Oxford Companion to the Bible it states, “abortion as such is not discussed in the Bible (Dolansky 51).” Since the Bible doesn’t clearly discuss the topic, abortion, it is currently debated whether it should be accepted or not. People make the argument that getting an abortion is ending a life so one is committing the first commandant by aborting a child. Friedman and Dolansky discuss where the Bible could be relating to abortion in some way. Abortion is not mentioned in the Bible, but some passages
planned. You may not believe in anything, but somebody had to do all of this. God’s not dead. We will all have to face him someday and I can’t tell you how to live your life, but I can substantiate he created all of this in an assertive way. God is alive, for scientific and emotional reasons. Water is colorless, odorless, but yet we still need it to live. The earth was made at a perfect distance from the sun, tilted perfectly on its axis, with the perfect amount of necessities for us. No other planet
zygote, embryo, or fetus is indeed alive. You also have to consider at what point during development it becomes alive. You would also have to prove that it is human. This would show us that killing or aborting it would be ending life therefore murdering. In the Bible there are many verses that would bring me to just that conclusion. In Exodus 20:13 the Bible states “You shall not murder”. It is one of the
such as the messiah hasn’t come yet and we believe the Torah. Jesus: Some of the basic beliefs in my religion are resurrection of Jesus (me) and there is an afterlife. My religion does not share some beliefs with the other two such as we believe the bible and we were all born with the original sin. Muhammad: Some of the basic beliefs in my religion are believing in only one god and having an afterlife. My religion does not share some beliefs with the other two such as recognizing me as a prophet of
between the Indians and the Puritans culture, it was hard for them to gain strength to stay alive after the captivity. The Narrative of the captivity and restoration of Mrs. Mary White Rowlandson tells today's readers about the Puritans culture, including Christianity, strength, and family values. To begin with, Christianity plays a big role in the Puritan’s life. Rowlandson would read the Bible and worship God everyday no matter what she was doing or how bad she was feeling. When she
6 billion years old and that everyone and everything in the world has evolved over all these years? Or is it the theory from the first book of the Bible, Genesis, that the almighty and powerful God created the heavens and the Earth over a course of six days and six nights? No one actually knows the answer because no person that is alive today was alive when the Earth was created. Although there has yet to be a definitive answer to this life long question, each side has evidence to support its claim
interest the viewers and to create a relatable movie. The film, therefore, is counterfactual when compared to the Bible. The differences in the film can be seen in the setting. In the Prince of Egypt, the opening scene shows baby Moses being but in a basket. He then sails a down the Nile River while almost being crushed by boats and being eaten alive by crocodiles. Whereas in the Bible he is said to float gently down the Nile. The directors have obviously changed this peaceful setting because they
God used it to explain to the world what is right and what is wrong, what is moral and immoral. Don’t let the people try to convince you it’s society that determined what is moral, for society took from the Bible, whether they know it or not. Murder, therefore, is wrong because the Bible says it is: “You shall not murder.” (Exodus 20:13) Wow, that’s blunt! Moreover, “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all
Why And When: The reason that the Bible was created because the stories and books in it was chosen because it taught some sort of lesson that related Christianity and showed examples of what to do and what not to do to please the God. The Bible is a collection of books that were written thru out the ages, it wasn't until (referring back to the first discussion question and my opinion on it) J,P,E,D turned the first five books of the Bible that was could have been verbally and physically written
have today was put together by the early Christians on what they believed needed to be in the Bible which books to include and which books to not include. Another point Erthman makes in chapter two of his book is that we have none of the original copies of the letters of the Bible. Erthman brings out the point that all humans are fallible and the errors that have been made in the bible. Is the Bible still God breathed? Why do Christians believe in a book that is not what exactly the original
