This document discusses various perspectives on the relationship between humanity and God/creator. It contrasts an ancient monotheistic view that humans should bow to their creator, with other ancient and modern views that see continuity between nature, gods, and humanity or that see fate/chance as ultimate. It also discusses concepts of justice, natural rights, social good, and positive law. Finally, it examines the uniqueness of Israelite prophecy and God's revealed sanctions against Israel in response to moral breaches.

Introduction to Mark
This introduction to Mark's gospel emphasizes the good news concerning the inbreaking Kingdom of God as announced and spearheaded by Messiah, Jesus. Signs and Wonders attend. The crucifixion and resurrection ensure. Go tell the Good News! It's time!
Religious legitimacy and the culture of Entitlement
The world will not survive religion based on tribal consciousness. It will destroy the world.
But if those who arrive at what is truest from their own tradition, which transcends their own tradition, they recognize each other.
And if they would speak up, religious people could be a source for world unity and world peace.
- Thomas Merton (Writer, Poet, and Theologian)
Ps 240 Fundamentalism Fall 2008
The document discusses different forms of religious fundamentalism including Jewish, Christian, and Islamic fundamentalism. It provides background on the factors that influenced the rise of contemporary Islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East following World War II and the creation of Israel. It also discusses the philosophies and goals of religious fundamentalists, including their beliefs about strict adherence to religious doctrines, opposition to secularism and liberalism, and desire to have government promote and enforce traditional religious values.
A sobering truth
Our response to God's Word determines our future. Throughout history, nations that followed God prospered for long periods of time like the Babylonians for 86 years and Persians for 208 years, while those that turned away from God like monarchies in Europe lasted only around 600 years. In the early 100s AD, Emperor Trajan and Pliny the Younger condemned Christians for undermining social order and progress. By the late 1800s, Christianity emphasized the authority of Scripture over tradition but also promoted secularism and reason during the Enlightenment, weakening its influence. This led to the French Revolution's Reign of Terror where King Louis XVI was beheaded and over 40,000 others killed, showing how a nation without
Apocalyptic Themes in Movies

Kingdom first presentation_notes
This document provides an overview of the key concepts of God's kingdom and the two invisible kingdoms that are in operation - the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Satan. It defines the Kingdom of God as Christ's spiritual domain and explains that mankind can choose which kingdom they will belong to. The document also outlines the seven major world systems - media, education, business, government, family, arts & entertainment, and religion - that shape culture according to the priorities and agenda of the nations on Earth. Christians are called to influence these systems as citizens of God's kingdom.
Hannah Arendt: Joodse perspectieven en controversen
De Duits-joodse filosofe Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) was ongetwijfeld een van de meest invloedrijke politieke denkers van de Twintigste Eeuw. Werken zoals The Origins of Totalitarianism, The Human Condition, On Revolution en The Life of the Mind worden dan ook terecht als klassiekers van de politieke filosofie beschouwd. In deze monografieën en in talloze essays tracht Arendt het belang en de betekenis van de meest cruciale politieke gebeurtenissen van de vorige eeuw te doorgronden en laat ze zien hoe ze ons politiek en moreel oordeelsvermogen onherroepelijk veranderd hebben.
4th Sunday - Gospel - Luke 4:21–30
In this passage from Luke, Jesus teaches at the synagogue in his hometown of Nazareth. The people are initially amazed by his words but then doubt and question who he is. Jesus tells them that prophets are not accepted in their hometown. He gives examples from Elijah and Elisha of how they helped Gentiles rather than Jews, showing that God cares for Gentiles too. This makes the people angry and they try to throw Jesus off a cliff, but he passes through the crowd unharmed.

This makes the people angry and they try to throw Jesus off a cliff, but he passes through the crowd unharmed.
Acts Lesson 2
The passage describes the day of Pentecost in Acts 2, when the Holy Spirit came upon the apostles. Peter addressed the crowd, explaining that Jesus, who they had crucified, was made both Lord and Christ by God through his resurrection. Many people were baptized and joined the apostles' community, devoting themselves to learning and fellowship.
Sermon Slide Deck: "On the Road to Seeing Jesus" (Luke 24:13-35)
The document summarizes a passage from the Gospel of Luke where Jesus appears unrecognized to two disciples who are walking on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection. Jesus explains to them how the prophets foretold his suffering and resurrection. Only when he breaks bread with them at a meal do their eyes open and they recognize him. They then hurry to share the news with the other disciples in Jerusalem. The document explores how this story illustrates that one needs Jesus to fully understand and find meaning in the Scriptures.
The Evolution of God - How the Image of God evolved over time
The Image of God passed through six major stages over time.
This slide presentation presents the development.
Application of Justice
1. The document discusses the theological concept of justice from a Christian perspective. It argues that God did not intend for Christians to seek justice through secular courts, as the world belongs to Satan and the courts are occupied by unbelievers.
2. It provides definitions of justice from the Hebrew Bible and examines different forms of justice discussed in the Bible, such as universal justice towards the vulnerable and specific justice without favoritism.
3. The author shares a personal experience seeking a divorce through secular courts and feeling the system was biased towards those with greater financial resources. They believe Christians should generally avoid lawsuits and resolve disputes through Christian arbitration instead.
Sermon Slide Deck: “When Death Started Working Backwards” (Luke 24:36-53)
Jesus appeared to his disciples after his resurrection. They did not initially recognize him. He showed them his hands and feet with the nail wounds to prove it was really him in the flesh. He ate broiled fish to further convince them. He opened their minds to understand how the Old Testament prophecies foretold his suffering and resurrection. He led them to Bethany, blessed them, and then ascended to heaven. The disciples became witnesses of Jesus' resurrection and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
Sermon Slide Deck: "The Core Value Of The Gospel" (1 Corinthians 15:1-9)
We value the Gospel because it is the life-changing Good News of what Jesus did for us.

Wofi week 1_-_antiquity_till_today_10-2011
This document provides an overview of Israel advocacy training material covering:
1) The history of the Jewish people and their connection to Israel, including the two ancient kingdoms and subsequent diaspora.
2) How the Bible establishes the historical and religious basis for Jewish ties to the land of Israel.
3) The modern State of Israel and challenges it faces regarding its identity as both a Jewish nation and a democracy.
4) Why anti-Israel sentiment is rising on college campuses and in communities, arguing that academics and journalists often provide only a partial view of the complex Arab-Israeli conflict.
Deut 036
The document describes different groups of people in ancient Israel and their status or responsibilities. It discusses Israelites, widows and orphans, ger or resident aliens, and nokree or foreigners and what blessings or responsibilities each group had. It also summarizes differences between domestic and foreign interest rates in ancient times and lists some divine institutions like responsible thought and speech, marriage, family, and civil government.
Deut 034
The document discusses different perspectives on the problem of evil between Christians and pagans. It notes that from a Christian perspective, evil is abnormal and temporary, while goodness is forever normal. It also outlines different coping strategies in Christianity for direct and indirect suffering, as well as divine purposes for allowing suffering such as evangelism. In contrast, it notes that pagan religions like Baal worship view good and evil as in constant mix and struggle. The document then shifts to discussing tithing practices in Israel and obligations for Israelites, Ger, and Nokree. It closes with a quote from Tobit describing tithing practices.
Deut 057-slides
The document outlines various commandments and their rationales. It lists false prophets and violating God's word and a prophet's authority as the first commandment. The second lists misusing animals as violating their life-giving purpose and unique design. The third lists perpetual labor and debt as violating faith in God's provision and designed freedom from debt-forced labor. The fourth lists taking another's property as violating God's ownership boundary and honor of the owner. It also applies these rationales to modern socialism.
Deut 056-slides
The document outlines God's design for an orderly society structured around key principles: [1] Life is to be protected and respected; [2] Strong, functional marriages and families are important; [3] Labor and property are to be productive and respected. It contrasts this with a society oriented around self instead of God, where these principles are weakened or violated. The document uses a chiastic structure to emphasize the importance of integrity in communication and allegiance to God.
Duet 045-slides
This document presents a chiastic structure analyzing the design of God for civil government and society based on Genesis 9:6. The chiastic structure places protecting life, marriage and family, labor and property, and integrity of communication at the center, surrounded by elements involving worshipping God alone, accuracy in language about God, and heart allegiance to God or self. It also includes analysis of the structure of chapters 6 and 7 in the Bible relating to commands, procedures, war, and relationships with God.
Deut Ppt 010
The document discusses whether one should bow to their creator, with two perspectives presented. The first perspective is that ancient monotheism, ancient Israel, the Bible, and fundamentalism support bowing to a personal, sovereign creator who is distinct from but ultimately responsible for man and nature. The opposing perspective is that ancient myths, eastern religions, western philosophy, and modern theology do not support bowing, seeing continuity between being, nature above gods, and gods above man with eventual transmutation through impersonal fate or chance.
Deut notes-023
The document discusses God's design for society and contrasts aspects that are aligned with God versus not aligned. Key aspects discussed include life, marriage and family, labor and property, integrity of communication, and heart allegiance. The document also discusses doctrines of revelation and inspiration, outlining that revelation includes verbal, personal, historical, comprehensive and prophetic aspects. Inspiration involves dual authorship between human and divine, is verbal and plenary, and provides a sufficient subset of revelation that is infallible. The final section provides an outline for chapters 6 and 7 of the document.
Deut 066-slides
God presented the Israelites with a linear and progressive theory of history, allowing them to extend the covenant over centuries rather than follow the cyclical view of time common in other ancient societies. By giving them faith in the future through the covenant, the Israelites gained a long-term orientation and an "upper-class mentality" that could provide a way out of poverty, with neither linear time nor the concept of growth found elsewhere.
Deut ppt-032
This document discusses several key Christian theological concepts including the New Testament canon, the Trinity and person of Christ, justification by faith alone, ecclesiology and eschatology, and the Holy Spirit's role in guiding the growth of the church. It also briefly mentions ideas around universal history, continuity of being, idealistic logic, divine justice, human merit, and the divine state-savior concept.
Deut 001-slides
This document provides a timeline of key events related to the Temple in Jerusalem from 1500 BC to 586 BC. It notes Moses receiving the Torah around 1500 BC and Josiah's reforms around 1000 BC. It then discusses scholarly debates around the dating of the final edition of the Book of Deuteronomy, with some arguing it was around the 7th century BC rather than earlier.
Deut 055-slides
The document outlines God's design for an orderly society with chiastic structure. It presents pairs of concepts with one side representing God's ideal and the other a dysfunctional alternative. These include life being protected versus jeopardized, strong families versus weak families, respected property versus demeaned property, truthfulness versus deception, and allegiance to God versus allegiance to self. The document also includes diagrams analyzing the structure of biblical chapters and comparing Christian and pagan views of good and evil.
Deut ppt-016
The document discusses the relationship between love and obedience based on several biblical passages. It says that in the passages, loving God means keeping His commandments. It also says that if anyone loves God, they will keep His word and God and the Father will come to them and make their home with them. However, if anyone does not love God, they do not keep His words. The document also discusses doctrines of revelation, dispensations, and the Ten Commandments and their presuppositions.
Deut notes-021
This document outlines God's design for an ideal society and contrasts it with a non-ideal society. An ideal society under God's design has protected life, strong families, respected labor and property, truthful communication, and allegiance to God. A non-ideal society has jeopardized life, weak families, demeaned labor and property, deceitful communication, and allegiance to self instead of God.
Deut 065-slides
This document outlines 3 fundamental questions about reality, knowledge, and ethics. It asks what reality and existence are truly about, how we can recognize truth, and if justice exists and how we can identify it, representing metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical questions respectively.
Deut 058-slides
This document discusses factors that contribute to prosperity and certainty in law and society. It argues that strong, functioning families and respect for marriage, life, labor and property support prosperity, while weak families, disrespect for these institutions undermine prosperity and legal certainty. It also discusses how stable, just rules that encourage entrepreneurship are important for productivity, while unstable, changing rules that incentivize lobbying undermine productivity.

The document contains several unrelated passages about biblical figures, concepts, and historical events:
1) It discusses Abraham's family tree listing his descendants Terah, Nahor, Haran, Ishmael, Isaac, Ammon, Moab, Jacob, Esau, and Lot.
2) It summarizes Meredith Kline's view that God will set a great gulf between the redeemed and reprobate in the afterlife, withdrawing favor from the reprobate and hating them as finished products of sin.
3) It outlines different biblical perspectives on property ownership, stating that God owns all property ultimately and people have the right to exclude others, but must follow God's stip
Deut 063-slides
This document provides a table listing major religious and philosophical traditions that emerged around 600 BCE, including Zoroastrianism in Persia, Jainism and Buddhism in India, Taoism and Confucianism in China, and the development of Upanishads and Vedanta monism in India.

Deut 047-slides
This document discusses debates around homeschooling and parental control over children's education. It presents opposing viewpoints on whether there should be limits on what homeschooling parents can teach and greater government oversight of homeschooling. Some argue that parents have too much control and could teach beliefs that undermine democratic values, while others counter that more state oversight risks imposing oppressive beliefs on children. Overall, it explores the tensions between religious freedom, parental rights, and government interests in children's education and exposure to certain core civic values.
Deut 051-slides
The document discusses two groups in biblical statutes related to charitable loans, ownership, and God's design of society. Group 1 emphasizes protecting life, strong families and marriage, respecting labor and property, truthfulness, and allegiance to God. Group 2 allows life to be jeopardized, has weak families, demeans labor and wastes property, uses deceit, and has allegiance to self. It also analyzes ownership in ancient Israel, stating that prior investment or mixing labor with land did not entitle ownership, and that grace from God preceded any laws around ownership.
Deut notes-027
The document outlines God's design for an orderly society structured around principles like the sanctity of life, strong families and marriage, respect for labor and property, and truthful communication. It presents this design as a chiastic structure with the principles in one column representing a functioning society and the opposite column representing a dysfunctional one where these principles are not upheld. The bottom section contrasts a Christian view that sees a distinction between good and evil with a pagan view that sees good and evil as intermixed and normal rather than temporary.

Deut 011-slides
This document presents two opposing viewpoints on whether one should bow to their creator. The "YES!" viewpoint argues that ancient monotheism, ancient Israel, the Bible, and fundamentalism support bowing to a personal sovereign creator who is distinct from nature and holds ultimate responsibility. The "NO!" viewpoint argues that ancient myths, eastern religions, western philosophy, and modern theology support an impersonal fate or chance and see humanity as ultimately victimized with a continuity between nature, gods, and humanity through transmutation and evolution.

CCL Open Night April 2012 - Speaking about Christ in public
Christian voices in the public square often sparks debate around the appropriate role of religion in politics. There are differing views on this issue, from those who advocate a strict separation of church and state to allow no religious influence in lawmaking, to those who believe religious arguments are acceptable. The document discusses debates around justificatory liberalism, which holds that only non-religious "public reasons" should justify laws, and alternatives that are more open to religious perspectives but still respect pluralism. It analyzes challenges with finding a neutral common ground and how limits on religious voices could disenfranchise citizens.
1 The Life of St Paul1.pptx
Pauline ethics are based on the teachings of St. Paul and centered around faith working through love. For Paul, faith is a gift from God that involves total commitment and obedience to Christ. Love is the fulfillment of the law and the core of Christian life and ethics. A human act is judged based on its object, intention, and circumstances, with the greatest emphasis placed on love as the guiding principle for moral decision making.
Our Fading Constellation
This document provides an abstract and introduction for a paper discussing how society has shifted from Newtonian absolutes and belief in God to Darwinian relativity. The abstract notes that scientists like Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin have influenced society through their ideas. Newton believed in absolutes and God, while Darwin's work on evolution reflected relativity and absence of divine design. Many contemporary issues stem from this scientific shift. The introduction discusses how constellations have provided guidance for centuries through universal laws, and draws a parallel between the fading constellations and society's fading reliance on divine authority in favor of individual interpretations.
Essay On Human Nature
The document discusses human nature and its relationship with the natural world. It argues that humanity has never truly been free, as freedom is an illusion, and that humans must comply with natural laws or suffer consequences. It provides examples of how human-caused disasters like pollution and climate change have disrupted the environment and caused harm, showing that nature does not give "second chances" and that humanity must learn its subordinate role to the greater natural order. The essay contends that humans are not privileged in nature and have a responsibility to align their actions with natural laws to avoid suffering repercussions for upsetting ecological balances.
Deut 040
The document outlines the evolution of Israel's government from its earliest stages to a later system with greater complexity. It started as a theocracy led by Moses and elders of the 12 tribes, and gradually developed officers, judges, and a supreme court to manage different regions while still being united under God's law. A second excerpt discusses key aspects of ancient Egyptian religion like its view of a static, unchanging universe and how that influenced their belief in established authority and rejection of change.
7 Mountain eCourse - Session 1
The document discusses the concept of the "7 Cultural Mountains" which are the 7 key areas that influence culture: government, business, education, arts & entertainment, family, media, and religion. It argues that changing culture requires influencing the small percentage of leaders within each of these spheres rather than just increasing the number of Christians. The strategy focuses on being "salt and light" in the world through relationships and serving others, not dominating or controlling culture.
Counterfeit Christs - Humanism
This document discusses the rise of humanism as an alternative to Christianity. It traces humanism back to ancient Greek philosophers like Protagoras who asserted that man is the measure of all things. During the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods, thinkers increasingly elevated human reason and abilities above revelation from God. This led to a secular, naturalistic worldview where man, not God, is central. The document argues that when God is removed, humanism leads to an unstable downward spiral and the rise of authoritarianism. It provides examples of rulers throughout history who claimed divine status or demanded worship as a way to consolidate power over populations without God.

Law and Morality to be Concerned With Ethics
1. The document discusses the relationship between law, morality, and religion. It argues that morality cannot exist without religion, as morality creates rules that oppose human instincts.
2. While natural laws and human instincts are not the source of morality, societies need some moral and religious foundations for laws to survive long-term. Without compulsion to act morally, most people would not satisfy morality's demands.
3. The author recognizes there are paradoxes around morality and religion in real life. Some religious people act materialistically, while some atheists are moral. Overall, though, humanity could not have a glorious history without strong religious and moral principles.
Anselm faith reason zen
The document discusses various philosophical and theological ideas related to faith, reason, salvation, and the relationship between religion and government. It references ideas from Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Greek philosophy, and figures like Thomas Jefferson. The key debates centered around how to reconcile faith and reason, whether religious doctrines should be interpreted metaphorically or literally, and whether concepts like salvation and justice are best grounded in religious doctrines or philosophical reasoning.
Foes of the Faith
Paul discusses being content in whatever state he finds himself. He has learned to be humble during difficulties and thankful during good times. Through Christ who strengthens him, Paul can endure all things.
Universal Ethical Principles as Foundations for Human Rights
The document discusses debates that occurred within the Commission on Human Rights about including a reference to God in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Some representatives felt it was important to acknowledge God or natural/spiritual foundations of human rights, while others wanted to avoid references that could reduce universality. In the end, references to God were not included to gain broader acceptance, though some argue they could now be added without losing support.
03-Evidences is it reasonable morals religion
The document discusses whether it is reasonable to believe in God in this scientific age and examines potential explanations for morality, conscience, and spirituality. It argues that science cannot fully explain the origin of the universe, life, morality, or spirituality. While naturalistic explanations like evolution have been proposed, they fail to adequately account for these phenomena. The document asserts that belief in God provides the most reasonable foundation for objective moral values and duties. It contends the Bible demonstrates reliability, accuracy, fulfilled prophecy, wisdom, and durability, demanding a divine origin.
[Module 4] key figures.pptx
This document provides an overview of several key figures and texts in the early Christian tradition and their contributions to moral theology. It discusses the Didache as one of the earliest Christian teachings. It then covers Augustine's reframing of virtues as perfect love of God and his doctrine of the Two Cities. Thomas Aquinas synthesized classical philosophy with Christianity and located moral theology in his Summa Theologica. The document also summarizes Luther's teachings on Christian freedom and the two kingdoms, the Anabaptists' Schleitheim Confession advocating separation from the world, and Calvin's positive view of church-state relations and believers serving in government.
Politics week two
The document discusses engaging in politics from a Christian perspective. It provides a framework for engagement that includes God's glory as the end, justice and shalom as goals, and using the Holy Spirit, scriptures, history and virtues like humility as means. It also discusses how politics is downstream from culture, so changing the culture is important for changing laws. The agenda includes a Bible study on Jesus' kingdom not being of this world, a lesson on political ideology focusing on individual vs collective sovereignty, and a book review on views of the church and politics from a Reformed perspective.
Got ethics - Civil Disobedience
This document discusses different models of government and civil disobedience from a Christian perspective. It analyzes secularism, reconstructionism, and Jeffersonianism as models of government/church interaction, and notes Jeffersonianism allows freedom for all religions while recognizing a natural divine law. Regarding civil disobedience, it rejects anarchism and radical patriotism in favor of biblical submissionism. This holds Christians can peacefully disobey governments that command evil but should otherwise obey just laws, work to change governments, accept consequences, and pray for leaders.

Colleges Denying the Only Real Source of Truth – God
This document describes the author's experiences in college courses that have challenged their religious beliefs. It discusses classes on topics like same-sex marriage that went against the author's views. It also describes philosophy club meetings where the existence of absolute morality and God were debated. The author feels some course content and teachings can be considered blasphemous. They feel their faith is being discredited, their intelligence questioned, and their dissent ignored.
Keeping Faithful to Our Lord in an Increasingly Hostile Culture
7-part Labor Day Conference series at North Stonington Bible Church on September 3-4, 2016
Audio: http://www.bibleframework.com/lessons/keeping-faithful-hostile-culture/
------------
Using Romans 12:1-2 as the theme, this 7-part Labor Day series deals with how to avoid being “conformed to this age” by having our minds “transformed.” Paul’s warning certainly applies to Bible-believing Christians living in our increasingly hostile culture—a culture using the secular public schools, the media, and government leadership to forcefully, continually and ubiquitously mold U.S. population into suppressing God in every important area of life.
As this new series moves from creation to the conquest, I point to specific cultural agendas that by substituting fictional counter-notions seek to suppress what God shows about Himself in each event. I also cite by number the exact Power Point slide I am using so you can refer to the accompanying slide as you listen to the audio. Included in this series is the complete handout for note-taking. I hope you will feel less intimidated when you see the flimsy foundations under these fictional substitutes for Biblical revelation. May you be encouraged to see the corresponding strength of the Word of God at each point—strength you can rely upon to remain faithful to our Lord!
Law, Grace & Citizenship
The document discusses secular legal hostility toward biblical faith and homeschooling. It summarizes views that argue government should limit what religious parents teach their homeschooled children and that parental control over education comes from the state, not the other way around. The document also presents opposing views that argue people should be able to bow to their creator and that distinctions between good and evil are meant to be temporary in creation according to a Christian perspective.
Doctrine of Labor
The document discusses key concepts regarding labor from a biblical perspective, including:
- Labor creates value and reveals character like God's creative work.
- The Sabbatical principle recognizes labor as necessary but not sufficient.
- Envy results from being angry at God over perceived differences in rewards.
- Theft tries to bypass God's design linking labor and reward.
- The family is the normative unit for organizing labor.
- The ultimate goal of labor is not material wealth but life lived in God's presence.
Global Warming
This document discusses various perspectives on global warming, including scientific theories, historical climate data, and biblical views. It examines the claims of prominent scientists on both sides of the debate. Key topics analyzed include the Medieval Warm Period, temperature reconstruction methods, natural variability in climate, and Christian responses to environmental issues. The document advocates a biblical stewardship approach to nature guided by revelation.
Deut 067-slides
Man has dominion over nature through empirical knowledge that corresponds to nature's design, but scientific knowledge is limited to observable spatial and temporal domains. Special assumptions beyond observation are needed to understand the unobservable past and future. Three future events for Israel include a 900-year outworking of blessing and cursing, eventual perception of Israel's unique historic role, and national repentance.
Deut 064-slides
This document discusses the moral and spiritual principles that govern nations. It states that while these principles always apply, the consequences for violating them are often delayed. This creates a lag between actions and their effects that can obscure their connection. The document uses the example of ancient Israel, arguing that God's moral governance over it as his mediatorial kingdom was both declared at Sinai and demonstrated through immediate divine sanctions recorded in their history.
Deut 062-slides
This document provides a table listing major religious and philosophical traditions that emerged around 600 BCE, including Zoroastrianism in Persia, Jainism and Buddhism in India, Taoism and Confucianism in China, and the development of Upanishads and Vedanta monism in India. It also includes two quotes discussing early Greek philosophers' assumption that the universe is intelligible and ordered, and how Darwin's theory of evolution was seen as liberating because it replaced the idea of an arbitrary personal God.
Deut 061-slides
The document contrasts God's design for society with a society that rejects God. God's design protects life, supports strong families and productive work, and values truth and allegiance to God. A society rejecting God jeopardizes life, has weak families and wasted work, and values deceit and self-interest over truth and God.
Deut 060-slides
This document makes three main points:
1) Only the Hebrews made covenants with their gods or God according to scholar W.F. Albright.
2) Scholar Yehezkel Kaufmann notes that paganism does not have the continuous succession of prophets that were seen in Israelite history.
3) God's design for society protects life, strong families and labor, and values integrity and allegiance to God, whereas alternatives jeopardize these things and value self over God.
Deut 059-slides
The document outlines the spring and fall cycles of celebrations in ancient Israel, the fulfillments they represented, and relationships to tithing. The spring cycle included Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Pentecost. The fall cycle included Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Feast of Tabernacles. Israelites were required to give three tithes, while Ger and Nokree were exempted from some or all.
Deut 058-slides
This document discusses the importance of stable and clear rules in society for promoting prosperity and productivity. It argues that unclear or changing rules encourage people to spend more time trying to manipulate rules for their own benefit rather than engaging in productive activities. When rules are not stable or just, it puts society at risk. The document advocates for a society defined by stable, legitimate, and just rules in order to encourage entrepreneurship and productive engagement.

- 8. “ The well-being of men. . .is morally and spiritually conditioned by a principle confirmed by divinely imposed sanctions. Now this principle holds good generally in all nations in every age. But its operation has often been obscured to human eyes by the time ‘lag’ between the moral breach and the infliction of the sanction. . . .In the general history of nations, the divine penalties are inflicted through secondary causes behind the veil of providential control. . . .But in the case of the nation of Israel, the moral judgment of Jehovah was not only declared at Sinai but also was confirmed spectacularly in the recorded history of that kingdom by divine sanctions immediately imposed. And these sanctions were generally supernatural. . . .” Alva McClain, The Greatness of the Kingdom , p86
