Psalms

Jeremiah 23:29 “Is not my word like a hammer” Psalm 42:1 “As the deer pants for the streams of water” 1 Peter 1:24 “All flesh are like grass” • Metaphor: an unexpressed or implied comparison describing one thing in terms of something else. Luke 12:32 The disciples are a “little flock” Psalm 23:1 “The Lord is my shepherd” Isaiah 40:6 “All flesh is grass” • Look for the single authorial-intended meaning in the comparison by chiefly noting context. EXAMPLE: Psalm 1:3 “Like a tree” is…

In Fee chapter ten he is explaining how we should read and interpret the covenant that was given to Israel. There are four major prophets and there is a number of minor prophets. Prophecy is typically misunderstood by the function and form. Fee also explains that the prophets primarily gave prophecy which was to speak for God to his people. Another issue we have when we read prophecy in the Old Covenant is because of the historical distance. Typically, prophecy was written in Hebrew poetry. Fee…

closeness with God in learning more about His ways and gaining knowledge. Psalm 9 can encourage Activists in their relationship with God, speaking about just causes and divine judgement (v. 3-10) .

"The Greek transliteration of Golgatha is the Aramaic word for the skull" and in Latin, the word skull is "calvaria" which in English means calvary (Mitch and Sri, 358).Called Golgatha because there were rocks that formed a structure that resembled a skull, symbolizing death because it was an execution site (Mitch and Sri, 358).Before crucifixion, the wine was offered to lessen the pain, but the same soldiers who mocked Jesus with the crown of thorns put a poison called gall in the wine that…

1. This course helped me better understand the relationship of Christian beliefs and values to the discipline area of the course. Medical examination/diagnosis focuses on, the determination of the reason for an ailment by the joined utilization of physical examination, patient history, lab tests, image study. On the other hand, Christian belief revolves around religion and spirituality. Religion and spiritual convictions assume an essential part for some patients. At the point…

various area of the Old Testament. For example, in Psalm 1, the blessed person is seen as one who delights in the “law" or direction of Yahweh and thinks upon what it says day and night. The insights into the character of God or the attributes of people who accomplished great things with God highlighted throughout the Old Testament will also be illustrated. Furthermore, the comparison and contrast of the two different types of people discussed in Psalm 1 and how this same idea is played out in…

Donald Trump’s behavior is extreme, to the point that he has essentially become a caricature of himself. Case in point is his relentless boasting. Recall what I stated earlier about self-focus and simplicity. Self-focused people are frankly...boring. Watching an unscripted speech by Trump is, for me, the equivalent of drinking raw eggs -- nauseating. Listen to him when he begins speaking. If he doesn’t immediately plunge right into boasting, give him a minute or two – it will come. It would be…

God in The Bible In the Bible, there are many stories that show what God is like. God can really be anything, but the verses I want to touch on to explain what God is like are Genesis 18:16-33, Deuteronomy 32:10-18, Psalms 37, John 1, and Luke 13:22-35. In Genesis 18:16-33 God is judgmental and compassionate. God wants to go down to Sodom and Gomorrah to see what they have done. Abraham then asks God, “will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there are fifty righteous…

The concept that all Christians and majority of religions can usually agree upon is that if their is a grand creator that was able to create our existence he would in fact be considered immeasurable powerful. Though if you dig deeper about the attributes of God and what he represents then many different answers will start appearing especially from the Christian-World view. It seems that their are two possible answers when trying to understand God and who he is. The first belief of God is from…

The act of translation is an inherently derivative act, while simultaneously giving the author a new agency over the material. The translator becomes the new works author, in this case a translation of the Psalms of David translated by Anne Locke. The piece was distributed anonymously, so the credibility of the author’s work cannot lie with reputation, but with literary talent. An author can prove their intellect and the importance of their work to the audience through alluding to classical…
