...Anthony Henderson Turabian Theo-201 D16 Essay on Bibliology: Inspiration and Inerrancy of the Bible I n today’s society many people question the authority and inerrancy of the Bible. They want concrete proof of the inerrancy of the Bible and they question the inspiration and ability of the writers. When we say the Bible has authority, we must also show where the authority comes from. “Authority is the right and power to command, enforce laws, exact obedience, determine or judge”. Many people do not understand how much authority a book written thousands of years ago actually commands. The authority comes from God because the Bible is the Word of God. “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” We know God is truth and the Bible is His word. This knowledge leads us to conclude that the Bible is authoritative and true. The Bible is the inspired Word of God given to the writers of the scripture. “The content of the Bible teaches that it was given by the process of inspiration of God so that the words were God’s Word and that they are accurate and reliable, hence they are authoritative”. We read in the Bible how the prophets did not use their words, but were moved by the Spirit to speak God’s Words. We also see that the Spirit led them to write what God wanted to be written. The Bible is inspired, or “God-breathed”. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”. The question...

...relevance to the topic or item trying to be sold, Pathos stimulates the brain to feel good or excited or pumped up. This is normally done by showing pictures or videos of stimuli, things such as fast cars or skinner people. I used this right in the beginning of advertisement. I first showed a bigger person and said “Do you look like this?” then a skinner person that said “But want to look like this?” This really makes people think that they need to be skinner and want to see more about what the product is. For logos I used the Josh Peck picture at the end to show this. At first he was bigger and was alone, but once he used weight watchers then he was attracting the opposite sex. I also used the Josh Peck to convey the slippery slope fallacy. Slippery slope arguments falsely assume that one thing must lead to another. They begin by suggesting that if we do one thing then that will lead to another, and before we know it we’ll be doing something that we don’t want to do. So according to my advertisement Weight Watchers will help attract the opposite sex. Another fallacy I used in my advertisement was...

John the night time manager: If he is caught, he may face jail time and a criminal record that will be hard for him to be employ again. Getting quick cash is important to him. He value dishonesty because he doesn’t feel like it is wrong to take advantage of unaccounted car parts and basically steal money from the company that trusted him.

...the jurisdiction and adherence to professional responsibilities. Pereira, J. (2011) Legalizing euthanasia or assisted suicide: the illusion of safeguards and controls. Current Oncology, 18, e38-e45. Retrieved from: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3070710/pdf/conc-18-e38.pdf The bioethics article offers an extensive body of work that empirically analyzes the effectiveness of boundaries with euthanasia and PAS. The author contends that policy dictates mandatory reporting of euthanasia in practicing countries, but warns of several “transgressions” that occur within the current procedural structure. The main body of the article provides examples and studies to fortify the significant frequency of these transgressions. The slippery slope argument is also addressed. Where by the author documents the historical progression and expansion of the inclusion criteria for those who may be legally euthanized or have PAS. Initially, these measures were only offered as a last resort and terminal cases. The author maintains that the door was opened more liberally to euthanasia and PAS with the Groningen Protocol, in 2005. This “allows euthanasia of newborns and young children who are expected to have no hope...

...For example, on the video “Anti-smoking commercial” uses this commercial to connect to the audience feeling. The claim that this ad commercial uses a traumatic effect that smoker can have an effect in others is to connect their message to target an audience on their feelings that makes it real in a scary way. This commercial use slippery slope to capture the viewer with strong emotion in hope the viewer will consider the information with a stronger convection. The goal for this fallacy is to get the truth about secondhand smoking out there to keep people from smoking or keep them from starting to smoke. By using this strategy in various way throughout the ad ill ad the character and the decision that are begin made while a person chose to make. Slippery slope is to show how one event can cause others and the correlation between them. This message is showing that smokers are insensitive to those around...

...This one could be found in the last paragraph of the speech, where Malcolm X stated, “Tell him, don't wait until election time. If he waits too long, brothers and sisters, he will be responsible for letting a condition develop in this country which will create a climate that will bring seeds up out of the ground with vegetation on the end of them looking like something these people never dreamed of.” This statement is an example of the slippery slope fallacy because it is stating that if one event occurs, a chain of events will follow leading up to one big, negative outcome. This fallacy was probably used by Malcolm X to try and make the crowd react. However, Malcolm X also provided this fear-mongering statement to try and convince the audience that their actions will decide the future, and if they do not act now, disaster will surely await...

...gift bestowed by God is held highly by many religions and it is of most importance to them when the debate on assisted suicides arises. A gift from God should not be tampered with let alone destructed. Although the number of ethical issues involved is endless this paper will be focusing on three points. The first point engages in the ethics of assisted suicide and will involve the psychologically vulnerable and the elderly. The second ethical issue to be mentioned will be the presence and/or lack of a definition for a terminal illness. The last point is concerned with the human will to power and how this creates a problem should assisted suicide be permissible. These ethical issues, although strong convictions on their own, can lead to slippery slope arguments and must be looked at very carefully. In addition depending on the standpoint that one would take, these arguments have both strengths and weaknesses. Many people fear the process of aging. They become unable to continue the same lifestyle that they once had and they often are more ill and have to be looked after by family or others. The same can be said about the psychologically vulnerable who quite often have to depend on someone else to live as functional a life as possible. In this case we have two instances where people...

...Summary…………………………………………………………………………………….1 Critical Interaction………………………………………………………………………………...2 Conclusion Selected Bibliography Introduction This paper is a critical examination of Stephen Andrew’s “Biblical Inerrancy” as published January of 2002 in the Chafer Theological Seminary Journal. Andrew writes the article as a graduate student at Fuller Theological Seminary pursuing a Master of Arts in Theology. In the exposition he presents a historical overview of the biblical inerrancy debate and reviews arguments concerning inerrancy of the bible as relevant to modern evangelicalism. Due to spatial limitations, Andrew restricts his focus to examining the views in support of and against inerrancy from four major perspectives: the slippery slope, epistemological, historical, and biblical arguments. Brief Summary The article is written as an exhortation for the promotion and defense of the inerrancy doctrine while warning against a universal acceptance of all supporting arguments. Andrew opens by defining inerrancy according to Paul D. Feinberg1, as well as Article XII of the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy2; and “limited inerrancy” using a description by Stephen T. Davis3. He traces the debate from its origination in the late 19th century, with B.B. Warfield advocating inerrancy and James Orr opposing him in favor of limited inerrancy, through to its decline in the 1980s. He notes the apex of the debate as the publication of Harold Lindsell’s The Battle for the Bible4...

...Logical Fallacies American InterContinental University - Online PHIL201-1204A-02 October 20, 2012 Earl Barnett Logical Fallacies Fallacies are statements that might sound reasonable or sketchily true but are actually weak or dishonest. I will discuss and give me interpretation of some common logical fallacies. Mere Assertion & Circular Reasoning Mere Assertion is an argument that lacks factual support. It’s merely an opinion that is formed more so by belief then logical evidence. For example, “Robert is a vampire; I can feel his cold blood when I touch him.” This argument has no real logic behind it, only reasoning that makes sense to the person stating it. Circular Reasoning is an argument that aids support to a statement by repeating itself in a bolder definition. For example, I am human because my mother is human and my mother is human because I am human. Using the method of circular reasoning states that because I was conceived by my mother I am human as well. Both statements in my argument prove each other to be true, which makes my conclusion and premises the same. Ad Hominem & Red Herring Ad Hominem is an argument used to negatively portray ones character. This method of argument redirects ones attention from a certain topic by providing unrelated accusations about the person in support of the topic. For instance, in a court dispute over which parent should be granted full custody of their child, the defending lawyer states that the father...

...Discussion Board Slippery slope fallacy: My definition of this fallacy is that it occurs when an individual wrongly assumes that to forbid a reason of an action will inevitably lead to the occurrence of further related and other undesirable events. It is equally when a relatively insignificant first event, is suggested to lead to a more significant event. Which would, in turn, leads to another important event, and so on..., until some ultimate, important event is achieved. Thus, I shall conclude that if I do one thing, it will inevitably lead to a domino effect which will result in something terrible after that. Logical Form/example: If God, then Man, then Animal, ... then ultimately to inanimate things. If I buy Green Day album, then, Buzzcocks, etc. Premise 1: If I buy a Green Day album, then next, I’ll be buying Buzzcocks albums, and before I eventually know it I will be a punk with a green hair plus...

...On the other hand, Peter Carruthers’s arguments could have been stronger. Carruthers uses the slippery slope fallacy, which is portrayed when he states that if moral rights are denied to humans on certain grounds that they are not rational agents, then that would lead to trigger a chain of events to humans who are rational agents (Carruthers, 1999, p. 114). Someone who argues that since animals do not have rights, therefore babies do not have rights, therefore there can be no moral objection to the extermination of Jews, Gypsies, gays, and other so-called ‘deviants’, is unlikely to be taken very seriously... (Carruthers, 1999, p. 115). He is claiming that no slippery slope exists between animals and humans, which is a big statement to make....

...As I interviewed to become a school board member late into Junior year, Michael L. Simmons, vice president of the school board questioned my schedule. “Do you know what a slippery slope is?” he asked, “based on your answers here, you’re a very resilient, determined, and motivated individual. But I am afraid that you may fall into a slippery slope. Keep your schedule to a limit, and realize your purpose”. I began to laugh, not fathoming its full content. My world revolved around my profound experiences and life expectations. My ability to be resilient and overcome challenges as a child helped me become aware of my social surroundings. I became determined to become the opposite of my father. I was motivated to make a change in the world. An unfathomable...

...In past classes, I have been made a request to play out a similar schedule, and each time I have felt very casual and agreeable. Through an examination of my encounters, it will be apparent that this experience has opened my eyes to genuine unwinding and reflection. Beginning down at my toes and working up through to my neck, I can feel that my body is shockingly exceptionally tense. As I lay and tune into the sound I see that unwinding my toes is very troublesome for me. My toes are twisted and I can feel that they are holding a considerable measure of stress. When I at last start to unwind my toes, I can feel a distinction in the sole of my foot; this disclosure was stunning to me since I never understood that in spite of the fact that these parts of my foot are associated that they have such a major impact on each other. When I have ousted the pressure in my toes and feet, I climb through my legs to my posterior. I see that in contrast with my toes, my rump was very casual and did not convey much strain by any means. I did, nonetheless, see the weight being set on my tailbone as of now and it made me awkward. In the acknowledgement that my weight was being put exclusively on my tailbone, I could feel the strain that my lower back held. My chiropractor had beforehand revealed to me that my tailbone puts a considerable measure of the weight on my lower back because of a bend in my spine, be that as it may, I didn't really feel it until at that point. Subsequent to venturing out...
