children of foreign women, would not be so. Today intermarriages are somewhat racially biased, and yet, spiritual differences are concerns of today. Intermarriages of today have become very common, widespread and yet very problematic. Although the New Testament says that believers should not team up with those who are unbelievers (2 Cor. 6:14). Many people today discount this problem only to regret it later. We must be careful, not to be blindsided to the importance of marrying someone with whom…

scholars can concluded that Joseph’s and Esarhaddon’s stories are separate unique. All of these comparisons do not convince me that Joseph’s story is based on Esarhaddon’s life. One example is the life of Moses from the Old Testament and the life of Jesus from the New Testament. In the Bible, Moses and Jesus have several similarities. First of all, Moses was the leader of the Hebrews as similar to Jesus was also the leader of the Hebrews. Both figures were almost killed by heartless leaders…

the Old Testament, we find many examples of God teaching his people. For instance, in the book of Genesis God teaches Adam and Eve about creation and how they are going to take care of the earth and all what it contains. in the book of Exodus, we see that God teaches his people through the Decalogue and the laws that he gives his people in order to help them form their hearts and minds. In addition, through his prophets, God also taught his people throughout the years. In the New Testament we…

Mark Chapter 7:25-30 Jesus helps a Phoenician woman. 8. Read Luke 7:1-10 Jesus heals a Roman Slave. 9. Why did Jesus heal non-Jews? 10. Where is your True Identity found? 11. Again if we have all these examples of Christ 's work why is the New Testament church of today still divided? 12. Does the church of today look like Jesus? 13. Why was Jesus sent into the World? 14. What and when was the occasion that Christ decided to start his church? 15. Read Acts 2:5-11 What happened that…

23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness”. The old man represents the corrupt nature with which all men enter this world (Horne, 1971, p 80). By “putting off “does not mean its destruction but its displacement from the center of control. The new man is the holy nature, wrought in the soul in regeneration (Horne, 1971, p 80). By “putting on” it is the exercise of the graces of which this new nature…

However, none of these men who spent time with Jesus chose to save their lives by denying their faith in Him. These men was showing zeal in the face of persecution (Jenkins, 2011). The martyr has let go of this world and embraced the new world that has been opened to him by the Lord, which is his final and eternal destiny (Kushiner, 2011). How did the death of the Peter a disciple of Jesus Christ reveal the missions and their methods and purposes of Christianity in the early church…

WHY WE SHOULD STUDY THE BOOK OF ROMANS One reason to study the book of Romans is found in 2 Timothy 2:15, which reads, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” It is very important for us to study the Scriptures. Reading the Scriptures is not merely a nice thing to do. It is not something we do simply to ease our conscience. Matthew 4:4 tells us, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on…

“Otherwise, what will those who are baptised for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, then why are they baptized for them?” 1 Corinthians 15:29. There have been several interpretations of this verse throughout the years, these have ranged from illogical to the refined, even now the Church of latter-day Saints (Mormons) in their religious doctrine still continue this practice of baptising for the Dead today. I contend that Paul possibly was not referring to the Church practicing this…

previously, is a letter, often called an epistle. It falls under the genre of hortatory and expository literature (Kostenberger 2011:780). According to Kostenberger, when referring to epistle literature, “it is here that we find the bulk of the New Testament instructions as to how we should live our lives as believers today” (2011:453). Thus, Romans 3:21-27, which makes up a section of the book of Romans, falls under the same genre as Romans. The passage being discussed takes place in the third…

Christianity was started from the Jewish religion, as Jesus and his twelve disciples were Jews. Christianity is based on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christians believe that Jesus was the messiah that was mentioned in the Old Testament and that he was to come to save mankind from their sins. The religion of Christianity spiked years after Christ was crucified. In this paper, I will discuss the reasons why Christianity flourished as a religion and how it has a huge impact…
