Isaiah 66:12-13 (AMPC)
12 For thus says the Lord: Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, & the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream; then you will be nursed, you will be carried on her hip & trotted [lovingly bounced up & down] on her [God’s maternal] knees.
13 As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

“No greater compliment can be paid to motherhood than God comparing His great love for us with the tender, compassionate love of a godly mother toward her children.”

Jesus speaking to the church —

Rom 6:12-14 (NLT)
12-14 That means you must not give sin a vote in the way you conduct your lives.  Don’t give it the time of day.
Don’t even run little errands that are connected with that old way of life.  Throw yourselves wholeheartedly & full-time—remember, you’ve been raised from the dead!—into God’s way of doing things.  Sin can’t tell you how to live.
After all, you’re not living under that old tyranny any longer. You’re living in the freedom of God.

“Jesus was not a powerless victim.

He embraced death to accomplish our redemption & rose from the dead in power & majesty!

What does it mean to be passionate?
Webster’s Dictionary defines passion as “extreme, compelling emotion or intense emotional drive.”

The passion of Christ originated in love, was directed by the purpose of God & was lived in dependence on the presence of God.

Jesus declared that every word that he said was given to him by the Father who commanded him what to say & how to say it (John 12:49).

In order for this to happen, Jesus lived every moment in the presence of the Father.
Every thought, word & action of Jesus was given to him by the Father (John 14:31).

The crowds refused to see Jesus as he truly was, placing their personal desires on him instead.

Who is Jesus for you? Is he someone whom you want to satisfy your selfish wants & goals, or is he Lord and Master who gave up his life to save you from your sins?”

Luke 24:5 (NLT)
“5 The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?

Rev 1:18 (MSG)
“I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.”

Keith’s Overview of his class:

The Bible is the most recognized & least understood interpretations of ancient texts. In this class we will look to understand the Bible & the people & texts that help form it.

This is a Bible study but it will be studied from the position of a systemitician. In other words, it will be studied from the view of the world it was created in. We will look at some of the texts that contributed to it & seek to understand what makes it the Word of God.

After the last class is discussed, we will have a midrash to discuss the class & what people learned or wished they learned.
—————————————————–
The word canon is used to describe those books recognized as inspired of God.

Therefore, the Bible is God’s special revelation to man.

However, that leads to the questions,

• “What books are inspired and should be recognized as a part of God’s revelation considering there were many other religious books written during the Old and New Testament periods? Why were those books not included?”

• “Are any inspired books missing?”

• “Are there any books that should not be included?”
Keith will talk about apocrypha & pseudepigrapha writings.
Apocrypha — biblical or related writings not forming part of the accepted canon of Scripture.

The pseudepigraphical books were written anywhere from 200 BC to AD 300. They are counterfeit or unauthentic works written by unknown authors.

Some of the reasons these books were rejected – 1) they were written under false names, 2) contained historical errors or anachronism. Some of these books would be: The Books of Enoch, the Book of Noah, The Testament of Adam, Testament of Job, the Epistles of Barnabas, etc. They are not inspired by God. Therefore, these books are not part of the canon of Scriptures.
