see how desperate God’s intention is to call…

Biblical and Theological Context Jonah 4 in the Canon While the words of Jonah 4 are not directly quoted elsewhere in Scripture the message of Jonah 4 is bedrock for much of the message of the New Testament. In most prophetic literature the judgment of God upon Israel appears to be related more or less to their fidelity to the Mosaic covenant.

The Old Testament shows how a master should behave with his slaves as Paul affirms in his letter to the Ephesians. After the exodus from Egypt, the people of Israel had a new master: God, who ordered that the masters should let the slaves live among them and do not press them (Deuteronomy 22:16). In this verse of the Bible, God establishes the rules in which He allows the practice of slavery; He affirms that slavery is an institution that does not support the oppression nor the suffering of…

The Bible is arguably the most important, physical component of Christianity. It is used as a guideline to show us the way to salvation, as well as a means by which we are able to know Him and His will better. Many, however, would question the validity of the Bible. Christians claim that the Bible is infallible, and “useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness ...,”(2 Timothy 3:16, ESV) but even Christians disagree as to what are legitimate books of the Bible. Given…

The Sabbath is a day of rest and worship for the Lord that falls on the seventh day of a seven day cycle. As the details within the commandment explain, the rest day started from the very beginning when God finished His creation in six days and rested on the seventh day (King James Version, Gen. 2.1-3). Rest is a recognition of God: ceasing usual labour to recognize Him as sovereign (Massee 58). For Israel, the Sabbath had special significance; as it was a law, both civil and religious (Massee…
