Christian Bible

The King James version bible states in ‘Genesis 1:26-27’ that “Gods image is shared equally by women and men”. ‘Exodus 36:1’ says, “use your skills to honor God”. Despite what the bible seems to be saying, women do not have the same opportunities as men in Christian religious settings. Imagine a woman in the Christian faith who has the qualifications to preach the word of God and the eagerness to serve the Lord. Logically, she should be awarded the job position. However, she is not even considered for that opportunity. In multiple recurring instances, the church congregation has discriminated against women, not allowing them to have the same opportunities as the men in the community. These women are not only discriminated against, but are scoffed at, even penalized for wanting these positions. Women should not be penalized for having faith in the Lord and wanting to share it with others. The bible states how both women and men are equal and are to use the skills they have to honor God. The congregation should not limit these human resources to only men, when highly qualified and respected women are willing and able to serve. Gender discrimination is a problem in Christian Churches because women who are qualified are unable to access jobs, are experiencing emotional stress, and are being penalized for wanting changes within the church.

Paul explained to the Ephesians that when the fullness of time came, God sent His Son into the world to make known His will for the salvation of humanity. (Ephesians 1: 9-10) However, according to Paul, that plan had extended from the foundation of the world. “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.” (Ephesians 1: 4) And, it is mentioned in the very first book of the Bible.

The purpose of the Old Testament is to give historical background as well as to give prophesies to the world and also to look towards the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus came to transform and replace old laws with his sacrifice and free gift. He took the Mosaic divorce law and the law regarding the Sabbath. Jesus was tested by the Pharisees and he won every time. He knew how to answer, many times in the form of a question, parable or story; he always had a response.

The Bible, sacred book of Christianity, it includes collections of ancient writings, which are split into two sections referred to as the old (Hebrew Bible ) and the new testament. It is said to be the most influential book in western history, as we owe our culture and moral compass to it. Historically the Bible has been seen as authoritative, as it is believed to be the infallible ‘word of God’, as writers were divinely inspired. However divisions about interpretations can be seen historically, typically in regards to translation. It can be seen today, in the amount of differing denominations. This may be explained by post-modern individualism, where citizens have a sense of choice of what to believe, rather than being influenced by the

The Jewish Bible consists of 24 books of the Tanakh. In rabbinic, “Torah” literally means “teaching” or “instructions”. The first five books, which consist of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, make up the Torah. The Torah is based on God’s teaching through his prophet Adam, Abraham, and Moses. The Torah can be looked as laws or guidelines to offer one a way to live. “Thus there could be the tradition of an oral Torah, actually the product of generations of interpretation through a long succession of rabbis, yet equally ascribed to Moses together with the ultimate closed written Torah” (Coward 6). The Mosaic Law contains a series of codes on social, ethical, and religious topics, such as the Covenant Code (shown in

The Bible has many reoccurring themes throughout the books of the Old Testament. These themes help followers learn about their faith, their God, and their beliefs. They lead them to occasionally question their faith but come back to God in the end. This is similar to the people who the Bible speaks of in its stories. The idea of questioning God and disobeying Him is not a new concept to Him. He wants people to believe in Him but understands that sometimes people will refuse Him. He is willing to forgive when this happens. A theme that is reoccurring in many stories of the Bible is that when there are times of corruption amongst God’s people, it is followed by God’s forgiveness.

The beginning of the 16th century King James of England was responsible for the development of the King James Bible.

With the completion of the Old Testament put a stop on the preaching and revelation of the prophets. Prophets were responsible for enlightening the Jews about the realities of life and resolved various issues that they had. The Jews were desperate to know the truth, and the teachings of the God and hence prophets aided these longings of theirs. Religious ritualism, social injustice, and idolatry were the three areas in which the prophets emphasized in their preaching and filled the hearts and minds of their believers with it. Prophets were enlightened and blessed beings that had much knowledge about the religious matters and their teachings are of still very significant and valid.

In the course of human history, few books have fascinated scholars to the extent of the Hebrew Bible. This is not to say that biblical scholarship has been static. Instead, it has evolved over the course of many centuries of scrutiny, both of preceding scholarship and the Bible itself. Scholarship relating to the Hebrew Bible, then, is often grouped into two categories: the work of the ancient interpreters and that of modern scholarship. Operating from two very different sets of assumptions, there are many similarities and differences that can be found between the ways the ancient interpreters and modern scholars read and understand the Bible.

How important is Bible study to the average person? What does the Bible mean to most Christians? Most Christians have a Bible and even many non-Christians have a Bible in their home. How often does a Christian read or study the Bible? I wonder if Christians truly believe that God wrote the Bible. Do Christians take Bible truth seriously by living according to all that it states? If the Bible was truly written by God then you would think that All Christians would want to live by a standard that came from a perfect being. I would expect non-Christians to live by their own code of life but you would think that Christians would live by the words of their God that save them and gave them eternal life in heaven.

Why do you use the Bible? We use the Bible for almost everything we do in our life. We use it to find ourselves through Christ; we use the Bible as a basis for how we live our daily lives and what we do with our lives. God has given us the Bible to teach us and for us to learn (Exodus 4:15). The Bible can be used to fight battles: such as daily struggles, temptations, and sin in general (1 Corinthians 10:13). When we encounter any one of these things, the Bible will help us get through it. In the Bible, there are many stories and accounts of bad things that happening to not just bad people, but also good people as well (Job 1:8, 22). God uses those moments to teach us, so we can learn from each human being in the Bible (Deuteronomy 18:9). Is

arguably the most difficult in the Bible. It was probably the first book of the Bible that was written. Commentators have consistently pointed out the challenges that they themselves encountered when trying to make sense of and translate this masterpiece of literature.

The Bible is a veritable catalog of the majesty and power of our creator, thy God and all of his works. Strictly from a literary standpoint, the Bible is seen as a masterpiece for its sheer diversity of form and content, for artistry, for affective power, and for the way in which no matter how well you think you know it, or how many times you’ve read it, you can always find new meaning in its text. The Bible isn’t just one book, but instead an anthology of 66 different ones written by various authors over the span of approximately fifteen hundred years. The Old Testament, originally written in Hebrew, consists of thirty nine canonical books of scripture prior to the coming of Christ, when God’s people belonged to the nation of Israel. As a religious text, the Bible has found its stories, psalms, phrases, and proverbs seep in to many facets of western and world culture.

In the Bible, there are many different kinds of ways to make sacrifice to God. Mostly, God just ask for animal sacrifice. God has a mercy image. It seems that human sacrifice are evil god’s requirements. However, people could also find out some records about human sacrifice in the Bible. In the book of Judges, Jephthah has made a vow to God that he would burn the first person come out of his house to meet him as an offering to God, he was going to make an human sacrifice for God. At last, he killed his daughter indeed. In Genesis, God asked for a human sacrifice, asked Abraham to burn his only son as an offering to God in order to test Abraham’s obedience. Fortunately, the angle of God stopped Abraham at last and kept his son from hurt, which implies that God just wanted to test Abraham, not a human sacrifice. As going through these plots in the Bible, how should people recognize the human sacrifice in the Book of the Old Testament? Is it just the test from God? Or God actually like human sacrifice?

The Bible is the (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) to all who believes and followers of Christ Jesus. The Bible is consisted of sixty-six books written by nearly forty authors. In the Old Testament there are thirty-nine books and twenty-seven in the New Testament. The New Testament is the second half of God’s truth and instructions for the believers. The canonization process for the New Testament is easier to trace, even though some questions cannot be fully answered. The Pauline Epistles were collected and considered to be in authoritative in the half of the second century. The four gospels is the gateway of valuable information about Christ Jesus and sets everything in motion for Paul letters to the churches.
