Showing results for "clark" in Bibles & Bible Study

Welborn begins by showing how, paradoxically, language around the concept of democracy is largely absent from political thinkers in the first century. By contrast, we learn that Paul's Corinthian correspondence is full of vocabulary associated with democracy, not only the term we know as "Church" (ekkesia) or "people's assembly", which the Christ-group adopted as a self-designation, but other terms with a democratic history and resonance such as eleutheria ("freedom"), paressia ("freedom of speech"), koinonia ("partnership"), isotes ("equality").

Can you trust today's Bibles? If God is perfect, does His Word need to be fixed? Do multiple versions accurately "correct" Scripture? Which one should you choose? Are some good; are some bad? Are you confused about which Bible translation is purely God's Word? If you are asking these questions, or desire to increase your understanding of today's Bibles, this audiobook is for you! Our Creator's eternal plan of redemption was written to transcend all generations. Do His actual Words exist now, or are they lost forever to imperfect translations?

There is a familiar passage of scripture, Matthew 10:16, that is greatly misunderstood. Jesus is sending the apostles out on their first evangelistic mission and he tells them, “I am sending you out as sheep among wolves.” A major part of the misunderstanding comes from the fact that these were grown men, despite referring to them as lambs. Jesus wasn’t sending out lambs, he was sending out rams (adult male sheep), and rams aren’t weak or passive.

The world today is unlike anything we have ever known. Let this book open your eyes to some of the possibilities.
