At this point, his uncle Gil affected him greatly. He believed that his uncle Gil is the most religious man in the world, who along his spiritual path, Gil decided to take the Bible literally. Jacobs saw that his uncle Gil did everything the same as Bible’s teachings, and then his decided to follow the Bible literally himself. He had two reasons for that, and the one is the Bible requires him to tell truth. He wanted to write the book, so he had to do the thing.
He sticks to the Bible and does not care what others think about him or his beliefs. Billy Graham is a fabulous role model and I have a desire to have a faith as strong as his. He has proved throughout the years that he stays true to his faith and he has taught thousands of people the word of God. He believes the Bible to be 100% accurate. We both believe the Bible comes from God and that he created the universe and everything in it.
This is why God created a universe fit for human life, and why he laid down guidelines for how to live our lives. According to Christianity, each one of us is created for communion with God; God wants to know us, to love us, and to rejoice with us. Examples in the Bible are Proverbs 19: 21 and Ephesians 3: 20. The most basic principle of the Christian moral life is the awareness that every person bears the dignity of being made in the image of God. He has given us an immortal soul and through the gifts of intelligence and reason enables us to understand the order of things established in his creation.

Professor Munoa Religion 220 March 12, 2013 Psalm 28 Unique in composition, the book of Psalms earned the nickname the book of songs. Each Psalm integrates poetic devices that enable its messages to the people of God. Psalm 28 uses internal parallelism as its poetic device, which means that in each verse there is a correspondence between one line and another, thus simplifying religious interpretation. Psalm 28’s opening verse uses the characteristics of synthetic parallelism, the further development of the preceding thought. Line two reads “my rock, do not refuse to hear me” which becomes a clear and complete thought as the concluding lines explain the fate he will suffer if God does not answer his plea.
The Great Literary Works of Solomon Psalms and Proverbs are books in the Old Testament that provide wisdom and insight to God’s will and teachings through prayers, sayings, phrases, poems, or song. This is in contrast to the stories in the other books of the Old Testament that relay the will and teachings of God through the stories of the Hebrew people. Both books have several authors however Solomon is believed to be the primary author of Proverbs and David the primary author of Psalms.

Biblical Worldview Essay Introduction: The “Image of God.” What is the image of God in a Christian? The “image of God” is vastly used to describe what the Christian faith should portray. We can find this term in the Bible a few times. In the Old Testament, Genesis 1:26-27 to be exact we find that it states that “man is created to the image of God”. I believe that “the belief that mankind is created in the image of God” really is trying to allow us to see that our reflection should be that of those characteristics that God portrays such as compassion, love, understanding, patience, respect and so on.

In interviewing my worship pastor/leader, he notes that the barometer for him, as with many other leaders and as laypersons, is peace in spirit. In his position as worship pastor, music is a required gift. He knows that God’s call for him, before he was even born, was to lead in worship.
The Bible is accurate and without fault in the divine revealing of Jesus to the early Church and reflects the disclosure of God in Christ. He presents the divine transcendence and divine immanence in three ways from God in the Bible. 1. The Bible is a revelation of God in that it is a witness which testifies to God’s revelation in history. 2.
In the first section, verses 1-34, Paul explains how real resurrection truly is. In the second section, verses 35-58, Paul explains resurrected bodies. This really hit home with me as I have had to digest this portion of scripture as a whole, not looking at only one verse or two. I think that the amount of time Paul spent teaching this principle of the doctrine of the resurrection to the people at Corinth has to be significant to us. It cannot be taken lightly and we should be careful to understand just how we are going to get to heaven just as we would if we were going to travel across country.
