Different political systems exist all over the world but the most common is either a Democracy or Communism/Socialist. The United States has a form of Democracy political system called a Representative Democracy. Since the Revolutionary War, the United States has become one of the world’s greatest superpowers. That’s why when the Red Scare swept through America, the citizens were thrown into a state of panic that communism would break into the free country. The reason Communism was so feared and…

Immense Presence of Energy In spite of that I still had a longing to comprehend the text’s meaning and persisted in my search; whereby, in due course, one day I decided to start from the very beginning, and read the entire manuscript again; however, this time reading verse by verse s-l-o-w-l-y; from Genesis to Malachi.

Is the Bible infallible? In order to answer this question we must first understand the word infallible. The definition of infallible is “incapable of making mistakes or being wrong.” I believe one hundred percent the bible is incapable of being wrong. It is God’s word and God is never wrong. We as humans continually make mistakes but our Creator never does. He never does something wrong. He is perfect. We can not comprehend God’s power and ability to do anything, His power is so large we can…

For anyone to have a deep relationship with God they need more than general revelation; they need special revelation. Supremely He revealed Himself through Jesus Christ. Today He reveals Himself primarily through the Bible, God’s revelation of Himself to us. The Bible is composed of writings called scriptures, God’s truth to us in words. It is made up of 66 books, 39 in the Old Testament, and 27 are in the New Testament. The Old Testament is a record of time from the creation of the…

The last one is the slaying of the firstborns’ of the Egyptians. At first glance, this seems like an absolutely…

Zechariah chapter 2 is about a vision that God gave Zechariah, a minor prophet. This vision is important, because it shows God’s role in new Jerusalem and His favor on His people. The purpose of this paper is to inform of God’s faithful return to His people. The scope of this paper is to explain what the vision means, demonstrate the chapter’s importance…

striving to grow increasingly closer and improve my understanding of him. As Christians I believe that we’re incapable of staying still in our faith. We’re either growing intentionally nearer or through indifference moving further away from God. Hebrews 2:1 says “We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.” God has given us many avenues to which we can grow closer through: reading scripture, prayer and service.…
