All for God’s Kingdom. The Limitations and Proper Usage of Rhetorical Criticism. In preparation for what I hope to be a continuing series of posts (much as my friend Michael Halcomb. Has done with the Gospel of Mark) on my most studied book of the Bible, Romans, I am going to be doing a few preliminary posts on some issues that I feel need some addressing separately. Here goes for only my second real research paper ever in the field of Biblical Studies. View this document on Scribd. February 1, 2010.

All for God’s Kingdom. Guess who’s back, Jack (or Jill, to be gender inclusive). After a 9 1/2 month hiatus from blogging, I feel like it is an appropriate time for me to jump back into blogging on Bible, theology, and the various other topics I addressed on this blog. While I had another blog that I updated every now and then in the interim, I largely desisted from blogging for reasons other than lack of motivation. Anyways, there are many ideas stirring in my head. December 26, 2010. Papperhater on ...

All for God’s Kingdom. Why I do not like to go to church (Part 3). Lack of meaningful fellowship. One of the major metaphors in Paul’s language to describe the church is the “body of Christ.” He envisions an organic teamwork that fuses together to act as the incarnated Christ in the world since Jesus had ascended. However, in order to do that, there must be a deep sense of fellowship within the confines of the assembly of Christians. However, the problem goes a bit deeper. Frequently on Sunday mornin...

All for God’s Kingdom. The Macrostructure of Paul’s epistle to the Romans. Given that, I think that Paul’s argues in reverse ordering, arguing about God’s wrath, then God’s righteousness, and then God’s power in the Gospel. The breakdown is as follows:. Romans 1:19-3:20 – The Wrath of God. Romans 3:21-5:21 – The Righteousness of God. Romans 6:1-8:39 – The Power of God. In chapters 7 and 8 is about Torah. Romans 9 – God’s wrath in relationship to Israel. With having that flow of thought and focus in mind,...

All for God’s Kingdom. Reason for the high costs of health care. With the recent media attention on the costs of medical care and reforming of the health care system, I figured it would be a good idea to try to articulate some of the different factors in the US health care system that is causing the rise in health care costs. 1) Desire for profit. 8211; I am purposefully avoiding using a term such as greed, which has no real agreed upon qualifications (Is any profit greed?
