The Koran, The Bible, And Joseph

... In the Koran, Joseph's brothers, conspired against him saying, "Joseph and his brother are dearer to our father than ourselves, though we are many. Truly, our father is much mistaken. Let us slay Joseph, or cast him away in some far-off land, so that we may have no rivals in our father's love, and after that be honorable men" (Koran 1380).

... of members of the ancient religion, but have been wrongly interpreted by `UFO fanatics' as proof that aliens built the pyramids. This leads non-believers to give little weight to what was "actually a true and proper religion".

Previously, followers had only gathered in what could be described as `sects' in many different countries, with the highest concentration being in North Am ...

Paul's Letter To The Galatians

... scripture to explain why gentiles should not be required to be circumcised, or obey Jewish Law; however, there are no direct quotes in scripture that say this. One would wonder why Paul, someone who grew-up in a "good" Jewish family, would not follow in the footsteps of Jewish Christian Missionaries, and require Christian converts to become Jews first.

The Conciliar Christology

... as the truth. But, during this era, the people wanted to know how it was possible. The people questioned if there were two Gods. This is very interesting to me because it seems that these Christians were questioning their faith. And it is known that most people in the older times did not question their beliefs out of respect for God and their religion. The major issues of the Conciliar time period were that the people tried to figure out how God could be God the father and Jesus Christ the Son all at the same time. They couldn’t ...

Mind Over Matter

... state is meditation. By clearing the mind of mundane clutter and distractions, a monk can become in tune with his inner being and body, which results in a greater understanding of the barriers that need to collapse before nirvana can be achieved. This practice of meditation was the Buddhist practice that I participated in, with the intent on a greater understanding of what being a Buddhist means. This exercise taught me the inherent difficulty in calming the mind, along with the negative effects outside influences like other people have on ...

Jews

... combat between the heavily armed troops and the haggard defenders. Some Jews tried to escape through the sewers, but they were flushed out by fire. At the end the Jews had taken a heavy toll on their enemy but the city lay in smoking ruins. The remaining Jewish survivors were rounded up to be used as slave laborers or to be killed.

But in fact it was the Roman destruction of Jerusalem and the Seco ...

Exogetical Essay On Matthew 11:25-30

... our own knowledge, and possibly miss what God is really telling us. The next passage says, "All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." According to my Life Application Study Guide, in the Old Testament, "know" means more than knowledge. It implies an intimate relationship.
