...Tabernacle and Temple Comparison The Tabernacle was a sanctified place where God chose to meet his people, the Israelites, during the 40 years they roamed in the desert under Moses’ guidance. The leaders and people came together to worship and offer sacrifices. The detailed layout of the Tabernacle and its courtyard is important because it shows God’s given way for man to approach Him. This setup informed the Israelites they could only come to God in the way he prescribed. The Tabernacle entailed a tent-like structure covered by rug-like layers for a roof, and an exterior courtyard. The Tabernacle was separated into the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies (The Tabernacle Place, 2006). It was made of acacia wood boards coated with gold and fitted together to form the walls. On top, four layers of curtains represented a roof to protect the Tabernacle from sun and rain, the innermost layer was knitted with good linen and embroidered with angel figures, the second layer was made of goat’s hair, the third layer was made of rams’ skins dyed red, and the outermost layer was made of porpoise skins (The Tabernacle Place, 2006). The curtains were held to the ground with loops and clasps. The Tabernacle was enclosed by a tall fence made of lined draperies (The Tabernacle Place, 2006). The whole compound was surrounded by a high fence with only one entrance. The gate was concealed by a curtain or screen made of finely twisted linen with the colors blue, purple and...

...defined as “an assembly” or “called-out ones.” The root meaning of “church” is not that of a building, but of people. It is ironic that when you ask people what church they attend, they usually identify a building. Romans 16:5 says “… greet the church that is in their house.” Paul refers to the church in their house—not a church building, but a body of believers. A church is a holy place where Christians attend to worship the Holy God above. Belize church association Admiral of the Caribbean TEMPLES: In Jesus time, a temple was a common place of worship. The Jews would also go to the temples to study. There is a story in the bible about Jesus turning over tables in the temple of Jerusalem. (Matt 21:12) the peoples were using the temple to deceive and make money.

...behind so many offerings. Others that the book describes are Priesthood and The Inauguration of the Tabernacle Service. One of the more interesting parts of the first part of this book was when it talks about the sin of Nadab and Abihu. Nadab and Abihu were two of the four sons of Aaron. Aaron and his sons were chosen to bring up the line of priests. It says in Leviticus chapter 10: “Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put unholy fire before the Lord, such as He had not commanded them. And fire came forth from the presence of the Lord and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.” Nadab and Abihu disobeyed the Lord because He had not instructed them to bring fire into the Holy of Holies. They weren’t even allowed to go into the Holy of Holies; only the High Priest, who was Aaron, could do that and only on the Day of Atonement. While the actual sin that they did is not definitely known, some say that Nadab and Abihu were mocking the Lord and brought in incense from the neighboring cultures. At this time, Israelites were sinning because they did not listen to the Lord when He said not to mingle with the...

...Personal Life of Author and Focus of Book John Ortberg the author of The Life You’ve Always Wanted, If You Want To Walk On Water You’ve Got To Get Out The Boat and Love Beyond Reason was previously the teaching pastor at Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Illinois and is now on staff at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in Menlo Park, California. The following book review is concerning his work presented in The Life You’ve Always Wanted. There’s a point in every Christian’s life where you begin to ask questions like; am I doing all that I was created to do? Am I as intimate with God as I ought to be? Is this life I’m living pleasing to God? The list of questions could go on and on. John Ortberg’s book The Life You’ve Always Wanted gives very clear and precise ways for accurate analysis of our lives through a ministerial, biblical and cultural lens. Ortber’s perspectives, life examples and raw truths are vast and practical for pondering and application. This book voices a line of reasoning in the areas of Hope of Transformation, Spiritual Disciplines, a Well-Ordered Heart, and Living a Life of Endurance. Hope of Transformation Ortberg begins this book with the everlasting ache of disappointment many Christians have experienced as they continue in their personal relationships with God. He places great emphasis on the feeling of disappointment. He states “…the feeling of disappointment is not the problem, but a reflection of a deeper problem – my failure to be...

...Victor R. Betancourt L25462890 THEO 201 D12 Short essay #2 CHRISTOLOGY PT. 1 As I continue this study, there is a question that keeps coming to my mind. A question that millions of people may ask right now, probably my neighbor, maybe a nurse, a lawyer or maybe that person that God has prepared his/her heart for us to answer or guide them to the right direction. A question that was in my mind many years ago, and thanks be to God, He has respond to that question! Who is this Jesus? Even that the fullness of Christ is indescribable, I begin to grasp the amazing concept that He, being fully Man and fully God, loves each of us with a never-ending love the extent of which is hard for us to imagine. There is some biblical basis Jesus had to be born as a human being for several reasons. Gal 4:4-5 says, “To redeem those under law”. Only a perfect human (Jesus Christ) could perfectly keep the law and perfectly fulfill the law, and redeeming us from that guilt, which He accomplished on the cross. In His humanity, Jesus was subjected to all the same kinds of trials like us; therefore, He is able to sympathize with us and to help us. He was tempted; He was persecuted; He was poor; He was despised; He suffered physical pain. Only a human being could experience these things, and only a human being could fully understand them through experience. (Hebrews 4:15). We must affirm not only that Jesus was fully human, but also that he was fully divine. There are several passages where...

No Other Name Whereby Men Might Be Saved VII Conclusion: From There (Messianic Judaism) To Here (Christianity) VIII Bibliography Introduction Messianic Judaism is similar in beliefs to Christianity and it can pose some apologetic difficulties for a defense by Christians. While they (Christianity and Messianic Judaism) are similar in beliefs there are also some vast differences. As stated in Ephesians 4:4-6 “I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all”.

..."There Is Nobody Like Jesus" Hebrews 1:1-3 Introduction 1. H. G. Wells, the brilliant and noted historian, once listed the ten most famous and most important men of all of history, and he listed Jesus Christ as number one, now at first glance you might think that is marvelous. You might think that he did Jesus a favor. 2. Well I beg to differ, think it was an insult of the highest order. Because Jesus was not just a man among men, he was God among men. There is nobody like him. Never before was there one like him. Never since will there be one like him. Because there is nobody like Jesus. 3. Some anonymous author wrote this years ago: more than nineteen hundred years ago there was a man born contrary to laws of life. This man lived in poverty and was reared in obscurity ....only once did he cross the boundary of the country in which he lived; that was during his exile in childhood....in infancy he startled the king; in childhood he puzzled the doctors: in manhood he ruled the course of nature, walked upon the billows as if on pavement, and hushed the sea to sleep....he never wrote a book, and yet all of the libraries of the country could not hold the books that have been written about him....he never wrote a song, and yet he has furnished theme for more songs than all the songwriters combined.... He never founded a college, but all the schools put together cannot boast of having as many students.... Though time has spread many years between the people...
