Matthew 5:41

times in the book of Matthew. Here is some background information on the book of Matthew, “Although the first Gospel is anonymous, the early church fathers were unanimous in holding that Matthew, one of the 12 apostles, was its author. However, the results of modern critical studies—in particular those that stress Matthew’s alleged dependence on Mark for a substantial part of his Gospel—have caused some Biblical scholars to abandon Matthean authorship. Why, they ask, would Matthew, an eyewitness to

these children with love (Herbert 53). In Matthew eighteen, Jesus uses a little child as an example. The disciples question “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” (Matt. 18.1). In answer, Jesus uses a frail, helpless, dependent child as a representation of the disciples. He says to them “Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me” (Matt. 18.4-5). Leon Morris, a leading evangelical New

a son of God and a riddle” in his definition outstand to me, and I think these words are the key of his definition. Thus, it is important to understand what these words meaning is. What is Gospel? The people usually think the Fourth Gospel that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and it is all about Jesus. In the ancient Hellenistic time, the Gospels were regarded as biographies of Jesus (Boring, 508). If Jonathan Z. Smith represents “a son of God” as Jesus in his definition, I do not think the Gospel

“The wages of sin is DEATH” Romans 6:23 * Spiritual death is the separation of a person in this life from the Grace of God- (Ephesians 2:1, John 3:36) * Physical death (temporal) Hebrews 9:27; Romans 5:12 * Eternal death is separation from the grace and presence of God (Matt. 25:41) * Human beings are afraid of God (Genesis 3:8) * Live in disharmony (Genesis 3:12) * Loss of complete dominion of nature(Genesis 3:17) * We are subject to weakness, pain, sickness, and sorrow

gifts have ceased, I believe it does lay the foundation for why they might no longer occur to the same extent as they did as recorded in the New Testament. Women in church leadership; I believe women are encouraged to teach other women (Titus 2:3–5). I also believe that the Bible also does not restrict women from teaching children or teens. The only role women are restricted from is teaching or having spiritual authority are over men. (1 Timothy

My rationale for this is quite simple, The Holy Bible. The Bible explains to us in Matthew, that we as Christian’s are not to treasure earthy possessions since others can not only take and destroy those items, but because your heart will become devoted to these possessions (6:19-21). Devoting ones, heart to assets allows them to gain the world, however, they lose something much more valuable, their soul (Matthew 16:26, New King James Version). Luke similarly addresses this phenomenon; reminding

Summary of What I Learned The gospels provides us with four different, yet not conflicting, stories of the birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John gives these accounts and are called the synoptic gospels. Each one of these gospels have a key verse, main people they are ministering to, or how they look at Christ. The Gospels displayed that Jesus was the promised Messiah of the Old Testament and that laid the foundation for the teaching of the

There have been many attempts to define and describe the concept of the Hypostatic Union. Charles C. Ryrie proposed that the uniqueness of Christianity in its belief in Christ as the God-man is often hard to understand, since there is no way to compare or contrast this concept with any other God-man in history. Across time many people have come to the conclusion that Jesus Christ is God. While others believed He was truly human. Yet in the annals of the gospels we only see one Person – Jesus Christ

The Lord lifteth up the meek:  He casteth the wicked down to the ground. Psalms 147:6 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.  Ephesians 2:10 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe.  2 Corinthians 4:3-4a For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.  Psalms 48:14

The Importance of Analyzing Customer Profitability BADM 603 July 30, 2007 Every for-profit business has one main goal: to maximize profits by selling as much of its products or services to as many customers as possible. It seems logical to think that the more customers that a business has, the more profitable the company will be. However, business managers should also be aware that some customers are more profitable to the company than others. Managers should analyze their customers to determine
