Summary : ' The Old Testament '

To mutilate myself would not allow me into the heavens, an understood nice place. I would imagine (“People say- they believe! – you had a god’s help when you restored life to our city” pg. 668 line 46), I am seeing a test (“People say- they believe! - you had a god’s help when you help when you restored life to our city” pg. 668 line 46) which I hear GOD allows you to go through. I would seek out evidence as to if this has ever happened before (“But why are your surging at me like this- with your wool – strung boughs- while the city is swollen with howls of pain, recking incest, and prayers sung to the Healing God!) or if I had notice or ever been warn through dream or hearsay.

In Arc of a Scythe by Neal Shusterman. The two factors which most shape Citra’s identity are her interests and her family’s beliefs, because she can not possibly stand the idea of becoming a scythe and gleaning other human beings as she has to follow her family and both society’s beliefs of scythes. One factor that mostly impacts Citra’s identity is her interests and dislikes, since it creates a negative feeling about the scythes and their gleaning. Citra says about scythes, “ Citra recoiled, I’d never want to be one!” (Shusterman 138).

By describing to us what Callie was doing, feeling and thinking we are able to gain insight into the psychology of self cutting. We see exactly how Callie cuts herself as she describes how the metal “…sinks in deeply.”(50) as well as how she feels when she cuts: “A sudden liquid heat floods my body.”(51). Callie’s first hand accounts of her self cutting is not clouded by the prior experiences, cultural values or beliefs and we are able to see exactly why and how she does it and how it makes her feel.

The heart of the Old Testament second edition is a book written by Ronald Youngblood to show that there really isn’t a difference in the old testament to the new testament. He explains that they should also not be treated any different. Youngblood talks about nine themes from the old testament and supports them with scriptures from the new testament. The themes he speaks on are Monotheism, Covenant, Law, Sovereignty, Theocracy, Sacrifice, Election, Redemption, and Faith.

A similar method shared between modern day self harmers and Dimmesdale is the use of a knife or razor for cutting. For example, in modern day self-harmers, “cutting is the most prevalent form of nonsuicidal self-injurious behavior” (Dyl, 4). Likewise, in the novel, Dimmesdale carved an A on his chest with a knife to repent for his sin of Adultery and to punish himself. They also seem to be similar to today’s cutters’ methods because Dimmesdale branded his skin in order to repent and suffer for his sin, in the same way as modern day self harmers resort to burning as one of their most common techniques of pain. On the other hand, there are some differences displayed between the two. Today, self harmers can also slam their body parts in doors and windows to cause bruising and a lot of pain. On the other hand, “In Mr. Dimmesdale’s secret closet, under lock and key, there was a bloody scourge”; this shows that Dimmesdale resorts to whipping himself to inflict pain upon himself (Hawthorne, 111). It can be seen that there are similarities in methods used for modern day self harmers and

The fifth place that Jesus bled from was His hands. His hands were pierced through with nails, and He bled for your transgressions. "But He was pierced for our transgressions," Isaiah 53:5 NASB. He bled from His hands; so that you might prosper. He broke the curse from the work of your hands; so that your labor could be blessed. This is a true blessing indeed, because we are told in Genesis 1:26-28 that God had placed all dominion and authority into the hands of Adam and Eve. They lost their dominion and authority to Satan. Since then, we have always had to work for our food and shelter. With the blood covered hands of Jesus, you are able to

“This is thy death; there rust, and let me die [She stabs herself and falls.]” (5.3.170). To stab oneself is extremely painful and actually quite

The Heart of the Old Testament written by Ronald Youngblood is an informative and insightful book. Youngblood identifies the nine themes that form the foundation of the Old Testament. These themes show that the Old Testament is not any different from the New Testament and should not be consider irrelevant when compared to the New Testament. The nine themes include monotheism, sovereignty, election, covenant, theocracy, law, sacrifice, faith and redemption.

There are many central themes that are in the Old Testament, and many may say that there is only one theme of the Old Testament, which is Jesus, and even though that is true in a lot of ways due to the fact that a lot of the minor prophets actually talk about the coming of Jesus, His death and His resurrection. However, I have discovered five main themes of the Old Testament that I found quite interesting. And in this paper I will discuss two of them. I believe one of the most important themes of the Old Testament is Covenant.

There were at least 3 views of how the Old Testament was composed which include the critical view, the compositional view, and the common view. Each view was somewhat similar and different in the aspects that gave it it's own characteristics. The main point of this discussion is to focus on the similarities and differences of each view which are but not limited to how the bible was created, the process, and design.

I used to be a cutter… but shh, don’t tell. Society didn't allow me to express my pain that way…Today’s society refuses to acknowledge many problems that teens deal with. People would rather believe in ‘happily ever after’ than face the truth, children are suffering. While it may seem to others that the problems are made up, its very real to the one dealing with them everyday. This suffering can leave permanent scars, and damage (if not ruin) their future. By remaining ignorant, self harm becomes more and more common, but at what cost? If educators and medical personnel were to be more educated on self harm and how to deal with it, teens and young adults would be more comfortable asking for help. Getttig rid of the stereotypes that

A philosopher is a person who is has learned philosophy and in words by definition I am a philosopher. I started this course not knowing what I would be learning and the simple title of the course was intimidating. I thought, am I going to be capable of understanding what great philosophers once debated? Religion is a huge issue I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to overcome since a lot of philosophers didn’t believe in God. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to separate my idea of life and viewing it as an intellectual philosopher. I thought that every idea wouldn’t have proof and that the only proof we had was the bible. The bible was the only piece of proof that I knew and that everything else wouldn’t be sufficient enough to make me change

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,

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.
