Sunday school I never fully understood the point of all the different stories that we read about or why we were reading about them. The biblical language made it equally tough because they read to us from the King James version, which is totally different from the convention English of today.

The stories in the bible examples of God 's miracles and lessons on how to govern my own life. The King James version of the bible made it difficult for me to understand as a child, which I still struggle with the language till this day. Other translated versions of the bible helps me break the the biblical language down so I can understand such as the New International Version (NIV) and the Living Bible. The foundation of my faith helps me to understand and believe that God is the father and he sent his son Jesus Christ to save us from our sins.

    Analysis Of Galileo's Letter To The Grand Duchess Christina

    The Bible was written so that the common man could understand it and follow its commandments. The people also showed a greater interest in their reasoning, rather than the quest for true understanding. Through the use of science, one is able to eliminate ambiguous language and communicate in a more finite and precise language, thus eliminating the…

    Paul Helm's Scriptures And Truth

    The Bible is for us to understand the truth behind the Lord and understand each book in context. We connect with the Lord more and more each time we read the Scriptures and as a result gain something from it. Our effects and outcomes of what we read brings us closer to God as well. Paul states that we must not just read the Scriptures, but merely look at the words, examine them thoroughly, and insure the force and impact with the Bible’s purposes. When we read the Bible, we should not rush through it as if we don’t have time.…

    Michelson's Separate Hermeneutics

    Tammy, I totally agree with your explanation. To expound on it, the Michelson’s separate hermeneutics and exegesis to help correct, from what I see, the inexperienced study scripture. The context of a particular writing and its form can say a lot about a passage. I am taking the Psalms class here at Regent and have to say that different forms of writing make a difference. I am not saying that the inexperienced reader cannot gather great information and learn the truth of God, however, when it comes to dogmatic doctrine, learning this way of study is paramount.…

    The Bible is one of the oldest pieces of literature that exists. It has been written and rewritten in many different languages, with each translation having its own mistakes and contradictions.

    A Faith Statement Paper

    Good Morning I am Levi Haen and this is my faith statement. When I was younger I never really knew why we went to church, I knew that we were learning about God and Jesus Christ but other than that it was just a bunch of singing and talking, my faith was weak. When I got older I started to listen more and more in church and things started to make more sense my faith was getting stronger, but I still had some questions and confusions about the deeper meaning behind the biblical stories and passages. The two major influences that have encouraged and expanded my faith came from youth gatherings and the bible itself. Going to Nashville, Tennessee and feeding the homeless was something that has stuck with me overtime.…

    Contextual Interpretation

    When thinking about the nature of the Bible in terms of authoritative, inerrant, or divinely inspired, I personally find the Bible to be authoritative. At the beginning of this course I thought that the Bible had to be inerrant in order to be true. If the Bible were to be considered inerrant it would mean that the bible is without error in every aspect. This cannot be true though because some of the scientific and historical claims within in the Bible have been proven to be inaccurate. Therefore, I cannot find the idea of the Bible being inerrant to be a true statement.…
