Bible School Vacation Paper

The Bible in an Hour by Wade Butler splits the Bible up with four different charts. They all cover different parts of the bible. The first chart depicts the whole Bible from beginning to end. Charts two and three covers the themes of the Old Testament. Chart four covers the New Testament.

This belief goes beyond one or two religions; it is prevalent across all religions. Keeping this in mind, it will be helpful to outline a method for witnessing to adherents of folk religions. Phillip Samaan lists six steps to Christian Witnessing in his book, “Christ’s Way of Making Disciples.” However, these six steps are designed to witness to other Christians. To better serve the purpose of this paper, only five steps will be mentioned. These five steps will serve as a basis for witnessing to adherents to folk religions. This method has been effective because it was not contrived from human thought. Rather, it models exactly what Christ did. The first step Jesus took was to mingle with others as one who desires their good. Before even

The word “Christian” has been used extremely, and in some cases strangely, for over 2000 years. Historically, it was born in the ancient city of Antioch. There, according to Acts 11:26, “the disciples were first called Christians” (ESV). Since that first-century usage, “Christian” has defined religious groups & sects, armies, athletic endeavors, political parties, and a host of entities and ideas which probably would make those original disciples shake their heads in disbelief. “The Christian Vegetarian Association? Wouldn’t have dreamt it,” Peter could have told Paul, if they both spoke English.

In the Catholic faith, the Protestant belief of “sola scriptura” or “scripture alone” is to be used along with the Magisterial authority of those in the church such as the Pope and Bishops, which is a long standing belief from the church’s founding in 33 AD. The Protestant Bible and The Catholic Bible both use the same New Testament, which was defined by Athanasius in 367, but use a different Old Testament. The Protestant Old Testament is different than the Catholic Old Testament because of the history of the founding of the Protestant faith. The Protestant Old testament comes from the Hebrew Bible which was decided to have 24 books, with this canon being accepted at the Councils of Jamnia in 90-118 AD. (Coffman)

Everyone in the world believes in some kind of religion. Whether it’s Christianity, Buddhism, Muslim, Atheism, etc. Each one of those religions is so unique and so diverse in the fact that they all have different values, beliefs, morals, dialogue, actions, and more. That being said, I have chosen to observe and write about the discourse community of the modern day Christian church.

They had a social gospel which responded to problems in industrial society which fought for justice and an end to poverty. Women were educated and some even went to college. We know most women were teachers or nurses. They had reforming cities that had safe house's that were in poor neighborhoods and they could stay in these houses to learn about the area, have meetings and get free health care. They also had hull houses which were the second owned resident the government passed to better construction safety laws. There was an antibiotic saloon league that made a lot of kids and the wives go into poverty because of men drinking too much. They had democratizing trends that were initiated the referendum which allowed citizens control over the

While going through your senior year of high school you quickly begin to hate the questions; "What college are you going to?" and "What major are you planning on pursuing?" I got asked these questions countless times over the course of the past year. The first question, "What college are you going to?" was the easiest of them all. The very moment I stepped onto Butler's campus I knew it was the place I was meant to be. And while I thought the second question, "What major are you planning on declaring?" was also a simple question to answer, I soon found my once easy answer of being a pharmacy major was slipping through my fingertips once I moved in and was an official bulldog. Everything I had planned for myself was quickly disappearing into

Vacation Bible school is ending at Morris Brown AME Church as the clock strikes 7:30 p.m. on June 17, 2015. Anxious to take their pick from hot dogs, chips, lemon cakes and sodas, children scurry to the fellowship hall.

There are many people who are unaware of the Ten Commandments and Sermon on the Mount, the differences and similarities they share. I will present the information for both. The information presented with give insight on what they contain and who was responsible for the teachings. The 10 Commandments were given to Moses by God to teach the people. The Sermon on the Mount was spoken word by Jesus, given to his disciples. God was not seen when giving the commandments to the people, whereas, Jesus was seen by the people and performed miracles. With these two differences we see the changes over the years since the first set of commandments were given. The 10 commandments were seen as way to teach people the things that should not be done. The Sermon

Issues that are related to gender, heritage, sexuality and religion have been some of the leading controversies of Catholicism for decades. Whether it is the sexualization of women, the overuse of power by men, or the stereotypical gender roles, the problems we see in the readings from the bible are problems that we often can relate to even in the 21st century. The three passages from the New Testament that I will examine in this paper all contain examples of how the bible has influenced and shaped our world and the Catholic Church today.

The case of Abraham: In Genesis 12 (4), God’s servant, Abraham was in the country of Haran, where he had accumulated wealth. God commanded him to move, along with his wealth, and build an alter at Shechem. He obeyed, moved, built a tent, an alter and re-settled from Shechem to Egypt to escape famine. Abraham did sit down to enjoy, when he received God’s blessings and wealth. He performed entrepreneurial activities by hiring shepherds, finding grasslands for the sheep, paying the shepherds, ensuring increase in the number of his sheep and offering one to God before God told him to offer his only son Isaac.

Once I read through Psalm 19, I realized that God is the only almighty one who created the beautiful world we are living in now and I noticed God also loves the beauty, as He is beautiful. Even though it happens not always, I enjoy living here at now when I see a lot of incredible sightseeing, stars, night, morning sunshine, and sky, which God created. Further, the more I am getting to know how the star or moon is being created, it wows me so much more than I can expect and I could not agree more that God is the only one who I must believe and trust.

The one thing that I wish we could have done was have more time with the kids. We did not get enough time to do all of are lesson. We got to do four of the lessons, the paper sun, the coloring worksheet, a exercise, and don’t let the beach ball touch the group.

Christian Tradition course exposed me to the Christian Tradition based on Biblical and church history. The course taught me the differences and similarities of Christian Tradition from other major world religions. I learned about the significance of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Trinity based on the teachings of the Bible. The course also briefly covered 2,000 years of church history but with emphasis on the impact of the Council of Nicea, Council of Chalcedon, and John and Charles Wesley on Christianity. The professor emphasized the importance of the reformation that sparked a revolution in the church.
