The Old Gringo

When John is baptizing The Lamb of God accompanies him and he knows this because he sees “the Spirit coming down and resting” (John 1:33) When he sees this in John 1: 29 he says, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” A lamb embodies moral characteristics that we can compare to Jesus. Jesus spends his time on earth doing all his deeds for our Father God. Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice by God, and for all of us. Jesus is the Lamb of God, he holds the characteristics of a…

“The Bible is a story of present hope for those who are discouraged, despondent, or have no purpose in life” (Towns, 2007). All those that read the Bible are pointed towards Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for the salvation of mankind. The Old Testament provides the foundation of hope for the coming of the birth of Christ and the New Testament fulfills the promises of God and inspires the hope of what is yet to come. Practical Application The practical application of hope is eternal life…

time, I question what changes will come about in the next 50 years, when I will be a part of this population. Currently, I am considered a double minority because of my race and gender; however, when I reach a certain age I will also be regarded as old. I am very curious to the lifestyle I will live during that time. This paper will focus on my reflection of what I learned so far and how that will impact my life when I am 75. Environment To begin, growing up I always heard the phrase, “you go…

Judaism and Christianity This week I am very happy to be reacting to the religions I feel most comfortable talking and holding discussions about. Due to my past education and personal experience with these religions, I felt it was much easier to form an opinion based on the readings and notes. There are so many important aspects to these religions and so much detail within them that could be focused on. I want to begin by answering the question talking about challenges with my own…

Most people have a personal dignity that should be respected. Some healthcare and home care institutions strip the elderly people of their dignity. In some cases, some caregivers and nurses use unprofessional language, when giving instructions to old people. especially if the care giver is a young person(Borenstein & Pearson 278). We know that human are social and they can not live on their own. Also we can not live with strangers people.The robots at the same time keep human dignity because…

oracle of the word of The Lord to Israel through Malachi”. Which meaning that the prophet Malachi wrote the book of Malachi and the words came from The Lord himself. The book of Malachi was written between 569 and 440 BC. Malachi is the last book in the Old Testament and was meant to show people how far away from God they really are. The first return from Babylonian exile the first time when Cyrus was king. Possibly the return of Haggai and Zechariah from Jerusalem. They prophesized that the…

Satan is the one who’s intent is to punish and cause people to blame God. I believe God’s severe punishment will occur during the Rapture. I do not believe that God punishes a group of people for the sins of a nation. This was an occurrence in the Old Testament, but today we are under a new covenant. Jesus Christ died so that we can be saved. He will punish the individuals for their own transgressions. Punishment is not the reason behind a natural disaster. Instead, God uses tragedies to reveal…

Varner talks about how most Jewish people overlook this part, because they only are interested in their own glory instead of the glory of Christ. He then addresses what a Messiah is, one who delivers a group, which in the old testament meant that the Messiah would deliver them away from evil and into good. This concept in itself is great, in fact it 's necessary, however what the Jews failed to see is that being saved requires you to sacrifice your heart to God, which also…
