Isaiah

The prophet Isaiah envisioned the state of Israel once again becoming an independent nation: Isaiah 66:7-8 “Before she goes into labor, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son. Who has ever heard of such a thing? Who has ever seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or…

This has been attained by immediately starting the said Book with John the Baptist preaching on Isaiah’s prophesy, instead of detailing the biological lineage of Jesus. Hence, referring to Isaiah, Mark writes the lines “Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way…Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths” (Mark 1: 2-3). More so, this is immediately succeeded by the account of the baptism of Jesus, which…

The Authenticity of the Bible In today's society the Bible is brought up for many controversial reasons. The main argument about the Bible is that it is not true.

There are plenty of facts in the bible and in our history that make the Bible true. Archeological facts and discoveries, medical facts,…

Western Civilization The term, western civilization, refers to a series of cultures that evolved and diffused over time, and impacted societies across the world. Western civilization, “walks on two legs, one Hebrew, and one Greek”, and the western world view concerning ethical human behavior and social justice has its roots in both Hebrew and Greek thought.

An overlaying theme that stands out to me: the everlasting love of a gracious father to an undeserving people. I relate to these people as time and time again I have strayed from the Lord when I thought that I knew best. Personally, I came form a background where the Bible was strictly a religion and not a relationship. I came from a background where I was constantly put down for messing up and being told that I was worthless to God. There came a time in my life where I placed my eyes on man…
