... The nature of God in Genesis The depiction of God in the Bible’s story of creation, namely Genesis, brings to mind the image of an almighty and powerful God. (Genesis 1:1) starts with the introduction “In the beginning, God created heaven and earth” suggesting that he was alone in the void. Either out of boredom or perhaps out of a need to have someone else to confirm his greatness therefore creating the earth, plants, animals and most important, mankind. Throughout the book, God consistently makes poor decisions, and then eventually acts to fix the situation. Throughout Genesis, God accepts the fact that humans make mistakes and accepts their imperfection. God changes from one who does not tolerate...

...In the Genesis, most stories revolve around relationships between men, while female characters seem to have less important roles in these stories. However, Rebecca plays a key role in many of the stories in the Genesis. Rebecca is a very integral character in the Book of Genesis. Her portrayal affects the story and relationship of Jacob and Esau and the future Israel. Her role as the mother of Jacob and Esau, and also as the wife of Isaac, has helped in the development of the story of Israel. In addition, the way she is depicted in terms of kin relationship is very different and quite unique compared to the ways in which the male kin relationships are articulated. The woman has been portrayed as an integral figure in promoting kin relationships and impacting on the role...

...After reading through Genesis 1-11, it become apparent that the natural world was created by the all might God for man to enjoy, and throughout history, mankind has an inclination to stray from God’s plan to follow their own. This straying would inevitably result in man’s depravity and consequences from God himself. From the start of Genesis we see a progression of mankind’s morality drifting further and further from God. Man strays so far down the path of evil that God Himself regrets the world he created (Genesis 6:6-7). Ever since Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s first commandment, His creation has been plunged into darkness, and the natural order of the world has been turned upside down. When one reads through the first eleven chapters of...

...Introduction The Holy Bible is full of mysteries, from the creation of the world or the beginning in Genesis to the end of time in Revelations; the Bible is full of captivating stories and teachings for mankind to attain salvation. One such mystery is that of the sons of God and the Nephilim in Genesis 6, an intriguing passage that recounts the existence of giants, called the Nephilim, that roam the earth in the days of Noah.

Over the years, American culture has grown uncomfortable with matters of growing old and death. The basis of this thinking is rooted in the mind and influenced by society. There is an ever increasing desire that’s rampant across our nation to remain young. This can be seen in the media, marketing for different products from makeup to apparel. Americans want to remain young for as long as they possibly can. In 1984, the band Alphaville came out with the song “Forever Young” to express America’s heart cry. However, aging and death is a part of life and a direct result of the fall of man. Aging and death were not the original condition of humanity, rather punishment that resulted from rebellion against God’s commandment. This paper examines why there is aging and death, America’s response to it, and a solution to rightly mature in the process. Since long ago America’s heart cry has been to stay young forever. In 1984, the band Alphaville came out with the song “Forever Young” to communicate the nation’s desire. In cities across the country and around every turn, materialism is vocalizing the longing for youth everlasting. This constant...

...the text. (DeSeliva, 2004) In studying the text or words it’s clear that inner texture, intertexture, and ideological texture are used to provide the interpreter with a clear understanding of the author’s original words and meaning. In 1999, Robbins wrote a research paper on “ Social-Rhetorical Interpretation from its Beginnings to the Present”. (Robbins, 1999) In his paper, he states, “social–rhetorical interpretation began with analysis and interpretation of social and cultural dynamics in written works”. Robbins pointed out several essay and books that were written by him and other authors. These works described social-rhetorical interpretations that were used to show how the multi-textural approach brings insights of various modes of interpretation into practices. In viewing this from a global perspective, in 2001 at a conference hosted in South Africa. Ted Hiebert, professor of Old Testament at McComick Seminary, presented an interpretation of Genesis 11(“ The Tower of Babel”) that affirms God’s will for cultural diversity on the earth. However, several of the South African scholars attending the conference interpreted the scripture different than the professor. The derive factor was they believed that Genesis teaches that God does not want different cultural and linguistic groups to live together. Although there were two interpretations of this scripture, there were many similarities in the overall interpretation of the scripture. Hiebert concluded that interpreter’s...

...universe. Curiosity has led to questions of how the universe began. (LaRocco and Rothstein) Most scientists would teach that the earth has always been in existence. The debates focus either from a religious point of view or a secular or worldly point of view. These two thoughts will be compared and discussed in this paper. The Big Bang Theory The people who believe this theory think the universe began because of a large explosion. Many scientists teach this Big Bang happened some 15 Billion years ago. This event was an explosion “filling all of space with all of the particles of the embryonic universe.” (LaRocco &Rothstein) This theory is about ridiculous, because it is not really plausible to believe anything it states. How can an empty earth just happenstance into existence? This is exactly why they call it a theory. There is no evidence anywhere to prove this theory. Six-Day Creation While there are many people who believe in the evolution of the universe, there are believers that follow the Biblical creation model. To these people, the creation took God only six 24 hour days. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) The first chapter in the Bible thoroughly details every single aspect of the Biblical creation model. The Bible is from a literal God and should be read and taught as literal viewpoint. Time was created by God and time never changes in the Bible. The earth was created...

...Have you ever wondered if math can be a subject found in the Bible? In taking this class, I began a journey that made me consider the subject from a Biblical standpoint. According to Merriam-Webster.com, the definition of mathematics is defined as, “the science of numbers and their operations”. In this paper, we will evaluate three different occasions where math references were used in the Bible. The first point that we will be looking at is how addition can be found in the Bible. The book of Genesis presents an example of how addition played a role. “And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; called his son Seth: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred years: and he died.” (Genesis 5:3-5, King James Version) It is clear from the picture painted above that 130 years are added to 800 years to equal the complete years Adam lived, which was 930 years (Keister, 1982). The Lord could have enlightened the author’s mind to publish that Adam lived a long life. However, the author explained in detail how many years Adam lived before and after the birth of his son, Seth. Furthermore, one can conclude that this detailed description was placed with the purpose of helping the reader to see the mathematical aspect behind it. The second point we will be discussing in our search for mathematical wisdom in...

One of God’s most cherished creations, Lucifer, was placed in charge of guarding his royal thrown (Ezekiel 28:12-16). One day Lucifer took pride in his own beauty and his heart was filled with pride (Ezekiel 28:17). He began to think highly of himself and began to think wrongly of God. He began to take what rightfully belonged to God and began to put himself in God’s place. For the first time in all creation, one of his own had sinned against him. God judged him accordingly and placed him in the lake of fire (Matthew 25:41). The sacred scriptures tell us that after the fall, Lucifer was thereafter known as the Devil or the accuser. One question that remains to be answered is this: when did this event occur? Some theologians claim that Satan’s fall occurred before Genesis 1:1. Others contend that there was a gap that took place between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2. Yet others...

...Essay 4 Research paper Title: Because magical girls still beat giant robots G00: 6371 ENC 1101 Tues/Thurs 11:00-12:20 1 . In the world of television Japanese style cartoons known as “anime” has seen a recent boom in popularity. A large amount of anime has gone on to become classics in the eyes of its viewers but not everyone makes the cut. Some anime shows really do nothing more than waste peoples time with their lack of inspiration and artistic skill. This can be seen quite clearly the difference after comparing the anime “Sailor moon” and the new version of “Neo Genesis Evangelion”. Sailor moon surpasses Neo Genesis Evangelion in a nearly countless number of ways From the character development, to the plot , even the general impact these shows had on society Sailor moon comes out on top every time. First off Sailor Moon has a much better character development than Neo Genesis Evangelion. In sailor moon the main character Usagi doesn’t seem all that special outside of a need abnormally large need to spend time at the arcade and day dream in a fairly pragmatic society that disapproves of such actions. That changes when she is visit by a talking cat named Luna and told that she must fight to protect humanity. This basic plot outline is one of the biggest changes to how the magical girl genre of anime works. Magical girls were usually told to just have fun with their new found powers but for sailor moon it’s not fun it’s her job. There...

...and everyone is susceptible to getting their identity stolen or compromised. So how did we get here you may ask? Well, that a good question. Brief History Identity thief is not something new despite the belief that it began with the internet. It has been around for thousand years or more. One of first recorded Identity thief in history and perhaps one of the greatest to occur happen in the Bible. It is The Blessing of Jacob by Deception (Genesis 27:1-46, King James Version). Jacob the youngest son of Isaac deceives his father by claiming to be his oldest brother, Esau (eldest son of Isaac) in order to receive the blessing that was reserved for the firstborn son. And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pay thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me. (Genesis 27:19, King James Version). Concerned that he may be deceived Isaac touched his son and asked him if he was Esau for Jacob did not sound like Esau. Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am. (Genesis 27:24, King James Version) For that brief moment in time Jacob assumed (stole) Esau identity. By stealing the blessing reserved for the firstborn son, Jacob...

...RESEARCH PAPER on “How the Bible and evolution clashes, why is the knowledge of the Doctrine of Creation is important to understand?” THEO 525 LUO (fall 2013) Systematic Theology I Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary October 11, 2013 Creation and Evolution clashes, when there are changes being made to the age of the earth and the creation of man. The structure is described in the Bible as God created it; however, it describes the earth before the six days of creation. When thinking about the integration of evolutionary principles, as far as the scientific laws are concerned, there is no difference between the origin of the earth and all of its life. Could the Big Bang theory have happened? The Gap Theory, everything made out of nothing. Is the Gap Theory real? Luther sided with the Bible and creation, is his blessing relevant today? Was the earth created out of nothing, no previous atoms did God use? God created the heavens and the earth in six days so we had the seventh day for Shabbat. The Progressive Creation explains the Genesis flood and the six days of creation. So the question is could God really have created everything in six literal days? If so, where did the origins of life come from; and what about the Law of Nature, their survival of the fittest? How big is the rift between the evolutionist and the creationist? Can we trust the Bible to tell us the truth? These are the questions that I will be looking for an answer to. In evolution...

...Ch.2 Week 2 Notes: Cosmogonic myths pick up the action at a point just before the divine touch creates time and space. Before this critical moment, though there are often gods or a god preceding the world or the physical universe, the only thing that exists is the infinite potential of chaos. Not unlike the Genesis account of creation, most of the world’s creation myths begin with an eternal being sleeping within or hovering in contemplation above the infinite abyss of a primeval sea. These waters represent the “chaos” of a world without physical form, where no height, no depth, no breadth, no time, and no created beings exist. All is quiet; everything rests in a state of infinite potential. At the decisive moment, potential universes give way to the one in which we actually live. * Maclagan suggests, in Creation Myths: Man’s Introduction to the World, that Cosmogonic narratives are patterned after the following themes: (1)inner and outer; (2) horizontal and vertical; (3) something from nothing; (4) the conjugation of opposites; (5) world order and the order of worlds; (6) descent and ascent; (7) earth body and sacrifice; and (8) death, time, and the elements. In these various schemes, we see areas of overlap, which suggests that a finite number of motifs are at work in creation myths. * Weigle’s Creation and Procreation: Feminist Reflections on Mythologies of Cosmogony and Parturition presents the most nuanced typology of creation myths.

...Research Paper The Babylonian Empire and the Old Testament Submitted to Dr. Curtis Fitzgerald, Ph.D, In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the completion of the course OBST 520 LUO (Summer 2014) Old Testament Orientation II Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary Marcus Banks-Bey_L2444950 June 29, 2014 Thesis Statement This research paper will discuss, and review the history of the Babylion Empire, its rulers, and the Empire’s influential relationship upon some of the major events which developed within Old Testament literature. Introduction Through my research, it is my intent to identify significant points within the history of the Babylion Empire, including its origins, development, expansion, eventual decline, and why it became a focal point of many of the major events of the Old Testament. From the Great Empire of Akkad, Babylon became a major seat of learning, culture, and technology. More than simply a city-state of defiance, and sinful practices, Babylon’s influence, very often viewed through a negative scholarly lens, shaped the history of Asia Minor, Northern Africa, and the world when approached from a biblical standpoint. As such, Babylon remains a critical, powerful nation in relation to its nation-state of Israel, and Old Testament history. Nimrod The Cushite The first nation-state identified within contemporary Biblical literature is the land that is “Ethiopia”, as mentioned...
