1.Read Philippians 2:5-8 and briefly describe the direction Jesus’ life took.
The direction that the life of Jesus took was one of humility as he emptied himself to the point of being the form of a human despite the fact that he was in the form of God (Philippians 2:5-8, Common English Bible).
2.Read John 1:1-3. What other familiar passage in Scripture does this remind you of?
It is very familiar to Genesis 1 as both are tellings of the story of creation and serves the purpose of asserting Christ's power as being the creator (Merrick, 2015).
3.In what ways does the textbook say that Jesus is similar to Moses and David?
Much like Moses and David as described in the Hebrew Bible, Jesus was a great leader and deliverer which both were key characteristics of both Moses and David (Merrick, 2015).
4.Briefly summarize the parable of the sower from Mark 4.
There is a sower who sows a seed which falls on a path, a rocky, and among the thorns, all of which were there was little growth. However when it fell on good soil, it had fruit which grew yields of thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold (Mark 4:1-9).
5.Briefly list the three temptations of Jesus from Matthew 4.
When Jesus was in the wilderness, Satan tempted him by encouraging Jesus to turn stones to become bread, to throw himself down as angels would catch him, and that Satan would give Jesus everything if he would worship Satan (Matthew 4:1-10).

One is Yahweh promise to reunite the twelve tribes of Israel in the messianic age. Second giving the kingdom of God to Israel is a vision of David promises filled by the Son of Man the Messiah. The disciples being Jews have knowledge of the Torah and witness to Christ death, and resurrection are witness to the fulfillment of Old Testament promises.
1. One way the two creation stories are similar is that the order of creation is in the same order in both stories. In Genesis, after God made the heavens and earth, he created the sea and sky, followed by the fish and the birds. The “World on the Turtles’ Back” followed the same pattern except in the beginning there was a “sky world” where the god’s lived (38). This is most likely another similarity, because the “sky world” and Heaven were probably the same thing.
Genesis, the first book of the Christian Old Testament in the Bible, was written around the 5th century B.C. Genesis is also a creation story featuring God and his creation of Adam and Eve. The title Genesis means “beginning” in the Hebrew language.
As we examine the heroes of the faith outlined for us in the Old Testament, we would be hard pressed to find a more faithful man that King David. After the death of King Saul, David became the King of the Hebrew people. David, who was meek and pious, steadfastly believed in the true God and tried to do His will. He had endured much persecution from Saul and other enemies but did not become bitter, did not lift his hand against Saul, as he was the Lord’s anointed, but placed all his hope in God, and the Lord delivered him from all his enemies.
To begin with, the main similarity in these stories was the divine creation of the world and of humans. In the Genesis account, God created everything out of nothing, which started with the creation of the heavens and earth (Gen. 1:1 NIV). Succeeding these creations, God continued to add things to the earth, which included day, night, land, water, vegetation, and also living creatures (Gen. 1:3,6,9,11,14,20,26).
Jesus Christ was the perfect human being, and, Jesus was a leader. Sometimes Jesus acted as a manager,
Philippians 2:5-7 ~ Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bondservant, and being made in the likeness of men.
King David wrestled with sin, such as adultery, family disorder, and rebellion on a national level, however he also experienced great accomplishments as well. One great achievement was the unification of Israel. "Then all the tribes of Israel went to David at Hebron and told him, "We are all members of your family. For a long time, even while Saul was our King, you were the one who really led Israel. And the Lord has told you, "You will be the shepherd of my people Israel. You will be their leader" (2 Samuel 5:3). It is here that David makes a covenant with the leaders and becomes anointed as the
The Greek and Genesis creation stories resemble each other in many ways but also they have their differences too. Imagine two stories that come from two different places could have so many similarities, but it also has it’s differences.
The book of Genesis and the associated creation story is only one of many references to
Throughout the Old Testament, there are many examples of great kings that can be found. However, two of the greatest and most blessed Kings were King David and his son, King Solomon. Here, we will compare the lives and reigns of both kings by reviewing their faith, their triumphs, and their downfalls.
Another possibility is that Genesis was also put in the Bible to show us how important the creation of man was. After all we are the only things that God created in his image (Gen 1:26). God makes a garden in Eden and puts Adam in the eastern part of Eden to care over and keep it in order. He then instructs him about what trees to eat from and which to not eat from. Before God makes him a helper (on the 6th day) he brings all the creatures to Adam to name all the animals and birds (Gen 2:15). Then God reflects back at what he previously made before man. (Gen 1:24-25 explains the creatures made from the earth “according to its kind”) and has Adam name them before he puts him asleep to operate on him to give him his wife
Both Saul and David were men of war. Each led armies against the enemies of Israel. They were both politically perceptive and operated prophetically. The difference between these two
similarities such as Greek creation stories, the first sin, the rebirth of mankind and their worshiping figures. The Christian creation story is in the book of Genesis is very similar the Greek creation story Theogony written by Hesiod. In the Christian bible the creation story is the first story and says, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the
King David, a member of the tribe of Judah was chosen by God to lead his people. As everyone knows, he proved by his wise choices to be a very effective leader. As a great military strategist David united the tribes and extended the national boundaries so that in his time Israel enjoyed a greater fraction of
