34 and 35 where Mark writes, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother” is the dual writing style version of what Luke writes in Luke 8:21 (New International Version, Mark 3.34-35). These changes would have been necessary because of the possible questions that may arise from Mark’s version. One would wonder who the sister of Jesus was. They do not talk about elsewhere in the Bible. Luke would, therefore, streamline this section with…

When anyone asks me what my culture identity is, the first thing to pop into my head is everything I am surrounded by and the closest people to me, also the activities I do on the daily and how it is done. Culture is something that is shared and learned as you grow up. What you learned is partially who you end up being in the future whether you can identify it or not. I define my culture identity as the things I am closest to and who I am closest to, which happens to be Jehovah God, his word the…

against slavery. "For he was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord's freedman; similarly, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ's slave. You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men"( I Corinthians 7:22-23, New International Version). However, Onesimus’ conversion had made a genuine difference in his life that made him consider himself and others differently, including Philemon. Paul knew by having a different concept of slavery and how to treat others who…

asked him how the play stick to the texts in the Gospels. He relied heavily on three versions: King James, New International Version, and New Living Translation. He said in his email that he took from these three versions because he wanted to take “words from a variety of these translations and paraphrased segments so that they were more “playable” for me as an actor.” Justin put his own twist from the three versions. He diverged creatively from the text by selecting a base “on how they would…

Colossians, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving” (Colossians 3:23-24, New International Version, p. 1623). In applying these four principles to our stewardship it entwines everything we do here on earth to our heavenly father. Which will glorify him and further the kingdom of…

Samuel 1:27 says, ”I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.” (New International Version) In gratefulness of God’s blessing Hannah returned Samuel back to God, in reason of her promise to our Father that she would raise Samuel to be a man of the Lord. 1 Samuel 3:19 states, “As Samuel grew up, the LORD was with him, and everything Samuel said proved to be reliable.” (New Living Translation) Even Elisha and Elijah who we don’t have…

Introduction Australian manufacturing has undergone massive transformations since the 1960s when it dominated the Australian economy forming 28% of the gross domestic product (GDP), or the total value of goods and services produced by a country over a period of time, until present where it only forms 8% of Australia’s GDP (as of 2010-11) . This decline can be seen as the result of structural changes mainly economic liberalisation, or the lessening of government intervention in the economy, since…

organization of social relations and transactions, generating transcontinental or interregional flows and network of activity, interaction and the exercise of power.’ (Held et al., 1999) At a simple level, globalisation has meant an increase in international trade, development of multi-national corporations, for example, McDonalds, free trade (movement of goods and services) through organisations such as the World Trade Organisation, free movement of labour, and an inter-connected…

death sentence was recorded when a member of non-nobility was ordered to take his own life after being accused of alchemy (Randa, 1997). Britain has influenced America’s death penalty more than any other country and it was actually introduced to the new world by the first European settlers in the 17th century. The first recorded execution was in the Jamestown colony of Virginia in 1608 when Captain…
