2. Israel a. Abraham, the Father In “Ur of the Chaldeans” (Gn 11:31), probably the same land of Babel, there is Abram, a man that waits for the word of God, a man that is able to hear, a man chosen by God, the first in the Bible to be called “prophet” (Gn 20:7). Abram is presented as the anti-Babel character par excellence. A kind of dichotomy can be seen in the two accounts. The promise of God to Abram “I will make of you a great nation” (Gn 12:2) finds its counterpart in the story of Babel…

Do you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again on the third day after his death according to the scriptures? This mystery that occured in the early first century A.D. is the kindle of a flame that is Christianity today. Christianity, by atheists, is seen as a religion that is false and one where the followers are mindlessly following a God that isn't real. Some have even gone far enough attempt to find all the evidence in the world to disprove the resurrection and ultimately…

Much discussions on the writing-translation motivation of Legge is evangelical. I suggest to reconsider the writing motivation of Legge from author-reader a prior. Choosing The Story of Abraham is not only to consider the publication year of 1857 which can have parallel reading with his The Notions of the Chinese Concerning God and Spirits, but also we can identify the identity of Legge as co-author-translator-interpreter. A brief introduction of The Story of Abraham is needed. After that,…

Initially, Wiesel and all the Jews of Sighet believed deeply in God. Their faith in the Almighty was absolute. At already 12 years old, Wiesel wanted to study the Kabbalah, a world of mysticism as explained by his father, despite the Jewish laws about this discipline. Furthermore, when he was talking with Moche the Beadle, his master in Kabbalah, Wiesel said, “We would read together, ten times over, the same page of the Zohar. Not to learn it by heart but to extract the divine essence from…

The answer is in the Bible, God’s word. Jeremiah 31.3: I have loved you with an everlasting love. God loves you, and He loves you with a agape love. There is no human love comparable to divine love. God loves you & wants to forgive you & have fellowship with you. Many of us do not know God’s love. If you knew his love, your life will be changed. When man sinned what did God do? He did not hate mankind because of their sin. Though God is holy & without sin & hates sin but he loves a sinner.…

That’s what happened in the garden of Eden. But prior to this in-cident occurring Lucifer, was expelled or as we like to say kicked out of heaven because he wanted to be God. He was created by God and he wanted to be God to be worshipped as God was being worshipped by the angels he had created. But God is God and he will not share his glory with another. Earth became corrupt because of the pronouncement of God upon it. Man would now have to live by the sweat of his brow. No longer could he walk…

Substance One word could be used to describe this sermon, and that word is wow! Throughout my entire life in the church, I have never been exposed to such impassioned and bold preaching. The overarching theme of Smith’s sermon centered on God’s holiness and how holiness is attained throughout the course of one’s life leading to glorification or ultimate holiness. Throughout the sermon, Smith demonstrated that sanctification and holiness is a process. The introduction of Smith’s sermon was…

faith are made out of gratitude to God for His grace and tender mercies. If we do not appreciate grace, how can we enjoy God or thank God? This makes it crucial that we fully understand grace, and understand how it can be undermined in our lives. The New Testament shows us that Paul is absolutely clear that the gospel is simply grace. Anything else does not merely fall short of the full gospel; it is actually opposed to it. A deep sense of overwhelming gratitude, humility and thankfulness…
