I want to talk with you about the Bible. I think the Bible is a very interesting subject because it is such a worldwide book, everybody has their own idea about the Bible. Maybe you can think of your own thoughts on the Bible. Some say it is a book of God. Still, others say it is just a book written by humans many years ago. I wanted to dig deep to see what the facts are about this book that many have devoted their life to, The Book of God. The Bible itself says that it is inspired by God but to…

Defining Congregational Worship The polemic surely has a clear-cut definition of congregational worship for music to be so abstractly removed from it a priori. If this definition is tested lexically against scripture, however, we find that it cannot stand, and the premise defeated. Whale believed that “worship is the only sufficient evidence of living religion” and Luther famously said habere deum est colere deum, or “to believe in God is to go down on your knees.” For such bold assertions to…

Tammy, I totally agree with your explanation. To expound on it, the Michelson’s separate hermeneutics and exegesis to help correct, from what I see, the inexperienced study scripture. The context of a particular writing and its form can say a lot about a passage. I am taking the Psalms class here at Regent and have to say that different forms of writing make a difference. I am not saying that the inexperienced reader cannot gather great information and learn the truth of God, however, when it…

I have decided to pick “this little light of mine” and “stand by me” I know they both relate because they’re both gospels. I picked this little light of mine because I grew up listening to this song and always liked it. I can relate because I know no matter what I gave in life I got to shine. Also in this little light of mine they basically saying God is shining his light through them. No matter where you go or do let God use his light in you. So with stand by me it’s the kind of the same thing.…

scriptures explain that He is talking about the false teachings of the religious leaders. We also see this again in the Book of Matthew where Jesus is rebuking the religious leaders. (Matt. 23 1-39). It is important to note that the Pharisees and religious leaders during that time were teaching false doctrines and not the Word of God. They were self-seeking men who were righteous in their own eyes. They were the religious leaders and the blind leading the blind. These leaders liked to…

from his Oxford school in 1662 for refusing to follow to the Anglican Church rules. He chose to hold church services in his room which caused a rift. As well as the school, his father didn’t approve of this and beat him for it. Penn joined the Religious Society five years later known as the Quaker religion. While participating, he went to jail several times for resisting the Church of England. At that time, Friends, commonly called "Quakers," were subject to official persecution which is what…

The importance of Egyptian religious beliefs associated with the privileged lives of the Deir el-medina’s is further acknowledged through the illustrations and the valuable artefacts found in workers tombs. Throughout the history of the place more than the kings, the villager’s role and their tombs have been the predominant focus throughout time. One of the major archaeological discoveries in the village is the Kha and Meryt tomb, which was found in 1906 by Ernesto Schiaparelli. This fascinating…

The different ways language is expressed throughout the world has many expressions of how we do things in the world. Language can be defined in many ways. The book “World Religions” defines language as the following “we use language to convey facts, give directives, express opinions, and to declare…

later on, thus rendering the Bible untrustworthy, and leaving the need for another sacred book (in this case, the Qur’an). When considering why Muslims use another book for their religious instruction, many ponder upon passages like Galatians 1:6-9, 2 Timothy 3:16, 17, and 2 Peter 1:3, and wonder how any kind of religious group could even try getting away with saying they agree with the Bible, while adding another “sacred” text. Well, Muhammad successfully (in the sense of his deceiving of his…
