    But James is not always praised and his criticism is often based on two of his policies: the Irish plantation and the reformation of the Scottish Kirk both, some believe, being major factors in the explosion of the Civil War in the 1640s. It is true that if James was a flexible monarch who favored stability he did tried to pass more revolutionary policies. Notably towards James’s other major source of dislike: the Scottish Kirk. If James did not like the English Parliament he was on the other hand very fond of the English Church. It was a Calvinist church supervised by bishops and had the king as the head of the church while in Scotland the Scottish kirk was trying to get rid of bishops and parishes.…

    It was seen as an important religious book. As a “born again Christian,” he felt that those who only attended church were not real Christians. During his biblical studies, he mentions that unlike his peers, he did not like the fact that there wasn’t an actual copy of the Bible. Instead there are only copies of what people interpreted from God’s…

    Due to my working hours, l can’t be there when my son’s come home from school, so my wife will have them call me at work shortly after they arrive. When my son’s and I converse generally we talk about the events of their day. recently my oldest son (13) calls and tells me of a bully who has called him names and my son is asking what he should do, how should he respond? It was during this conversation that the words of Jesus from John 15 ran through my mind: 18 “If the world hates you, [e]you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.…

    Though many believers will negate the important effect that their worldviews have on their lives, their worldviews function as a critical pivotal point by which they understand and relate with the rest of the world and by which they motivate themselves. Since humans unconsciously rely on past experience and knowledge to prompt their next move, a worldview provides a lens of understanding through which past perceptions reveal how to understand the present reality. However, many people like to bury their heads in the sand, so to speak, when it comes to acknowledging their worldview’s impact or changing a fault in their worldview. Unfortunately, these people are like someone who refuses to wear corrective lenses, and whose gaze is therefore obscured…

    The Gospels of The New Oxford Annotated Bible aim to tell of the life of Jesus Christ. The authors build the narratives around the Father-Son relationship of God and Jesus because of how much of an impact God’s sacrifice has on Jesus’ ministry. “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life” (John 3:16). Throughout the book of John, Jesus repeatedly says that he is the Son of God, the Son of Man, and God. If Jesus is both the Son of God and God, then it follows that God himself is the Son of Man as well.…

    All of these things are shown throughout Solomon’s life. Solomon’s birth resulted from God’s grace (2 Sam.12:13), and his days were filled with death. Solomon’s father, David, planted the seeds of a great temple (1 Chr. 22:5), Solomon harvested the fruit of David’s labor by undertaking the construction (1 King 5-8). Solomon established control over his kingdom by eliminating rivals (1 King 1:50-2:46), but also built national unity through his wise judgment and emphasis on worship. David spent his reign breaking down things that had lingered from the reign of Saul, Solomon spent much of his reign establishing a well put together system of government.…

    Teacher, holy man, social radical, Messiah or deluded lunatic - regardless of how Jesus of Nazareth was and is perceived by individuals past and present, his three-year ministry was indisputably a pivotal turning point for society. Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary , in c. 5 CE, he did not, however, commence his ministry until age 30 . Jesus Christ marked the beginning of life-changing his ministry by being baptised by John in the Jordan River, an action that puzzles Christians and biblical scholars alike, as the stated purpose of John’s baptism is a “a baptism (ceremony) of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.” However, the New Testament confirms Jesus was completely without sin ; therefore, the general belief is that the baptism was…

    English but the overall meaning of each sentence did not change dramatically. In contrast with the Greek version of James, there were several verses including Jude 1:7-8 and Jude 1:16-17 where the Greek language seemed to be more direct and accessible to me as the reader than the modern English translation. For example, in Jude 1:16-17 the Greek text speaks of “haughty words” while the modern translation uses the word “bombastic”. The meaning is the same but it is my opinion a modern reader is more likely to understand “haughty” than “bombastic.” In summary, as with my study of James I did not find any major differences in the Greek and English versions which would have changed the meaning of a passage or given an emphasis to one point over another.…

    In this essay, I will be talking about what I believe to be true from what Jesus tells us in the Bible, about being the Son of God and how He was here to die on the cross for our sins, showing everyone who He was and who ever believe in Him is save, or healed if they were sick. In this paper, I will be talking about the trustworthiness and historicity of the Gospels. The historical reliability of the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ miracles, and did Jesus claim to be God. Did his disciples believe he was God? The accuracy of the resurrection accounts in the Gospels, that is, did Jesus rise bodily from the dead?…

    The book of James is considered wisdom literature, and for good reason. It is believed that James wrote this book between 48-49 A.D. Before being martyred in 44 A.D, James was used by God to spread wisdom and challenge people to follow the Word. As Paul focused on the God perspective, James looks into the perspective of faith through man's eyes. Four of the key themes spoken of in James are the testing of faith, faith and works, joy in trials, and prayer.…
