Functionalism In Atonement

Glaser speaks of the annihilation of entire groups of Messianic Jews during the Holocaust, even making the proclamation that “An entire generation of Messianic Jews was, in fact, wiped out in the concentration camps” (Kindle, loc 2600). In spite of the horror of this statement, a few paragraphs later he mentions that the anti-Semitic state of Europe actually resulted in many Jewish people turning to Yeshua. While this is encouraging, it does not erase the atrocities of the historic record. Glaser addresses the success experienced in the first fifty years of the twentieth century in Jewish evangelism, noting that denominational acceptance of the Jewish people at the local church level. Jewish evangelists proved to be more effective in being sensitive to the needs of the Jewish people.

By viewing the author’s beliefs on forgiveness by works, her persuasiveness in making her case, and the values expressed by various characters in the book, the idea that atonement by works for sin heals the spirit, can be

The book of Revelation primarily concerns the Second Coming of Christ and the last days. His Second Coming will be as judge of the world, unlike His first coming when He came to die for man's sin. Several hundred years before the Lord came to earth to die on the cross,

Mosaic authorship is reinforced by scattered references to writing in Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Only God and Moses write in the Pentateuch. God writes laws (Exod. 24:12), the architectural plans for the tabernacle (Ex. 31:18), names of the elect in a special book (Ex. 32:32), and the tablets containing the ten commandments (Ex. 34:1; Deut. 4:13; 5:22; 9:10; 10:2-4). Moses writes four distinct genres of literature: prophecy about holy war (Ex. 17:14), laws (Ex. 24:4, 34:27-28; Deut.

Although, the Israelites laws were established by the Commandments. Also,

In the earlier times the Israelites lived in Egypt and were explained to be a fruitful and multiplied people. Under the law of Egypt’s king, the Israelites had permission to live in Egypt and work the land. However, the King felt as if the Isralites were a threat to his reign because there were so many of them, so he dicided to deal with them “shrewdly” (Exod. 1:10). Therefore Pharaoh assigned them degrading work in harmful envirnments and began to control their population growth. The Egyptian masters worked the Israelites ruthlessly (exod. 1:13,14) and made them slaves.

Another thing we can learn from God and Moses relationship is obedience. Moses obeyed God in everything that God told him to fulfill. When God told Moses to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt, Moses did not stop until he led the Hebrews out of Egypt.

One of the most well-known prophets of the Bible, Elijah represented God in a bold manner. He appeared in the later chapters of 1 Kings and the opening few chapters of 2 Kings. God sent Elijah during this time to warn Israel to repent from idolatry. Through his various miracles, this courageous prophet also showed who the real God was. Elijah’s acts and non-hesitant ways are a great example to God’s people today.

THE TABERNACLE The Israelites stayed at Mt. Sinai for more than a year. During this time, they were occupied chiefly in learning the many details of the law which they were to follow. One of the most important developments that took place was the building of the Tabernacle, the chief purpose of which was to represent God as dwelling in the midst of his people, and it is a type and shadow of Jesus Christ, who was to come.

Is it fair that all of Robbie’s hopes and dreams were confiscated because of a 13 year old girl accusing him of a crime that was never proven to be true? In the book Atonement by Ian McEwan Briony is an adolescent in the beginning and does not understand the changes of adulthood. When her cousin Lola comes to her and confesses she has been raped she assumes it was Robbie because of a sexual contented letter she finds that he wrote to her sister. As a result his life changes drastically and every goal he has in life is wiped away. We later come to find he was not the one who committed the crime.

The Pharisees, Sadducees, and Herodians were the principal political/religious groups who held authority and power over the Jews during the time of Jesus. Jesus repeatedly warned His disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and of the Herodians. In using the word “leaven”, Jesus is essentially warning His disciples to beware of the corrupted teachings and doctrines of these leadership groups. Despite the teachings and doctrines of the Pharisees and Sadducees being quite different, and the Herodians being more of a political party, these leadership groups were all united in opposing the claims of Jesus. This essay intends to expound upon what exactly the teachings and doctrines of these groups were.

Christianity explains salvation as redemption by God’s grace through faith from unrighteousness and sins to Cleanliness, also known as Salvation. The Bible explores salvation in different perspectives including reconciliation, redemption, ransom, forgiveness, and justification. Even though the Bible is a unitary book, the new and the old testaments present salvation in different aspects. However, the different aspects are complementary. In fact, the Old Testament presents many prophesies about salvation that was fulfilled in the New Testament (Kärkkäinen 87).

Both Old Testament writers and even Jesus in the New Testament refer to the Torah as the Law of Moses. However, Gary Schnittjer does an excellent job broadening the understanding and purpose of the Torah by going back to the original meaning of the word. He says, “Tôrâ is better understood as ‘instruction’ or ‘teaching’” (Schnittjer 526). This opens up the purpose of the Pentateuch to be more than a list of rules and regulations, as I once believed it to be, and to become God’s instructions to teach humanity (and me) how to have relationship with God.

This is what is termed as revelation and special revelation is describing in the past through his words and actions. God objective in this is to express his Love and
