Book Of Hebrews: Analysis
The Book of Hebrews describes faith as “substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (11:1 NKJV). As Christians we do have confidence in the trustworthiness of God, what He says is true and what He promises will come to pass. The Bible says: “But without faith it is impossible to please Him” (v6). Failing to believe God makes Him a liar, so how can God be pleased by a person who calls Him a liar? I do have faith like Job who said: “Whom I shall see for myself, And my eyes shall behold, and not another” (Job 19: 27 NKJV); thus what we should say as Christians.

    Beginning Biblical Studies Chapter Summary

    The Bible is an accumulation of historical books that are comprised into the now known Bible, which has a variety of versions. However, the Christian Bible is composed of two Testaments. The Old Testament and the New Testament, whereas the Jewish Torah is only composed of one, the Old Testament. In the text, "Beginning Biblical Studies," revised by Marielle Frigge; she presents a section on sin in chapter 5. Sin is addressed as rebellious, distorted, and an act of forsaking’s God’s covenant. Sin is an act of withdrawal from God’s will, as a result of the Bible which states the Lord has a plan for us. In Jeremiah 29:11-14; God’s plan is expressed for the people to call upon him, not for evil, but only good. However, in 1 Samuel 12:20-25 and 15:22-23; the Lords message is expelled out to the people to turn away from their sinful ways. For sin is rebellion, arrogance, and idolatry, which will all be rejected by God.…

    2 Samuel 1-10 Analysis

    1 Samuel 31, 2 Samuel 1-10 – First Samuel ends with Saul’s death. Rather than facing the torment of the Philistines, he falls on his own sword, but the first chapter of 2 Samuel gives a different account. An Amalekite reports to David that he killed Saul after Saul asked him to run him through with the sword. Either way, Saul is now dead, and David is made king of Judah, while Ishbaal (Saul’s son) supposedly reigns over the rest of Israel. Abner supports Ishbaal at first, but after having been accused of sleeping with one of Saul’s concubines, Abner turns to support David. Before he can do anything to help David’s conquest, Abner is killed by Joab (commander of David’s forces) for killing Joab’s brother Asahel. Ishbaal is also assassinated by Rechab and Baanah, who are apparently motivated by the thought of reward from David for their service, but they are killed by David as a result. With no other leader to turn to, the rest of Israel accepts David as their king at Hebron. After that, David enjoys much military success against the enemies of Israel (Philistines, Moabites, Edomites,…

    BIble 110 Interpretation Project

    Reading through Matthew 24:42-44, it was clear to me the message God was trying to portray; that he was coming soon and he wants us to be prepared. If we put off following Christ any longer, it may be too long and we will miss the one chance we have to live with Him in eternity. Jesus goes on in this passage to further explain his warning by telling the parable of someone who was warned of a future burglary in his household. Knowing this was the case, the man took action by guarding and deterring the would-be burglar (NIV). The parable of the thief is a beautiful way to explain this in the way that it shows if a man were to act immediately on protecting his property if warned, a man should be ready and willing to protect his heart, mind, and soul.…

    Psalm 22 Analysis

    The book of Psalms is a clear acceptance of wisdom and poetry unto God, the Creator of heavens and earth. David, his Sons, and others expressly write their human’s emotions in prayers and hymns to convey a message from their hearts in many ways. The book of Psalms is also equivalent to the New Testament as well, the Old Testament , example, Psalm 22:1 where David cries in agony, just as Jesus Christ did in the Gospel of Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34 collectively describing in Scriptures a separation from God. Nevertheless, God is only prayer away in every…

    PHI 208 (RELIGION)

    When you talk about proof, you are talking about establishing some degree of certainty about the existence of God. That is where Faith comes in Faith is: The assurance, confirmation, and the title deed of the things we hope for. The proof of things we do not see. The conviction of their reality and it perceives as real fact what is not revealed to the senses (Hebrews 11). It takes greater faith to believe that an unseen God exists than it does to just dismiss Him because you cannot physically confirm that He is there. No-one can ever prove that God exists by scientific methods. Religion and faith in God is based on individual beliefs. This is where the problem seems to lie, because most people fail to look inside themselves for God. Instead, they are so busy looking to their surroundings and other people to prove God exist. Romans clearly outlines what the real problem is and that is man’s rebellion and refusal to accept the evidence of nature or creation by God. The creation of the world God’s invisible qualities his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor…

    Book Of The Zechariah Analysis

    The Book of the Zechariah tells about the ministry of the prophet Zechariah. Unlike many of the prophets, Zechariah’s ministry takes place after the Babylonian captivity. His ministry is meant to teach the God loves Israel and that he will give salvation to all. The first 6 chapters tell about Zechariah’s call for the Israelites to repent their sins and the context of his 8 visions. The first vision is a horseman among myrtle trees and it represents that God still loves Israel. The second vision involves four horns and four craftsmen.

The third visions involves a man holding a measuring line. This visions represents God’s promise that Jerusalem will be expanded and is people will live in safety while God judges Israel’s enemies.

    New Testament Historical Perspective

    The death, burial, and resurrection of Christ Jesus are at the crux of Christianity. In hind sight what seemed like foolishness to some on lookers has become the wisdom of God triumphing over evil by the death of His Christ Jesus on the cross. Like the stanza of a well known verse, Christ cried out, “God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” This cry from the cross on the day of His crucifixion was not a cry of defeat, on the contrary; it was a cry of victory in the ears of those familiar with the blessed twenty second Psalm written by His very namesake David the king, the priest, the psalmist. Victory…

    Importance of Faith in the Book Night

    Faith is confidence or trust in a person, thing, deity, or in the doctrines or teachings of a religion or view. The word faith is often used as a synonym for hope, trust or belief. In religion, faith often involves accepting claims about the character of a deity, nature, or the universe. While some have argued that faith is opposed to reason, proponents of faith argue that the proper domain of faith concerns questions which cannot be settled by evidence. A broader definition for faith is when person believe that something may happen regardless of circumstances around them, that faith something that gives assurance of what we do not see. Fundamentally, in both religious and non-religious contexts, faith is “trust” in something or someone.…

    Song Of Solomon Literary Analysis

    In "Song of Solomon" the women take somewhat of a backseat compared to the men. There are plenty of strong and important female characters in this work but they become disposable to the men. For example Macon Dead II loved the thrill of taking off Ruth's shoes and stocking but as time passed he simply hated her and wasn't afraid to hit her either. From Ruth's perspective she just craved loved and wanted someone to fill her void since he husband would no longer show her an ounce of appreciation. Ruth then decided that Milkman would be her champion and she would love him and hopefully that love would be reciprocated and this relationship would eventually lead her to breastfeeding Milkman even when he was too old for it and thus him receiving…
