Hebrew Bible

The Torah, also known as the “Pentateuch,” consists of the first five books of the Bible to show their relations as one coherent storyline. The word, Torah, comes from Hebrew meaning “father’s law.” Though the books of the Torah are usually referred as law, it may actually be represented as the Gospel, or God’s salvation for his fallen creation. The laws that Moses has written does not save the people from their sin but the Seed of the Woman, a child born of Eve who is without sin, would take…

are honoring the Lord kingdom, it’s no holding back, they give generously and joyfully. “Paul rejoiced in their unique bond created by their working partnership- a bond that transcends the convention of social reciprocity"(Garland, 2006, p. 259). Hebrews 13: 16 say, “And do not forget to do good and to share with others for with such sacrifices God is pleased. 2. The Performance of giving (Phil.4: V-17-18) A. When it comes to giving most of us Christian find it very hard performance this…

might see it as incredibly unbiblical, or going against the very financial foundation of the church. To those of you who face these concerns, I ask that you hear me out as I explain why you should not tithe. So what is a tithe? When translated from Hebrew, we see it literally translates tenth. It is defined in The Webster Dictionary as, “a tenth part of something paid as a voluntary contribution or as a tax especially for the support of a religious establishment.” The problem we face today in…

that starts with capital letter then finishes lowercase letters and all capital letters. According to the book, the word “Lord” with lowercase can be found the Hebrew word adonai, which means “sovereign one.” In other words, it is not referring to the name of God, but the title of God. In contrast, the word “LORD…

places: heaven or hell. One day, the Messiah will come back to earth and everyone will be judged. Those who listened to God’s teachings and truly believed that Jesus Christ is their Savior will be sent to heaven to live forever in a new body. The bible offers a glimpse of heaven when it says, “He [God] will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)…

Hesiod 's Theogony and the Book of Genesis, came from two very distinct cultures. Hesiod’s Theogony is the Greek account of the creation of earth and humankind, while The Book of Genesis is the first book of the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament, which also stands as an account of creation. There are a number of profound similarities and differences between the creation stories contained in Hesiod 's Theogony and the biblical book of Genesis. The similarities and differences between…

The book of Hebrews chapter eleven has been described by many as the Bible’s ‘Hall of Faith’. The verse by verse description of both heroes and heroines of our faith fills the reader with both encouragement and admonishment. I like others I’m sure who have read these texts find it inspiring that those who believe in God and keep the faith overcome great adversity often times throughout some crazy challenges. Of course ancient people like Noah, Abraham and Moses are mentioned in this chapter. The…

Very surprisingly Hill fails to quote one of the best sources and referrals of biblical faith: Hebrews chapter 11. This creates a great hole in the whole structure of the article which weakens it and diminishing drastically its Christian value. Apart from this Hill very adequately insists in the importance of showing our faith with good deeds, godly…

Hebrews 11: 8 states, “By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went”. Abram's absolute obedience to God is the kind of faith that God requires…

Discernment on Exodus Being that this book is the second of the Old Testament, following Genesis, one would expect consistency in the story telling theme. Although all characters in Genesis were related through family ties, they all made part of varying stories that supported ultimately the same message. In the other hand, the book of Exodus is one that elaborates on one single character whose story extends to different events, which I feel concurred with Genesis’ message; loyalty to God that…
