...The Need For Discernment, of the Coming of False Prophets in our LifeTime. by Dallas Roberts on Friday, October 14, 2011 at 8:57am To those who are called, beloved in Yah the Father and kept for His Anointed: May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. Beloved, being very eager to write to you of our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the discernment which was once delivered to the saints. Anointing does not guarantee we will always speak the truth. Yah anoints people, but people can twist the Scriptures to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:16). The false Messiahs that Yeshua warned of will come close to deceiving even Yah's elect. This is not because their anointing is false, but because they are false. It is not judgmental to insist on seeing fruit. Paul was certainly an anointed man of Yah; yet when he wrote to Yah’s people, he said nothing about how anointed he was but instead reminded them of His Christlike character, writing, “You are witnesses, and God also, how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you who believe” (1 Thessalonians 2:10). There are plenty of people who speak in tongues and demonstrate great spiritual giftings, but the people of Berean are commended, not because they recognized Paul’s anointing, but because they were skeptical of it. For even though they received Paul’s preaching with all readiness, they nevertheless “searched the Scriptures daily to find...

...situations or issues in a Christian way. In this book he describes the steps to become a better counselor so they can be able to try and help those who need it the most. There are also other people who try to help people become a better and more experienced counselor. The book, “Discipleship Counseling” by Dr. Neil T. Anderson is basically a guide that helps people become a more spiritual Christian counselor. There are steps to get them to be able to help others using scripture and the Bible. He tells how to start a counseling ministry with your church and all the steps you will have to take in order for it to become a success (pg 345). He also talks about how to overcome certain issues such as, deception, bitterness, false guidance, pride, habitual sin, and ancestral sin. This book will tell the reader a lot about what it takes to become a good counselor and to be able to help those who cannot help them selves. Dr. Anderson tells us how we can help others just by using the scriptures in our Bibles, because its just basically a manual on how we should be in our lives and how to treat everyone we come in contact with. Dr. Anderson also talks about how to define mental health and understanding how biblical counseling addresses the whole person. It seems the way he describes it that most of the “mental illnesses” that people seem to have tend to be more spiritual more then mental. He also shows the different forms and steps to take to be able to have your own ministry to help others...

...Lizzie J. Smith Module 1: Assignments Healing Hospital: A Daring Paradigm HLT- 302 Spirituality and Christian Values in Healing Care and Wellness Sunshine Weeks Eric Chapman, founding president and chief executive officer of the Baptist Healing Trust in Nashville, Tennessee, envisioned a healing hospital that would cover not only the physical aspects of healing but the emotional and spiritual components (ericchapman.com, n.d.). My work will describe the healing hospital paradigm and how spirituality influences this paradigm. In addition, barriers to the Healing Hospital paradigm will be discussed along with Biblical scripture that supports compassion in the health care system. The healing hospital paradigm it focuses on the removal of stress and other health risks in the hospital environment for both patients and visitors. . The healing hospital paradigm it involves in healing the whole client (Young & Koopsen, 2006, p. 4) instead of just curing the disease. This emerges from the paradigm’s focuses on healing beyond the body physical: it aims to enhance the overall well being by addressing the patient’s and their families’ cognitive, emotional and spiritual concerns (Milstein, 2005). A healing hospital goes beyond windows, walls, and mortar. Its strong culture of love and caring is what sets it apart from traditional hospitals (Chapman, 2010, p.15)... The concept is to supporting a strong culture of caring for their patients and caregivers. Healing...

She now, however, is trying to give up (sacrifice) her obscene language because she feels like she cannot reap the benefits of being a servant of her god if her language is not pure. She does not want to grieve her higher being, so she sacrificed her abhorrent language. Sacrifice occurs in Buddhism when practicing Sutra and one adopts the practice of abstaining from sensual enjoyments.

...Methods of Evangelism Paper Part ONE - Evangelistic Method #1 The Four Spiritual Laws is an intellectual method of evangelism, which, as it’s title suggests, identifies four spiritual laws that direct an individual’s relationship with God. It was created by Dr. Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, in 1952. The four laws, as sited on CampusCrusade.com, are: (1) God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life. (2) Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for his life. (3) Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for man’s sin. Through Him you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life. (4) We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives. An advantage of this method is that it begins with positive note, “God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life,” which may cause non-Christians to be more receptive to the message. Due to the fall and sin, mankind is at variance with God (Ephesians 2:13-16) and there may be a tendency to reject a message concerning God without ever hearing the message. However, starting with such a positive introduction may cause an individual to “lower his guards” so he can hear the Gospel. Another advantage of this approach is that it can be easily communicated in print form and makes for a useful tract, especially considering the positive opening law. One disadvantage...

...viewpoints. There has been a controversy with Chick-fil-A restaurants in the past weeks. This controversy began when Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy said he supported the “biblical definition of the family unit”. The controversy caused opposition from both sides. Christians rallied and supported Chick-fil-A on customer appreciation day and gay-right advocates boycotted the restaurant chains. The Gay & Lesbian Alliance against Defamation (GLAAD) supported a “National Same-Sex Kiss Day” the Friday following Chick-fil-A’s customer appreciation day. Mr. Cathy’s simple expression of his biblical belief created tons of controversial comments. Like, Mr. Cathy everyone has their opinion and beliefs on same-sex marriage. Christian’s belief what the bible teaches. Marriages should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral (Hebrews13:4). I happen to share the same belief that Mr. Cathy does. Why is it that in this controversy Christians cannot voice their opinion without reprimand? Some of the consequences from this controversy are the removal of some of Chick-fil-A’s restaurants. Some cities and college campus’ want Chick-fil-A restaurants removed. The University of Kansas does not want Chick-fil-A’s contract renewed. The mayor’s in Boston and Chicago have told the restaurant chains that they are not welcomed in their cities. However, Mike Huckabee the former governor of Arkansas and 2008 presidential candidate has rallied...

...materialism. The weakest arguments by far are his argument that inequality of possessions is the way God intended things to be, that this is a good thing that gives glory to God. While extreme wealth and extreme poverty are both considered 'bad things' there's no way of drawing a line, no attempt at working out how some inequality is good but too much inequality is bad. Nor is there recognition that in the countries that have excelled in competition, profit making and generally getting rich is also the countries with the greatest inequality. So while it is good to be in business, and it is good to equip those who are called to business, this short book is unbalanced by taking complicated issues and making them black and white. For me is what the Bible is about taking a yes being a yes and a no meaning don’t do it, nor go there because he gives you all the reasons of what happens in evil deeds. Companies close, people go bankrupt and show on the news of people going to jail for fraud for being greedy. Hebrews 12:11 NIV No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. You must be fiscally disciplined in business. You cannot put all your hard work at risk by not being focused on your big picture goals and your monthly sales goals. It is painful at times, but it will produce quite a harvest. I believe the book Business for the Glory of God; was telling us to do just as the scripture...

...Hebrew Israelites HUM/130 Dr. John McGinn February 15, 2013 (Your Title Page looks good.) Hebrew Israelites An Israelite is a descendant of the scriptural patriarch Jacob. Jacob was the Grandson of Abraham and the son of Isaac. Jacobs name was changed to Israel (Genesis 32:28) and his descendants were called Israelites which denotes they are the children of Jacob or the Children of Israel. The Suffix “ITE” means a descent from. “ISRAEL-ITE” means a descendant of their father Jacob whose name was changed to Israel, but the question still remains, “Who are the modern day Hebrew Israelites”? How are Christian central beliefs different than an Israelites? (Work on opening paragraph - especially the thesis statement for your paper.) A Hebrew is a Descendant of the scriptural Patriarch Abraham. He is the first to be called Hebrew (Genesis 14:13). The Most High made a Covenant with Abraham and his seed. The Title Hebrew was passed on from Abraham to his Son Isaac and Isaac son Jacob and to Jacobs 12 sons who became the 12 tribes of Israel. The Israelites were known and called Hebrews mainly by outsiders or foreigners. The name means one who crosses over, or wander. It is also derived from Eber, which means "one who emigrates" and "beyond, on the other side." Abraham and his posterity being called Hebrews in order to express a distinction between the races east and west of the Euphrates River. It may also be derived from Heber, one of the ancestors of Abraham...

...never recorded in the Bible as saying the precise words, “I am God.” That does not mean, however, that He did not proclaim that He is God. Take for example Jesus’ words in (John 10:30), “I and the Father are one.” We need only to look at the Jews’ reaction to His statement to know He was claiming to be God. They tried to stone Him for this very reason. “… You, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33). The Jews understood exactly what Jesus was claiming—deity. Notice that Jesus does not deny His claim to be God. When Jesus declared, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30), He was saying that He and the Father are of one nature and essence. John 8:58 is another example. Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am!” The response of the Jews who heard this statement was to take up stones to kill Him for blasphemy, as the Mosaic Law commanded them to do (Leviticus 24:15).Jesus clearly claimed to be the Messiah and Son of God: Jesus told the Samaritan woman that he is the Messiah (John 4:25-26), Jesus affirmed Peter's statement that he is the Messiah and Son of God (Mt 16:15-17, see also Mark 8:29-30, Luke 9:20-21), Jesus told the high priest that he is the Messiah and Son of God (Mark 14:61-62, Mt 26:63-64, Luke 22:70. If a person is a Christian, does it matter how they live their life? This is a good question to ask because true Christians certainly do follow the laws of the land that they live in. This is an important teaching of the Bible (for example,...

...Worldview Essay Part 1 What is a Worldview? A worldview is a person’s core beliefs. It comprises of “one's collection of presuppositions, convictions and values from which a person tries to understand and make sense out of the world and life” (MacArthur, 2006). Weider and Gutierrez (2011), sums up worldview as “1. A personal philosophy of life 2. A framework a person brings to decision making 3. A filter or lens which a person uses to interpret life and the world around them”. (p. 51). Essentially, a worldview is a combination of what worldly individuals believe to be true that ultimately becomes the driving force behind every emotion, decision and action. Part Two The Question of Origin: How Did Life Begin? How Did Mankind Come Into Existence Genesis 1:26 supports the origin of life and the existence of mankind. Accordingly, God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them (Genesis 1:27) He formed man from the dust of the earth (Gen 2:7) which this would seem to support Pantheism if you stopped reading there. This also means that our origin is from God and we were put here to have dominion over the earth. The Question of Identity: What Does It Mean To Be Human? Are Humans More Important Than Animals? From a Biblical perspective, humans are more impotent than animals. Jesus talks about this in Mathew by explaining that we are worth more than many sparrows. The most profound part of his explanation was...

...Essay #4 God used Hosea as an example of His love towards Israel and how Israel was rebelling against Him by serving idols. He told Hosea to go after his wife who was fornicating around and to forgive her and take her back. God so badly wanted to take Israel under His wing and to protect her but she would have nothing to do with that. Even the names of Gomer’s children represented the nature of Israel unfaithfulness, Jezreel (God’s Sows) was the place of God’s judgment on the house of Ahab ((II Kings 9-10) EOTS pg 372). Lo-Ruhamah (“not pitied”), meant that the Lord would not show mercy as He punished Israel for its sins, Lo-Amni (“not my people”), indicated that Yahweh would sever His relationship with Israel as punishment for their covenant unfaithfulness. (EOTS pg.373). The scenes that we see today in America resembles what the prophets foretold of Israel in the Old Testament. What will be our Waterloo? Will we open ours eyes in time before destruction comes? This nation is heading for a fall and I pray that the Children of God will be spared. There are a lot of similarities between the prophet Joel and Jeremiah. To read Joel is like reading the Book of Lamentations. Joel is giving the warning to their coming captivity but apparently Israel does not want to listen. One bright outlook for Israel is Joel does prophesy that Israel will be redeemed. Joel gives Israel hope for the future, he gives the church the same hope of the return of our Lord to set up His millennial...

...What is a Worldview Melletta Spinner APOL 104-B60 LUO 09/09/2013 What is a Worldview A person’s worldview is the perspective from which they see and interprets the world. Derived from the German word weltanschauung meaning “world perception” (Hindson et al. 2008,). The Bible is used as a filter when seeing things from a biblical worldview. The question of origin asks “How did life begin?” Genesis 1:26 states God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness. Without God we would not exist or the world around us. Isaiah 45:12 says that it God who created the earth and mankind on it. The question of Identity asks “What does it mean to be a human?” and “Are humans more important than animals?” Genesis 1:26 states and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.

...Same Sex Marriage Throughout the government we have the freedom to act on many things. Such as the freedom of speech, the freedom to practice our own beliefs, and the freedom of choice, but when it comes to the same sex population the government denies these freedoms by not allowing them the choice to marry their significant other. Within this essay I hope to shed some light on how it may affect a same sex partnership not being able to join in matrimony, but also how the government and religion play a part in denying these rights to the same sex society. If we were to sincerely look in to the lives of a same sex couple we would see the same things we go through as straight couples; we love one another, we fight with each other, we are passionate about our other half, and we are dedicated to our relationships. When we deny the acceptance of these emotions and actions we are taking away what it is to be in a relationship. We are becoming what we teach our children not to be. We ourselves are bullies. In doing so we are hurting many same sex couples by taking their lives away and their self-worth. Telling them they are wrong, they are sinners, and we band them to hell, but really what for, what is the true reasoning behind it? Is this really what God wanted? While we think about our government we think that it is unbiased and they are doing what is best for our country, but that seems to not be as true for the same sex community. Day after day they have to face...

...Hebrew Wisdom on Diligence and Laziness Bible 105-B27 LUO: Old Testament Survey 201320 Spring 2013 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx L33333333 Liberty University February 24, 2013 Hebrew Wisdom on Diligence and Laziness There is a great deal of Hebrew wisdom in the Bible in regards to the subjects of diligence and laziness. Throughout the book of Proverbs the words of lazy and diligence can be found in many different forms. Sluggish, sluggard, and idle describe laziness. The word diligence can also be considered as, thorough, attentive, and persistence. Each of these words, found in the Bible, can reference diligence, and laziness within Hebrew Wisdom in many cases. The book of Proverbs is the Hebrew book of Wisdom. Its purpose is to provide practical instructions to live a wise, well ordered live. The difference between being diligent, wise, lazy, and having folly is knowledge. Proverbs addresses this in its first chapter: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Proverbs 1:7). This is the most basic ingredient in wisdom. All wisdom depends on knowledge of God and the submission to His will. To think or believe that you know something, but you do not know God negates the value of having knowledge. Wisdom comes from being faithfully diligent in the Word of God. Many positive effects come from being diligent. Some of those are wealth, wisdom, abundance, power, satisfaction, profit, and meaningfulness. Laziness brings...
