...The Book Of Matthews Terrell Campbell Theology 210 Professor Lombardo April 29, 2015 The gospel according to Matthew is one of the four canonical gospels, one of the three synoptic gospels, and the first book of the New Testament. The book of Matthew basically tells how the Messiah, Jesus Christ, rejected by Israel, finally sends the disciples to preach his gospel to the world. It does not so much indicate a literary genre but characterizes the contents of the book: good news about Jesus Christ. The book of Matthew may be considered a Midrash theological interpretation on the gospel of Mark. Matthew, whose name means “gift of the Lord,” was a tax collector who left his work to follow Jesus (Matthew 9:9–13). In Mark and Luke he is called by his other name, Levi. Although the author did not record his name within the text itself, the first book found in the New Testament has historically been credited to the writing of Matthew, a tax collector and one of the twelve disciples of Jesus. Some New Testament scholars doubt the authorship of Matthew. The Gospel of Matthew, like all the other New Testament gospels, was originally anonymous and only attributed to Matthew, the disciple of Jesus, later in the second century. The author relied on Mark's Gospel for everything he knew about the life and mission of Jesus. There are two lines of evidence that proves the authorship of Matthew, the superscription of the ancient manuscripts and the patristic witness. According to...

...Exodus, the second book of the bible, contains the flight of the children of Israel out of Egypt. The word exodus comes from the Greek word “exodos”, which signifies a mass departure of people. The book of Exodus reveals the truth that we are to trust God, no matter how deep the valley is, nor how difficult the hardships we go through are. God wants us to trust him to aid us in any situation because he has the power to save us from any evil upon us. The exodus of God’s chosen people began when there was a new dominion over Egypt. The Israelites were subjected to slavery by Pharaoh, all because he was threatened by the great multitude of Jacob’s descendants. Pharaoh went as far as to proclaim that all Hebrew adolescents must be executed at birth...

There one thing about this bomb fire is that there is communication, but German people don't have the freedom of speech. In the power of the destruction era, what cause so much hatred over books in Germany? Germany believes that there were topics that Germans felt were Un-German. Everyone states for their own opinion and everyone has a religion and us as people should accept it. Since Hitler came in charge, his administration decided to burn the book that was un-German in school and university and libraries. Books aren't the problem the problem is that a culture that is hungry for power decided to make a law and then have each...

...someone that you cannot read a certain book, you would ultimately want to read the book in spite of the person who had told you that you could not. However, what if you had no idea someone was preventing you from reading a certain book, and because of them you would never be exposed to the ideas that are presented in this book? This idea is not something that people consider as they go through the syllabus for their English class, or browse through their local library. Students, and residents of a town simply take what is presented in front of them instead of acknowledging that some books are likely missing. Lauren Myracle, an author who had a book that was facing removal has a really interesting viewpoint,...

...Thesis: to inform you about the Apostle Paul’s first missionary journey using the Book of Acts. The first missionary trip of Paul was written about in Acts 13:4-14:28. The story started Paul (or Saul) and Barnabas were sent by the Holy Spirit to the seaport of Seleucia and then they sailed to the island of Cyprus. When they arrived in the town of Salamis, they went and preached in all of the Synagogues with John Mark as their assistant. They continued across the island, preaching, until they finally reached the town called Paphos. While they were there, they met a Jewish sorcerer who was actually a false prophet who called himself Bar-Jesus (which is a combo of Barnabas and of course, Jesus). Bar-Jesus attached himself to the Governor, whose name was Sergius Paulus and he was an intelligent man. He invited Paul and Barnabas to visit him, because he wanted to hear God’s Word.

...The book of Exodus is a book of the early days of the nation of Israel. The book begins by describing the events that resulted in their slavery and oppression. God then enacts His plan to deliver His people out of Egypt. The children of Israel were not a people that were easily willing to change, so God had to prepare them. Even though they were in slavery, God had to prepare their hearts to leave Egypt. Only after that could their journey begin to the land that God had promised to them. However, after leaving Egypt, they were not an entirely spiritually mature people. God had to prepare their hearts for the Promised Land. Although it was time for them to leave the sin and oppression of Egypt, they needed to be grown and educated spiritually. God needed to work in their lives through the experiences in the wilderness to prepare their hearts for the conquering of the Promised Land. Through several, yet different, major experiences, God began to work in the hearts and minds of His people, in order to further their spiritual education. The first major event that God led the...

...Do you think reading is fun? To be honest I don’t. People say that books are way better than the movie but in opinion I like movies better. I recommend you to not waste your time to read a book for three days instead of a movie which take nearly two hours to watch. I think the Watsons movie is better than the book for many reasons. First off a movie show you what it’s really like rather that to have to paint a picture. It shows a vivid image and how it should look like in the book. Also, you can see and understand how the characters are like. You see how they talk and visually see the scenery and how the family is going on with their lives with the places around them. Another reason is a movie takes less time. You won’t have to waste three...

...Intervening variable used in the book are classified into independent and dependent variables. Independent variables are those manipulated by the experimenter. For ex- ample, not allowing rats to have any water for several hours would create an independent variable called hours of deprivation. Dependent variables are those observed by the ex- perimenter. For example, one could observe how much water a rat drinks. Science tries to explain the world by relating independent and dependent vari- ables. Intervening variables are abstract concepts that link independent variables to dependent variables. The principle of parsimony, maintains that researchers should apply the simplest explanation possible to any set of observations. For instance, psychologists try to explain results by using well-accepted theories instead of elaborate new hypotheses. Parsimony prevents psychologists from inventing and pursuing outlandish theories. In the book on page 15 figure 1.3 it shows a direct and an indirect way to relate an independent variable, hours of deprivation, to a dependent variable, rate of bar pressing. The dependent variable is obtained by placing a rat into a small chamber where it can press a bar to obtain drinking water. The experimenter observes the rate (how many presses per minute) at which the rat presses the bar to get water. The direct relationship uses only one arrow to link hours of deprivation to rate of bar pressing. After doing the experiment...

There are particular areas in which really must be focus during the stages of the research process these stages are: Clarifying the research question, Proposing research, designing the research project, collecting data and preparation, Data analysis and interpretation, Reporting the results. All of these must be involve during the research process, with out these there can’ be a exact or in other words accurate results for the research that is being done, otherwise the results of the research can be misleading to false result.
