“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.
The Character Traits of Abraham Abraham was a man who sought after God. In most everything that we learn about his life we see that he chose to have faith and to be a good leader. However, just like any other person, he had his faults and shortcomings. At times he decided to go his own way, instead of trusting God’s omniscient and omnipotent nature. In this paper I will discuss several character traits that I feel describe Abraham and the choices that he made throughout his life.
The Roman and Barbarian Armies both had someone, be it the military commander or someone else acting in what would be the position of a chaplain. Their responsibility for the most part was to promote the idea of the righteousness of their Christian kingdom, their efforts and the great rewards that await them if they die in battle etc. Most if not all accomplished this through sacraments, visions and icons with no real apparent focus on personal spiritual care. You will find an interesting bit of psychology in this interaction. After viewing history and oftentimes witnessing the success of soldiers that fought in the name of their king and pope, they fought ever more fervently with the belief that God was with them.
As they believed that people are supposed to work as hard as they can with whatever they do, because they view it as a form of worship to God. Which is why she was not caving in even when her body was wearing out on her multiple times. In conclusion, Mary Rowlandson was a puritan writer because of the way she wrote her experience, religious beliefs, and the type of style she used to express herself. Everything she wrote about was somehow connected to God and her beliefs. It is clear that she wanted modern readers to know that the religion was as strong even before her
This case proceeded in London and was said to be a strong influence in the abolishment of capital punishment in the United Kingdom. Evans was executed in 1950 for the murder of his wife and 13-month-old daughter. Evans maintained his innocence through the whole trial and told investigators that his neighbor, John Christie murdered his family.

He was involved in many raids on the English occupiers and he avenged his father’s death by killing the English knight Fenwick. By 1297 the English occupation of Scotland was much weaker and the resentment of the Scottish people had grown.

His contemporaries consisted of Ahab, Jezebel, Ahaziah, Obadiah, Jehu, and Hazal. These were the people that Elijah was in constant contact with because God had a message for them. Elijah was a man of ‘many hats’, as we like to say, but he carried the message of God to people who many times did not want to hear what he had to say, in order to warn them about the things that were forthcoming. Like any human being, Elijah made mistakes, had flaws, and also lasted through his good times as well as his bad times. But what type of prophet was Elijah?
Today, if you have your Bibles, I’d invite you to turn to the book of Hebrews, Hebrews four and verses 15 and sixteen. “This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” Consider the fact that Jesus, who was God, knows everything from the beginning and the end. Therefore, he was fully aware of the horrors

For that reason, she tried to service the Jews as much as they could - keeping in mind that Israel is God's chosen people, and she was to obey God's commands. She willingly followed God's plan for her, and her commitment toward God is what inspired me to write this essay in regards to the qualities that God gave Corrie, and how we should strive to obtain them for ourselves. God blessed Corrie a great heart of compassion. She loved the Jews and strived to help them every way she could. She gave up so much for the Jews, and went out of her way to make them comfortable.
