The Bible : The Truth Of The Bible

Biblical worldview is wholly dependent on the absolute truth of Scripture. The absolute truth of scripture relates to a biblical worldview because in order for people to possess a biblical worldview they must rely on the truth of the scripture to be the foundation on which everything else rests. This foundation, the Bible, must be absolute truth or else people risk possessing a worldview with a faulty and weak

Scripture opens with a witness to the act of God in creation. This fact points to us that understanding the world as the creation of the infinite-personal God is a fundamental starting point in constructing any kind of adequate theology. What is also clear is that it is important to get this understanding right, to the extent that we can do so. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen 1:1 HCSB) (Akin, Theology of the church). But with the revelation of the speaking God who has told us what he has done should make us want to please him each and every day and to show him we love him to.

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 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.

Second: to offer that the Bible is true is to say that we can faith in its content; we believe it to be guide to our faith. We would have to embrace the notion that there are specific assertions about Gods faithfulness and how we should live our lives and reciprocate. These contentions may appear somewhat intricate, but recognizing its intricacies is a way not of evading commitment to the Bible 's truth however of fully addressing to the complex ways in which the Bible is true. Let’s contemplate the rapport between truth and meaning: the truth of a testimonial or a book hinges on what it means. Countless biblical scholars have worked for eons to scrutinize and appraise the text of the Old Testament, the Apocrypha, and the New Testament.

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 by Moses, into the Pentateuch. This started the creation of the Bible by gathering stories that relate to God, that would teach lessons to help them understand God and Jesus. So the Christian followers could read these philosophical lessons at any point

With teachings from Hauer and Young’s Introduction to The Bible: A Journey into Three Worlds, the reader is taught how to study the bible and can further understand what exactly Matthew was trying to teach us about Jesus through his words. There are three literary worlds: the literary, historical, and contemporary world which all have subcategories. Matthew presents Jesus in a positive light and as an exceptional man throughout his gospel.

However, this does not mean that some parts of the Bible hold more truth than others. Perception plays one of the biggest roles in determining the truth of a passage, chapter, or book of the Bible. No one is able to conceive the words written in the Bible the same way. That is one of the greatest things about the Bible; it is a tool that can be used to share many different meanings from the same message. These meanings continue to evolve and change throughout these said seasons. It is important not to just read the Bible, but to study it in order to understand its full meaning. Each chapter in the Bible is written from the account of a certain person. Here again, perception comes into play. Hearing from God, seeing Jesus’ miracles, and feeling called by the Holy Spirit is different for

The historical Jesus has always been a fascinating character, one who has sparked controversy since the beginning of his time. For one, we have very little historical proof of the life of Jesus, just writing from “a Jewish Historian named Josephus, whose writing has been confirmed by archaeological studies.” (Fisher, 302). We also have writings about Jesus’ life, in particular all that can be found in the bible. One thing that is a constant mystery, that even the bible can’t fully answer, is the childhood of the historical Jesus. That is where the Infancy Gospel of Thomas comes into play, as it outlines his life as a child. The Infancy Gospel according to Thomas is believed to have been written sometime in the second century AD, with many believing it was written after The Gospel according to Luke. But, other scholars disagree with such findings. “Some scholars feel that its core may have been written even earlier than the canonical gospels.” (Fisher, 305). Regardless, it is important to note that this gospel didn’t make the canon and that many doubt these stories that are documented, ever existed. I think this gospel didn’t make the cannon because of how Jesus is portrayed, and how it doesn’t add up to the rest of the gospels. The Infancy Gospel of Thomas portrays Jesus as a fraction of his adult self, who’s disobedient, and an arrogant/stubborn kid who abuses his powers to upset those around him.

The Gospels each illustrate a different Jesus. This is problematic, as there are four different descriptions to look at for looking into the historical Jesus. Especially the synoptic Gospels, since they share a similar theme. Matthew and Luke start with Jesus’ birth, and ends

The Bible holds many truths. Every time I read a verse, chapter, anything from The Bible I read has all of the truth I have been looking for my entire life. Even when I come across something that doesn't make sense, I seek, pray, and wait. It may be right away or it will take some time, but either way God hears my prayers about my confusion and reveals what He will to me so that I may understand. His promises are Yes and Amen! As I read this verse - You didn't chose me, I chose you - Hallelujah! Gods word is truth! Yes He did chose me. He chose me for something greater then I can comprehend. How do I know this? Well ever since I could remember I always felt the world was much bigger, like there was a God that no one had seen orchestrating

“ Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.” Rom 5: 20-21, what a great news; whoever believes in Him is free indeed! Our salvation does not rely on us through works, but it is the free gift God to whoever believes in His son. Paul discusses the Mosaic Law, he explains that the Mosaic Law in itself is right and without flaws, it is our incapacity to uphold the law that creates our dilemma. Anyway, the

There are many aspects of christianity that cause me to wonder if the god that I have been taught about my entire life exists. The matter of creation is not one of the things that causes my doubt. Many atheists cite the proof of evolution as their reason to disprove the bible because it clearly teaches young earth creationism. They along with the majority of christians are wrong. Evolution, the Big Bang and science do not completely conflict with the bible. In order to truly understand the bible you must realize that it is not an almanac or historical account of history. It is a collection of many forms of writing that were put together to convey a message. Christians should not cling to their arrogance and continue to make preposterous claims that turn agnostics, atheists, and other theists away from Christianity. Old earth creationism is the only way that the bible should be interpreted. In this paper rather than providing science I will simply show how young earth creationist claims about the age of the earth are unfounded.

In this day and age, there are many religions that claim their book to be the Word of God. Many books claim to be inspired, but only one of them is the true, living, Word of God, and that is the Bible.

The bible was written as an account of what many viewed that God had accomplished so his actions and words could be passed on for generations. Some believe it is a literary account and some believe it is a historical account. The word of God in the bible comes in many forms and is left up to interpretation by the reader. Some believe that the word of God should be the only word and should be strictly followed. Some believe that the words are meant as a guideline to help us through life. Whatever your belief is you can always seem to find the meaning behind your belief through the word of God in the Bible.
