song lyrics, when he matures, he says parables, and when he becomes an elder, he speaks of vanities and follies.” On the other hand, some modern scholars argue that the lamed in 1:1 does not have to imply scholarship, given its diverse use in the Hebrew Bible. Dell and Murphy infer that the reference to…
includes the input of each student on which of these seven models seem to be the strongest. In this paper the case for why a particular model is the most effective is reasoned with corroborations derived from a multitude of discussions, class notes, the Bible, and Entwistle’s (2015) and Johnson’s (2010) books, both about the integration of…
Introduction and Background for Women in OT Times “The Bible speaks about women in many different ways, sometimes explicitly, but more usually indirectly.” Men are usually the main characters in the Bible though sometimes women are mentioned it is usually indirectly. Women were not viewed as important as a man in society during Old Testament times. This wasn’t exactly the case with Eve. “Genesis informs its readers that woman is a special creation of God (Gen. 1:16-27; 2:18-24).” Eve was also…
law and tradition. To non-Jews this would be referred to as the old testament. To Jews there is no old testament it is simplyThe written Torah or Tanakh. The Hebrew names of the first five books are derived from the first few words of the book. The writings of each book is synonymous in Jewish translations with what is seen in Christian Bibles.

I agree with the doctrinal distinction of total depravity. This doctrinal belief comes from the Reformed tradition. Total depravity means that humans are completely wicked and morally corrupt. This means that human nature is fully dead. Without Christ, it is not possible to have true life because of the depravity of humans. I believe this is true because human nature is corruptible and mutable. Consequently, humans live in sin and are tempted by evil throughout the entire time on heaven. Satan…
who were heroines. This princess, whose name does not appear, rescues the life of the little baby Moses after having seen him in a basket along the bank of the Nile. Moses’ mom had sadly put him in that basket as Pharaoh had ordered to throw every Hebrew boy into the Nile.

Through this we can learn that…

Someone will say, that God’s people in the Old Testament danced, so evidently this is allowed by God today in worship, recreation, etc. Is this true? We need to look at things in the Bible in the proper context in order to make the proper application to ourselves today. The things in the Old Testament were written for our learning (Rm. 15:4) but we don’t need to practice everything that those under the old covenant practiced (1 Cor.…
virgin could only conceive by the power of the LORD through the Holy Spirit. The bible stresses nothing is impossible with the LORD. That's what makes the portrait of a Messiah lifelike and because he is the Lord’s Divine Son. That's is what also makes Him the spotless Lamb that can be the sacrifice for our sins. You say the LORD is one LORD. That is true, but we see from Scripture that He is one in unity. The Hebrew term echad used in the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4) is the very same word used to…
MBTS class U-CE405: Making Disciples CCC. I became a Christian in my early twenties after a year long process of reading my Bible. It was a tremendous journey full of unbelief, discouragement and finally faith. A year later the Lord called me into full time ministry. In the fall of I995 I was enrolled at Baptist Bible College in Springfield, MO. It was here at Bible College that I not only learned of the deficiencies of most people’s view of discipleship, but I began a long journey in…
