In detail we will discuss the relationship between inspiration and inerrancy. And then, before concluding this paper we will discuss how the answers to these questions provide structure to how we as Christians should live our lives. To a Christian who has accepted God as their personal Lord and Savior the Bible has authority. The same should not be said for someone who hasn’t made that confession. As a Christian we have accepted that the Bible contains the true Word of God written by apostles who received divine inspiration to guide the recorded works.
Can Your Code of Ethics Be Wrong? Lonna Shelton-Soward Liberty University Abstract In counseling, whether Secular or Christian based it is crucial to understand and practice ethical codes. Similarities and differences in the American Counseling Association (ACA) code of ethics and the American Association of Christian Counseling (AACC) code of ethics, aim to do no harm. In the AACC Code of Ethics it clearly states, “Christian counselors acknowledge that the first rule of professional-ministerial ethical conduct is: do no harm to those served.” (AACC, Section, ES1-100, p.9). Counselors advocate change at all levels to improve the quality of life for individuals or groups, while eliminating obstacles that make it difficult to receive proper services.

Christian Education is a part of God’s purpose to put everything in Creation under the feet of Christ; it serves as part of His purpose to subdue people from all nations to the glory of God. I also think a Christian Education is a better education, because it feed the soul as well as the mind. It addresses the whole human being; it involves the body, sprit and the mind. One important goal of Christian Education is to teach the student to reason biblically. If each adult person or the parents of younger student took it upon themselves to be more Christ-like and build their foundation of education to glorify God, they would choose the Christian Education over the Public Education, which is controlled by the state.
For example, one of the Ten Commandments ‘Thou shall not kill’ should not be broken and is applied to situations such as the death penalty or abortion. This links to the divine command theory. This is a meta-ethical theory which proposes that what is moral is determined by God and that to be moral is to follow his commands. This theory claims that morality is ultimately based on God and the right action is the one that God requires. The divine commands vary in religions but in the end, they all have in common that moral obligations depend on God.
“Explore the dimensions of the concept of ethical monotheism” Ethical Monotheism means believing in one god and doing the right thing. Humanity chooses one god because that is the god tat is needed. Others don’t exist we only need one god. There is one god who commands one morality for all humanity and he wants people to act decently towards one another. There are for natures of God that are taught to us throughout the Torah.
Dr. Anderson displays a strong foundation of counseling through truth and having a relationship with Christ. Other web based articles were used to support the theory of Anderson’s book. Although the web based articles other different avenues of Christian counseling all of the sources used share a common root, how to show others how to overcome their problems to become healthy well adjusted individuals by using biblical concepts. Christian Counseling to the Spiritually Oppressed Discipleship is receiving instruction from a religious leader and being a follower who has learned to believe in the truth of the doctrine of his teacher. Discipleship in today’s world can be in the form of a Christian counseling.
Man was created with moral and spiritual capacities, among other things, from God so that we may understand our identity as His creation. “Theists believe that the purpose of mankind is to know God” (Weider & Gutierrez, 2011, p. 60). The Bible, according to Christians, is just one tool through which God speaks to man. In John 17:3 and Leviticus 19:37 we see just a few examples of God’s purpose for mankind. God also has standards for man regarding morality and/or ethics.
Workplace and marketplace ethics is about knowing and doing what is good or right. For the Christian, this means applying the Bible and other resources of the Christian faith to help decide and do what is ethical or moral at work. New technology is also an ethical issues now a days businesses use new technology to reach goals more easily and more completely than ever before. In some areas, however, such applications of technology start trespassing on the rights of individuals that may be unethical. So, governments and ethically operated companies are aware of these limitations.
With this definition we can certainly state that what is moral for my culture may not be for someone else’s cultures and customs, but we have then to use the source of religion. As cited on the Old Testament by Moses; God has given us the ten commands; we can relate it with law in society today. God gave Moses to present to people his commandments, this bring us to believe that God himself saw the need for the man to have rules to follow in order to have more kindness and sense of justice within each other. Since the creation of the world as is stated at the Bible, we’ve learned about the good and the bad people, as Cain and Abel the two brothers, the one who did as he was told and obeyed God’s wish was killed by his own brother not because he was a bad person, but because his brother could not be as good as him, he decided to kill him. So can we say that Cain was purely evil?
