Moreover, this is the most important theme found in the New Testament because it is a major theme for Christianity. Christianity is built on the idea of the messiah being rejected by man so that he can die for man’s sin. The theme of divine necessity is the paradox, suffering brings happiness. This is…
According to the above epigraph, servant leaders acting in the capacity of a salt leader will strive to promote a workplace culture that is based on Christian values (e.g. Servant leadership combined with agape love) where good is rewarded and evil is rebuked (Gomez-Mejia et al. 2012, 494-595). Dale Roach (2016, 45)—author of The Servant Leadership Style of Jesus: A Biblical Strategy for Leadership Development—argues against creating a homogenous culture saying that Jesus’ practiced diversity…
The Bible is made up of 73 books all based on the word of God. The 73 books are divided into the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is written before Christ whereas the New Testament is written after Christ. Together the testaments combine to create the Holy Bible. The Christian faith is based on the readings of the Bible, because it is said that god spoke to the prophets making the Bible a Sacred Scripture. God himself guided the authors who wrote the books of the Bible. The…
partial apostasy and not a full apostasy of His Church (Matthew 28:20; Ephesians 3:21, 4:11-16; 1 Timothy 4:1, Holy Bible: authorized King James Version, 2009). In Matthew 16:18 Jesus says, “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Holy Bible: authorized King James Version, 2009). I believe that Jesus’ words were to be taken truthfully and if Mormons believe Jesus to be perfect and the son of…

in bondage for more than 400 hundred years by means of slavery and because of their severe harsh treatment they cried out to the Lord for deliverance, God raised up a deliverer by the name of Moses. They were given a new way of life after their liberation from bondage and in this new way of life, they were given instructions concerning worship, and since God was the one responsible for their deliverance, they were to serve and worship him only. However not everyone is susceptible to change…

How Misinterpretation of the Bible Helped the Justification of the Crusades. The Crusades were a series of expeditions undertaken by Christian holy men in the hopes of delivering holy places from Islamic tyranny (Douglas J. Potter). The popes felt that Europe should be under Christian unity, and the pressure that they felt from the Byzantine Empire threatened said unity, so they decided to send troops of men to free the land of the Byzantine Empire once again for the Christians. One would think…
Shakespeare wrote Macbeth sometime between 1605 and 1606, coincidently just as the new king of England, James I, rose to power. Some scholars believe that Macbeth was not supposed to be a public play, but a private play that was only to be seen by the king (The Historical 1). The reason why some scholars believe this to be true is because the play “contains many reflections of James' interests: the family tree of Scottish royalty, the issue of "just" kingship, the threat of regicide, and…

I was able to successfully rebuke all these enemies once they were identified. Since I was in the situation and confused, it was difficult for me…
