    Bibl 104 Romans 1-8 Analysis

    We were fashioned for fellowship. This is not limited to just our small groups, our Church family, and our saved friends. We were created to build relationships with those, even the non-believers. We should love each person with the love of Christ, despite cultural differences. Paul talks about how the Jews cared for the law so much that they rejected the Gentiles. They did not feel as though they were worthy (which ultimately none of us are) enough to be redeemed by God and that they could not be justified. In Romans 3:28-30 Paul says, “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.”…

    Jesus In The Greco-Roman World Summary

    Childhood memories of dinnertime hold a special place in my heart. What used to be a daily experience of family unity and sharing is unfortunately now reserved for holidays and an occasional Sunday or birthday gathering. Rather than each family member drifting into his or her own individual world as their life grew busier, we always had the interaction during mealtime to strengthen our family bonds and enrich the daily experience of community life. My mother would create a meal consisting of either a pasta, or meat and potato type meal for our family of six. Our evening meal always included a salad, plenty of vegetables, and a basic dessert like brownies, pie, or ice cream. There was never an official dinner time since my dad’s schedule varied. Therefore,…

    Biblical References in "Song of Solomon"

    Pilate/Pontius Pilate- He was the Roman governor of Judea. The New Testament portrays him as generally weak and poor at making decisions. Jewish sources depict him as a strong figure of authority. Both sources, however, claim that he was unjustly hostile toward Jews. Jewish leaders took Jesus before Pilate. They said Jesus claimed to be The Messiah (King of Jews) and charged him with treason. Pilate discovered Jesus was from Galilee and sent him to Herod Antipas, Galilean ruler. Herod mocked Jesus and sent him back to Pilate. It was custom for the Roman governor to release one Jewish…

    Who Was Pontius Pilate?

    Chief priests and city elders of Jerusalem brought Jesus before Pilate to be trialed. Pilate ask Jesus if He was the King of the Jews and Jesus responded that he was. Jesus did not reply to any charge accused against Him and this amazed Pilate. Pilate followed the customs of the feast to release a single prisoner chosen by the crowd if they chose to condemn Jesus. The prisoner chosen was a man named Barabbas, a notorious criminal. Pilate asked the crowd which man they wanted set free: Jesus or Barabbas. The chief priests and elders had convinced the crowd to set Barabbas free and to execute Jesus, so when Pilate asked the question of who should be set free the crowd chose Barabbas. Pilate then asked what should he do to Jesus and the crowd responded with the sentence of crucifixion. Pilate could not find one thing wrong with Jesus or what he had done. Pilate found Jesus innocent and tried many times to convince the Jews that Jesus had done no harm. The crowd then said to Pilate that if he were to let the man go, then he would be no friend of Caesar because if Jesus claims to be a king then He opposes Caesar. After hearing this Pilate became fearful and handed Jesus over to the Jews to be crucified. Pilate washed his hands to show the crowd that he was innocent of this man's death. The crowd took full responsibility for Jesus' death and even put it on their children as well. Pilate…

    Paul's Cult In The Roman Empire

    There is a presence of cult in the Roman Empire, as it is filled with statues, temples and festivals. This according to Wright is ‘part of the fabric of society that it was bound to impress itself forcefully on the minds of all who inhabited such cities.’ The meaning behind this is that as Paul visited the Roman Empire, it was hard for him not become influenced by the social phenomena’s however, Wright states that Paul should say nothing about the imperial cult, and continue his travel of preaching. Whereas if Paul was to talk negatively about the festivals and Roman Empire. ‘Paul is not opposed entirely to everything to do with the Roman Empire, and on the other, that the main target of his critique is the imperial cult and its associated ideology.…

    Individuality is rejected as Titus and his family succumb give in to docile submission to the corporate world of advertising and manufacturing. Titus and his family are totally dependent on the feed, and thus leads to blind acceptance of the physical and moral decline that saturates society. Destruction of the earth is little concern to Titus providing he has unrestrained access to the feed and its delights, which he has no apperception of the immorality of his actions.…

    Christian Worldview: Paul's Letter To The Romans

    A worldview is how someone sees life, reasons for making decision, and the filter they use to understand life and everything in it (Weider & Gutierrez, 2011). Knowing what a worldview is makes it easier to understand what a Christian Worldview is. A Christian Worldview uses the Bible as its filter for understanding the world around us and how we should act. Paul addresses a lot of perspectives of the Christian Worldview in his letter to the Romans. Paul touches on the Christian worldview in the areas of the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture.…

    Jesus Crucifixion Case

    “And they began to accuse Him, saying, 'We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is Christ, a King.'” So Pilate proceeded to conduct a new trial of Jesus on the charge of treason. Jesus was carefully examined, especially regarding the allegations that Jesus claimed to be a king. A claim to be a king, would be a direct challenge to Caesar, and if true, would be grounds to put Jesus to death under Roman law. However, after examining Jesus, Pilate understood that Jesus was not claiming or seeking to be a king over a worldly empire.…

    Dr. Licona began with speaking about a time line. He stated that Jesus was crucified “April 30th.”Paul witnessed Jesus’ appearance and it changed his life. He went from “being a persecutor of the church, to one of its most able defenders”. Paul’s experience of the risen Jesus persuaded him to write about what happened and that’s important because we now study these writings to determine what happened. We are certain that “he wrote seven of his thirteen letters” This means that Paul’s letters are reliable and can be studied to determine that Jesus rose from the…

    Paul's Letter To The Colossian Church

    Paul's Letter To The Colossian Church

    Theme: The theme of Paul’s letter to the Colossian church is the centrality and supremacy of Christ. Christ is “the image of the invisible God” (1:15), “before all things” as the One who holds all things together (1:17), and the “head of the body, the church”. We can see that the Colossians were growing steadily in their faith in Christ and love for fellow believers (1:4) after first hearing the gospel roughly five years prior. That Paul continuously seeks to reaffirm the absolute authority and complete sufficiency of Christ indicates the presence of false teachers in the church. The Colossians are warned against believing “hollow and deceptive philosophy” in 2:8 which attempted to subvert the gospel’s emphasis of faith in Christ alone by worshipping…

    Why Is Paul Important To Christianity

    Paul is the most significant figure in all of Christianity. Although he was previously Saul and killed many Jews, God was able to convert him to a Jew/Christian which he hated most. This is such an inspiring story that shows the power of God and that anyone can become Christian no matter their background. Paul is the most significant person in Christian history because he wrote letters to the Church so they can change their ways from corruption, he wrote the most books in the Bible, and he shaped the theology of the Church.…
