The Bible And The Word Of God

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,

The book of Genesis lays the groundwork for what transpires later in The Bible, while the book of Jonah jumps forwards generations with one man’s struggle with whether to follow God’s direction. In both books, the characters disobey the good lord, in Genesis Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of life, and in Jonah, Jonah ignores God’s directive to venture to Ninevah to save their people from their own wickedness. Furthermore, during both stories Adam and Jonah each decide to hide from God. On the surface, these actions may seem similar, but deep down they are actually quite different, and both of these choices are able to give the reader a deeper perspective on the nature of the relationship between God and humans.

As a person throughly studies the Words of God found in the Bible, one would find that there are many topics and doctrines contained within. One of the major doctrines or teachings found in Scripture is prophecy. Around 28 percent of the Bible is classified as prophecy. The men who wrote these prophecies did not write based off what they thought would happen. Neither did they write them after the events that were predicted took place as some critics of the Bible would claim. These men were inspired by an omnipotent, omniscient God Who knew the events that would take place in the world. After all, “Prophecy is written foreknowledge of the omniscience of our omnipotent God”

All questions are taken from Evangelism Is… by Earley and Wheeler. You do not need to memorize these passages. Only be familiar with the content.

This book is a powerful medicine for an plague of boring preaching. The construct of Putting the Truth to Work is in two sections that are divided by a brief interval. The first part of the book consists of the nature, sources, and methods of perceiving biblical applications. The second part gives

The preacher must want to proclaim the word in order for it to be effective. There must be a fervent burning within, to drive a preacher to be proficient in the craft of preaching. “There is a sense in which the sermon preparation time is an act of worship. It is not simply some technical/skills- oriented exercise separate and apart from the transformation we seek to evoke in others through the power of the Holy Spirit.” In order to reach the depths of the word of God, one must have a desire to dig and prepare. One’s desire should be considered as a matter of life or

As he addresses extensively the subject of evangelism, it appears that Fay is very confident that is book is well needed due to the “sin of silence” that has gripped the Church and the body of Christ, in general. He has a powerful style that uses examples from his personal life and experiences to shows his reader that it is easy to share the Gospel. He also uses witnessing examples from the lives of various Christians to show the readers that they too can share the gospel without fear. He advocates a simple and non-confrontational approach to evangelism and states that God can use even imperfect attempts to share the Gospel. What God cannot use is the Christian’s silence about the Gospel.

Evangelism begins with a burning desire to proclaim the Gospel. The pastor is the one who provokes and trains lay members to witness. The pastor sets the example for the flock to follow. Churches who experience successful growth rates are trained by pastors who practice personal evangelism.

In part three, Metzger provides a theological foundation for evangelism. A proper understanding of God’s sovereignty in salvation will lead to a proper understanding of grace which, in turn, should embolden our witness for Christ. Christ is the only way to God. Christians may have fear to evangelize others but the Bible is clear that all real Christians have this privilege. Our weakness can become the means through which God

Evangelization is a useful tool in compelling others towards Christ. When we evangelize through working we express how much our beliefs rely on both prayer and work. James 2:14 says, “What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works”? This passage from the Bible shows us again that we are meant to go out and live our faith and evangelize through our deeds. God allows different evils so that he can allow for these different goods, some of these goods can be achieved through evangelization. Moments of working through our deeds

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.

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.

Heisler values expository preaching as that which “holds the powerful combination of Word and Spirit together”. While Heisler acknowledges the “subjective aspect” found in Spirit-led preaching, he affirms it is “governed by the grammatical-historical method”. Heisler emphasizes this point throughout his work by marking the “benefits of the revealing ministry of the Holy Spirit” that come from preaching “within the bounds of the biblical text”.

Responding to such a question as the one stated on responding to a friend who asks you why you believe in the Bible, and asks "Isn't it a book just like any other piece of literature?" would be a difficult question, but let alone a very plausible question to be asked to a Christian in a one's lifetime. I have personally been asked this question before on multiple occasions, and there are many responses I have given as according to being sensitive to the circumstances upon which the question was asked. I believe in the Bible as being the authoritative word of God, and the divinely inspired, and breathed out word of God (2 Timothy 3:16). To use a response that would allow this message to portray itself accurately, I would likely use 3 main

?And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all those heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.? Luke 2:46-47
