...SUNDAY, MARCH 30, 2014 I. SUMMARY 1. Primary goal (What is the desired outcome?) The primary goal of the author is to allow people to be free to worship and serve God better. In short the author wants to show the reader how to move from the mindset of “I want to be happy,” to a mindset of trying to be more like Christ (Crabb, 22). 2. Development of problems and personal need (How do the issues come about?) The author states that people have two primary needs. These needs are significance and security with secondary being acquired needs. Acquired needs are those that meet a primary need (Crabb, 112). The problem rises to the surface when any of these needs are not met. The author states there are three types of obstacles that interfere with achieving a chosen goal. They are Unreachable Goals, External Circumstances, and Fear of Failure (Crabb, 125). 3. Biblical integration (How much of the Bible is used in this methodology?) The author clearly states that anything that is anti-God in methodology should be rejected. However, there are different types of approaches, “separate but equal (where psychology and biblical teaching are equivalent);” “tossed salad (where a little of each of psychology and biblical teaching is used without evaluation);” “nothing buttery (where psychology is ignored or irrelevant);” “Spoiling the Egyptians” is what the author terms his approach. This is when only the portion of psychology that is in line with the Bible is utilized but the foundation...

... Paul Dioguardi LIBERTY UNIVERISTY Biblical World View 2 I want you to know as a new Christian I have learned more in Theology, Apologetics and Bible than the 30 years of going to my catalytic church and listening to the word of God. I feel the word of God coming in to my hart and I have no problem being vigilant about sinning. The Biblical world view I am going to talk to you about is Gods image from two sides. Frist I will share with you the view of the Old Testament and second I will share the view of the New Testament. The Theological world view on the Old Testament and the New Testament on Gods image there is no big contradictions if you understand how to read the narratives and understand the Bible. I will say that in the Old Testament narratives do talk more about man made from God image from flesh narratives then flesh and bone narratives except one passage. The characteristics of prophets in the Bible we will discover similar messages on the creation of man in Gods image. “After God had made all other creatures, he created man, male and female, with reasonable and immortal souls, endued with knowledge, righteousness, and true holiness, after his own image, having the law of God written in their hearts, and power to fulfill it; and yet under a possibility...

...enables it to be gas, liquid, and solid. A popular example of this is water, which has a specific triple point of 273.16 K. At this point the water, is a gas (water vapor), a liquid (water), and a solid (ice). (Çengel 135) This all happens at a microscopic level and at fractions of milliseconds, and yet it is the best real life example of how anything can be three things at once. God may have included this little element in earth science while creating the world to reflect on his true nature. This scientific fact could be a great way to defend the idea of how Jesus could be both God and Man. However as with most of the bible faith plays and biblical evidence plays a large roll. Good information on thermodynamics, however also make sure that your introduction fully introduces all of the topics that your work intends on addressing. The Bible makes unambiguous claims as to who and what Jesus was. Jesus claims several times throughout his walk on earth that he was in fact God and that he existed before the time of the decibels. He alludes to Exodus by saying "before Abraham was born, I am " (John 8:58). Obviously the phrase “I am” was a big deal to those alive as it was the name God called himself to Moses. While claiming to be God and doing Godly things like performing miracles Jesus also went through all of the suffering a man would go through such sufferings as hunger, doubt, regret, and physical harm.

...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 (Genesis 10:24).

In the beginning of the African American history, there were many obstacles and struggles that the colored people had to face. They were being mistreated, sometimes even less than a white man’s dog. It all began in 1619, the first African slaves were brought to Virginia. Once a person becomes a slave, they were slaves for life and so were the next generation. The majority of the slaves worked in rice or tobacco plantations in dangerous living conditions. In 1793, Eli Whitney’s invention of the cotton gin increased the demand for slave labor ( 147). Cotton soon became the king crop in the lower South while tobacco still remained a major cash crop in the upper South. Due to the high demand of cotton, the crop brought the majority of wealth and prosperity from the South Carolina to Louisiana...

Jeremiah warned that the Lord would was sending the Babylonians to punish Judah. In 605 B.C. , Nebuchadnezzar led the Babylonian army to victory over the Eygptians at Carchemish, establishing control over Syria and northern Israel. Then he marched south and took some exiles including Daniel.1 “The Book of Daniel is not only one of the most intriguing works in the Bible, but it is also filled with timeless truths that are just as relevant to modern believers as they were to those who first heard them.”2 In this research paper we are going to assert that Daniel foresees the antichrist who will appear at the end of the age. There is much controversy about the antichrist. Who is he? Was he Hitler or Mussolini or...

...JOSEPH O. BAKER Department of Sociology and Anthropology East Tennessee State University Public acceptance of evolution remains low in the United States relative to other Western countries. Although advocates for the scientific community often highlight the need for improved education to change public opinion, analyses of data from a national sample of American adults indicate that the effects of educational attainment on attitudes toward evolution and creationism are uneven and contingent upon religious identity. Consequently, higher education will only shift public attitudes toward evolution and away from support for teaching creationism in public schools for those who take non-“literalist” interpretive stances on the Bible, or to the extent that it leads to fewer people with literalist religious identities. Keywords: evolution, creationism, religious identity, education, science and religion, public policy. INTRODUCTION Acceptance of evolution and support for creationism has been publicly debated since the initial diffusion of Darwin’s theory about the origin of species, particularly in the United States (Numbers 1998, 2006). From before the infamous Scopes Trial (see Larson 1997) to the present, many Americans have resisted ideas about evolution, leading to a relatively low global ranking on public acceptance of the theory (Miller, Scott, and Okamoto 2006). Although the scientific community and legal decisions in U.S. courts have repeatedly favored the teaching...
