Mount Morriah Case Study
According to Ron’s notes his excavation took place on the northern extension of Mount Moriah. The north side of Mount Moriah is a very Stoney and dry area; certain parts of the mountain have lowered the ground to that of a trench. This side is also referred to as Skull Mountain or Golgotha; it was at this side of the mountain that Jesus was crucified. This side of the mountain is also where Jesus was buried in the “garden tomb”. Ron believed that the escarpment of this side of the mountain was extremely long and this is where he believed the crucifixion had taken place.

Ron returned to the surface and did not tell or speak to anyone about his findings, he felt that he need time to think and allow his mind to digest what had just happened. Ron made more trips to the chamber and eventually reported his finding to the authorities. The authorities asked Ron not to repeat or to tell anyone what he had discovered and where.

God then had to find a way to secure redemption for man so that we might not perish in the pits of hell but have eternal life with Him in Heaven. God created man to have fellowship with him and once Adman and Eve sinned this was not possible. Throughout the bible the Lord teaches us from the Old Testament and fore fill it’s in the New Testament.

    The Excavation of Sutton Hoo

    Toward the western side of the burial ground they found multiple 2-4 meter ring ditches which originally help posts or beams, but none were found. In the same area, they found large amounts of burnt bone deposits. This suggests the previous presence of a pyre used for cremation. They also uncovered a series of nineteen coffin edges containing sand bodies and objects. Many of the objects buried with the bodies were weapons such as swords, spears, and shields suggesting a male, and others contained brooches and bead jewelry, suggesting a female. One grave had “a male with sword spear, shield boss and decorative shield-mounts.” (Archaeology, 1)…

    Exegesis of Genesis 22:1-19

    The book of Genesis forms part of a series of ‘historical’ books that begins with the creation story and ends with the destruction of the kingdom of Judah (6BCE.) These narrated events are in a chronological sequence (Barton 2001:38).It is the first book of the Old Testament and Pentateuch (Barton 2001:12) . Jews name these five books the Torah or ‘the law’(Holdsworth 2005:71). The passage(Gen22:1-19) reveals God’s relationship through a trial with a major character, Abraham. Key themes that are central to the Pentateuch lie within the passage; the sovereignty and grace of God; sacrifice and obedience; the establishment and reaffirming of covenants and the redeeming nature of God. What lies before and after this encounter will be considered to try to determine the ‘original’ intended meaning and to examine its relevance and application for people today.…

    Sufficiency In Shakespeare's Paradise Of Adam And Eve

    Adam had within himself all that was necessary to live, just enough, but not more that would lead him to temptation. There was no surplus for Adam in Paradise, sufficient constituted just enough to keep him alive and allow him to create more of himself. God’s idea of sufficiency for his creations stems from the ideal that they have free will to make their own choices and should be held accountable for their own actions. God gave man and angels their own independence, but the knowledge to know what He expected of them. Their sufficiency made them innocent, it was they themselves that either made themselves self-sufficient or…

    In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth. We all know the story. It’s one that we have been studying for years. God created Adam, and from him, he made Eve. Adam and Eve were pure and holy. God had made them in his image. However, Eve was tricked by the devil and eats an apple from the tree that which God had instructed was not to be eaten from.

    Geological Era Theory

    When Adam sinned and the Fall occurred, God’s original intent for man was lost. We were no longer able to dwell in his presence and be identified as his creation (p 115). It made us broken and separate from Him. Without properly understanding the Fall, there is no reason to know and understand Jesus’ coming and dying on the cross for us. He came and died a horrible death in our place because of the Fall. Knowing it helps us to understand God’s plan for redemption. In Romans 5 it talks about there being a second Adam and how he would come and save us. It took one man to separate us eternally from God, and it would take one man to save…

    The Portrayal of Women to Men in Genesis

    In the beginning of Genesis, God's first tasks to a human being occurs during the first narrative Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve have the responsibility to "be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it"(1:28). However, it is really the second narrative, explaining the details of the creation of man and woman, who then establishes God's structure of the world. In this structure, Eden is created for the first man, Adam, who has one basic obligations towards God, to work and guard Eden and to abstain from eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge . “ From every fruit of the…

    Misconceptions In John Milton's Paradise Lost

    l. 105-107). We know this is God's doing as there are no other shapes that matches ours', and we stand tall on two feet instead of four. We stand above other creature just as God stands above us. By extension, God creating us is a way He has proven that He "works in us by his will"(Slick). This is also indication that he uses us to create a new beginning in a way that He won't have to interact with us. A way that he uses others to create his image is through Jesus was born of a virgin "mother, but his sire / The power of the Most High: He shall ascend" (Book XII. l. 368-369). Using Jesus, He brought us further away from perdition, but the fact still stands that he can't fully decide our lives. There was no way that God could have prevented "Th' infernal serpent; he it was, whose guile, / Stirred up with envy and revenge"(Book I. l. 34-35). Adam and Eve's interactions with the serpent wasn't prevented by God. It happened, and we paid the price for. So in what way can we justify God's actions for allowing us to fall from grace? Many would argue that this was to allow us to build ourselves up; to prove ourselves. And yet, the serpent was still able to get into our minds. It was able to excite the senses into knowledge that…

    On The Incarnation Analysis

    “It would, of course, have been unthinkable that God should go back upon His word and that man, having transgressed, should not die; but it was equally monstrous that beings which once had shared the nature of the Word should perish and turn back again into non-existence through corruption. (Athanasius 12)” God can be seen as having a limit. This limit is established when he saw humanity at the brink of destruction. God cannot go back on his word but he also cannot allow humanity to perish because of corruption. He has to find a balance that will hold his word true and his actions right. Because human beings are his creations, he does not want them to lose the Word. He knows they were deceived. He knows the devil brought sin into the word but he also knew that original sin was not made possible without the doubt Adam and Eve had in God (Athanasius).…

    Genesis portrays a righteous world in the garden of Eden, made for man and put under his care. Despite the fact that sin and the condemnation have interrupted for some time, God's purpose cannot be defeated. All that He expected from the earliest starting point will happen. The earth will be reestablished to its unique flawlessness and after that proceed until the end of time. Sin and the condemnation will be evacuated and passing will be no more. The initial three parts of Genesis blueprint the presentation of sin into ADONAI's ideal creation, and the last three sections of Revelation layout the purging of transgression from the LORD's reclaimed…

    Judeo-Christian Worldview Essay

    The way the creation narrative is structured and tightly organized speaks to the intentionality with which Yahweh Elohim created. If God did not intend to make humans He would not have even began to create the earth. Everything Yahweh Elohim created was intended to support humanity which reveals God’s purpose from the very beginning. The Judeo-Christian view of the creation of humanity differs from the Pagan view because it embraces the idea that humanity is intentional rather than accidental or spontaneous. Not only does the Judeo-Christian God love and care for his creation, but man shares in the inner life of God. They began to share this when God breathed into Adam’s nostrils the breath of life or…

    Thematic

    First, throughout the Bible sin has been portrayed as an act punishable by death. In Romans 6:23, it clearly states “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Adultery, murder and stealing are just a few things that are considered to be sins. Breaking God’s law is considered an offense to Him and makes us subject to judgment and separation from God. An example of this comes in The Old Testament from Isaiah 59:2(KJV) stating that “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear”, basically saying He will wash His hands of us if we continue to disobey his law. Later, in The New Testament, Jesus is sent to die for our sins, even though He himself was not a sinner. This was obviously a huge sacrifice for God, as He gave up His son for us. In 1 Peter 2:24, it says “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree…” meaning He took all of our sins upon himself and died on the cross so that he could “bring us to God” (Peter 3:18 KJV). Genesis 6:5 shows us how sin was beginning to get too outrageous for God and it was breaking his heart to see all the disobedience and acts of sin throughout the land. This is when He brings Noah, an avid follower of God’s, to build an arc because He was about to bring on a huge flood. He wanted to use Noah as a storyteller of His wrath and seriousness about obeying His law. This example ties into sin being “punishable…
