The book of Acts has such a variety of topics that can be addressed. Every chapter has something in it that can be applied to daily living in the postmodern twenty first century in Canada's western culture, and society. With this in mind, the point of this essay is to address what scholars will have to say about Acts 5. What truly is amazing however is the hypocrisy which so characterizes the first portion of Acts five. Here there is a husband and wife, Ananias and Sapphira, after many believers

Iana Craig Junior Bible 1A & 5 2/11/17 Romans 3:9-20 In my passage Paul begins to introduce his verse by explaining; ‘All are under sin.’(5) He begins to write “What then?(6) Are we better than they?(7) Not at all; for we have already charged(8) that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin.” Paul begins to explain this passages explanation in light comments about the Jews explaining in (2:1-3:8), about how the Jews are better than the Gentiles.(9) In (3:2-9:4-5) Paul suggest that the Jews seem

In McKnight’s article Jesus Vs. Paul McKnight asks the question of how the kingdom of God and justification by righteousness can be integrated together. The beginning of the article first tells the reader of how the author was more intuitive to Paul and his writings. He grew up with Paul’s theologies and they were his way of living. Justification by faith was McKnight’s way of life until his seminary class that talked about the synoptic gospels. McKnight was so captivated by Jesus and his story

The letters of Paul are among the earliest Christian documents. Paul the apostle is believed to have written such compositions to various Christian churches and communities. The significance of such letters is therefore tremendous as they provide a first hand account into the beliefs and thoughts of Paul. In contrast, the author of Luke is ascribed authorship to Acts. Acts of the Apostles follows early Christianity as it was spread throughout the Roman Empire. Being that Acts exists as a second

Philemon is a short letter dealing with the relationship of Christian slaveholders to their human property. Paul's missionary activity was not only directed at slaves, but it was contingent on the support of slaveholders as well (Roth, 2014). Some scholars argue that Onesimus either stole money or other property from Philemon, while others contend that he displeased his master in some way. In any event, Onesimus made his way to the place Paul was imprisoned, where he was thereby converted to Christianity

Introduction/Thesis The book of Romans 1-8 was written by Paul the apostle to the Jews and Gentiles. It talks about the Christian life. I will be discussing what it teaches about the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture as taught by Paul. In Paul’s letter to the Romans, it shows that we should not just strive to be a good person, but to always give in to God’s will for us in our lives. The Natural World The natural world began when God created the heavens and the Earth

The Apostle Paul was originally named Saul; it wasn’t until he listened to the voice of God and became a true believer in him that he became Paul. In the beginning Saul couldn’t understand why anybody would follow Jesus; he asked “how could anyone profess to follow a crucified Messiah?”(Shelley 19) Saul found the answer to the question that he had asked one day while outside of Damascus. Saul confronted the Lord, and was blinded by a light, he had to drop to his knees and yield to the voice of that

In Paul third Journey he preached in Asia Minor. Act 20:7-12 talks about Paul preaching a long sermon in Troas. While Paul was teaching a young man that was sitting in the window still had went to sleep and fell out the window. Everyone thought that he was dead but Paul revived him. In Acts 19 Paul arrived in Ephesus and there he found some disciples. He asked the disciples have they receive the Holy Spirit and asked them what baptism did they receive Acts 19:3. So Paul placed his hands on them

CRITIQUE OF MARK COPLAN’S 2 THESSALONIANS OUTLINE Even though this turned out to be a rather lengthy outline, I must say it is far more difficult to critique a written sermon than an oral one. Without hearing the inflections of one’s voice it is typically difficult to gauge whether or not something is being stated as fact, or simply implied. However, the content of this outline seems to be clearly stated. As far as I can tell, there are few if any grammatical errors. In other outlines and commentaries

Are you tired and lazy to go to work every day? If you’re answer is YES. Well, that’s life. What about slaves that never go to sleep and eat? As it say in the Bible (1 Peter 2:18) “Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only those who are good and considered, but also those who are harsh”. Is even the bible saying the truth? What about change it and make it “Masters of the slaves submit yourselves to your slaves with all respect and treat them like your family and not a
