Recommended: Moses as a model of a good leader

While there are many heroes in the Bible, Moses is the character I relate to most because he was a shy man but still used by God in many incredible ways. Moses was shy and afraid to speak up to people, and I am like that also. A great quote that shows Moses was a shy man is from Exodus: “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say ‘The Lord did not appear to you’?” (Exodus 4:1 NLT) Moses asked God this question after the Lord commands him to rescue the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. It seems Moses asked this question because he was shy and did not want to talk with the Egyptian authorities about letting his people leave Egypt. His unwillingness to reason with the authorities to set free God’s people shows how Moses is not bold

    When “the mule quivered, wanting home and rest” (line 17), but Moses was still okay, the reader is more able to believe that this is possible, that Moses is stronger than a mule. If Moses had been telling the story in the first person, the reader would be inclined to question the degree to which Moses was able to outperform a mule because he could possibly be exaggerating to glorify himself. This potential problem is solved with a third person narrator because the narrator no longer has a reason to be partial either with or against Moses. The reader is able to trust this narrator more because of this point of view helps to develop Moses’ character because what is said is taken to be true and the narrator is able to give the reader a full picture of what is going on with

    Then to dig more into the reasons for Moses’ hesitation, I will begin with Martin Nath’s commentary that claims that Moses to avoid his given charge by God comes up with a reason for his previous failure claiming that he is a poor speaker. Then I will bring Brevard Childs into the picture. He throws more light onto the issue and suggests that the reason for Moses’ previous failure was the suffering of the Israelites. He believes that they did not have any interest in Moses or God because of their situation. Ho...

  • The Bible Story: The Old Testament

    2051 Words  | 5 Pages

    To speak of the Hebrew Scripture is to speak of story, a story stretching from the very beginning of time to only a few centuries before the beginning of the Common Era. It is to speak of richness of content, of purpose and of reality and to engross oneself in an overarching narrative that, depending on your personal convictions, continues to the present day. Within this richness is found a wide variety of different events and experience, told through a series of genre ranging from foundational myth to apocalypse, law giving to poetry, genealogy to wisdom and many more. Within this diversity however, three broad sections can be discerned that speak to a shared purpose and content, these are the sections of Law, Prophecy and Writings. It is the purpose of this talk then to examine each of these sections, identifying their commonality and differences and exploring why they exists as discernable sections. To achieve this, we will be led through a brief survey of each section, delving into the content and purpose of each with reference to the others. In addition to this we will also explore the three genres of foundational myth, type scene and wisdom that are found in these sections, discussing their features and how they have been used in specific circumstances as a part of the greater biblical narrative.

    I believe that the Bible is the holy word which was revealed for the purpose that man can know God and His will. Man is spiritual dead and cannot know anything, God has to revealed himself through His word to man (1 Cor. 2:7-11; 2 Peter 1:20-21). The revelation came by supernatural ways which are dreams (Gen. 37:5-9), visions (Gen. 15; Amos 7-9), and direct communication (1 Sam. 3:3-14). The Bible is written revelation, or God’s communication of divine truth to man. The revelation occurs in two forms: general and special. The general revelation is the truths that can be known about God through nature (Ps. 8; 19:1-6). The general revelation cannot bring salvation to man because it only demonstrates the existence of God, but it does not show man way he can be saved (Rom. 2:14-16). Man is without excuse as he suppresses the general revelation of God in his heart, man bears God's wrath and judgment (Rom. 1:18-20). The special revelation is the specific truths that can be known about God through the supernatural way

    As a believer of Christ, I consider myself as a person of covenant. Despite the fact that I have not committed extraordinary actions that some of God’s people have partaken in, I feel that I have a slight relation to these people. For instance, Noah is one of the people who made covenants with God. God commands Noah to build an arc. He notifies Noah that He will be wiping out the human race that exists in earth, for the humankind has been acting excessively sinful. God clearly demonstrates mercy by saving Noah and his family. Once Noah completes building an arc and gathers two of each creature, God floods the earth for forty days and forty nights. God reveals a rainbow that represents the fact God would never flood the earth again. Afterwards, God makes a covenant with Noah: the people will flourish in earth, as

Inter-city lifestyle is filled with drugs, gangs, crime, etc. (sinful nature) Christian believers go to the inter-city to preach the word of God. Knowing that it is an unsafe environment, Christians believe that Jesus will bring his angles to watch over their ministry while doing God’s will.

    The King James Bible is something that the majority of all human have ran across. For most it is the Bible of choice until recent times. It plays a part of the fabric of life for most Christians. This work has changed the narration on a lot of events in human history. It has promoted growth in literature is even being used to teach individual how to read. It has spread the religion of Christianity because it allowed many users to read the Bible for themselves. Instead of being told what the Greek or Hebrew translation says by the Priest who could read it. This work has been used for personal gain in politics, race, and anything dealing with power. The biggest impact I believe the King James Bible has created besides the spreading of the Gospel

    In the Exodus there were many examples where Moses showed his great wisdom. He also possessed somewhat magical power given to him by God.   He also had a divine purpose in life.  Moses was on a "mission from god" so to speak to deliver his people from bondage.  His mission was similar to those of other typical epics.  It was of course a very dangerous and exhausting journey that lasted a very long time.  There were many obstacles to overcome

    In the Old Testament, Abraham and Moses were two very prominent leaders chosen by God to do his will. Throughout Genesis and Exodus, both men play important roles in fulfilling God’s will. They are put to many tests, given covenants, and communicate constantly with God. Although they have many similarities such as being leaders and men of God, there are also many differences between the two.

    ... like yet another example of being given a task that in Yahweh’s eyes the person seems not complete well enough, this time loosing the reward of the promise land. The only way to end up successful in the bible becomes to please Yahweh. It seems hard to understand why Yahweh chose not to let Moses into the promise land after Moses completed every task Yahweh told him to. An example being 7: 1-5 God told Moses, “Look at me. I’ll make you as a god to Pharaoh and your brother Aaron will be your prophet. You are to speak everything I command you, and your brother Aaron will tell it to Pharaoh. Then he will release the Israelites from his land.” 7: 10 “Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did what God commanded.” Nevertheless in some way Moses failed to complete the task well enough and therefore readers need not to look to Moses as an example of success in the Bible.

  • Moses Man Of The Mountain Analysis

    1010 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Moses, Man of the Mountain, Zora Neale Hurston unmasks the construction of gender within the African American community. The story centers around patriarchal beliefs on leadership and misogynistic views towards women. She designs the female characters as accessories subordinate to men to highlight the gendered microaggressions that are prevalent among both Black male and female circles. While the novel has moments of female resistance, women’s voices and aspirations are silenced and marginalized throughout. Hurston utilizes Miriam and Zipporah in Moses, Man of the Mountain, to juxtapose female oppression to male leadership. By doing so, she reveals the complex and harmful relationship between gender, religion and leadership in a patriarchal
