God 's Testaments By Wrath

The bible teaches us many things about God. From Genesis and Exodus we can learnwhat the Judeo-Christian view of God was. Genesis shows us that God made the sun, the moon,the earth and every living thing. During the days of creation God made all things good. On theseventh day of creation God rested and declared all he made to be very good (Genesis 1:31). God created human beings in his own image. We as humans can be certain of our owndignity and self worth because we have been created in the image of God. The book of Genesisshows us that people disobey God by choosing to do wrong. Even great bible heros failed Godand disobeyed him. The bible teaches us that God is forgiving. God has many attributes. God makes no mistakes and this is wisdom. God is infinite, heknows

The Old Testament is the largest part of the bible nestled behind the leather binding in the front of the book. Unlike most books, told from one-person or even two this is comprised of multiple, some stories even having two different versions in another point of view; over time it has become a large collection of ancient texts written and re-written by different authors and editors over the many years. The stories show the ancient Israelites, they show the laws, and rituals, which make up their religion and the small embers, which will one day, turn to a flame that is Christianity. The Jewish people view these stories as collected in what they call the Torah, is the collection for what makes up their history and the promise that God gave to them, as well as their laws and what they worship today. For the Christians the Old Testament is still seen as sacred, but most place a stronger importance to the New Testament.

Throughout the antebellum era before the American Revolutionary War, authors Thomas Paine and Jonathan Edwards, through their works “The Crisis, No. 1” and “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” respectively, assiduously try to persuade their audience for religious or quarrelsome purposes. In the other text, “The Crisis, No. 1” created by Thomas Paine in 1776, Paine tries to convince and persuade the American colonists to resist and overthrow the tyrannical government of Great Britain since they were not thoroughly supportive of the American, rebellious cause. Through the utilization of readable language of the common man, Paine describes that it is justifiable to depose oppressive governments such as that of Great Britain’s and not taking

Suffering is often a direct result of sin, and therefore teaches obedience (Heb. 5:7-8; Ps. 107:17; 119:67, 71).

that humans deserve, the metaphors about hell, the wrath of God and the unworthiness of humans

In his speech, Jonathan Edwards describes God's wrath as being "great waters" that will overflow with his anger, and reassures them that it is only "the mere pleasure of God that holds the waters back". This provides an image that the congregation is able to imagine. Edwards then describes how they are "treasuring up more wealth" and God may open the floodgates of a "fiery flood" that would ultimately destroy everything. The imagery of the great waters and flood forces the congregation to comprehend a terrifying image and reinforces his main idea. He uses this image in his speech to describe how they affect and provoke God's anger.

A very good question to ask a Christian is: What is the gospel? Shockingly many Christian have the same belief, but different answers. Reading this book opened up my eyes and helped me understand more about what the gospel is. In this book it explains in four chapters these four main points: God, Men, Christ, Men. First, it explains who God is, he is the creator of the heaven, earth, human and animals, he is also perfect, almighty, and compassionate. Yes, all those things are true about god, but there is also a view of god that people do not like to hear. God does not leave the wicked unpunished. God loves righteousness and justice. In Genesis 6:11 the bible says that the world was corrupted and full of violence so god said to Noah that he was going to put an end to it and he did. Since god is a perfect god and cannot see sin in order to clean the world of sin he had to send down his wrath.

The divine blesses the righteous and punishes the evil man to remind their limitation and worship to the God.

The life and testimony of the “chosen people” of God, in the past, are powerful Bible messages that could help Christians comprehend what it means to love and obey and to disregard and disobey God and His commands. In the previous section of this paper, I have discussed how Abel’s faith overcame the curse of sin and death in his life. His worship defined his unconditional love and obedience to God; As a result, God blessed and welcomed Abel in His presence. In contrast, Cain demonstrated his faith so selfishly. Therefore, the Lord did not regard him and his offering. Furthermore, Cain’s evil ways provoked God to drive him away from His presence. The story of Cain and Abel profoundly pictures both the blessings of faithful obedience and the curse of disobedience. Distinctively, worship is fundamental to people’s lives that it should be painstakingly attended. In essence, worship is a personal relationship with God; it intimately unites believers with God and His love that exudes life and power within them.

The Bible reports numerous cases of violence and war from the beginning of times. In most cases, violence in the Bible is caused by personal differences or tribalism (Niditch). People kill and destroy property due to jealousy, selfishness, vengeance, and attempts to prove their superiority. The evil of humanity in the account of Noah was characterized by violence that led to the destruction of earth. Numerous cases of wars and violence were recorded in the Bible, which showed the cruelty of mankind. Therefore, it is essential to consider a few of these cases, discussing their causes and the outcome.

Jesus offered the strongest teaching on the doctrine of endless punishment. But as Francis Chan and P. Sprinkle said “We need to enter Jesus’ world if we are going to figure out what He meant

The learning of good and evil is what is known as a "merism." Let me give you a few cases rapidly. In the Bible we truly have a great deal of merisms. A merism is a statement of totality by the specify of extremity. You say a few alternate extremes and it suggests everything in the middle. For instance, the west and the east are utilized as merisms. Paradise and hellfire, in the event that I rise to paradise there you are, whether I go to Sheol there you are. Does that imply that God is just at the two extremes? No, he is all over, that is the point. Close and far are utilized as merisms. "Peace to the far and peace to the near," says the Lord. At the end of the day peace to everyone. More cases of merisms—"going out and coming in" is a genuinely regular merism. "The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in," which means the Lord will deal with everything in your

To start this off, I don’t know much about the New Testament but I can name a few specifics. For instance, the first four books of the New Testament are all the same story just different perspectives. I know that the book of Revelation is a story of the end of times, written by John. However, Jesus was speaking through John, as he wrote the book. I know that Jesus was born of a virgin, named Mary. Jesus, before his time, had performed his first miracle of turning water into wine. By the age of thirteen, John the Baptist had baptized him. From that moment on, Jesus was now the man he was called to be, our Savior. I know that Jesus traveled through the Middle East, to more place than we know, performing miracles, such as, healing a leper, making

The first 39 books of the larger work called the Bible, is called the Old Testament. The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics,

During biblical times crime not only affected society, but it was believed to have also been directed towards God himself. The Bible is the oldest book to reference with many directives to living life peacefully and without revenge. As retribution is considered a form of punishment, if not the first, the Bible itself explains that the punishment should not exceed the crime. Matthew 5:38 states, “You have heard that it has been said, eye for eye and tooth for tooth”. This passage is meant as a way to explain that the punishment should fit the crime. As a member of society, the offender was punished equally as brutal as the crime
