“enlargement”. The Bible never told us that Noah ever said bless the Lord God of Japheth‚ but he only said bless the Lord God of Shem‚ which means through Shem’s offspring the Messiah “Jesus” will descent. Jesus was an offspring of a Semitic Arab‚ and not from the offspring of European Japheth. So‚ why‚ does the Europeans claimed that Jesus was a Caucasian white‚ when the Bible told us that He was a descendant of Semitic Arab‚ who were dark to brown olive skin. In the amplified Bible‚ we came to the

Book Titles Genesis Just like the first book in the Bible‚ the first book of The Poisonwood Bible is named Genesis. As well as the beginning‚ Genesis can also mean rebirth.

In this way‚ Genesis symbolizes the process of becoming their new selves. For instance‚ the first chapter in The Poisonwood Bible‚ narrated by Orleanna‚ strongly shows the guilt that

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).

She defied the odds of being a prostitute and then saving people’s lives and then in return‚ God saved her and

The Meaning of Redemption One meaning of the word ‘redeem’ (and the one that applies to the Biblical use of the word) is “to set free or release from evil by the payment of a price”. We hear today of terrorists who hold a people hostage‚ demanding that so much money be paid for the release. If that money is paid and the people are released‚ we could say in an earthly sense that those people have been redeemed. They have been released from some evil by the payment of a price. We find an example
