Lenin's Testament

Athens, sometime around 50 A.D. You find yourself in one of the greatest cultural and philosophical centers of the world, making it comparable to a visit to Boston or Oxford (Mare 196). Though its glory has gradually faded since its founding, the city retains its beauty. Certainly the lush, green trees and the rocky outcrops in the city would be attractive to you. But what draws your focus the most is the brilliant architecture of the city’s buildings. Several temples dot the landscape, two of which

this letter, he was in Rome. He was expected to die soon. Peter died on a cross in A.D. 68. He died after possibly finishing his second letter. Peter wrote the letter in Greek. Greek was the common language at the time and throughout the New Testament times

evidence of saving grace manifested in the renewal of the heart by the Holy Spirit.” Further, some may ask, “what exactly is the law Paul speaks of here?” Nomos, the Greek transliteration of “law,” is not normally defined as the scriptures in the Old Testament (Torah, or law) but it is important to note there is an overlap there. Nomos can be better defined as the “will of God,” but in a more concise manner law here refers to “the sum of specific divine requirements given to Israel through Moses”

in the bible was to be seen truly and that in perspective of man in the picture of God, He must have a body, the main part of Christian masterminds have tended the other way. Very little have agreed with Marcion, who completely dismisses the Old Testament 's portrayal of God, somewhat on the premise of its humanoid attribution, as delineating another God than the LORD.Yet most have endeavored, in somehow, to clarify away Scriptural anthropomorphic dialect. One technique for clarifying without end

My earliest memory of anything connected to Jesus was at the age of 8, my mum bought me a series of books called Alice in Bibleland, which tell the adventures of a young girl as she enters into famous bible stories and interacts with the characters. I thought the books were spectacular, well-drawn, and a rich source of comfort. Around this time, I would stay with my grandparents on the weekends. Sometimes my grandmother (whom I simply call Nanny) would take me and my sister to church. At one point

demand for moral holiness is made clear throughout scripture. Psalm 15:1 sheds light on the fact that holiness rests upon those walking in righteousness and truth and the possession of a contrite and humble spirit (Isaiah 57:15). Holiness in the New Testament translates into a distinctive quality of life. The Lord’s followers are regularly called "saints" or holy men, and holiness was used to describe the appropriate quality of their life and conduct, being separate from the world and consecrated to

WHY WE SHOULD STUDY THE BOOK OF REVELATION The book of Revelation is one the most unread, unstudied, most misunderstood, and most twisted out of context, books of the Bible. So why is it one the most unread book? The main reason seems to stem from fear of the book. This fear is driven from the idea that the book is one which cannot be understood. That it is a book written in code that cannot be decoded. When you add to these issues a lack of God’s knowledge, you come up with someone who is not

through God’s power.  I ACHIEVE WHAT I CAN CONCEIVE - Paul said: For I live in eager expectation and hope… Philippians 1:20a - The phrase “eager expectation” is only one word in the original language, and it is only used one other time in the New Testament. - For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. – Romans 8:19 - The word literally means “to look away from the head” – to look forward toward something that you know is going to take

Hebrew Teaching on Diligence and Follies The two words, wisdom, and folly are inseparable; they cannot be away from each other. Folly is the act of having the knowledge of the benefits of making a good choice, but rather choosing the wrong or foolish decision. Diligence is the act of being aware of something. Therefore, one who often postpones activities and comes up with excuses is lazy (Hindson & Yates, 2012). The Hebrew wisdom books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Songs of Songs, and Psalms covers

What is your understanding of the Old Testament? Well, for me when I first started this class, I had visited some of the books and knew some of the stories, but I thought the Old Testament was the part of the Bible that was only old. This is the case for many people, because we think these stories do not apply to our lives. We are all wrong when we think these scenarios. I have learned a lot about the Old Testament and how it still impacts our lives today, the way God teaches us through these books
