Psalm 51

states that this idea is foreign in the theology and the narrative of the Holy Scriptures. Furthermore, Brunner says that Augustine based this theory on two verses of the Bible. First of all, Psalms 51:5, where David states the words: “Indeed, I was born guilty, a sinner when my mother conceived me.” (Ps. 51:5; [NRSV]). Which simply should be translated from the Hebrew “I am a sinful son of a sinful mother.”11 This particular interpretation of the Greek dismisses the idea that sin is past on at…

distress as a child growing up with the feeling of abandonment, insecurity and neglect. I felt my love ones had no logical reasoning for allowing me to grow into an adult feeling these type damaging emotions and cognitive illusions. According to Psalm 51:10 “Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.” My interpersonal relationships were with people with the same dysfunctional backgrounds. Family values based on selfless principles, support and encouragement is my…

celebration, but the weeping and gnashing of teeth suggest more regret, pain, anguish, and perhaps even anger. We may also note that the book of Matthew records this phrase five other times, and the book of Luke includes it once (Matt 8:12; 13:42, 50; 24:51; 25:30; Lk 13:28). In each of these places, Jesus is the person to use the phrase, and he always uses it in relation to judgment for wickedness. With these references as a background, we may conclude that the final setting in the story,…

life. Pope John Paul II said in Washington that from conception, everything is considered human life since the earliest moment of fertilization (Paul, J 1979). Christians often cite Psalm 51:6 which states, "Surely I have been a sinner from birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me” (Old Testament, Psalm 51:6). Luke 1:15 states, “he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from birth or from his mother 's womb (King James Version, Luke 1:15). This suggests that some religions such as…

is the process by which particles escape from the surface of a non-boiling liquid and enter the gas state. The source of evaporation is rivers, lakes, and oceans, which cover about 75% of the earth’s surface. God’s word describes this in Jeremiah 51:16 “When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.” Since the beginning, this phenomenon had been part of God’s…

The sacred nature of womanhood is one that is deeply saturated with biblical, canonical, and cultural implications; the value of an individual woman during the Victorian Era was not determined so much by individual qualities, but rather piety and ability to fall gracefully into her determined social station. Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre has been examined by literary critics ad nauseam for its feminist qualities, racial implications, and social commentary. Moreover, when considering Jane Eyre,…

with action. It is in God’s discussion with Job that He reveals that He provides for animals and that he appointed their place in creation. (Job 38:39-41, 39:6) It is in Psalm 148 that the psalmist calls everything to praise the Lord including sea monsters, beasts, cattle, creeping things and birds (Psalm 148: 7, 10). In Psalm 150:6, the psalmist writes “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!” (Ps. 150:6). Even though they don’t do so with words, animals still…

Arius lived in Alexandria and was a presbyter (Bingham 2002, 46). His interpretation of Bible verses such as Proverbs 8:22, Psalms 45:7-8, and John 1:14,18 (Bingham 2002, 46) just to name a few was “that God the Father had created the preexistent Son out of nothing; the Son was therefore different from the Father and inferior to him” (Grant 1975, 2). Alexandria’s bishop, Alexander…

This paper explores how understanding my own personality impacts my motivation, decisions, communication skills, and leadership and team skills.

time, space, and power. God has many attributes that set Him apart from His creation. God is spirit; therefore, He is not confined to a physical being (John 4:24, Acts 17:24-25). God is infinite and eternal (Psalm 90:1-2). He is all-powerful and knowing (Genesis 17:1; Jeremiah 32:17; Psalm 139:1-4; Romans 11:33-34) He also shares many characteristics with…
