Luke targeted the Gentiles of the Christian faith and by using Jesus’ teachings, the author tried to convince people that Gentiles hold an important role in the spread of the Christian faith. The last Gospel, John, approaches the writing much differently. John provides more of the facts and signs that Christians may use in

Media Violence is definitely harmful to children as the exposure of media violence can desensitize children (age 6-12) to violence and in the real world; violence becomes enjoyable and does not result in apprehensiveness in the child.

Chapter 13 Summary: Paul continues to instruct Christians in how they should live. He begins by stating that Christians should respect and honor the governing authorities because they have been appointed by God. Also, Paul commands us to love one another. As he explains, all of the other commandments will be fulfilled by loving our neighbor. Therefore, “love is the fulfilling of the law” (13:10). Finally, Paul urges Christians to live in preparation for the day that Christ returns. Constantly fighting

It is noteworthy to interpret this text in the context of the chapter preceding Matthew 20 in order to fully understand God’s wish for treating the poor justly. Jesus urges the man to follow the commandments and to sell all of his possessions to the poor if he wants to enter the kingdom of God (Matthew 19:21 NIV). In doing so, Jesus is again promoting God’s will to love others and help those less fortunate. He insists that it is harder for the rich to enter the kingdom since it is the rich that are

As he banged at the seasoned wood, looking for away into the dimly lit living room. Suddenly the door was open as three undistinguished blobs piled in; one big blob holding two little. With agitated excitement he charged in only to be conquered by a crackling voice from the fire. “Leave.” Cried the blazing tongues as the frozen

Ruth did not have Jewish friends either because her father was a storekeeper for the blacks, her only friend was a gentile girl named Frances. Since Ruth wasn’t allowed to be anywhere near gentiles she snuck over to Frances’s house where she was always welcome, but she could not eat the food there because it was not kosher. At one point took

(Verse 9,10) For the Lord’s people, the Jewish people, have returned from the nations and will dwell in communion with their king. Through Christ, the gentile nations can now receive the blessings of God’s covenant relationship in righteousness and

believing in God. In looking at the rhetorical exegesis, we see James opening this with questions in verse 14. What is the advantage of having faith unless you put it into practice? Can faith by itself save you? Paul did not believe that Gentile-Christian converts must accept the demands of the Torah, particularly those commandments dealing with circumcision and food laws.
