Questions and Answers Bible Studies and Faith

Today, in modern day living, people are talking about either of the two worldviews, and the importance of that chosen worldview. However, one can choose to live by the principles of a secular worldview or a biblical worldview. This study highlights the distinguishable difference between a secular worldview and a biblical worldview, the incorporation of belief and doctrine, and the theories of vocations and the efforts for living righteously.

scholarship. I feel that chapter four is more important than chapter three because the topic is

Introduction: The term "image of God" occurs three times in the Bible. In Genesis 1:26-27 and 9:6, we find out that man is created in the image of God. In 2 Cor. 4:4 we see the phrase used in reference to Jesus who is the "image of God." There is no exact understanding of what the phrase means, but we can generalize. It would seem that the first two verses refer to God's character and attributes that are reflected in people. The term cannot be a reference to a physical appearance of God since Jesus says in John 4:24 that God is Spirit, and in Luke 24:39 Spirit does not have flesh and bones. Therefore, we can conclude that the image of God deals with humanity's reflection of

Biblical wisdom emphasis is another approach in which one can investigate to see what reigns to be important. Like the wisdom approach, biblical share in the importance of seeking wise counsel. Horton (2009) states that in the biblical approach several areas are important in determining spiritual discernment. These areas consist of decision being determined by the guidelines in the Bible, common sense, individual gifts, God has a plan but do not reveal it, sovereignty of God, and free to make choices (Horton, 2009). One may object to the fact that God would want us to do something but do not give us the tools or clues to do it. God being sovereign is an area that many can agree on. Gill, (2006) states that it is through the sovereignty of God which is presented through the Holy Spirit that allows for us to understand God’s will for our life. Gill (2006) also implement the wheel of life for the coaching process whereas God is at the center. I highly believe that nothing happens without God ordaining it to happen. God is in control of all things. Roman 8:28 states that God works all things together for those who love him and who are called according to his purpose (NIV). Therefore God is in control and guiding us towards his plan or purpose for our lives.

In keeping with the image of God, it is often a struggle to exhibit patience, kindness or even self-control with the psychotic patient yelling, cursing or fighting you. Everyone one of us has problems to face in our lifetime. I feel that God sees our struggles and help is always available. Mental health carries a very negative stigma in today’s society. As nurses, we know that those with mental illness are no different from those with hypertension or diabetes. Yet, God has a purpose for everyone. As a nurse, first, you need to develop trust. Without trust, there is no relationship. As much as you want to walk away from this patient, you know that they are sick and need your undivided attention. Generally, I try to kill them with kindness, let them vent within reason, and always tell them the truth about what is happening and going on. As irrational as the patient is, scripture says that I am not to judge them for their actions. Luke 6:37 states: “Do not judge and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” (HCSB) I have to exert self-control to avoid feeding into their anger, frustration, delusions, lies, or false hopes. Not only am I the nurse, but I am a servant of the Lord. Therefore, while everything seems to be crumbling down for the suicidal or depressed patient, I need to let my faith

This essay is to look for the answers to the following questions in the scope of Genesis chapters one through eleven. How does a biblical world view affect the way we look at the natural world compared to others who don’t? How does the biblical world view affect our human identity compared to those who do not? How does having a biblical world view affect all human relationship? How Does the biblical world view affect civilization?

Firstly, I would like to speak of my journey to change, rectify, or should I say modify my behavior. The behavior I wished to modify is the behavior of spending time to grow in the spiritual realm. This is a rather personal subject so I will try to be superficial, but maybe not too superficial. I do not wish to lose the essence or profoundness of the journey.

Worldview may be defined as the programming of the mind through which one understands and relates to the world. Just like tinted lenses will cause one to see a “red” or “blue” world, different worldviews will “shade” our lives. Yet, where “red” and “blue” mix, we must choose only one.

A worldview is a set of beliefs that typically have a heavy influence on your view of current matters in the world, society, or even personal matters. A person with a Biblical worldview will typically adopt what the Bible teachers allow what Scripture says to dictate what a person should believe on a certain topic. (Word Count: 55)

Next is a piece of art called Pallete of King Namer. The back of the palette has a scene showing the king about to strike down a foe, whose hair he is grabbing. The king is wearing a white crown which is associated with upper Egypt. The victim is shown naked kneeling in front of him, arms close to his body indicating he was bound. In the background in the scene there is a falcon, which is a symbol of the

The Christian gospel is often perceived as 'out of date' and anathema to the values of modern culture. Our contemporary society emphasizes individual freedom and choice. The idea of yoking yourself to a belief system is counterintuitive to many people. However, the 'freedom' of not having a faith is often the source of so much of the anxiety of modern life, as people struggle to find purpose and meaning in their existence. Because our modern society seems to present us with so many moral choices, the Christian gospel is seen as limiting, rather than a source of spiritual sustenance and wisdom.

Nebuchadnezzar is widely known through his portrayal in the Bible, especially the Book of Daniel. The Bible discusses events of his reign and his conquest of Jerusalem. Daniel 2 contains an account attributed to the second year of his reign, in which Nebuchadnezzar dreams of a huge image made of various materials (gold, silver, bronze, iron and clay). The prophet Daniel tells him God's interpretation, that it stands for the rise and fall of world powers, starting with Nebuchadnezzar's own as the golden head.

This paper will analyze the "Divine Purpose" as it appears in the various "highways of prophecy" in the New Testament, and show how those "highways" may be followed to a deeper and fuller appreciation of God's message.

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

The statues found mostly represented the elite symbolizing the Egyptian culture as a society that is very hierarchical. The elite statues had similar techniques such as representing them with a composite view, youthful and fit to symbolize enteral nature, rigid frontally, muscular, and used expensive material. For instance the statue of king Khafra, well preserved because of the medium utilized, diorite stone, which was not locally, symbolizes the importance of this king. He also is in a rigid pose and muscular representing his power and strength as well he is ageless. On the other hand, the seated scribe was found in poor condition because of the medium, painted limestone since he isn’t a king. The scribe is represented in the second kind of ideal image where his pose is more naturalistic showing motion. Also, there are signs of aging on his face, he is not fit, and the scale of size is much smaller. Additionally, there is a shift of statue depicted within the kingdoms. During the Middle Kingdom the royal and elite statues are were represented with a more naturalistic face for instance Senwosret III. He is depicted signs of aging symbolizing stress that a king experiences, but the body remained fit and
