The And Of The Bible

Discrimination has been around for too long and needs to be dealt with. This act is not right, God is the only one who should be judging anyone. A different skin tone or race should mean nothing, everyone should be treated equal. African Americans still to this day, receive employment discrimination. More companies prefer to hire White

In verse 15, Paul writes, "We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners" Paul seems to be telling his gentile reader that the Torah has no bearing on their salvation. I feel that he purposely or inadvertently gives the law merit more merit than intended by suggesting that Jews are not sinners because they received the law. He draws a distinction between himself and "the gentile sinners" yet he is telling his audience that the ways, some of which are still a part of his own way of life, are irrelevant. He seems to almost make a separation of culture and religion. He seems to be saying that the rectitude of the Jews dates from birth, because the Jewish religion is a part of their culture. Peter claims to

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

The question starts in chapter 11. Peter encounters an astonishing disclosure that God is putting forth "the repentance that leads to life” (Acts 11:18) to Gentiles without obliging them to become Jews first. Be that as it may, when he goes to Jerusalem in the company of some uncircumcised (Gentile) men, some of the Christians there whine that he is abusing Jewish law (Acts 11:1-2).

Their understanding of the Old Testament prophets, up until now, was that God’s promise of good fortune through the Messiah were connected to the Jews b. They believed that Gentiles had to become proselytes, be circumcised, and adopt the Jewish religion before they could receive the blessings of the Messiah c. This made sense to the Jews because the prophets had said the Gentiles would come to the Jews to learn about their God and the law would go forth from Jerusalem d. And Jesus did tell the woman at the well that, “salvation is from the Jews” (John 4:22) e. This situation did not convince Peter that these Gentiles were saved apart from being baptized (Acts 10:47-48) f. Instead, this event caused Peter to argue that these Gentiles should be allowed to be baptized into Christ without being circumcised g. It convinced them that these Gentiles could be saved apart from being circumcised, apart from becoming proselytes, and apart from observing the law of Moses h. The Jews who were with Peter agreed, and Peter commanded Cornelius and those Gentiles with him to be baptized (Acts 10:48) i. It had been about 10 years since the Spirit was given on the day of Pentecost and this was the first recorded case of an apostle preaching the gospel to an uncircumcised

Now, this is our time to take action. A bible is basically a book with instructions to follow and they are not false. No matter what color you are and what you are going through, the rights are for everyone being discriminated because of a different color hurts. People did not chose what color they want to be or what race. It is natural and we have to respect every nation and their colors. No one deserves to be discriminated. We should all take action and stand up for what is right. We can not give up because Jesus didn’t give up on you. If Jesus gave up on us then what would be the point of living? We have to stop discrimination of all kinds because nobody feels happy while

Whilst the bible does not specifically mention euthanasia, it does address closely related topics. Euthanasia is essentially killing out of mercy, hence the name ‘mercy killing’. The bible tells us that we are not to murder (Exodus 20:13) and any form of taking a life is seen as killing. It says that we die when God chooses us to, and to murder is an attempt to deny God his right of appointing death. Therefore, ‘mercy killing’ is going against God’s will and is a sin. The sixth commandment is “You shall not murder”, and that justifies what is previously said. However, in the beatitudes, it says “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy”. If we show mercy by killing,

Paul became an advocate for the inclusion of the Gentiles among the ‘true’ followers of Christianity. Until this moment in history, Jewish Christians believed that non-Jews had to convert to Judaism and follow the law like them, which included many dietary restrictions and circumcision. Gentiles who worship in the synagogue but did not convert were only

The Bible is composed of many different stories and narratives. Each one of these individual stories contributes to the greater story of the Bible; sometimes called the Grand Story of Scripture. Within each Story, they have elements that define the setting, characters, climax, and themes. The overall Grand Story of Scripture contains these elements in each of the five divisions: prologue, epilogue, and three acts in between.

EXEGESIS OF EPHESIANS 2: 11-18 Ephesians 2:11-18 is the part of the Ephesians letter, that discusses how the Jews and the Gentiles were once separated, but have been united together and is now one body. The audience is called to remember their past and where they used to be when they had no access to Christ and his kingdom. They are not called to just dwell on where they used to be, but instead also look at where they are now. They now have access to the Father, Spirit, and Christ. Because they now have access to these things they are to walk in peace with the Jews and to be one body.

The King James version of the Bible affected many things and had a major impact on society and the English language. It was created by King James to benefit and fill a request given by the puritans to King James. It took seven years to write and it became the English standard version of the Bible. The King James version includes a lot of formal and poetic language to describe stories and events in the other versions of the Bible. It taught the Bible in a different way making it easier for some people to understand and believe in the stories and truths of the Bible. This version is the most influential version of the Bible. It is also the most referred too and the most popular for many groups of people. Overall it is a descriptive and creative translation that combines truth with poetic art and beautiful language appealing to many different groups of people.

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 names “Old Testament” and “New Testament” are inherently theological in nature. Because there is a difference distinctly built into giving them different notations, it implies that there are differences between each the Old Testament and the New Testament, whether it is subtle in nature or obvious in nature. To Christians, the difference means that the Old Testament contains dealings between God and the world and even some of the rules made are made irrelevant by the interactions of Christ Jesus with the world. One of the differences between the New Testament and the Old Testament is the way each of the Testaments describe God and God’s nature. The Old Testament describes an angry God, one who only created the world and was obsessed with laws and rules. The New Testament describes a loving God who redeemed the world. The different ways the Old Testament and New Testament describe God and his nature are very much influenced by their perspective of God. By the rules, actions, and laws God made, the early writers of the Old Testament made their judgements about God and wrote those perspectives into the books of the Old Testament. The writers of the Old Testament did the best they could with the information they had and got some things about God right, but also got things wrong. The writers of the New Testament and therefore, Christian believers understand God better.

One of the most important books in the history of design is The Gutenberg Bible, also known as the Mazarin Bible and the 42-Line Bible. It is often considered one of the first notable books to have been printed because unlike early books, this book was printed with movable type. Invented by Johann Gutenberg, his invention changed the course of technology and the way people gained knowledge forever.
