Throughout the history of the Bible, few words have had more controversy than the words, faith, works, and justification. James’ uses a powerful

In Chapter 2 of Encountering the New Testament the author talks about a few of the different practices that unified the Jews as well the different religious groups that had different beliefs. Judaism was unified in the beliefs that they had been chosen by God, they were waiting for the messiah to come, they respect the synagogues, they shared the same laws and traditions of elder. Although these beliefs were unifying there were seperate religious groups and leaders that held different beliefs. Probably the most well known group of religious leaders were the Pharisees. The Pharisees were a small group of religious leaders that believed in God, and the coming messiah. Although many of the Pharisees did live good lives many of them were

The physical redemption of the Hebrews from Egypt by Moses and the spiritual redemption that Christians experience through Jesus Christ are relevant and apparent in God’s Word. God redeems the Hebrews and leads them out of Egypt; thus, for the Church, this means

The book of Ephesians is one of Paul’s many New Testament letters, or epistles, to the Christian church still in its infancy. At the time of its writing, Paul is in Rome, imprisoned for championing the purposes of Christ and growing the church. We see numerous occurrences where Paul, being a man of little concern for the status quo, is either imprisoned or fleeing capture by Jewish or Roman officials for usurping the latter (Acts 19: 23-41). The date of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians is dated 60-61A.D., depending on differing research. While this is certainly one of his epistles known as the “prison letters”, Ephesians was penned prior to Paul’s first roman

Toni Morrison wrote Song of Solomon based off of her personal life and her love for African American culture. Morrison’s personal beliefs and values are widely expressed all throughout the novel, with the main center around flight as a means of personal salvation. Rooted in the 1950’s through the 1970’s, a time of racial tensions and segregation, Macon Dead III, also known as Milkman, learns the importance of his history and embraces flight. Morrison’s depth of thought was very complex as she depicted flight as not only metaphorical, but also literal. She implied that the knowledge of history is very therapeutic and should be welcomed (Brown). In Morrison’s eyes, flight makes the world more extravagant and meaningful (Heaton). In the novel

In this passage of the second letter to the Corinthians, Paul addresses several concerns. He is addressing the situation of a man who has sinned not only against himself, but against the Corinthian Church as well. He explains why he wrote a letter rather than bringing sorrow upon them. Paul is sensitive to the Lord’s leading, and in love, writes to the church encouraging them to discipline this man in love for the purpose of restoring him. He urges the Corinthians to be obedient and love the man through forgiving and encouraging him. Paul shares with them his trust in the Lord for the outcome of this matter and how burdened he was for restoration to take place. He warns them of the need to not allow Satan a foothold through this

Ephesians 2:14-22 contains three key concepts that’s portrayed throughout the whole book; unity in Christ, grace through faith and a holy way of living. These three concepts go more into depth within the overall book of Ephesians but are summed up within verses 2:14-22. The paragraph before the passage addresses that the Gentiles were different from the Jews and that they were living apart from Christ, but are to live as one people, together in unity. In the paragraph after the passage, Paul reiterates that the Gentiles are to be treated equally with the Jews and that they have grace through their faith in Christ.

The Old Testament consisted of a set of documentations of religious scriptures, which were written by different people at various times for a different audience. Most of the Old Testament contains short stories of traditional stories and those stories of distinguished ways God established mankind. These stories are often told to the people in narrative form, which are guidelines often referred to as laws, songs, genealogies, and a list from these authors that composed the Old Testaments. The pressing of set documentation is essential because it is the framework for the lives of God 's followers. The term “Old Testament” originated as a means to express spoken traditions and God 's creation of that particular era. It is an method of philosophical investigation was designed to answer the why questions within these spiritual text documentations. These religious documentations consisted of four parts. These four sections retrieved from the Old Testaments are the laws, history, wisdom and prophecy. The laws are a rule of behavior enforced within the community. The rules are sometimes called “Torah.” When analyzing this Torah, these rules viewed within the first five spiritual books of the Bible. For example, in the first Torah in Genesis, it explains the creation, Noah’s Flood, Abraham and Isaac, and Joseph’s coats of many colors. However, the laws in Exodus were in regards to the going out. The going out took about 40 plus years, until the people led to

Introduced in Leviticus 6:8-13, this was a free-will sacrifice. Based on wealth it could consist of the following:

For part one of the paper I’ll be discussing John 12:1-8 in its context. I will be answering all the questions that are asked in the syllabus. The passage begun with a dinner in Bethany, a village at the foot of the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives. It is a dinner in honor of the Messiah and His disciples who have come to Jerusalem to celebrate the feasts of the holy week of Passover. Within the narrative world of John 's Gospel this passage has a good deal of meaning through its connections to other scenes and themes. John 's story of Mary anointing Jesus at Bethany is told on the last Sunday of Lent before Palm Sunday. It is a story of the preparations for Jesus ' passion, death, and burial. This is a passionate story.

The sermon commences with the eight beatitudes, with prescribed blessings that follow them. These beatitudes advocates righteousness in our hearts, unlike the pretentious righteousness that the can be associated with the law. The qualities that the beatitudes tell you to embody, puts Christ followers at somewhat of a disadvantage because of the selfish, deceitful nature of humans. The blessing or reward that accompanies these beatitudes aren’t for this world, and by this it introduces the notion of kingdom that is far greater than this world. This supports the concept of sacrificing and enduring persecution in this world, so you are rewarded in eternity. The sermon then strikes a metaphoric comparison with followers of Christ being the salt of the earth, and the light of the world. In Leviticus 2:13 it shows us how salt was categorized as being divine back then. This means that Christ followers are supposed to posses a sense of divinity, and shouldn’t lose this quality by conforming to the things of the
