Testament of the Bible. Her life story is unique as well as analogous to many other women in the Bible including, Eve, Naomi, Ruth of the Old Testament and the Mother of Jesus, who’s personas are whispered faintly and spoken sparingly about by the Gospels of New Testament. One reason for this disparity is because woman played a very subservient role in the social, political and historical aspects and events in Biblical times. The women of the New Testament have not advanced much above the customs

Jewish Groups and Jewish Literature 1. Jewish Groups 1.1 Pharisees. This religious group was often known as the separated ones. They promoted a strict faithfulness to the Law of Moses to promote Jewish identity. They believed that a focus on the Law and religious practice as an individual produced joy and life.

Testament during the Apostle Paul’s travels around A.D. 53-58 in Ephesus, spreading Christ’s Gospel for close to three years. In particular, the Bible speaks of how powerful goddess worship became during the time of Jesus as experienced through Paul’s confrontation with the local townspeople regarding the goddess Diana. In Ephesus, craftsmen quarreled to the authorities regarding Paul’s

Although the author of Luke’s Gospel is not directly stated, scholars agree that it was more than likely Luke, a doctor, Gentile, and companion of Paul. This was due to the fact that many early Church traditions identity this man as having written about Jesus. Because he was writing primarily for Gentiles who had come into the Church after Jesus and were not raised in Jewish religion or culture, Luke had to be sure to stress that the faith was accessible to all who sought it. A prime example of

Then he said, ‘Here I am, I have to do your will. ‘He sets aside the first to establish the second. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all”(Hebrews 10:5-10) The Messiah would be a stone that would cause others to stumble. “Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone, ‘A stone that causes people to

This would place the original writing of the gospel at no later than 100 A.D., and very likely somewhere around 80 A.D. John’s writings, then, are the reminiscences of an elderly man looking back on his time with the Messiah; the views presented in the gospel are more likely to be what he felt and could believe in at the time of the writing, not at the time of his discipleship. This gives John’s gospel a more mature ambiance than those of the Synoptic writers, who were

historical evidence. His primary reason for believing that Jesus rose from the dead is that the writings about the resurrection are written far too early for legend to have prevailed over the truth. He acknowledges that there are scholars that believe the gospels were written after 70 AD, but he puts that down to scholarly laziness and unexamined presuppositions. From Horner’s perspective, we have reason to believe that Matthew, Mark, Luke and Acts were all written before 70 AD (40 years after Jesus’ death)

CHRISTIANS POSSIBLY DELAYING THE SECOND COMING Countless people express concern for the social conditions of the world today. In general, chaotic conditions describe the social setting, where hatred and violence run rampant. These conditions are most often interpreted, especially by Christians, as a sure sign that the end of the world is near; it will not be long before Jesus returns and “right all the wrongs.” Therefore, an enormous number of people feel that the only reasonable response to this
