Hebrews

The book of Jonah, just like the other Minor Prophets, is a short story – only 4 chapters with 48 vesicles – which, between other characteristics, its distinguishes by having the prophet as the main character, while the other prophets are only collections of oracles. Another difference with the other minor prophet books, is that the book of Jonah is a narrative story about the mission ordered to Jonah, and, even in other books of the Bible, we find parallel writings of this particular style,…

Upon arriving at The Temple B’nai Jeshurun I was not exactly sure what to expect or what I had got myself into. I had assumed that my class would be looked at weird and treated funny because we were spectating their Jewish worship. However, after arriving in the sanctuary the people were very friendly and welcoming. Some even came up to us and shook our hands and told us they were glad to have us there. Sally Frank was very helpful and mentioned someone of the holidays we had learned about in…

1. Introduction The origin of the name “Psalms” comes from the Hebrew language. In Hebrew the word “Psalms” means "praises" and in Greek it means "songs." Historically, the book of Psalms covers the time from Moses until the end of the exile of Israel. Although some scholars consider the titles of the Psalms difficult to understand, it is known that the title of each Psalm elucidates the historical context of the biblical passage. One of the main purposes of the book of Psalms is to describe the…

Chapter one describes the relationship between "holiness" and "separation." Dr. Moritz says, "separation is not all there is to holiness, but it is a vital part of the concept" (page 9). A study of the major Hebrew and Greek words (also put in English form for those who don't know Hebrew or Greek!) shows that "to sanctify, to make holy" includes the idea, "to set apart" (pages 8,9,105–113). God's holiness is intrinsic (i.e. necessary to His nature) and is both negative (separate from evil) and…

both Egyptians and Mesopotamians majorly contributed to the religious beliefs of both societies. Both believed in polytheism, which was the belief of many gods. Only a few exceptions to this belief ever occurred. For the Mesopotamians, it was the Hebrews and the pharaoh Akhenaton for Egypt. The major belief in may gods was primarily due to nature and how it affective both. Examples of gods they worshiped were the sun god Ra in Egypt and Adad, the god of storm and rain in Mesopotamia. Due to…

is full of suffering and once life is over that this is the end of suffering. Jews believe that we are made in the image of God and that people come into the world with the capacity to make out own choices for good or evil. Jews also follow the Hebrew Scripture, where the Buddhist follow the teachings of Buddha; the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Paths, and the written scripture of Tripitaka. The goal of spirituality for the Buddhist is the deliverance from samsara through reaching nirvana.…

“the kingdom.” Hebrews 10:25 says “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—all the more as you see the Day approaching.” This verse not only gives the purpose of the church, but also the definition of the church. The purpose of the church may vary from person to person or even a council. There have been points proven through the Vatican council that have influenced what the purpose of the church should be. Context 1: Hebrews was…

The Neolithic agricultural revolution occurred when hunter-gatherers learned how to farm crops and it changed women and men daily lives. The Neolithic agricultural revolution did not suddenly occur, Pathologic hunters and gathers had already grown crops to supplement their traditional source of food. “The Mesolithic Age was when there was a transition from a food-gathering and hunting economy to food-producing one. Systemic agriculture developed independently in different areas of the world.” (p…

1. In Book I of the Republic, Cephalus defines justice as the following: justice is telling truth and paying debts. However, Socrates refutes Cephalus’s definition by claiming that there are situations when it is not just to tell the truth and pay the debts. Sometimes, contracts are bad though it starts out good. For example, it is not just to return weapon or entrust care to a friend who is insane. Besides Cephalus’s definition of justice, Thrasymachus also provides his definition of justice…
