Men, Hebrews 4: 14-5: A Case Study

Throughout human history, our ancestors lived out the Christian faith in their generation. As a result, the faith passed down into their children’s generations, continuously reaching today’s generation. Then, our society changed from a primitive society to a modern society. With the invention of technology, it creates a new direction towards spreading the Gospel. While our ancestors spoke and wrote Gospel in church, my generation use technology to share the Gospel on social media and Bible apps. With the different styles of preaching the Gospel, how can we unite our generations to pursuit God’s purpose?

In His faithfulness, the Lord as Divine Judge will judge His covenant people Israel after they disregard their covenant obligations and then offer them deliverance once they demonstrate repentance.

Lastly, there are principles listed in chapter fifteen that help keep us in the right mindset when interpreting Scripture. First is the idea that scripture used for teaching is important and we should take it seriously. It is a core part of our spiritual walk. We should not pick what testament we like the most because God is at work throughout both. Second is scripture is not a textbook, we must be careful that we do not make the Bible fit our systems, but our systems fit the Bible. This is something that both Martha and Cary could have easily fallen into with their arguments. Third, there is this temptation to say more than what scripture does. We need to be careful not to do so. I think that Martha’s argument was more along this line. She

In reading in the study assignment two really had a great impact on me this week and I felt like I needed to share. For someone that has struggled with life. For example not sure if everything you’re taught is true, not believe in Jesus Christ or Heavenly Father are real. In 2 Nephi 4: 16-35 really hit home to me. Do to someone that has fallen in her own way got some great answers that was very much needed. The scriptures that stood out to me thru out this set of scriptures are versus “21 He hath filled me with his love, even unto the consuming of my flesh.” Don’t we all want to feel that love especially when we fell lots or we are down.

Romans 8:16 tells us that “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.” This is a doctrine that receives strong emphasis in the LDS church. From the time they enter Primary they sing the hymn “I am a Child of God.” In Young Women’s they recite “We are daughters of our Heavenly Father, who loves us and we love him.” As LDS members, they live their lives knowing that they have a loving Father in Heaven. Though other Christian churches share the belief that God is the Father, their understanding of this fact is different than the LDS view. Other churches interpret the scripture block Romans 8:14-17 to mean that we are adopted children of God, whose adoption is conditional on our good behavior

The Old Testament states on many occasions that women are not allowed to be priests. These statements are based on the fact that men were born first therefore they are automatically capable of doing a better job. The Old Testament tends to hold a very biased opinion in that they did not even state that women participated in church life.

I have the Hebrews epistle. The author of Hebrews is not really known by anyone. The epistle was written approximately around AD 80-90. There is not much really known about the authorship at all. The audience that this epistle is being written to is Hellenistic Christians and possibly Jewish Christians. The audience is struggling with their faith and they are having a hard time believing in their faith, even though they have already survived the time of persecution of their groups.

Many Bible scholars believe this Epistle to the Hebrews was written by Paul, however most of the Bible scholars agree that no one knows exactly who wrote Hebrews. Paul usually gives his customary greeting in all his writings Hebrews , however is missing Paul's signature , which may be another reason several authorities believe that it could have been written by several people . Some feel it could have been written by several people like Paul and Luke , Barnabas or perhaps even Apollos , we do know it was written before 70 A.D. As we read in 2nd Timothy we are confident in this one thing that God wrote the Bible through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit even though it was written by man. The name of the book (Hebrews) informs us that it

The Septuagint affected the way various Christian groups viewed the biblical canon today. The Septuagint is a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible and includes additional written books (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). Various Christian groups view these books differently. The Roman Catholics and Orthodox Christians accept these books as sacred (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). Some Christians view these books as a second canonical collection. Other Christians do not believe these books to be sacred.

The Bible is undoubtedly the most unique book from antiquity to present-day. It is disputed as the oldest book in the world by some, and only one of the oldest books in the world by others. Yet, regardless of the dispute as to its age, the Bible is without doubt the world's most popular tome. “The familiar observation that the Bible is the best-selling book of all time obscures a more startling fact: the Bible is the best-selling book of the year, every year” (Radosh). “It is the most quoted, the most published, the most translated, and the most influential book in the history of humankind” (Geisler and Nix 11). It contains history, poetry, songs, biographies, autobiographies, narratives, topics on creation, relationships, love, war, money, property, music, parties, weddings, romance, didactic treatise, personal correspondence, memoirs, satire, law, prophecy, parables, and allegory.

The approved books of the Hebrew Bible, that were inspired by God were called the "canon" of Scripture. The Greek word canon means rod or ruler, which is a form of measurement. The Jewish Rabbis and the Christian Community used a measurement process to select the books they thought was authoritative. Authoritative is defined as, “able to be trusted as being accurate or true; reliable” (Dictionary, 2014). The Biblical Scriptures was recorded on scrolls, a roll of parchment paper for writing.

Leslie, you picked two very compelling scripture in Ephesians 4:16, and 1 Corinthian 12:12 that captures the essence of working together as a team. I agree that these two scriptures are foundational, additionally, to what has been said in your post, these scriptures teach us that relationship are vital when members are effectively working together. At the core of these scriptures are the potential that teamwork will have a greater impact than working individually to accomplish shared goals (Shaw, 2011).

The Old Testament writers referenced an assortment of ancient peoples to illustrate the common aspects of human nature:

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,

Deuteronomy 4:9-10 and 6:4-9 talk about how God wants parents to raise their children. Overall, God’s desire for His people is to remain firmed in His commandments. It is important for God that parents make their best effort to leave a God-centered legacy to their sons. In these two passages we can see the roles that a mom and dad should have according to God's will. The legacy of loving Christ more than anything is the most powerful inheritance that parents can leave in their sons' hearts. Their roles are to be the models and the teachers, the ones who guide them in any spiritual, moral, and emotional matter. They are the ones who will determinate the level of confidence that the child will have. According to the course book A Child’s World
