Biblical Bible And The Bible

The book of Revelation was written by the apostle John, in an apocalyptic literature style. It consists of a series of prophecies about the end times, when Jesus will return and triumph over all the evil residing in the world. Its purpose is to bring hope and encouragement to Christians so that they will continue watching for the return and victory of Jesus Christ, but it is also a warning of the Final Judgment that nonbelievers will endure. The depiction of the cosmic battle that takes place both in heaven and on earth, symbolic language, and introduction of surreal

A big part of the end of the world in the Christian faith is something called the rapture. The rapture is when Jesus returns to take all those who believe in Him up to heaven and away from the earth. Those left on the earth are the people that rejected God and/or are part of different religions. When the rapture occurs, the Holy Spirit, God’s believed spirit that resides on the earth, will leave the earth and there will be nothing holding back evil. The time at which the rapture will occur is a subject of conflict among the Christian churches. The first and most popular theory is the “Pre-Tribulation” theory; the people in this group believe the rapture to occur right before the Tribulation. In this theory the rapture itself is sort of the “starting pistol” for the Tribulation. Next is the “Mid-Tribulation” theory, these people believe that Christians will have to suffer three-and-a-half years or halfway through the Tribulation. They believe that Christians are exempt from the wrath of God but are not exempt from the sufferings of the Tribulation. Similar is the “Post-Tribulation” theory; in this belief Christians are not raptured until the end of the Tribulation for much the same reasons as the “Mid-Trib” theory. Some also believe that even though Christians’ sins have been atoned for they still have to be punished with suffering in the Tribulation. The last and least commonly heard of theory is the “Pre-Wrath” theory. This group

The prophets are difficult to interpret mainly due to misunderstandings about their function and form (Fee/Stuart p182). Most dictionaries define the word “prophecy”as ‘foretelling or prediction of what is to come. Using the prophets in this way is highly discerning, for less than 2% of OT prophecy is messianic; less than 5% describes the new covenant age and less than 1% concerns future events (Fee/Stuart p182). The prophets usually announced the immediate future of Judah, Israel and the surrounding nations, rather than our future. Those events were forthcoming for them but past for us (Fee/Stuart p182). The primary function of prophets as a spokesperson was to speak for God to their own contemporaries. Of the hundreds of prophets in

The book of Hebrews was written by a Christian scholar and not by one of the Gospels. I knew that many authors made up the New Testament but I did not know scholars wrote some books a well. Hebrews writer was someone who linked the Hebrew Bible along with Greek philosophy. The writer never identifies himself but his views on the end times were very strong. He assumes that there is an existence of two parallel worlds: the eternal and the perfect realm of spirits. This is something that I have never heard before. This writer is the only person to speak of Jesus as the mediator between God and humanity. He has so much insight on what was happening or what was to happen but we do not know who this person was. Hebrew is written very differently and some of the

The two gospels, The Old Testament and The New Testament provide mirror images of Terrestrial Humans mentality Evolution and the comprehensive overview of the mental developmental trends over a span covering last five millennia. The Old Testament moral norms served in establishing a legal system with base in an absolute, irrevocable right of private ownership. Incontestable proof of continuous process of Evolution in this micro-segment of Spiral is an emergence of ‘The New Testament’, as a herald of a new mental era on the Earth, which naturally succeeds ‘The Old Testament’. Needless to remind, that The Old Testament also inspired adherents to vehemently follow the principle "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth", a total ‘defence of ownership’ “…based on the superstition or the illusion that one was ‘God 's chosen people’ and was superior to all ‘heathens’ ". (Quote from ‘Livets Bog’, Vol IV #1310)

In my youth, my family used to go to church every Sunday, and also had me go to Sunday school. The statement, “Have you read this book of the Bible before? I never fully read the Bible, because “they” picked out what “they” wanted to be taught. They give us passages to remember such as, “I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth.” (Isaiah 42:16), but never, “Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material.” (Leviticus 19:19). I never truly sat down, and read the Bible. Even, when I was the chapman for my first aid squad, I just would pick out any passages I felt like reading, or googled “good passages in the bible” and read off of them. My interpretation about the Bible and the problem I feel about the Bible, it is not a “text”, and not a book, I do not know, what you would call the Bible. In the Bible, you can pick and choose where ever you want to start. The Bible can pamper to everyone one needs, good and bad. So is the Bible “Malum in se”. If you fully read the Bible such as verses with Deuteronomy, his verses about disobeying parents, worshipping a different god, women who are not a virgin, and among others are evil (in to day standers). Hell, lets stone 95% of Americans. The problem is the Bible, is written thousands of years ago, with these people old time views.

To me this is like a very wicked Bible and History book all in one. Just like the Christian Bible it tells the people that there is only one god. The manual goes back to the past on how a group of people come over to their land and took over, by raping virgins, shaving women's hair and so on. When you start reading its confusing but not only does it confusing it tries to make the reader angry by telling them the history, but also make them sick because it tells them to do what happened to them, and do it to others in a kind of Pledger known as "O Sister" In our Christian Bible it states "how the lord will forgive your sins" and "only fear him". In the manual it tells the reader to not fear his creator and Allah will also forgive you as long

Roman Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Lutherans and reformed Christians are denominations that believe there will be a rapture where Christ will be returning for his second coming. The rapture is not mentioned in the bible but in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 1 Corinthians 15:50-54. “Believers who have died will have their bodies resurrected and, along with believers who are still living, will meet the Lord in the air.” This theory is based on scriptures in the bible. Many believers believe that all non-believers on the earth at the time will be left behind for the tribulation period. Tribulation period is short period of time where everyone will experience worldwide hardships, disasters, famine, war, pain and suffering. This states that 75% of all

In the Bible God uses prophesies to foretell or proclaim His message. Almost every book in the Bible holds some kind of prophecy. A prophecy will have two purposes; the initial meaning which will shortly happen after the prophesy and the longer fulfillment. Because of the two-in-one purpose, when we read the biblical prophecy today, it is important to take into consideration how the intended audience took it. When we look at prophecies in this context it keeps us from mistaking the prophesies as something that will happen

As Lewis Chafer notes, continuity in the Bible is best shown through the fulfillment of prophecy (164). Christ is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. And the Second Coming of Christ is the expected fulfillment of the New Testament prophecies. In both cases, and throughout the Old and the New Testaments, "highways of prophecy" are directed towards Advents of Christ.

This makes perfect sense at first, but in all honesty there are times when one does not think about how a prophecy plays in with the entirety of scripture. If readers focus in on how a prophecy plays into the entire Biblical narrative, then they will be able to better understand how that prophecy should be understood. Throughout all of this I think it important to note that one of the first points the authors made, way back on page 64, is that the Bible is indeed God’s Word and because of this all of scripture is a unified message. The climax of which is the death and resurrection of Jesus

The names “Old Testament” and “New Testament” are inherently theological in nature. Because there is a difference distinctly built into giving them different notations, it implies that there are differences between each the Old Testament and the New Testament, whether it is subtle in nature or obvious in nature. To Christians, the difference means that the Old Testament contains dealings between God and the world and even some of the rules made are made irrelevant by the interactions of Christ Jesus with the world. One of the differences between the New Testament and the Old Testament is the way each of the Testaments describe God and God’s nature. The Old Testament describes an angry God, one who only created the world and was obsessed with laws and rules. The New Testament describes a loving God who redeemed the world. The different ways the Old Testament and New Testament describe God and his nature are very much influenced by their perspective of God. By the rules, actions, and laws God made, the early writers of the Old Testament made their judgements about God and wrote those perspectives into the books of the Old Testament. The writers of the Old Testament did the best they could with the information they had and got some things about God right, but also got things wrong. The writers of the New Testament and therefore, Christian believers understand God better.

Living in a nation today where people of my own skin color are being discriminated against is a hard fact to grasp. Personally, by the grace of God, I have never encountered a situation where the color of my skin has been a problem. This does not deny the fact there is this problem out in the world. Discrimination can be in many forms race, gender, national origin, religion, disability, and even age. These many forms of discrimination would cause a division in our nation. Now the church has tried to find ways to mend this division that is created between people. In Paul’s letters to the Ephesians he addresses this issue.

One of the most important books in the history of design is The Gutenberg Bible, also known as the Mazarin Bible and the 42-Line Bible. It is often considered one of the first notable books to have been printed because unlike early books, this book was printed with movable type. Invented by Johann Gutenberg, his invention changed the course of technology and the way people gained knowledge forever.
