the translation of religious texts. It should be accurate and in accord with a sound belief. A translator must fully understand the original source text, then transfers it faithfully, and accurately into the receptor language without adding or omitting. The translation must be as natural as possible to reflect the tone and the style of the source texts, as if the translated texts were originally written to the receptor audience. The transfer of religious texts from one language to
figuratively. I can somewhat compare myself to Carolyn as we both cannot really wrap our heads around the complex stories of God in a figurative way but it is much easier to determine what the text is explaining from the literal perspective. You cannot read the Bible like a textbook, there is so much more meaning of what the text is explaining. I do believe that there also ways to interpret the Bible literally like the bible verse from Luke 6:31, “ Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.” That
is Christian, according to a poll performed by ABC News. Perhaps the Bible is written with women subservient to men because the very story of creation is written as such. Genesis serves as the foundation of not only our universe, but also the religious text. In the biblical story of creation, Adam came first, then came the animals, and then last of all came Eve, putting the origin of women last. Then, it is Eve who is vulnerable enough for evil to deceive her into taking the apple and she who persuades
believed that a person’s private revelations of God took precedence over their revelations from Scripture.

The Bible: From Boring to Transforming “Honestly, reading the Bible is boring,” says 16 year old Micha, “I like the stories and stuff but don’t see how it applies to my life.” This outlook of scripture is all too common among young people today. Micha represents a generation where all good things come in small screens, where satisfaction is based on speed, and where attention is unnecessary to succeed. This modern era has rejected patience and stillness for business and productivity, even when
has been used as means of a justification for many issues. In the case of Bob Jones University, the Bible was used as a way to justify discrimination within the school’s admission selection process. By stating that they were only following their religious beliefs through these discriminatory practices, Bob Jones displayed a misinterpretation of Scripture that proves to be problematic. From this case, one can see that many people interpret the Bible fundamentally, and do not take into account the various
more specifically literalists or fundamentalists have treated people who identify of liking the same gender who strive in the church. Most of these literalists will use their religious book, the Bible, to wrong those that are following the ways of homosexuality by taking it quite literally. Through this, it shows how religious groups play a role on many families who have a daughter or a son who identify themselves as homosexual. Through this analysis using the symbolic interactionist perspective, it

There is a video interview playing at the start of each informational page at the top of the page and there are pictures in the video and to the right of the text of the different discoveries of ancient biblical texts. I like all of the visual aids in this exhibit. In the Beginning: Bibles Before the Year 1000 is an exhibit I would recommend to anyone interested in the history of the bible; it is very informative and user friendly. I enjoyed
in ministry and the redemptive trend hermeneutic as valid. The redemptive trend hermeneutic is a strategy for making sense of our 2000+ year old collection of texts we call the Bible. Keeping in mind the fallenness of humanity from the creator's ideal, the reader sees scripture as containing situations and imperatives which, when the text was written (and perhaps even today!), drew the creation closer to what it was always meant to be. The Bible, therefore, as the holy documents of the Church (the
Galileo Galilei, is forced to recant and turn on his ideals for the sake of his life. The little monk warned Galileo before he divulged his findings, that they could be disastrous to the metaphysical order of society. Peasants, working classes, the religious right, all of humanities concept of the world would be shattered. In the movie Braveheart, a similar situation is evident. Mel Gibson plays William Wallace, a Scottish peasant under the rule of England. English soldiers kill his wife and father
for humanity to understand scriptural truths. This belief can be applied to the present day by finding equilibrium, and in turn allowing for a balanced life. In his Letter to The Grand Duchess Christina, Galileo challenged the widely accepted religious beliefs of the time, claiming that the conflict lies in their interpretation, not the context. In Galileo’s eyes science was an extremely useful tool that could and should have been used in interpreting the Scriptures. He argued that “the intention
When looking at religion from an educational perspective, conflicts may arise due to the various interpretations when analyzing religious text. When differing interpretations appear about various topics, this can then lend itself to starting conflict among people with varying opinions. Using the “The Gay Debate” by Matthew Vines as an example, we are able to look at an individual’s interpretation of the Bible regarding the topic of homosexuality and Christianity. When looking at the argument the
these were the Liberals who “viewed themselves as the saviors of a defunct out of date Christianity” (Bingham 149). Their founder, Friedrich Schleiermacher an 18th century pastor, “did not view traditional, authoritative doctrines, creeds and biblical texts as the preeminent sources in theology (150). Instead the Liberal perspective of Christianity put more emphasis on the doctrines of sin and grace and less attention on the holiness of the trinity (Kerr 213). Jesus was viewed as a historical figure that
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works” (KJV). His approach to this text includes a Four-Step Biblical process which includes; teaching, conviction, correction, and disciplined training in righteousness (p. 13). Adams (1986) approach to counseling is based entirely on the premise that the Word of God is sufficient in and
Quran and the Bible. Most people who confuse the Quran and the Bible have never read or studied either of the books for themselves and merely believe the information they consume through media (Valle, Religion-Online). However, scholars who studied the text of the Quran and the Bible found contextual evidence that proves the Muslim’s Allah and the Christian’s God, whether fiction or factual, to be different gods with opposing moral standards. The textual difference between the Quran and the Bible can
secondary details is not necessary; the main point is that the fact, event, or communication revealed be strictly true. It may be objected that the Bible contains historical books, and that thus God may sometimes wish to reveal certain facts in religious history to us exactly. That doubtless is true, when there is question of facts which are necessary or useful as a basis for religion, in which case the revelation is accompanied by proofs that guarantee its accuracy. A vision need not guarantee its
God is a word sent forth without the support of God’s will; hence, revealing the individuals position; a place outside of God’s government. This is important to understand because it is by the Word of God being spoken and properly exercised in your life that will prepare you for the great things the Lord has in store for you. Not one ounce, portion, or part of the Word of God can be omitted if the individual is to walk in harmony with the Lord. As you adhere to the rudiments of fundamental Biblical

More specifically, I will be demonstrating that in the Koran good and evil are made explicit in the world of the story and for the reader, while the Bible suggest that you should identify good and evil for yourself. The seduction scene in these text teach us about good and evil. In the Bible, the character
