...first three responses are each worth 30% of the exam, and the final question is worth 10%. Be sure to apportion your time accordingly. 1. To whom do the terms “messiah” and “son of God” first refer in the Bible? Where (book and chapter) would you find the stories about the first individuals to hold those titles? To what extent do these titles have the same meaning in the gospels as they have in the Hebrew Bible? (30% of exam) Messiah is a Hebrew word. It means to be anointed- the king. In David, the word Messiah means the son of God was first used in the story of the descendants. Saul was referred as a Messiah by Samuel in Samuel 1but he failed to please God and David was the one who was Messiah and even God favored him. In the New Testament: all the gospels like in Mark1:1, Mathew, 1:1, Jesus, were referred as Son of God and even Messiah. Peter also addresses to the crowd after Jesus’ death that Jesus, the crucified person was the King- the Messiah, who protected the people of Israel which was the Christianity message indeed. The son of god means in Hebrew bible that someone who is the King, basically the king of Israel and who is faithful to God. In the New Testament, Jesus was referred as Son of God as he used to do miracles by curing the sick and possessed. Jesus was the king of Jews. He proved this by sacrificing his life and forgiving all the sins of the people. Messiah mean anointed one, in Hebrew bible, Messiahs were priests and the kings like David...

...Worldview Worldview is the core of beliefs by which we view the world around us. In other words it is our intuition or perspective of our world. Our worldview is influenced by filter in our lives. Filters can vary from the Bible, to what we watch on TV, to the views our parents brought us up with. Through our filters we make decisions on how to live. How we see the world is the result of how we live our lives. The Question of Origin “How did life begin?” Biblical Worldview believes God is the creator of life. As we exam the Bible we find supporting scriptures. In “Genesis 1:26” it clearly states God created man. Also in “Genesis 2:7” it reiterates and gives detail on how man was formed by God. If we go back to “Genesis 1:1”, we see that nothing was in existence except for God, the Creator. The Question of Identity “What does it mean to be a human?” Christians identify themselves as made in God’s image “Genesis 1:26-27”. In “Genesis 1:26, 28” we see God gives humans the power to rule over animals, which explains why they say they are above animals. Also, they were called to be caretakers “Genesis 2:15”. Christians do share some of the same characteristics traits as God’s, which support their belief of being made in His image. The Question of Meaning or Purpose “Why do we exist?” Christians find meaning and purpose in their relationship with God. This relationship can only be obtained through Jesus “John14:6”. Once salvation is obtained, believers focus on serving...

...us." Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith 62.1 (2010): 16-24 Introduction: The goal of this work is to exam and critique an article about Reformed theology, an area regarding the relationship between the physical world and the Bible, and discussing common misconceptions regarding the harmonization of the Bible and the natural world. This review will cover a quick summation of the article, followed by a critical analysis about its main ideas and points. The author, Mary Vandenberg, believes while the Reformed theological tradition’s basic idea of harmonizing the physical world and the Bible can be appreciated, there are some misconceptions about proper concordance between the two. Summary: The author begins with an explanation of what the Reformed Tradition is, and why it is important. She continues by explaining his main point, that while the idea of concordance physical world and the Bible is a good one, there are problems specifically with how the two are in concordance with regards to the natural world, and with regards to God. She explores these ideas by examining the words of many different Reformists over the years, back to John Calvin of the 16th century. Using the words of John Calvin, she examines the idea that the revelation of God, as represented through both the natural world, and the Bible, must be viewed from the perspective of the Bible. She concludes with the key point that scientific findings should enhance our appreciation of God and the majesty...

...Western Civilization Midterm Exam The basis for the development of western civilization stems over hundreds of years and involved many different cultures and regions. As civilization evolved different cultures naturally had an impact on one another. The Hebrews, Greeks and Romans did just this, influence one another and these influences carried on to life, as it is known today. From 1500-900 B.C. the Hebrews proved to be a pliable society who endured very hard times coming out with their culture relatively unbroken. The Hebrews were known for their cultural and spiritual laws, rules and morals. The ancient world was a harsh place to thrive and within the harshness they introduced morality and justice. Their belief in one god and their god is something that has extended over hundreds of years and continues into today’s culture. The nucleus of the Hebrew legal belief is found in the Ten Commandments, which is found in the bible. The Bible has had the greatest single influence on religion, ethics, and literature of the West. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all rooted in the scriptures of the Hebrews. Christianity evolved out of Judaism. Jesus and his early followers were Jews, and probably considered themselves Jewish reformers rather than founders of a new religion. The Christian Bible incorporated the Jewish Bible, so the bulk of Christianity's most sacred writings are Jewish as well. Muslims also regard the Jewish and Christian scriptures as important, and many passages...

...Essay Question 3 In a human’s life, it takes a great amount of wisdom and diligence to become successful. Thus, those who are lazy and foolish will have little chance of climbing to the top. Subsequently, one cannot help but wonder what the difference between diligence and laziness is, as well as between wisdom and folly, and the book of Proverbs is one that offers explanations to such a question. First, it is important that people comprehend the difference between diligence and laziness as stated in Proverbs. While being diligent means being prepared, and on top of things, a lazy person is one who often put off work that can be done today until tomorrow. In Proverbs, these two characteristics are often mentioned. Proverbs 6:6-11 comments that: Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man (NIV). The book describes a lazy person as a “sluggard” who stays in one place. Moreover, a sluggard has to be made to get out of bed to be of any productivity. Unlike the ant that is productive and diligent, a sluggard will not gain anything. Next, the relationship between wisdom and folly must also be taken into account...

Texts from the Bible stand at the center of analysis, while accompanying textbooks help us to contexualize biblical materials within history. Each week revolves around a particular theme with one lecture on the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and one on the New Testament. Themes include creation, birth, the hero, the mountain, the community, the Temple, suffering, and the end of time. As we place biblical texts in their historical contexts, we will consider the Bible as a literary work with distinct genres, themes and conventions. The thematic connections between the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament will be explored at the same time that differences in their style and message are investigated. While reading the Bible, we will develop a vocabulary for discussing literary texts as well as a vocabulary specific to texts from the ancient world. This lively and pluralistic course provides a thorough introduction to the literature of the Bible. Course Objectives ...

Why?” (Leininger 2) He is doing step #1(a) because he asks why we should get rid of that kind of anger as Jesus says. “Why would Jesus come down so hard on something as seemingly trivial as name-calling?” (Leininger 2) He is doing step #1(a) because he asks a question about name-calling. “Does the punishment fit the crime?” (Leininger 3) He is doing step #1(a) because he asks whether the punishment in the passage fits the crime. b) Look at the literary structure of the passage. “Jesus starts off with one of the problems that ALL relationships sometimes face…anger.” (Leininger 1) He is doing step #1(b) because he finds out the literary structure of the passage is all the problems relate to anger. c) Look at literary context of the passage “The mirror we use today is the Sermon on the Mount, this incredibly detailed set of instructions concerning our relationships with...

Home: 895-8559 (Please, no calls after 9 p.m.) REL. 222: Religions of the World Aim of the Course This course explores the religious dimension of human existence, by introducing students to eight of the world’s major religious traditions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The aim of the course (through readings, lectures, and discussions centered mainly on selections from each religion’s sacred scriptures) is to gain an appreciative understanding of the basic teachings and practices of the religions, as well as an insight into how they motivate and inspire their adherents. In a “survey” course such as this one, it is inevitable that breadth will be emphasized at the expense of depth. In an attempt to achieve at least some degree of depth, we will read one relatively short sacred text, Hinduism’s Bhagavad-Gita, in its entirety—a little bit each day, all throughout the course. Prerequisite There is no prerequisite for this course. Course Requirements 1. Class Participation (20% of final grade). There are two components to this requirement, each constituting approximately 10% of your final grade. a) Your oral contributions to our class discussions. Formal study questions will be provided for each...

...2014 Final Exam Ronnie Spears Dr. Tolokun Omokunde Introduction to Biblical Languages May 30, 2014 Week 2 Reflection Paper “Off the Shelf and into Yourself” In this modern time of electronic explosion, using the right tools to properly exegesis the word of God is crucial. Not eliminating the bible as the concrete foundation of our Christian knowledge but allowing other resources to become windows in our biblical mansion. The author Mr. Black is sharing with us the necessity of having the right tools to properly make application of the word of God. Greek is the language used by the Gentiles in the New Testament and to adequately teach or preached the New Testament scriptures one need understand Greek translations. There are tools to assist in understanding Greek and we must take advantage of them just like a mechanic always update their tools according to modernization of cars. Paul writes to Timothy and states “to study to show ourselves approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”, (II Tim. 2:15). The author recommends ten essential tools in using and understanding Greek in ministry, which six of those tools will be discussed in this assignment. Let me establish that all of the tools are essential although I am discussing only six. The first tool is an English bible, whether the King James, (which is the recommended one), the Amplified Bible or whatever your preference is, one need a bible that adequately...

...Janel Adrianne D. Dihiansan TH 121 – DD Ms. Puen November 27, 2013 Revelation in Our Midst In general, God reveals Himself through His creations. It is God’s self-communication, which is accessed in faith through grace. It is a gift. It is directed to the entire human race, and it is a matter of how we receive His message and interpret it in our own ways. The truths revealed may be inaccessible to the human mind – mysteries, even when revealed; the intellect of an ordinary man is incapable of fully penetrating. God reveals Himself in word and in deed. The essence of revelation lies in the fact that it is the direct speech of God to His people. Revelation does not stop even if someone else is delivering the message of God. The best example for this is Jesus Christ. Jesus was sent to us by His Father to proclaim His words and wisdom. He is the sole and universal mediator between God and all of humanity. Jesus is both human and divine. He is divine in the sense that He is the Incarnate Son of God. He is human in the sense that He walked this very earth and preached His Father’s teachings in a language understandable to all. Honestly, I do not have a very strong faith in God. Yes, I believe in Him and His teachings; I believe they are right and just. But if I actually think about it more realistically, is God really controlling every thing that is happening around us? Is He always in the “behind the scenes” part of our lives and our decision making process? For...
