1. Many people and events of the Old Testament are critical to the understanding of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The story of Abraham helps reveal an important message about Jesus through Abraham’s covenant with God.

David also reveals an important facet of Jesus through his covenant with God. Part of the covenant…

cared deeply about, but she knew they could never be together. Adaline was a woman who lost her husband during the making of the Golden Gate bridge. After the fact of her husband dying it was not long before Adaline at the age of twenty-eight years old got in a car wreck that sent her flying into a frozen lake. The water was so cold it nearly killed her instantly but, within those few seconds a bolt of lightning shot from the sky into the water where she was and this then brought her back to…

As a believer in Christ, it is the root belief that God is actively involved in His creation. Even when mankind fell into sin, God made a plan to redeem his children by sending his Son Jesus to die on the cross for everyone’s sins. I believe that God is actively involved in life thru the Holy Spirit. As Christ followers, there is a desire to please God by showing His love and kindness to others. It is by Christ’s example that sets us apart from the world. As of now I do now know exactly what my…

this comes with two suggestions that suggest a caution and concern. The caution is that the prophet is a foreteller and the concern is that the prophecy in the new testament differ from the ones in the old testament.

When we hear the word discrimination, what do we usually think of? When I hear the word discrimination what comes to my mind is racial discrimination. Race is not the only thing that gets discriminated against. There is also gender discrimination and a thing called ageism. Ageism is the discrimination on a basis of a person’s age, but why should we care? Well, According to research done by Byron et al.

the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are “in accordance with the scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15.3-4). While Paul is directly referencing the prophecies of Jesus, he is also alluding to greater themes within Israel’s Scriptures. Throughout the Old Testament, there are many prophecies and references to the coming of a Messiah. Isaiah has several prophecies about Jesus. In Isaiah 53, he has “borne our griefs and carried our sorrows” (Isaiah 53.4). It is interesting to note that griefs…

because everyone is different and they have a different relationship with the text. Although I disagree with Carvalhos interpretation, I know that neither her nor I will ever know the right interpretation to the passage, but from my experience with the Old and New testament I have come to the conclusion that both books are linked together by these prophecies and their…

human history. There are the number of people who one aged 60 years old and over has tripled since 1950. It is believed that the senior and geriatric population will reach 2.1 billion by 2050 (Clayton, 88). As a consequence, aging global population influences the structure of the population, the structure of society and labour force causing. Aging population is widespread across the world. The…

impression formation, generating implicit stereotypes and biases against another person. Age is one of these factors that can lead to an unconscious bias towards an individual. We hypothesized that students’ impressions of the young James and the old James would vary due to the difference in their ages, and that students would form a better impression of young James. Our participants included 203 University of Pittsburgh Research Methods students, 143 of them being females. Participants were…
