Hi, welcome to my biblical news and I will be your news reporter for today. We are going to go over three verses of the bible that use the same word but in a different context. The first verse is 1st Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so, shall we ever be with the Lord. Paul is the author of Thessalonians, and scholars will approximately say it is written in between 49 and 51 AD. The Thessalonian church was based on Thessalonica which was the proud capital of the Roman province of Macedonia and has a population of over 100,00 people. Religiously, the city was committed to the Greco-Roman pantheon and the imperial cult, and Egyptian cults …show more content…

As we can see the word caught up is used in a different context. It is not talking about taking perter to heaven, but taking a hold of Peter fell. As well this verse has no relation to the previous verse, for the gospel of Matthew is written for the Jews. The gospel of Matthew approximately written between 50 and 60 Ad. Matthew writes the gospel to let the Jews understand that Jesus is messianic identity and the completes the prophecies of the old testament. The literature of the gospel is a narrative or story. It talks about the birth story, calling or vocation stories, miracle stories, parables pronouncement stories, encounter stories, passion stories, and resurrection stories. The book is also well organized and it is categorized as a gospel. The social context of the verse is at the sea of Galilee.

The lake itself is 700 feet below the Mediterranean Sea, the boat most likely they were in was a Galilean fishing boat, it could hold 15 men, and was 26.5 feet long, 7.5 feet wide, and 4.5 feet

The stories presented in the reading represent not only an idea of deliverance to the people that read the stories at the time of or shortly after the time of writing, but have relevance to people everyone and everywhere. This is because the stories are manipulated in ways that then present a group as the “good guys” in the story, strengthening their position or cause. This has real-life political and social consequences, and also is indicative of the need to make stories about ourselves, to see ourselves in the “good guys.” One particularly utilized example is the reclamation of the story of Exodus. It repeats itself throughout the Gospel, to the point of Northrop Frye declaring it an archetype.

1. One literary genre from the Old Testament is an allegory. An allegory is an extended comparison where many elements of a story stand for deeper realities like abstract idea, moral qualities, or spiritual realities. An example of this is in Paul's Letter to the Galatians, the story of Sarah and Hagar (Genesis 16:1-6) is interpreted allegorically (Gal 4:21-24). Paul treats Hagar's son Ishmael as an allegorical representation of the fleshly children of Abraham, and Sarah's son Isaac as an allegorical representation of the spiritual children of Abraham, the "children of the promise.

IM #8 John 15:1-11 Genre: The genre of John is a narrative literature or more specifically, good news. Since the gospels are narrative, we need to empathize the broader context. Taking verses out of context distorts the view of the message and may even prevent the meaning. This means that some of the historical and cultural background information is important. Therefore, when reading a chapter of John, we must take into account the surrounding chapters and even the book itself.

The gospel has a wide variety of messages throughout the text, while a specific example can be related to marriage. In the book of Genesis, chapter 2, verse 24, it said, “Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.   The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”  That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh,” (Bible).

Christianity believes that ethical decisions, are absolutes that are defined by God, in which he has given everyone a conscious to deceiver what is right and wrong, which is taught in the Bible. The Bible is the only source in which God communicates with his people, and where he tells them of absolute truths, as stated in 2 Timothy 3:16 ‘All Scripture is given by inspiration of God’. This statement then clarifies to Christianity that God’s recorded laws in the Bible, are based of the real world and are rules for human life, as they are made from his character. In Malachi 3:6 it states ‘I am lord, I do not change’ and in 1 Peter 1:23 it also states ‘The word of God . . . lives and abides forever’, which highlights and reaffirms that Gods laws

While the other gospels emphasize the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven, John instead emphasizes new life found in Jesus. It’s from John that we get Christ’s famous claim “I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me” -John 14:6. Jesus frequently uses metaphors to hint at his identity. John records more of these analogies than any other gospel, giving us some of the most famous word pictures for Christ.
