“Explain the Judeo- Christian concept of God as a law-giver and judge” God loves and cares for his creation because of this he creates rules in order for his creation to live together harmoniously. Judaeo-Christians have many views about God as law giver and judge. Firstly God can be seen as Law giver in Exodus 20 when God is said to have revealed the 10 commandments to Moses, but the Children of Israel have just been warned that if they approach him directly, he may break out against them and kill them. In this story it God is seen as omnipotent and the presence of Him is a mortal danger and threat. He gives direct commands to Moses and Moses obeyed God's orders despite personal danger and overwhelming odds.
This view is supported by the research herein and through exegetical study of the Scripture themselves. Daniel chapter 9 begins with Daniel praying a prayer of forgiveness and restoration for the Jewish people. “Daniel’s prayer for forgiveness and restoration was motivated by his reading of Jeremiah’s prophecy that the Exile would last seventy years.” Knowing that their sin was the cause of their suffering, Daniel pleaded with the Lord to turn His anger from Jerusalem and the holy temple. His desire was a holy one as his request for the restoration of Israel came from a desire that God may be glorified through it. As Daniel prayed, he was interrupted by the angel Gabriel with an interpretation of the seventy years.
He therefore sanctifies us through the process of receiving a broken heart. Theological Definition: Law of Sacrifice The Law of Sacrifice is introduced to man as a way of looking forward to the sacrifice and crucifixion of Jesus Christ as a means of redemption and sanctification. Man needed redemption and sanctification due to the effects of Adams transgression and the individual sins of man. Biblical Foundation: Sacrifice is introduced There is evidence that the law of sacrifice is introduced to Adam and Eve and their posterity shortly after they are cast out of the Garden. For we read about Cain and Able both offering sacrifices to the Lord.
(The New Interpreter’s Study Bible, Exo. 6.28) Moses said to the Pharaoh to let the Israelites out of Egypt so the Egyptians know that he is the LORD he will harden the Pharos heart so he will not let the Israelites out of Egypt. Every time the Pharaoh does not let the Israelites go he will perform a wonder or plague. When the LORD does this the Egyptians will know that he is the LORD. (The New
King states, “I am in Birmingham because injustice is here. Just as the prophets of the eighth century B.C. left their villages and carried their “thus saith the Lord” far beyond the boundaries of their home towns, and just as the Apostle Paul left his village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the Greco-Roman world, so am I compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town. Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid. (70) Martin Luther King Jr. compares himself to Paul because he wants his audience, the eight clergymen, to understand
Elie is so involved in his quest for spiritual knowledge that at the age of twelve or thirteen he wanted to take it to the next higher level. “One day I asked my father to find me a master who could guide me in my studies of Kabbalah” (Wiesel 4). A Kabbalistic works in the very deep secret things of Jewish mysticism. Elie would have had to be very well studied, to even know about this level of the Jewish faith. Elie in my opinion was strongly rooted and grounded in his beliefs in his God.
The Davidic covenant sounds like a very earthly dominion when in reality, it is talking about God’s kingdom. God always had a plan, and this was simply the next step in that plan. The sixth event in the Bible which is a foundation of the story of the Bible is the Babylonian Captivity. The Babylonian captivity is a major event in the Bible because it is a reminder that our actions do have consequences… and through those hard times God is able to work in and through us to show us how He still loves us even though we mess up. God always has a plan for us.
Starts with the birth of Samuels and God calls to him as a boy. The story of the Ark of the Covenant that follows tells of Israel's oppression by the philistines, which brought about Samuel's anointing of Saul and Israel's first king. But Saul proved unworthy and God's choice turned to
God chose Saul because He chose Israel. He was preserving the line of David, though God's desire was that Israel would wait for Him to provide a king in His timing. In the mind of the people, Saul had everything going for him. He was tall and statesman-like. He was a great and proven warrior.
In the book of genesis dealing with Adam and Eve is a good destiny to look at, the good and bad. Even though God knew it would happen the serpent knew that he couldn’t tempt Adam that easy but; he went after Eve. At the end of the day God has good positive destinies for all of his children. It’s up to the individual to want to chase after the good life that God has in store for them. (Jeremiah 29:11-For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.)
