Mercy is the compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one's power to punish or harm. God is one is being known for being merciful but the mercy he show in the old testament versus the new testament are vastly different. It can be seen evidently in the Old Testament in genesis four that god is merciful and forgiving versus in the New Testament depicted in Jerimiah forty four he is more relentless and unforgiving. The Old Testament depicts god as forgiving and trusting while in the New Testament he is more vengeful. His treatment of sinners changes completely whether it’s for the better or not we will never know.…
Simply put, salvation refers to the deliverance of suffering or danger. It can be said to correlate with the idea of self-preservation. The Bible makes mention of the term “salvation” in respect to physical deliverance from danger or suffering. I find myself thinking about Paul, and his deliverance from a prison (Philippians 1:19). At other times, the term “salvation” refers to spiritual deliverance. As in when Paul was witnessing to the jailer and explaining what he had to do in order to be saved from damnation (Acts 16:30-31). This is very different from physical deliverance.…
Resurrection in Christian belief is the rising of the dead at the Last Judgment. Resurrection is most notably associated biblically with Jesus Christ. Christ’s rising from the dead three days after having been crucified on the cross is a story well known among most. It is the first ever and authentic report of a resurrection in our history. “Never before had anyone been raised from the grave in such a way as to be completely transformed and thus beyond the icy fingers of death.” (Deffinbaugh) Resurrection is a common biblical theme noted several time in the scriptures within the Old Testament and the New Testament of the Bible connecting the two.…
The authorship of various books throughout the Bible seems to be a constant question for many, and the authorship of the book of Matthew is no different. No one really knows the person responsible for writing the first gospel of the New Testament for a number of reasons. As Leon Morris points out, the oldest known translation of Matthew is written in Greek, but there is considerable agreement that the disciple Matthew did not know Greek. Additionally, William Hendriksen concludes that since the book of Matthew draws knowledge from the gospels of Mark and John, it does not seem practical that one of Christ's disciples would need these other books as a template. Although the author is not known, A.W. Argyle states that there…

Redemption is shown in the story of Candide by the way he sacrificed to find his love Cunegonde. He deeply wanted to rescue her from her lost and fallen state. He longed to restore it back to the state she was in when they first met. During his journey, he had experiences with redemptions. For example, he retrieved his belongs that were once stolen. His sheep came back to him after the ship that stole them had sunk. Certainly people, such as the man who stole the sheep, remain in their a lost and fallen state. Additionally, he showed perseverance as he endured each trial he faced. This story reminded me of a scripture in the bible, (Mathew 10:22) “And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.”…
In light of my research other commentaries hold the same view of the Greek word redemption. I defined redemption as a ransom or a savior of people. In Collin Brown’s commentary when a person by their own fault has lost their freedom to implement their will and decisions and they need a higher power than them to help regain their freedom. This intervention can only be done by a deal of some short of payment of a ransom. In Romans 3:24 it reads, “Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” In Romans, Jesus is reclaimed us from our sins; he was a ransom for a penalty he did not deserve. The word redemption is used in this passage of scripture as an act of being saved from sin and retrieval from hell.…
God delivered the children of Israel out of the Egyptian’s abusive hands and gave them the Ten Commandments. These rules were given to live by and form an everlasting relationship with their God. But, if they failed to keep their end of the bargain, God would have to punish them. Retribution theology is the belief that those who are obedient to God are called righteous and will be blessed, while those that are disobedient are wicked and will be cursed (Tullock 2006). From the beginning of Exodus and beyond the Babylonian Exile, retribution theology was prevalent in the lives of Israel.…
I) Acknowledging the Christian Bible as the verbal, plenary inspired living Word of God, given to mankind, by way of special revelation and dual authorship the Holy Spirit and human writers I therefore, comprehend the Godly priority and importance of knowing and obeying its eternal truths. Man does not stand in judgment over the Word of God, but the Word of God found the Scriptures stands in judgment over the human race. Henceforth, I am passionately committed to teaching the whole counsel of God, in an expository-systematic-methodical-fashon with diligence, authority, and clarity, knowing that according to the book of James chapter 3 verse 1, I will have a more intense and stricter judgment as a Holy Spirit-called-gifted-teacher of the Holy…
Why did they do it? Could it have been prevented? For something like columbine to happen there has to be something mentally wrong with the people who did it. You don’t just wake up on a sunny day and say hey let's go shoot up a school. I would say it takes at least a year of planning to plan something of that size. Many times before the actual day of “judgement day” as they called it dylan and eric would be caught stealing and having dangerous weapons by police, teachers, and their own parents. I really don't know how much trouble someone has to get into before they figure out that they are not going to change and only worse things can happen before they get into big trouble, because they never really got into just a lot of trouble like jail time they always got out of it and i think the longest they were grounded was for a month.…

The discussion of the theme of martyrdom and redemption through suffering in modern poetic dramas requires an investigation of the origin and the roots of martyrdom from earlier times. A historical perspective on the cosmological theme of birth and renewal is quite useful in this respect because the concept of martyrdom and sacrifice is as important in the pagan creed as it is in the recognized established human religions as Christianity and Islam. Drama and religious rituals went hand in hand in earlier stages of all civilizations. The art of drama, as all arts, was in its initial stages closely connected to religion.1 Aristotle in his Poetics says that drama emerged from the joys which people take in mimeses and that the blending of the developed mimetic actions with religion gave rise to rituals, and ritual, in turn to drama.2 Human sacrifices were characteristics of many early pagan religions.3 In the myths of the ancient Near East "the hero is slain, but his death, then, guarantees the revival of life."4 The category of ‘dying and rising gods’, according to James G. Frazer 5, applies to a…
Repentance is more than simply acknowledging wrongdoings. It is a change of mind and heart. It includes turning away from sin and turning to God for forgiveness. It is motivated by love for God and the sincere desire to obey His commandments.…
