Generally, I find the theology behind the numerous aspects of the Bible not only, helpful, but also fascinating. Learning about the four different views about God’s role in the inspiration of the Bible makes me more aware of the theology behind certain doctrines and principles I may not have been aware of. This unit has forced me to tear down my assumptions about the Bible and go into the Bible with a new perspective of innocence. Through having an open-mind I am able to have important conversations with people, about the Bible, from all Christian backgrounds. Additionally, learning about the multitudes of translations of the Bible, and how they fall into three distinct categories, has helped me understand there are different purposes and intended audiences for each translation of the Bible. Before, I struggled with the fact that there were so many English translations of the Bible, but now I understand each one

The earliest Christians did not have church building. They typically met in homes. (The first actual church building so far found is at Dura Europos on the Euphrates , dating about 231.). They did not have public ceremonies that would introduce them to the public, and they had no access to the mass media of their day. So, to understand the steady and diverse expansion, we can have a conversation, about the Apostle Paul, we don't run across many "big names" as missionaries in the first few hundred years of Christians history. Instead, the faith spread through a multitude of humble, ordinary believers whose names have been long forgotten.

There are all sorts of variations around this theme of being too poor to help. Most of us have had times in our lives when money was tight, and giving to the Lord was difficult and a real sacrifice. Invariably though, we can find enough for some of the other things that are not essential—it’s usually a matter of priority and whether we value what the Lord has done for us enough to make giving work.

The Gospels of Jesus tell a story that is a unified story over the four gospels. Each of the four writers had their own point of view that they were writing from. Just a four journalists covering an important story will write from their own point of view

On the last night of vacation Bible school, I began by having the students do a quick-write. The students were to write briefly about what they learned through the week and how they can use those lessons to be better at home, in school, and with friends. I gave the students 10 minutes to complete their writing assignment. Once the students were finished, I allowed them to share their thoughts with the class. We also hung the students writing outside of the classroom to allow others to view their experience.

14. The Protestant Old Testament does not include the books of the Apocrypha because they have Jewish origins that preceded Christianity, which will not be the case with the Pseudepigrapha (Tullock & McEntire, 2006, p. 356). Books not included in the Jewish, and Protestant canons, but that are in the Catholic, and Orthodox canons, may be described as; additions to or extensions of biblical books, apocalyptic literature, short stories or novellas focusing on Jewish piety, wisdom literature, and historical/narrative books.

In this day and age, Christianity is the most popular religion in the world boasting a following of about 2.4 billion people, or 32% of the world’s population. But this was not always so, it originally came from a small sect of the Jewish religion. Over time it gained mass amounts of followers and became its own faith, but this was not the original intent of Jesus. His intention was purely to spread the word of the Lord and try and save humanity from their sins.

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.

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.

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

There are over 100 million new Bibles sold every year. With over 6 billion copies translated into 2,485 languages with more languages being translated every year, it’s safe to say that the Bible is the most printed book in the world. It is estimated that 98% of the world’s population has access to parts or all of the Bible (“The Most Popular Book of All Time”). Every Sunday over 20% of Christians go to church and read the Bible in the United States alone (Stetzer). Almost one-third of the world claims to read

In 1,604 was ordered the King James Bible and the first edition came to life in 1,611. Although it was made in Europe, it played an important role in America. This version of the Bible is considered: the ultimate translation in English, and no other version are found in the churches or personal use.

The Bible is arguably the most significant book ever written. Controversial in nature, loved and questioned by many. The Bible has been questioned since its creation. An eye witness accounts of historical events that to this day, still have an impact on civilization. There are ongoing myths, conspiracies, and theories about the origin of the Bible. The Bible is interesting, a fascinating read and an informative introduction to history. The history of the Bible can awaken the soul to an understanding of events that transpired from Before Christ (BC) and After Death (AD) to provide a historical, spiritual understanding of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Bible consists of two sections the Old Testament and the New Testaments.

The day that Jesus invited Peter, Andrew, James and John to follow Him was perhaps their greatest day. Now, those men had known Jesus before that day, but not as the Messiah. Andrew had been a disciple of John the Baptist (John 1) and had heard John announce that the Messiah was already in the midst of Israel. Two days later, John pointed out Jesus as the “Lamb of God.” (John 1:36) Andrew and another disciple [probably John the apostle] left John the Baptist and spent the day with Jesus. When Andrew learned that Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah, he found his brother, Peter, and brought him to the Lord. (John1:37 & 41) Andrew was not one of the more outstanding apostles; however, it was he who introduced Peter to Jesus

Biblical Interpretation is important and necessary so that we can understand what the text is saying, what the intended theological message is, and how to personally apply and teach these Scriptural truths to carry forward the Gospel in rescuing others from despair and death to hope and life, thus displaying His glory and growing His Kingdom. It is about finding what God is revealing about Himself and His Son Jesus Christ. Moreover, it is for us to know that God desires to have a relationship with us and for us to be set apart in a covenant relationship with Him to display holy lives that bring Him glory. Interpretation, using hermeneutical principles, help guide us in proper boundaries for interpreting Scripture so that we can reveal the intended meaning of the text. Without this, we run the risk of imposing our own ideas on the text, therefore misinterpreting. Misinterpreting can cause us to miss theological truths, administer the wrong application, and neglect or overlook the meaning of the text which weakens the impact of God’s truth in our personal lives as well as others we are teaching.
