The author Ronald Youngblood observed the preface of the Old Treatment in the book, The Heart of the Old Testament by demonstrating the basic outline of the Scriptures is to trace the development of certain key ideas from one end of the Bible to the other. This book serves a great purpose that lays out nine themes that constitute the heart of the Old Testament. The nine themes are monotheism, sovereignty, election, covenant, theocracy, law, sacrifice, faith, and redemption. Dr. Ron Youngblood has achieved his purpose in an admirable layout before us the heart of the Old Testament in a careful and practical manner. Dr. Youngblood links the key theological strands of the Old Testament to the New in a style that is biblically sound, highly readable,
Brittney Chow Professor Kinnison Bible 300 14 September 2017 “Analysis of Chapter 4 of Seven Events That Shaped the New Testament World” By the first century BCE, Rome has become a superpower amongst other empires. Rome has made it’s way to one of the top political, military, and economic powers. In 63 BCE, Rome takes control of Judea.
In John 14:25 Jesus tells his disciples of the Holy Spirit and that he is a part of God in them. God gives us the Holy Spirit to help tell us the truth of God and the world. Without the Holy Spirit we would not be able to have the truth of life on our sides. In this I believe that Genesis 1-11 is historically accurate because of the genealogy, places, how the New Testament points to the Old Testament and how God can reveal to us. Genealogy is something that is really important in a historical sense.
When talking about the bible it is not important to reach the conclusion on the conversation it is important to start the conversation. Interpretation of the bible needs to be an open mind. Some people are going to think differently of the bible than you; but you have to keep an open mind because there is no right or wrong answer. You also have to forget what everyone else is telling you about the bible to be able to have your view and interpret what you think of it with the opinion of other people. The bible does not only have one view and as Brueggemann states, “The Bible requires human interpretation which is inescapably subjective.”
I enjoyed very much all the good points mentioned in your discussion board regarding the Bible. I do believe that, it is important to learn the history, meaning and behind God’s plan for the Bible in our regular day lives. In the meantime, I would like to highlight the fact that, nevertheless, the Bible is all God’s Word, but, it is also good, in order to better appreciate, that Christians study other scriptures such as Old and New Testament, Gospel, the Psalms, Proverbs, Wisdom, and so forth. There are differences about the scriptures, for example, the Bible describes God’s word to us, whereas the psalms, are prayers written to God as poetry is set to music. As stated in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable
The Bible is an extensive and challenging book that differs from all of the other books. It consists of several scriptures, that are very different in the scope, purpose and content. Therefore we must read them in a different way compared to the rest of the literature. 2. The Bible was put together in thousands of years.
The Bible is saturated with knowledge and we are able to understand what it means. We have a duty to study the Bible in its entirety, meaning we have no right to leave nothing out in our studies of the Bible. As we dive into the prosperous word of God we should approach it with an open heart and an eagerness to learn all we can from it. The Old testament is treated like Revelation at times. We feel as if it’s not needed to study those books of the Bible in our lives.
If the Bible was false, then the hundreds of eyewitnesses would have disproved the Bible soon after it was written. The Bible was copied with almost near perfection, minus a few errors that were inevitable, since they were human. The Hebrew copying process leaves little room for error with rules such as; if a single letter was added or deleted,
This being the case, Five Views on Biblical Inerrancy is a book on the doctrine of inerrancy where five Christian scholars, R. Albert Mohler Jr., Peter Enns, Michael F. Bird, Kevin J. Vanhoozer, and John R. Franke discuss their various perspectives on biblical inerrancy, narrowing the focus on four significant issues – (1) God and his relationship to his creatures, (2) the doctrine of inspiration, (3) the nature of scripture, and (4) the nature of truth (Merrick & Garrett, 2013, p. 22). SUMMARY For the interest of this paper, I chose the first chapter titled “When the Bible speaks, God speaks: The Classic Doctrine of Biblical Inerrancy” (Mohler, 2013, p. 29) by R. Albert Mohler Jr. who asserts that the evangelical faith would become indistinct without the doctrine of inerrancy and thus crucial. Mohler is basically quite straightforward and outspoken about his position that “there is little basis for any hope that evangelicals will remain
According to the NCVS, about 51% of violent crimes are reported and 39% of property crimes are. For violent crimes, 50% of rapes and sexual assault is reported to the police. 58% of robberies are also reported. For property crimes, 58.8 % is reported and for theft 31.4% is. I feel like violent crimes are more likely to be reported because of the type of crime it is.
King James became one of the most influential people when he wrote the King James Version of the Bible in the 1600s. The content of the Bible is life changing because of its inherency and being the infallible word of God, but this translation has been monumental in its pervasive style of writing . The King James Version of the Bible has influenced authors in both content and writing style. The content of many famous and influential books in literature have much of its content from from the King James Version of the Bible.
