Essay On Jonathan L. Walton

338 Words2 Pages

When Dr. Jonathan L. Walton walked on to the stage and began stating that TCU is a perfect place for him with football and Chickflia, I knew this would be a great presentation. Within the first few minutes Dr. Walton really began to open my eyes when he explained how the Bible is the power of God and the potential of life as a person of faith. To me the Bible always represented God’s teachings and God’s words and I never really looked at it as the power of God or the potential of life. When Dr. Walton expressed how the Bible, or something referred to as an ancient text, is not necessarily the final word of God, it made me stop and think what the Bible really could be interpreted as. He goes on to explain that the Bible is not seen as the last word of God because the scripture in the Bible is inspired, but not exhausted at an interpreted level, which makes more sense than the actual word of God. …show more content…

Walton explained that God may be the same, but we are not or the world as a whole is not the same. We are often faced with challenges, like technology or moral matters, that would not have mattered or even existed back when the scriptures and the Bible were created, so there was no possible way for the authors to realize what knowledge we have gained or the events that have happened, so the world has evolved and changed. With that, it means that we cannot always to the Bible and the scriptures to it’s literal level like going around and cutting peoples heads off because that’s what the ancient ancestors of Israel did because that is not right or legal today. With just those few topics/examples, I really feel as though Dr. Walton was a great speaker and really made my mind open up to new ideas and thought about the Bible and the meanings of God’s

  • What Are The Similarities Between The Rock And The National Association Of Evangelicals

    905 Words  | 4 Pages

    There are clear statements that indicate the Bible is not only God breathed, but it is a whole and true document. The Rock not only mentions the Bible being God breathed, “Holy men of God, being moved by the Holy Spirit, wrote every word of Scripture, and it is divinely and uniquely inspired, being absolutely trustworthy in all matters of faith and conduct,” but it explicitly states that because all scripture is God breathed, “all Scripture in the original manuscripts are inerrant in that it conveys exactly what God wants us to know and is complete in it’s present form.” The Nicene Creed never once discusses the Bible nor it’s inerrancy. It is interesting to see that they left this out and also committed the idea that God spoke every word of the Bible and it was written by his holy

  • Religion In Albert Raboteau's Slave Religion

    792 Words  | 4 Pages

    In Albert Raboteau’s Slave Religion, I expected to read a book dripping with rant-filled commentary. Judging the book solely on its cover, I would not normally pick up –or even read– a book that did not jump out at me from the design on the cover, and this book did not jump out. However, Raboteau’s depiction of the life of the slave did jump out at me. In elementary and high school, teachers briefly touch on the topic of slavery and its role in America, but religion is never touched on with slavery –at least my teachers never taught them together. So finally getting to learn the two side by side, it was fascinating to see how Africans created a version of their own religion of Christianity.
