History and the Bible
It’s amazing how some historians and story tellers confirm the truth of the Bible. An example is the literary tale the epic of Gilgamesh, which confirms the story of Noah and the flood.

Cultures
We have different cultures, but God intend that we understand one another and go beyond these cultures. In Africa a young person can't greet an old man with the hand except by prostrating. However, the main virtue behind that culture is respect.

Mbi Obed Anthony Oben,
I think you have given a great response to this topic.
I appreciate that you have given an exegetical analysis of this topic looking to the culture AND the needs engaged--and you have mentioned the attitude that goes along with the action.
This is very well done and is highly informative.
I don't know that my thoughts have changed from reading your post BUT, my thoughts have been strengthened.

What foretastes of our future blessings do Christians enjoy in the modern world? Are these blessings also conditional? Provide 1 substantial response to this question and another students response.

Salvation cannot be earned, it is a gift that we enjoy. It is the foundation of our relationship with God and a stepping stone for experiences in a faith journey. We experience a different type of peace, power, and intimacy with God because of our relationship and the salvation we received through grace. There are certain parts of us that we just do not give away unless there is a relationship in place, the same with our walk with God. You definitely cannot earn grace, that's the beauty of it. God draws us in with his grace and invites us to go deeper, the more we surrender to the journey the more we discover about Him and ourselves. That's the joy and the blessings of God in this modern time, the relationship is intimate and personal--it fits our lives.
BS505 Students: The purpose of the Pentateuch was to prepare Israel for faithful service to God in the conquest and settlement of the Promised Land. How can you apply this to your present life and ministry?

Present day, the Pentateuch is about preparation. There are seasons that prepare us for seasons. There are seasons in which we have to be shaped and taught before we make it in to what God promised us. We have to be willing to be in "wilderness" type seasons for a while. Today's society is built on a microwave mindset, instant is desired and anything else causes mental breakdowns. The season is designed to build us up and develop the strength we need for the journey.

Satan always has a counterfeit, and he will always be the usurper of power and authority. The Epic of Gilgamesh, for example, shows that.
