106. Tabernacle But Has Sealed The Tabernacle That He Lives

This bible verse has been commonly used throughout history to try to justify slavery and racism. Not surprisingly, the allusion is often portrayed through the youngest, and most ignorant member of the family, Ruth May. While she is not belligerently ignorant like her father,

symbolized in the ritual of communion. When she tells the man to drink her milk she

The Holy Spirit is there to patiently wait for us to navigate our way into the holiness of God through not only a renewed mind, but a made-up-mind as well. Daily crucifying the flesh is the responsibility of every believer; but because the relationship with the divine keeping agent (the Holy Spirit) is non-existent, the false prophet is sucked into the vortex of lust, from which there is no deliverance.

to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you,to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears,and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters." Genghis Khan, much like the Hebrew Bible during certain points, regards women as objects. However, to write the Hebrew Bible off as fully misogynistic would not do the ancient texts justice. From Genesis to Judges 2, the Hebrew Bible objectifies women, uses them as scapegoats, but during certain points rises them to the level of highly admired Prophets and warriors. This essay attempts to explore the various undertones of femininity depicted throughout the Hebrew Bible.

After an extended period of mourning, her father asked her why she would not remove her veil, for surely "the woman...led you into wickedness. How long will you mourn her, who deserves no mourning?" to which the girl replied, "It is my own...sin that I mourn." From then on she slunk about in rags and with ashes covering her face, forgotten by most everyone, and always sitting by the hearth, refusing to wash up, for she was "glad to be humble before God and men."

The King however yelled at her, accusing her of adultery and witchcraft. I was ordered to dispose of this creature, this demon. So in the most Christian of ways that I could, in order to save its soul, I burnt the child on a cross after blessing it with holy water. I recited the Lord’s Prayer and blessed the child so that it may be free from its mother’s and father’s sins.

These two statements are very important because they are the backbone of the whole book. These are the strongest parts that support the women she is. She is so hand in hand with God that she doesn’t even once criticize the reasons she’s in captive but as I have stated before, she blames herself for not praying enough. In the sixth remove she explains her circumstance, her being surrounded by her former enemies amidst no Christians at all but herself. She exclaims, “Oh the experience that I have had of the goodness of God, to me and mine!” Without any form of disbelief she praises the kindness of God. The beauty of her relationship with God is that she mentions no matter what kind of situation she is in whether it be near death or with luxuries. And she sees every good thing that happens to her as a sign of God. To sum it up, everything that has happened to her was pre-planned and the grace of God.

It also follows the story of Nicodemus who came to Jesus in the night and was taught about being born again. Nicodemus was a Pharisee and was referred to as “a ruler of the Jews”(he was a member of the Sanhedrin). Whereas, the woman was just that, a woman, without a husband and a Samaritan––who were even more despised by the Jews. She went to get water at the well in the middle of the day when it was the hottest because that’s when no one else would be there. She met Jesus when it was light, whereas, Nicodemus came in the night. Both were alone with Jesus, but Nicodemus went in the night to hide because he was ashamed of being seen with Jesus. The woman had no intention of hiding, in fact she didn’t even know who Jesus was.

One major idea that this article discusses is that lying is not looked down upon as long as it is done for the right reasons. If a weaker group uses deception to gain an advantage over a stronger group, they are not punished but instead praised and defended. However, it is not acceptable if a stronger power uses sneaky measures to hinder a weaker power. The association between women and lying is so commonly made because of the fact that women were inferior to men in biblical times, thus making their deceptive measures acceptable in the sight of others, especially God. Deception appears to be a commonly used tool by women in the Old Testament and this article examines the condemnation of their actions as well as the defense of their actions.

I, your well-respected minister, intrude on your time with well-wishes. In this time of trials and tribulation I beg of you to not resort to bitterness, but to resort to God’s word. Widow Hester Prynne has been a standing member of our society for two years now, earning her place as a wonderful seamstress. Up until the time of her sin Widow Hester was a reputable member of our community, and I beg of you now to not change your opinion on her. In a moment of weakness Widow Hester sinned, and now I rouse you to support her. As the Bible says in Psalms chapter sixty-eight verse five “He is a Father of the fatherless, and a Judge of the widows, even God in his holy habitation”. Instead of tearing Widow Hester down, I encourage our community to

violent things she had endured. She always talks to God asking him to give her

By physically seeing Jesus, it gave her an even stronger conformation that the experiences were valid and not from her imagination. The beauty was too indescribable not to be genuine. When she was questioned, she defended herself by saying,

It was high noon on a hot day. Jesus, tired from traveling, chose to rest at Jacob's well near the town of Sychar, while waiting for His disciples to go into town for food. An unnamed Samaritan woman came to draw water at a well. She hated facing others because the Jews despised her people, and she was an outcast looked down upon even by her own people. This woman was ostracized and marked as immoral, an unmarried woman living openly with the sixth in a series of men. She could not have guessed the surprise she was about to encounter that day.

The Montgomery news story, Pamela Christensen, attempted to kill her three daughters. Like Lucas, she made a poisonous liquid to subdue her children, however, the children refused. The mom stabbed two of her daughters and herself. The dynamic in Genesis 22 is significantly different from the family dynamic in the news stories. This is a result of the cultural differences and the issues of irrational behaviors in the two families.

And the Pharisees watched Jesus, to see if He would heal this man on the Sabbath, that they might bring a charge against Him of breaking the law. They asked Him, "Is
