Review: The Liberty Biblical Museum
The Liberty Biblical Museum is located in the Jerry Falwell Library. One can find the museum by walking in the main doors, and going down the stairs. The purpose of the museum is to bring the Bible to life by showing different artifacts of the time. The museum has many artifacts that are from the holy land, different manuscripts, and it also has the rare Bible. With reading and visualizing all the different artifacts, one can learn a lot about a culture and their way of life. The museum offers tours, that tend to be an hour long, every Thursday at 12pm. They also offer tours for special occasions, which can be found on their homepage. At the museum, I learned about many artifacts that were related to the Bible and that time frame. My favorite

    In Chapter 5 , “ Bling, Bombs, and the Bible”, in the book called Game On: How Pressure to Win at all costs Endangers youth sports, author Tom Farrey claims that children can benefit from participation in sports even though the sports are not highly competitive. In order to support this claim Farrey shares the personal story of former General Electric CEO Jack Welch. Welch described the casual baseball games that he played with his friends when he was growing up in Salem, Massachusetts. These games were not organized by adults; they included players of all ability levels; and did not have a formalized league structure. However, it does appear that Welch and his friends gained important leadership and negotiation skills as a result of the participation…

Blacks could attend Congregational Church, but not join. Dora held prayer meetings in her home at F and 7th St. She also organized the first black Baptist church and held prayer meetings in her backyard under a tree Perris, Ca.

    The three portraits that are being exhibited at the Dunham Bible Museum are breathtaking, these paintings touched my heart and were the reasons why I chose to write about these paintings: The Messiah, the detailed portrait of Jesus crucified, it shows the love that God has for us, to send Jesus, his only son to save us, to save me, and that his death has given humanity a chance to redeem ourselves, as well the words "Father forgive them" are so powerful as it shows how pure Jesus heart was that he forgave us and died for our sins. He is truly our best example to follow. What are you doing for me? When I see this painting, somehow I can transport myself into many moments in my life when I didn't have God as a priority in my life but He is a…

    Another similar enlightenment thinker who shared similar thoughts to his was John Locke. Regarded by many as the founding father of classical liberalism, Locke was among the enlightenment thinkers who influenced ideologies in the 16th and 17th centuries. Jefferson himself once mentioned in his books that Locke is one of the greatest men to ever live that had profound influence in the moral and physical sciences. It also seems like Jefferson was influenced greatly by the works and philosophies of Locke owing to the fact that most of his religious beliefs were based on Locke’s ideologies (Jefferson, pg.…

    During the time of Samuel, there was no monarchy in Israel unlike the other countries around. The Israelites wanted a king for themselves where they could actually see and hear. They wanted the same protection that the other nations were getting from their kings. Therefore the Israelites asked Samuel to ask God to nominate a king for them. But Samuel did not like the fact that the Israelites wanted a king, so he prayed God for an answer. God said to Samuel in a sad way to let the Israelites have a king since they do not want me as their king anymore. Samuel told the Israelites what God has said and warned them that they would have to sacrifice part of their life for the king. Despite the warning, the Israelites desired a king who would rule them like the other nations.…

    Reading through Matthew 24:42-44, it was clear to me the message God was trying to portray; that he was coming soon and he wants us to be prepared. If we put off following Christ any longer, it may be too long and we will miss the one chance we have to live with Him in eternity. Jesus goes on in this passage to further explain his warning by telling the parable of someone who was warned of a future burglary in his household. Knowing this was the case, the man took action by guarding and deterring the would-be burglar (NIV). The parable of the thief is a beautiful way to explain this in the way that it shows if a man were to act immediately on protecting his property if warned, a man should be ready and willing to protect his heart, mind, and soul.…

    In 1845 Aaron is telling a story, a story of his life as a slave; which was documented through The Light and Truth of Slavery: Aaron's History. Aaron, a former slave, notes that he escaped from the South and became a "poor way-faring Bondman," where he lectured in churches and public buildings throughout the North during the first half of the 19th century. Aaron advocates the political platform of the Liberty Party because of that party's attempt to pass legislation abolishing slavery as unconstitutional. He also suggests that abolishing slavery would not have the feared financial repercussions on the South but would, instead, financially benefit the South and the nation as a whole. In some ways religion meant nothing at all when it came to slaves and slave owners, but in another sense people took it very serious.…

    Colonists were not eager to leave England, it was considered the greatest government in the world. This was not a decision that was made lightly. Most of the assemblies in the colonies were worried to ask for a vote about independence. Rhode Island for example simply didn’t.³ The reasoning of this was that it would be a bad idea to show ununited colonies when the war was very much in full swing. There were events during the winter of 1775 that swung public opinion to pro-independence though. These events were first the Prohibitory Act and second the hiring of German mercenaries to fight the colonists.⁴ It is known that these were deciding factors due to the fact that they were cited as reasons for independence in smaller declarations.…

    The first 39 books of the larger work called the Bible, is called the Old Testament. The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics, philosophy, treatises, dramas, songs, epics, biographies, and letters. There have been many books written and published to survey, explain, and/or bring to light the Old Testament, but none more helpful to me than the review subject of this paper, the work of Dr. Elmer L. Towns, entitled “A Journey Through the Old Testament”.…

    At the end of Parshat Eqev, it says “to walk in all of His ways and to cling to Him.” Rashi writes that walking in his ways means to act in the way Hashem acts, just like he is merciful, so too you should be merciful. Rashi explains “and to cling to him” by first asking how could this be understood literally? We would get burned. Rather, its by staying close to the talmidei chachamim. One could ask, but we have this phrase in other places in Devarim- why does Rashi only write this here? Moreover, in Re’eh, Rashi comments on “uvo tidbak” with the explanation given for “walking in His way” in Eqev. We could answer that in Parshat Eqev, the Torah is clearly distinguishing between “to walk in all of His ways” and “to cling to Him,” whereas in Re’eh only one term is used, dibuk, and that is more broad. The next step to be taken is hashgafically, what does this mean? However, that requires a lot more work and we will not get into that now.…
