1. The four religious truths revealed in the two creation stories of Genesis are that there is only one God. Myths of that day taught there was many gods, but the first creation story states that there is only one God. Second, God planned creation. God created the world in an orderly manner to share his life with us. Third, everything that God made is good. God is pleases with everything, and human beings.

1. The meaning in "tree of the knowledge of good and evil" in the Adam and Eve story is it limits the man. We must recognize that man is dependent on his Creator, follows the laws of creation that give us freedom. God has certain knowledge that only God can possess.

2. Three effects of the sin of Adam and Eve are that they felt shame and guilt, which isolated themselves from each other. Their disobedience also pulled them away from God. They lost the grace of their original holiness and justice. Sin broke their harmony with the natural world. They experienced pain and suffering.

3. Protoevangelium means that God punished the evil one. It is God's promise that one day the devil will be destroyed by the offspring of a woman, which is Jesus Christ. In the First Gospel Adam would reconcile the world to God and then overcome sin and

    The Bible Cause John Fa Summary

    In The Bible Cause, John Fea explores the American Bible Society (ABS) and the plucky Christians who built and sustained it. Published to coincide with the ABS’s 2016 bicentennial, the book offers a chronological institutional history peppered with quotations from letters written by supporters (and occasionally critics) and tales from agents working across the United States and the globe. At its heart, this book argues that two motivating commitments have driven the history of the ABS. Since its founding in 1816, it has sustained a belief in the power of the Bible to lead people to salvation and has maintained a cultural mandate to build a Christian society in the United States and throughout the world.…

    John's Gospel Humor

    Thus, it is held, indicates that it was written either before that event or long enough after it of interest to have waned.” Some scholar in “later put John’s gospel more difficult it is to account for his failure to make use of the other Gospels. A number of John’s expressions seem to indicate an earlier date. But the monastery at Qumran seems to have been destroyed completely before A.D. 70.” As a result, all “It does not prove an early date for the gospel, but it is more consistent with an early date than a later one. The dating of the gospel is thus not easy. There is nothing to indicate with any great precious what date is to be Preferred.” On the other hand, “the earliest possible date for the gospel of John is 75-80 C.E. that is after the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. At this time Jews were seeking to redefine their identity without the temple a process that led them to reject those who did not conform to this identity including the Jewish Christians. The gospel of John rather introspectively speaks about the crisis that the people about the crisis that the people of the Hellenistic period were going through.” One of the crisis during the John’s period was the Jewish living in Ephesus that why the John write his…

    Post-Freudian Pshychoanalytic Theory of Adam & Eve

    The story of Adam and Eve is one of the most culturally important and known stories in the Bible regarding the origin of mankind. It’s generally followed by Judeo-Christians but is also grasped by other religious views, though many tend to overlook minor key details that may alter the whole interpretation. First, God created a man named Adam to primarily tend to the garden he planted in Eden. There were many trees in the garden that happened to contain two special types of trees. God allowed Adam to eat from any tree he wished, except from one specific tree. Then, God created a woman to accompany Adam who automatically became his wife. The woman came across a serpent she claimed to have deceived her. In actuality, the serpent simply told her a fact that is later proven correct with the help of her temptation. After Adam and the woman both consumed fruit from the forbidden tree, they realized that they were naked and tried to hide from God. God came to find that Adam and the woman ate from the forbidden tree because they suddenly were full of knowledge. God punished the serpent, Adam, and the woman for their disobedience. He then banished them not as another punishment but to help them avoid temptation again. Within the controversial context of the story lie theoretical themes that can be analyzed by existentialism and the Post-Freudian psychoanalytic theory of eros, thanatos, and the Oedipal Conflict. The story can be viewed using the Oedipal Conflict as God plays the role of both the mother and father figure while Adam and Eve play the role of the rebellious children. Along with this conflict, the characters of the story demonstrate existentialism qualities and carry out actions that they are either eros or thanatos.…

    St. John's Gospel Analysis

    The most helpful resource that I found whilst translating the first eighteen verses of St. John’s Gospel was also the most detrimental. At some moments, comparing my own translation to others could lead to a better understanding of the overall passage, but it could also become more muddled if the other translator and I had different ideas as to what the original text meant. There were, of course, other times where both the other translations and mine came to the same idea, but worded it differently, which is simply aesthetic. In its totality, St. John’s Gospel was a challenge to translate, through comparing, searching for vocabulary, and tying everything together in a way that didn’t sound like a child wrote it, I was given a deeper understanding…
