Live your life independently, but with a guided path. The teachings and parables of Jesus were transcribed from his disciples to become influential pieces of writings to those who choose to live by it morally. The Bible changes the lives of children and adults who seek guidance in everyday hassles. A text that changes the world may change an individual’s world, and the actual world. Catholicism, which stems from Christianity, has adapted the Old and New Testament to their faith. Jesus began his mission advocating for stewardship of the earth. The Bible reflects those teaching methods Jesus used like metaphorical or allegorical stories, which are known as parables in the religious community. Jesus established a community transgressed by pacifism for the promotion of peace. The Bible changes the world because it has a lasting effect on the people who try to live their lives’ by it. The Bible will continue to live even if there are those who try to suppress it. The beauty of a text changing the world is that it creates controversy yet leads certain groups of people. It escalades arguments used by religious and politician leaders in search of making a better world. There are laws like abortion that may conflict with doctrines of the Catholic Church. People study the Bible to learn about God’s love, and ultimately people seek the true meaning of love to lead a healthy life. The Bible’s moral messages transcribe to today’s current issues in the world. The Bible contains the components to changing one’s behaviors in a moral manner reflecting the devotion to changing the world.
When we act it is always best to do it with love. The Bible promotes the well being of living a healthy and moral life. Old teachings that create a incorporeal s...

...or those who abide by its teachings of love and faith. The religious aspect of life has created a balance of good and bad so that all bad doing does not corrupt the world. The idea of a heaven and hell for those who believe has created fear in committing violence. I fearing a religious notion like hell makes me live easy. Controversy and argument stem from these beliefs, but Amit explains, “studying the Bible is considered a means of attaining such social objectives as values of morality and justice, as well as esthetic purposes”(201). Beauty serves as the underlying message of the Bible. It is a theme the Bible hopes to send to its audience through moral development. Life and generations continue to change, but the Bible will not. All teaching aspects continue to apply as long as individuals are engulfed by it’s calling to create a generation of renaissance (202).

    Finally Placher ends his article with the explanation of the Bible giving the reader a new language and mindset to describe the world around them. When a person uses the language that is present in the Bible instead of the language that is of the world their minds change, for example an “action wasn’t just ‘inappropriate’ or even a ‘crime’ it was ‘sin’” (928). Through such examples Placher proves that “to trust the Bible” is to “let it define our world and provide a language for thinking about the world”

  • Bible Authority: Logical Positivism And Biblical Authority

    Even though humans wrote the text, translating it and passing it down from generations to generations, God’s truth is unchanging. Debates of the inerrancy of the bible cannot usurp God as the King of grace. Instead of focusing on the inerrancy of the Bible, individuals who wish to seek a life of faith should focus on the inspiration God is showing them in his word. These revelations should move them into applicable, daily life changing implications from what they have learned. God shows revelations of himself through the Bible, and his character is revealed time and time again throughout scripture. Any faulty facts or discrepancies in grammar or data, should not take away from the value that scripture holds. When we read scripture we bring new meaning of interpretations of the truths God shows us, since new eras and environmental factors will be influential on how we process information. The bible is not just a fact book, telling humans stories of the past, but instead the bible is inspired instructions for how we can deal with spiritual and ethical encounters we

  • Secular Humanism Essay

    1086 Words  | 3 Pages

    However, secular humanism removes the concept of absolute truth and replaces it with relativism. This has the potential to create classrooms and societies that are governed by those who have the most power and not by the truth of Scripture which seeks to protect the poor and the weak (Moreland, 2007). The only way that good will triumph over evil is if the truth of Christ’s death and resurrection is able to hold in check the sinful nature of mankind. A classroom that removes God from the picture is a classroom that will ultimately produce a society that ignores the needs of the weak and caters to the needs of the powerful. The Bible enables students to understand who they are, who God is and the realities of the world they live in (Graham, 2003). In contrast, secular humanism allows people to deceive themselves into thinking that they can overcome their sinful nature and create a perfect world apart from God (Moreland,

  • The Use Of Figurative Language In The Genesis Book From The Bible

    1773 Words  | 4 Pages

    A literature work will always portray an important message to their readers; in the case of the Bible would be its teaching values. Since there are different interpretations of messages that readers can conclude from reading the Bible; the professor William H. Bishop portrays on his article “The Genesis of Values in Genesis” the interpretation according with the Christians, “The Christian worldview is predicated upon biblical teaching and interpretation. It is the foundation for family values. These values are prevalent in the Book of Genesis and are what comprise the family unit, the decline of which is eroding the values given by God”(Bishop,2015). According with the professor, the Christians see the Genesis book as guide to learn the values of a family which is the message of this literature work piece .However, portraying a message is not what Literature is all about. Literature is a written work that would produce some type of effect on the readers. In this case, the effect is that when Christian readers will learn moral value and they will practice them in their everyday life; as professor Williams states: “The Christian worldview is a means of interpreting the world through the teachings, concepts and principles in the Bible and taking action based on that interpretation. Furthermore, it incorporates values commensurate with that worldview, for example,

  • Daniel Migliore Analysis

    Authority of Scripture reconciles the community with God and can transform our lives. To participate in the fuller blessing of understanding, it is important to view Scripture with historical and literary sensitivity, interpret theocentrically, ecclesially, and contextually. I realize each of these can be overwhelming to the average person who is seeking direction for a specific concern in their life. Therefore, Migliore reminds us, interpreting Scripture is practical engagement in the living of Christian faith, love, and hope in a still redeemed world. When we listen carefully to the voices of the past, from a worldwide culture, and guided by the Holy Spirit, we will open ourselves to those transformational opportunities.

  • The Bible: The Story Of Redemption In The Bible

    1676 Words  | 4 Pages

    Spanning fifteen hundred years with over 30,700 manuscripts, extensive archaeological evidence and 2000 prophecies that have been fulfilled, the Bible is God 's word to us. (Yohn, 2013). In the Bible, the Father is essentially giving us a picture of the history of the world and is also leading us to a place where we must make a decision that involves whether we choose to accept his son or reject him and remain guilty. Additionally, the Word of God tells us what happened that caused this breach between us and God, the result of this and how God has rectified it through the blood of his son. In fact, from the beginning of the Bible (written 1400 B.C.) to the last book (A.D. 96), God is showing us why we need Jesus and how to find him. Just as a plant’s root system propagates and occupies the pot that encloses it, Jesus permeates the entire Bible. Therefore, the motif of the Bible is the story of the redemption of mankind and it all points to Jesus as the messiah and savior who secures this for all.

    On the contrary, the ultimate purpose embedded in Christian morality consists in the blind faith in truth. The will to the belief in an unconditional and the overvaluation of truth both lead to an age of cynicism where people become more skeptical about the value of illusion as opposed to the Greeks. Nietzsche also emphasizes in his texts that people need to emancipate themselves from the Christian moral tradition to project onto the world certain values of their own making that give rise to a new mythology. In conclusion, the passive acceptance of the Jude-Christian worldview destroys the motivating force behind all human actions, thereby devouring life of myth and beauty.

    Consequently we ask the question where does the idea of the Bible effecting Christian ethical decision making stop having unlimited interpretation. Interpretation can keep on being made of the biblical texts in so many different ways. A Christian living in today’s modern society who is practicing with the Bible as the role of how they base their ethical decisions has many things to consider. Mainly direct and indirect interpretation is to be had of the old and new testaments. Bringing the Bible stories and parables into context helps modern Christians to understand and live out ethically correct lives by applying it to the situation they are in.
