Romans: Romans is a letter from Paul to the church of Rome. Paul had not ever been tovisit this church but had met some of the members in his
travels. I tells of his plan to visit the church. He wrote this letter durning his third missionary trip in 57 A.D. In this letter he explains that God's
sa,vation plan is for everyone, Jews and Gentiles. Belief and acceptance in Jesus and his sacrifice is the only requirement for salvation. All now have the
same access to Jesus, the messiah.
Paul filled the letter with directives to handle many things like daily living for...show more content...
He admitted to it in Galatians 1:13 being exceedingly zealous in his pursicution. But God, Jesus, called Saul of Tarsus out in Acts nine. Jesus
appeared to Saul and blinded him when he asked "Why do you persecute me?" Jesus commanded Saul to continue on his journey and soon Paul was
healed and baptized in the Holy Spirit after Ananias laid hands on him.
After that Saul was refered to as Paul. He left his old life and began his mission as a amasador of Christ's message to all the world, or the world as it
was known at that time. He left Jerusalem and began his missionary journeys, at least five of them. He went to Asia minor (modern Turkey), Syria,
Greece, Italy, Spain even Britian.Paul trained Timothy and John Mark. He was so dedicated to the calling Jesus put on him that he paid for it
spending five years or more in prison for his teachings and faith on multiple occasions. He was whipped bewaten and tortured on more than one

occasion. He even lived through a stoning attempt and being shipwrecked. He paid the ultimate price with his life as a martyr at the hands of the
Romans.
Ephesus–Ephesus was a port city and the commercial and religious capital in Asia minor or modern day Turkey. It was actually the leading sea port
in the empire of Rome with it's hand dug man made harbor. It had a large road leading away to the mountain cites making it accessable by both land

Instructions: Complete the following questions about Psalm 3 and Psalm 34 with a minimum of 75 words per question using complete sentences. Use
required readings, one or more references for each psalm, and any information from the superscriptions of the psalm in your responses. Ensure that you
properly cite references when answering the questions on this worksheet.
Psalm 3
1. What is the historical context for the psalm?
The historical background of Psalm 3 is described in 2 Samuel chapters 15–18. Verse 7 of the said psalm showed David's petition. He asked the Lord to
save him. It is clear from 2 Samuel 15:32–27 that David wisely sent Hushai, his friend, back to Jerusalem...show more content...
Construct an outline of the psalm that shows its literary structure.
Psalm 34:1–3 is an introductory summons to praise (Bosma, n.d.). It was then followed by David's testimonial in verse 4 until verse 6. Further, verses
8–14 is all about the poet's exhortations, which consisted of 10 imperatives and seven poetic lines, with emphasis on verse 11 (Bosma, n.d.). Also, it is
noteworthy that verse 15 describes the Lord as attentive most especially to the righteous; and verse 16 talks about His negative attitude towards those
who perform evil (Bosma, n.d.).
4. Describe poetical devices in the psalm, including examples of parallelism (at least two types) and figures of speech (at least three types).
Psalm 34:17 ultimately corresponds thematically with verses 4 and 7. Bosma (n.d.) believed that this is evident because of the lexical parallels
between in verses 4, 6 and 17. Also, Verses 15–21 reflect the poet's use of alternating parallelism (Bosma, n.d.).
There are various figures of speech evident in this psalm. First, verse 13 represents synecdoche because the tongue and lips meant to represent the
poet as a whole. Second, verse 16 shows anthropomorphism because of the use of "the face of the Lord is against those who do evil," which in turn
signifies the explicit comparison of God to the aspect of mankind (Bible Getaway, n.d.). Lastly, acrostic is also evident in Psalm 34 because each verse
begun with a letter of the alphabet in

Ruth
The book of Ruth is a book about sacrifice, faith, patience, love, kindness, restoration, and fruitfulness. The basic literary is narrative and the authorship
is believed to be Samuel written between 1020 – 1000 BC. The main personalities of this book are Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz. The Book of Ruth is about
how a man named Elimelech takes his wife Naomi and their two sons Mahlon and Chilion from living in a town known as "the house of bread" in
Bethlehem to the land of Moab on his own will to escape death. Here the two sons married unequally yoked Moab women by the names of Orpah
and Ruth. All within a decade Naomi loses her husband and two sons to death. One day Naomi hears that God's favor has returned to Bethlehem and
that food is available so Naomi decides to return. Not too far into the journey back to Bethlehem, accompanied by Orpah and Ruth, Naomi tells
Orpah and Ruth to return to Moab but Ruth decides to continue with Naomi and follow God. Upon their arrival, the whole town was in a frenzy at
the return of Naomi. When confronted about her identity she told them to call her Mara, which means bitter, and no longer Naomi which means
pleasant. Ruth and Naomi returned at the beginning of the barley harvest and the next day Ruth took it upon herself to go to the field collect food.
While out on the field a man by the name of Boaz, who is related to

Jia Hao Low
The book of Genesis is the first book of the Bible in chronological order. It is part of the Pentateuch written and compiled mostly by Moses. It is also
often referred to as the Torah.
The word Genesis is a Greek word, which means Origin.
The Hebrew word of the word, Genesis (Raysheeth) means Beginning.
The purpose of Genesis is simply to record the handiwork of God. This is the foundational book for all books in the Bible, as most stories in the Bible
can be traced back to this book.

Isaac

Another example of a "Type" of Christ is the biblical person, Isaac.
He was the Promised Son, which was formed in a supernatural way from the barren womb of Sarah.
Jesus was born of a virgin birth, in a supernatural way.
Isaac was considered "dead" to Abraham when he began the 3 days journey to the place of sacrifice.
Jesus was in a borrowed tomb for 3 days.
Isaac was "raised" from the dead when God asked Abraham to stopped the act, upon seeing his faith. Jesus himself was also raised from the grave
after the cross. Both Isaac and Jesus offered their lives up willingly for Abraham and God the Father respectively as a sacrifice.
Because of all these examples, Isaac can be considered as a "Type" of Christ.
Adam
An example of a contrasting "Type" of Christ will be Adam.
Through the side of Adam, Eve was formed. (Physical Life)
Through the side of Christ, all man receives salvation. (Spiritual Life).
Adam representing Mankind was giving dominion over Earth,
Christ after resurrection was elevated to God's right hand.
Adam experienced the judgment of God–he ultimately died and his body turned to dust.
Christ experienced the judgment of God through death on the cross, but he didn't stay dead, for he rose again.
The first Adam failed the test, and in doing so involved all humanity in his defeat, dragging the human race down with him As a result, in Adam we all

Gorrant, Jim. The Lost Dogs. New York: Penguin Group, 2011. Print. This book is about the trials and tribulations of thepit bull dogs that were owned
by Michael Vick. Michael Vick was a quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons football team but was later found guilty of dog fighting, animal cruelty,
and several counts of animal abuse. The book focuses on the pit bulls that were found on his property and their story of rescue and rehabilitation.
This book is relevant because it highlights on the reasons why many pit bulls are considered dangerous and aggressive, and why this is not true. It
shows how underestimated dogs who were considered dangerous and destructive could be rehabilitated and did not have to be euthanized. It also
shows how as humans, we are the reason for the discrimination of the breed, and how we have made pit bulls become outcast which is one of my
main arguments. The currency is 2011, which is up–to–date. This book is credible, because it has its own work cited page and the information comes
from many non–bias, veterinary professionals. The quality of the book is very up to date and has pictures of Michael Vicks rehabilitated dogs. It also has

Gender Matters is a collection of various essays on feminist linguistic texts analysis, by Sara Mills. Mills develops methods of analyzing literary and
non–literary texts, in addition to conversational analysis based on a feminist approach. The author draws on data from her collection of essays
gathered over the last two decades on feminism during the 1990s. The essays focus on gender issues, the representation of gender in reading, writing,
and in public speaking. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of feminists' analysis of sexism in literature and the relation between gender and

Moreover, Butler's literature review is based on philosophers and social theorists such as, Foucault and Nietzsche. The author attempts to analyze some
of the attributes and variables in the society such as sex variable and the gender identity characteristics. She depicts gender in queer theories in media
in a critical manner that makes her work a valuable contribution to the field of gender studies. The book would assist my paper, by providing insights
into the idea of gender being negotiated through discourse and performance of gender in everyday interaction, and how identity is a performativity and
it is constituted by expression. Butler's views on gender challenges the cultural norms and gender categories. Therefore, she brought a creative chaos to
the people about their sexual instincts and the establishment of the marriage agency. The book lacks empirical studies, quantitative researches.
However, as my research relays on the literature review and secondary materials, this book would provide my paper with a deep insight into the queer
theories. Christie, C. (2000). Gender and Language: Towards A Feminist Pragmatics . Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press.

Web. 18 Feb. 2011. The article titled "Vermont Considers Lowering Drinking Age to 18" is about the Republican state representative for Vermont,
Richard Marron's view on lowering the drinking age after reading Mr. McCardell's newspaper column. Marron wants to propose a bill that lowers the
drinking age to 18. However, federal support is keeping other legislators from signing the bill as co–sponsors. "Mr. Marron's bill is unlikely to pass,
mainly because if it did, Vermont would lose $9.7 million in federal money for highway maintenance, grants available only if a state sets its drinking
age at 21. And the state's public safety commissioner and health department, along with several legislators, argue that lowering the drinking age would
simply worsen the problem of under–age drinking and drunken driving"(Belluck). Even though in this article it states that there are some
representatives that would not be for signing the bill for personal reasons, the only other thing that it comes down to from a legislative point of view
is transportation funds. This article has to do with my thesis because it deals with taking action to lower the drinking age. It also talks about how no
matter what kids are going to find the way around the drinking age. For example, 18 year olds are traveling to Canada to drink because the legal age
there is 18. This source really contributes to my overall understanding of the topic, because it taught me a new issue to lowering

Who Are You As A Writer? Essay
When presented with the question, "who are you as a writer?", I was speechless at first. But after thinking about it, I realized who I am as a writer
has been influenced by so many different sponsors throughout my life and there was not a short, concrete answer. Brandt mentions that "literacy
is sponsored by people, institutions, and circumstances that both make it possible for a person to become literate and shape the way the person
actually acquires literacy." (Brandt 43) My attitude towards writing has been influenced by teachers, both negatively and positively, by my
mother, and by academic assignments over the years. My answer to the question can only be answered by a narrative of my writing life. I have
convinced myself that I am a terrible writer, and when presented with a writing assignment, I get anxious instantly. I see writing as a burden and a
huge obstacle that gets placed in my life. Academic writing is not fun, but something I value due to the fact that we are a grade driven society.
When writing, I write to the guidelines in order to receive points for the requested criteria. The reason being, I gave up on expressing my own ideas
because I had been shut down by so many teachers throughout my education. I tried to write down what came to my mind and put my own twist on
things, but that was not the "right" way to write papers. In order to make both my teachers and my grades happy, I wrote what they wanted to hear, and
even then I was not to the level they

Essay On Bias
After writing my first bias narrative I have a new perspective on being biased towards complex topics that can be debatable. The essay helped me
become aware of other people's thoughts and opinions. The way I was raised had influenced me to always lean toward a certain direction and I
always had a bias perspective on things. Bias, prejudice, and discrimination are all common terms because they connect to each other in a certain way. I
don't want to be the person that draws conclusions based on what I learned and what I've been taught.
The only challenge I faced was having to work in groups. I am an anti–social person and the last thing I wanted was be placed in a group with
strangers. But I realized they probably feel the same way I do and it will be awkward at first but eventually, we'll get used to each other. I was right,
we all started talking about more than just our assignment and began to bond. I enjoyed having conversations with them and still being able to focus
on what needs to be done. Although it was not easy to overcome...show more content...
The class discussion helps me be more open–minded to what is happening in society and our government. For example, when I researching my topic
for my group project which is social media I thought about how it strongly has an effect on us and we are too blinded to notice. My favorite activity
was going to the Art Gallery because the artwork and portraits caught my attention. My favorite one was the Cheerleaders Double by Derek Fordjour
because of the way he created an art piece using just newspapers. In addition, the woman that explained each art piece interpreted ideas that I did not
think of when I was roaming the art gallery. I think it's fascinating how a person can explain many themes and hidden messages just by staring at the
work. After the art exhibition, it made me appreciate art more and be observant on what the artist is trying to

In this article, Paul Daugherty describes various reasons why college athletes should NOT be paid. He gives various hypothetical, yet real situations
of what could happen as well as the straight up facts of the case. He explains that schools that have created a historically wealthy background could
shell out more money than other schools for the best players, creating a gap that would result in 6 or 7 elite teams and the rest would all be just
average. He also explains how the current financial system for student athletes is quite enough reimbursement for bringing in the amount of money to
the school that they do. This article will prove to be very helpful in arguing the negative side to paying athletes.

Overview On March 13, 1964 thirty–eight neighbors failed to intervene when a 28 year old woman named Katherine "Kitty" Genovese was being
murdered behind the building. (Manning, Levine, & Collins, 2007). This incident proposed the experiment of the "Bystander Effect" by Bibb LatanГ©
and John Darley, among other scientists, to find out why thirty–eight people had not done anything to help during this situation (LatanГ© & Darley,
1969).
According to LatanГ© and Darley (1969), The Bystander Effect has three main explanations behind it, which includes diffusion of responsibility,
evaluation apprehension, and pluralistic ignorance (Darley & LatanГ©, 1968). Diffusion of responsibility withdraws a person from exhibiting a
helping behavior when there are other bystanders present because it is expected that others can contribute to the helping behavior, and that the
outcome is not just on one person's shoulders (LatanГ© et al., 2002). On the other hand, when a person imagines that there are no other people
present, or that the people present are not able to engage in a helping behavior, a person will act as if he or she was alone and will be more likely to
intervene in the situation (Darley, Teger, & Lewis, 1973).
Before acting during an emergency, a person is most likely to scan around and observe whether others are already taking responsibility, or are about to
take responsibility for it; if those people in the scene of an emergency are not doing anything, then the person will feel

The document, Genesis: The Christian Origin Narrative is an excerpt taken from the first chapter of the bible, The Book of Genesis. It is taken from
the New King James version, which was published in 1611. The author of the book is unspecified even though it's assumed to be written by Moses, a
Christian prophet. On the other hand, there's no evidentiary factor to prove otherwise. Christian scholars believe that Genesis was written during the
time Moses rescued the children of Israel from being captured by the Egyptians (1450–1410 B.C). As the name implies, the Book of Genesis was
written to describe the beginning of history. It was written for the people of Israel, the descendants of Abraham, to give hope and to explain how and
where they were...show more content...
The Book of Genesis sets the tone for God's purpose for earth's creatures, male and female, more specifically husband and wife relationships. It
starts by showing how both man and woman was made in the image of God while making everything else below them: "And God said, Let us
make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the seas, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,
and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created
he him; male and female created he them." However, gender inequality forms evidently afterwards. After warning both Adam and Eve to not eat the
forbidden fruit, Satan in the form of a serpent convinced Eve to eat the fruit reassuring her of no consequences. After sharing the fruit with Adam, they
both felt guilt and regret and hid from God. Consider the following from Genesis where God is describing the curse and how it affects the relationship
between men and women. "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;
and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over

Why Is Genesis So Important In The Bible
Genesis is one of the most important books within the bible. Genesis is the first book to show God's Word. Genesis is extremely significant since it is
the beginning of numerous things that occur in the Bible. Essentially, it is the foundation of the Bible. For those who do not know, Genesis means
"beginning."
God created humanity in his image. Essentially, we are the shepherds of the earth. We are to take care of the Earth and all that comes with it, such as
"the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky." However, we may not rule over each other. God made us to take care of one another, not to control each
other like the livestock and wild animals that run over the earth.
Similarities between God and humanity is we have the ability to think.

The author starts by acknowledging just how many states have adopted the many strategies of reducing the amount of prisoners housed. The author
argues that offender classification has been shown to be the key to successful correctional management. The author reviews five overcrowded prisons
where classification procedures were abused and contributed to the harmfulness of overcrowding.
The idea that the author is trying to push is that it isn't just classification that will help solve the problem but also the management that must be taken
into account. The way the prisoners are classified when they come into prison is a way that should be looked at to assure the decisions about inmates
and prison programming goes into effect. The author discusses ways that prisoners can be "matched" with prisons and facilities in order to increase
their chances of staying in prison non–violent. When prisons are overcrowded, classification decisions are more haphazard and restricted which makes
prisoners over classified.
Inappropriate classifications can hurt the prison system, the prisons, and the economy because more taxes go out to house prisons that already have too
many inmates, and not enough faculty members. The author also discusses the effect overcrowding has on a prisoner trying to move out of the

Book of David
By Shannon L Tyler
King David was known as the successor of Saul. This story can be located in the book of First Samuel, written by Samuel during the period
c.630–540BCE, with additions by prophets such as Gad and Nathan. David is introduced as the youngest of eight sons who is known to be an anointed
king by Samuel to eventually replace Saul. When David later grew up, he was thought of as a good leader. David was considered an outstanding
leader however, he was not perfect. As a king, David had positive and negative leadership characteristics. Throughout his reign as king of Israel, David
showed remorse for his negative decisions and for straying from God. David

Hebrew Word Study Nephesh
Word Study on Nephesh
Young Hoon (John) Kim
The Hebrew word Nephesh occurs 754x throughout the Old Testament, Psalms use 144x, three times of verb form (to exhale), and the plural form of
Nephesh occurs fifty tiems. Though, KJV translates the term as life 280x, personality 220x, throat thirty–three times, and neck four times, the standard
gloss is soul/life. A verb form of Nephesh "to exhale" (Exod. 23:12; 31:17; 2 Kings 16:14) shows that this word is closely related to "living–being."
Moreover, the expression hayyГў "alive" (Gen. 2:7) indicates that it is being used to describe people or animals. Furthermore, when Nephesh being
used as subject of qatsar "to be short" (Num. 21:4; Judg. 10:16, 16:16; Zech. 11:8) and showb "to restore, revive"...show more content...
As an object, nДЃsal "deliver" (Josh. 2:13; Isa. 44:20), mДЃlat "to save" (1 Sam. 19:11), hДЃlas "rescue" (Ps. 6:5), and yДЃsha "save" indicate that it
is referring to the "saving" of man's life.
The word Nephesh has three primary senses. Sense 1 is living being as general, which is closely related to a life. Sense 2 is soul, and sense 3 is throat,
which closely relates to the verb form of Nephesh "to breath." Examples of sense 1 refer to the precious individual living self (Ex. 21:23; Lev. 24:18;
Deut. 19:21; 1 Kings 20:39, 42; 2 Kings 10:24) and life of the flesh (Lev. 17:11). Moreover, in the context of the creation and the flood, Nephesh refers
to animals and people (Gen. 1:20f; 24; 9:10, 12, 15f; Lev. 11:10, 46; Ezek. 47:9). Sense 2 is connected to sense 1 but refers to sphere aspect. When the
word refers to soul, Nephesh is being used to connect with emotional state of joy, "Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for I long for you, O Lord (Ps.
86:4). Not only of emotional state, but also it is being used as appreciation, "Pleasant words are ... sweet to the soul" (Prov. 16:23), "Knowledge will be
pleasant to soul" (Prov. 2:10). Moreover, it is being used for the closest friendships, when the Bible talks

A Brief Look at Genesis
Genesis
The author of Genesis is anonymous but most scholars attribute its composure to Moses. Genesis is believed to have been dated to around 1445
BC (Illustrated Bible Survey an Introduction, 2013).Genesis is part of the Pentateuch or 5 scrolls (Illustrated Bible Survey an Introduction,
2013). It was written for the Israelites to understand their history and creation. Genesis is the beginning. This book begins at our creation. It
describes our creation and purpose. The creation of the world and its inhabitants and expansive space (i.e. other planets, galaxies and stars) is all
discussed within its pages. We see where we began and how we ended up where we are, living a sin nature. It discusses our fall and original sin.
Adam and Eve God's original creation sinned and were exiled from the Garden of Eden. We see the God's judgment in the flood. This is where God
sees our evil and floods the Earth only sparing Noah and his family. Our foolish acts that lead to various languages and nations from the tower of
Babel can be found in Genesis 10:1–11:9. The patriarchs of the Bible begin here. The stories of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph can be found within
Genesis. This is the creation of the covenant relationship with God. The Abrahamic Covenant begins here in Genesis 12:1–13 (Illustrated Bible Survey
an Introduction, 2013). Here we learn what blessing God has in store for the Israelites.
