The Final Greeting And Farewell Essay

In today’s society, both Christianity and Judaism are two of the most practiced religions by people all over the world. Both religions have some similarities, they both value the ten commandments. Also, some religious practices used in Christianity such as baptisms were derived from Judaism (Brodd 2016). Although society sees these two religions as similar, they both have vastly different ultimate goals. In order to help believer’s attain these goals, Jesus helps Christians and Moses helps the Jewish fully understand these goals.

     The Jews may have had an advantage as far as the special revelation of God’s word, but this did not make them any better than the Gentiles, as Paul proved in 3:9. All men are unfaithful to God and spiritually dead (3:10-18). The Law served to demonstrate the Jew’s sinfulness to Him, thus putting him in the same place as the Gentiles in regards to their standing before God (3:19-20). God’s righteousness comes to an individual apart from the Law to those who believe on Jesus (3:21-23). God does not distinguish between Jew and Gentile because both are sinners

In the time Paul was writing to the Romans there was conflict between the Gentiles and the Jews. Many of today’s scholars have presented a number of likely reasons as to why Paul may have written the book of Romans. One of these believed reasons was for him to address the continued power struggle between the Gentiles and the Jews. In the book of Romans, Paul encourages unity as people of God and begs the Jews and Gentiles to have peace and love with not only each other but with everyone in the world.

Along a murky riverbed, long devoid of life; a lone roach scuttles along. It is often said that their kind are the only thing that can survive an apocalypse, apart from the ever changing shell of this rock hurdling through space and time. This creature, as resilient as it is fowl, may ever toil in peace; for it has no sentience or desires, and merely seeks to fulfill the simplest tasks, passed down and hard-coded into it’s DNA. Without want, pride, or a sense of being, it simply locates and consumes sustenance; in an ongoing cycle intermingled with periods of compulsive reproduction. A duty which has been the sole, simple undertaking of every member of it’s species for countless millenia. All around this creature, the land expands outward

Romans 1-4 is the first section of Paul’s letter. This section has two major structural units. The first unit defined the human problem of sin. The second unit of the first section defined the solution to the human problem of sin. Paul’s outline of this solution is the first section’s single most compelling issue. Romans 3:22-24, “This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” The solution to our human problem, righteousness credited to us as a result of faith in Christ’s sacrifice, is available to all of us only because of God’s compassionate grace.

In “Alumnus Welcomes…” Shounak Bagchi, a UC Berkeley alumni addresses the UC Berkeley freshman Class of 2017 and gives them advice on how to succeed throughout their college years. He makes them appreciate the handwork they completed to get accepted into the school, but also how to make the best out of their time while attending UC Berkeley. “Alumnus Welcomes…” is rhetorically persuasive because Bagchi was an alumni of the school that he wrote to which gives him credibility, he used humor to grab the reader’s attention and he stated facts about the school, which attracts the audience’s sense of logic.

In essence we are totally indigent within ourselves. As humans we have things wrong with us that we cannot fix on our own, we need Jesus to justify, sanctify, and to glorify us. Paul proclaims that knowledge of the law brings wrath, the Gentiles conversely didn’t have the law. The Jews by Paul’s teaching are under a stronger condemnation because they had the law all along (Romans 4:15). Essentially, the Jews are held to a higher standard than the gentiles. No matter if we are Jew or Gentile, we are all condemned by God the same but held to different standards. Romans 3:20, “Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.” God and sin cannot be together. Rome in Paul’s day and our world today are truthfully no different. We are all sinners and the only way we can be justified is by His grace through the redemption of Jesus (Romans

The church in Rome was composed of both Jews and Gentiles, and both parties had different views about the Roman government. In Jewish theology, they believed that the Messiah would deliver them form the clutches of a tyrannical government (Roman Government). The gentiles on the other hand, had a less zealous distrust for the Roman government, for they didn't feel oppressed by the government before Christ came, because they weren’t Jewish and didn't believe that the Messiah would deliver them from an oppressive Government. When Paul wrote to the Jewish Romans, I could imagine that the Jewish pre-supposition about Christ delivering them from the Roman government was a bit challenging for them, especially when Paul told them to obey the authority of the Roman government. Like the Founding fathers, the Jews thought a revolution would be wonderful thing but why wasn't it? And why must they respect governmental authority if Gods Authority is greater?

Processing the crime scene will be essential to bringing forth criminal charges against any assailant of the crime of rape. In the case of a rape the prime crime scene is the rape victim. Biological evidence is inevitably left behind. There could in this instance be evidence left behind on sheets. In this scenario the bed of the ‘No Tell Motel’ will likely have some physical evidence such as hairs, bodily secretions, possibly condoms left behind in the trash or flushed down the toilet, clothing of the victim or the assailant. The crime scene has been contaminated by sightseers from the motel (management), and visiting

There is a lot of reference made about Gentiles and Jews but it comes much later in the New Testament when the Jews having already rejected Jesus Christ sought to assert religious superiority and thus the word Gentiles features but it too makes no racial distinction, there were no brown black or white Gentiles, everyone else who wasn’t a Jew was just a gentile, nothing more nothing less. Their idea of ethnic superiority did not come from God as seen in Genesis 12:3 When God called Abraham, he said "In thee all thee families of earth would be blessed.". Genesis 22:18, says that Abraham's seed "all the nations of earth would be blessed." The New Testament resonates with the old as Paul says in Galatians 3:6. God's offer of salvation was to the entire world (see Matt. 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; 10:1-11:18; I John 2:2).

Nostra Aetate would also use the Apostle Paul’s letters to the Romans as a New Testament passage where he gives reverence to Judaism. Paul praises “the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption to sonship; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises. Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised” (Romans 9:4-5). “The Jews viewed God’s choosing of Israel in the Old Testament as being like an adoption” (Life Application Study Bible, p. 2044). “They were undeserving and yet God adopted them and granted them status of calling them children of God” (Life Application Study Bible, p. 2044). These verses states that the covenant made between Israel and God has never been revoked even though some of them rejected the Jewish Messiah. This reinforces the churches idea that Jews should not be cursed and they are the people of God. Using this New Testament passage the church is repairing the wounds of centuries of Christian prejudice towards Jews.

I’m 34 years old and I’ve never seen the nation as fractured and divided as it is now. Maybe some of you have, and there might be a few of you who have experienced worse. Perhaps one of my closest friends was right when he said that the most fractured periods were in every single moment leading up to this one. It’s just that the division is getting attention on a large scale.

Hi Stephanie! Thank you for the words of encouragement! I was an ABH (Aviation Boatswains Mate Handler) but I always made my way to the office and worked as a Yeoman. I may have worked in my rate for two years. I didn’t mind working in the office because being on deck was a beast. My husband is an ABF (Aviation Fuel Handler). My husband has been in the Navy for 22 years and he says he will retire next year. Good luck and yes we will have a huge grin on our face when we

The mission of God is to reach all nation. God uses chosen people to spread the Good News, to the nation. As He called Abraham (Genesis 12:3; 18:18; 22: 18; 26:4; 28:14). Jesus taught that we must preach repentance to all nation ( Matthew 28:19 ; John 20:12; (Act 1:8). Jesus was sent by God to teach all nation about Him and His return (John 20:21). Christian should accept all people of all walks of life. The church should continue to teach the word of God as it is in the Bible and to show love to all ethnic diversity. To equip people to participate in multicultural ministry is to embrace the love of God to all. The biblical base of philosophy is “Love covers over a multitude of sins” ( 1Peter 4:8). To get the saints and un-believers to join in unity with Christ. Cultural influence biblical interpretation, thus as we teach or preach we must remember whom our audience are and be able to get the message across so they can understand, by keeping the social also cultural of the Scriptures in mind.
