This article proposes a constructive alternative grounded in the inner life of the Trinity and the relational constitution of humanity as imago Dei. Drawing on Genesis 1:26-28, the two great commandments, the Golden Rule, and the Trinitarian theology of social unity, it argues that ethics is not primarily a system of rules applied to isolated individuals but the outward expression of a relational ontology originating in the perichoretic life of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

This document summarizes a linguistic and hermeneutical study of the Greek word γενεά [genea] during the Koine period (roughly 300 BC–4th century AD) with a focus of thee specific phrase ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη (this generation). It focuses on its 1st-century AD meaning and implications for interpreting key New Testament passages, especially Matthew 24:34 (“this generation will not pass away…”).

This paper attempts to answer the “why” question of Israel’s failure by viewing it through the lens of trauma. It asserts that they experienced numerous life-threatening traumas which impacted their responsiveness to God and that the three elements of God’s presence, God’s Law and God’s Tabernacle may have been intended to function as means of addressing their traumas with healing and recovery.

The exodus story is layered with many external influences: In this section I would like to touch on three such possible influences: Egyptian polytheism (Spiritual), political slavery and psychological stress (trauma).

In the previous section I asserted that the failure of the first generation of Israelites in the wilderness may find explanation in their multiple experiential traumas. In this section I would like to argue that God provided three solutions to bring healing and recovery for these traumas and that these solutions can be found in God’s presence, God’s Law and God’s Tabernacle.

This study examines Paul's theology of spiritual empowerment across three letters in which he discusses the topic in depth: 1 Corinthians 12-14, Romans 12:3-8, and Ephesians 4:7-16.

This document examines Matthew 24:34 —“Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened”— a verse frequently cited as evidence that Jesus made a failed prediction about the end of the world.

Problem statement A recent conversation with a Christian friend raised an interesting Bible question. He is writing his Ph.D. thesis on the topic of “discipleship” and has poured over many books on the subject and passages of scripture and noted that although the word disciple/s appears hundreds of times in the New Testament, it disappears from use after Acts 21:16. The apostles Paul, Peter, James, Jude and John never address anyone by this term in the letters to local church

In this brief study I would contend that John 14:6 is not just a verse about how to “get to heaven” but part of a bigger picture that Jesus is trying to get across to His disciples before He goes to the cross.

Two encounters Jesus had during his ministry show us how he viewed and used the Old Testament scriptures.
