northeastern part of the state of New Jersey (essexcounty.org, 2016). There, I completed an observation on the atmosphere, the diverse population entering the facility, how the staff reacted to their customers, and gave careful consideration on somethings this division could enhance. This paper will include a detailed overview of my experience when visiting this department. I decided to car pool with one of my classmates because I was told parking was very limited. Once we arrived to downtown…
that Abraham and his household leave along with their goods immediately when Abraham was aged ninety nine years, his name was declared by God to mean the father of many nations. Abraham was given instructions for the new covenant with circumcision being the sign. Formerly Sarai, Sarah's new name was declared blessing her with a promise of bearing a son with Abraham. At this time, Abraham was aged ninety-nine while Sarah was ninety years. Abraham's entire household was circumcised including…
the gold rush 146 Greeks migrated to Victoria to mine for gold.

3. 1 Timothy 4:8b-9 "But godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation." This saying is of a different "sort of proverbial maxim" according to Eugene Stock, author of Practical Truths from the Pastoral Epistles. This saying is often debated whether or not to include verses 7 and 8a. For this passage, it makes sense that Paul would not make an important statement about the…
Genesis 34 is a passage filled with sin. Contextually one might question the characters action and ponder their lawfulness. However it's not the law that we live by that dictates and predates these actions. There is no divine sanction for the acts of Simeon and Levi (Jacob's 2nd and 3rd sons respectively). Remember the tragedies that take place in this chapter and the confusing morals all stem from the concept of compromise whether fulfilled or not. I write the paper as a testament of my…
The Doctrine of Atonement is perhaps one of the most fundamental beliefs of Christianity. There are many conflicting and similar views held by great theological thinkers of the atonement. In this paper we will discuss the views held by Wesleyan-Armenian’s, Calvinists, and several liberal on the doctrine of atonement. There are many complex ideas and doctrines that also tie into the doctrine of atonement that also need to be explained in depth such as the wrath of God, forgiveness of sins, and…

Some are so severe they can destroy a home, entire neighborhoods,…
But focus on wealth and power is by no means limited to the Catholic Church. Protestants have also compromised their mission with wealth, power and corruption. The high profile recent case involving Jimmy Baker, the former leader of the PTL club on the Pat Robertson Christian Broadcasting Network, stands…
There is a tendency in popular discourse to speak about God, from the New Testament, as a merciful and kind figure. With The Old Testament, however, God is represented very differently. Throughout many moments in the Bible, God is merciful and kind, while in others, he is hot-tempered, impulsive, and cruel. These drastically different representations of God in the Old Testament are especially evident in the relationships between God and his prophets. In Adam’s story in Genesis, God’s…
(24): Based on Bruce’s commentary he explains, “This section of the Sermon inculcates a freedom from anxiety, rising from implicit confidence in a heavenly Father’s love and care…’mammon is an Aramaic word, etymologically denoting in which men put their trust, but in practice standing for material gain, which can so easily take the central place in life that is due to God alone” God doesn’t want us to have two different masters or idols because they will rule us, we will not know which to turn…
