The theme for our MMVS elocution this year is taken from the book of Revelations, chapter 13, verse 10 – “Call for the endurance and faith of the saints”. While preparing for the elocution, I realized that this verse was taken from the International Standard Version of the Bible. I checked other versions of the Holy Bible for this particular verse and realized that different versions had different words for this particular verse. Orthodox Study Bible used the words patience and the faith of the saints, New American Standard Bible used perseverance and the faith of the saints, while the New International Version used patient endurance and faithfulness. While pondering over these verses, at first I thought that they were just different words
Ellen Gerstner Professor Pruett-Davis Religion 103-14 25 September 2015 In Reading the Bible Again for the First Time, Borg reveals both the human and divine aspects of the Bible. Without biases, Borg comes to the logical conclusion that the Bible is a human product and the reasons for this will be addressed below. My preconceived belief that the Bible is both human and divine has been changed through Borg 's compelling argument, which states that it is necessary to see the Bible as either thoroughly human or divine. Before coming to the conclusion that the Bible is thoroughly human, Borg points out the opposing side and how its argument can be disproven.
The first part explains that without Jesus, we are dead for our sins and deserving of God’s punishment. The second part introduces the Gospel. Because God is full of grace and mercy, we are saved from what we justly deserve. Lastly, the third part states that we are saved by the gifts of grace and faith (sola gratia and sola fide). Therefore, we have salvation, we must live a sanctified life with Christ’s assistance (Rydelnik et al., 2014, Ephesians 2:1-10).
The resurrection has not yet occurred which reunites them with their bodies (I Cor. 15:42–49). Men have died for many things throughout the ages, but these are the most noble of all, for they have sacrificed their lives “for the word of God” and their “witness” for Jesus. The “word of God” is a phrase meaning the message preached and taught by the early church and includes the gospel. 6:10 THEY CRIED OUT WITH A LOUD VOICE, Here we learn their prayer.
1 Corinthians the thirteen chapter is a description of Christ himself. Some believed that Paul composed this passage by thinking about Jesus himself. In this chapter, if you take away love and plug-in Christ you will see what Paul meant. Christ is patient and kind. He is not jealous.
The overview of Chapter 21 talks about the role, Pharisees, Sadducees, the priest and the Roman government played in the execution of Jesus the messiah. In responding to the question on who is responsible for the death of Jesus. One can see from young’s explanation the two most prominent parties that were involved in the death of Jesus was the roman government and the Jews. The reason why the Pharisees were excluded from playing part in the death of Jesus is that they have in some case as cited by the scriptures saved Jesus from death so many cases.
Genesis 12:1 The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.” Abraham God’s calling of Abraham to move out of Ur in faith Moving and Land Abraham moving where God wants him. There is emphasis on moving by faith.
Paper 2: Basic Biblical Christianity Summary Paper God is the ultimate Creator of heaven and earth. He is three persons in one; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit – the Holy Trinity in which all things are possible. He is the ruler of all things visible and invisible, and “all things have been created through Him and for Him” (Colossians 1:16). There are mysteries of God and His power that will never be fully understood by man; but His grace, His mercy, and His love are recognized by His countless blessings and by the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. The sinful nature of man corrupted God’s plan and intention of His creation, yet
According to Frigge, 163, whoever the author of Gospel of Mark, he had familiarity with Roman world and sense of mission to the Gentiles and therefore the book was written before the destruction of the second temple in 70 CE (163). Hurst 1997-2013 states that “Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter wrote the Gospel of Mark which is the simplest, shortest, stories and most direct presentation of Jesus’ life written in common language of market place” Mark cultural background was similar to that of Jesus because we know that Joseph was a carpenter and Mark uses market place language to write to his audience. This was the language that his audience understood and that Mark as a writer was accustomed to. He introduces the gospel as good news to the people who had gone through a lot of suffering and agony in an attempt to heal their soul.
The Gospel of John positions love as the building block for what sets everything in motion. According to this gospel, love is resembled as the quintessence of God, and those who love Jesus will reap the benefits. Plans and agendas, don't work out well for those who do not love Jesus. God's most important gift to mankind is His love through Jesus Christ. This is a message that the world needs to hear and that witnesses must proclaim.
The Bible The word “Bible” comes from the Latin and Greek words meaning book. To many people the Bible is just another book filled with wise quotes and advice. The word “holy” means sacred, sanctified, or set apart and when the two words holy and Bible are put together, it is a book that is sacred and set apart from all other books. The Bible is fully inspired by God.
The Gospel of John is filled with metaphors and analogies, which Jesus uses to communicate his message of salvation and repentance and explain his role as ‘the son’. One notable thing about these metaphors is the way that they compare salvation and faith to material needs and goods, and the way that the common people, who Jesus is preaching to, fail to understand them and instead take them literally. I believe that this demonstrates one of the main concerns of Jesus’ message: that most people only understood materialism and could not even begin to fathom faith and spirituality, and how detrimental this was to them. Early on in the Gospel of John, Jesus meets Nicodemus, a religious authority from among the Pharisees. Jesus tells him that “unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God” (3:3)
“Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?” [28] So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly
