Ziggurats were built in the city-Sumer as

1 answer:

8 0

According to Herodotus, at the top of each ziggurat was a shrine, although none of these shrines have survived. One practical function of the ziggurats was a high place on which the priests could escape rising water that annually inundated lowlands and occasionally flooded for hundreds of miles, for example the 1967 flood. Another practical function of the ziggurat was for security. Since the shrine was reachable only by way of three stairways, a small number of guards could prevent non-priests from spying on the rituals at the shrine on top of the ziggurat, such as initiation rituals such as the Eleusinian mysteries, cooking of sacrificial food and burning of carcasses of sacrificial animals. Each ziggurat was part of a temple complex that included a courtyard, storage rooms, bathrooms, and living quarters, around which a city was built

Explain how christ's person and present position qualify him to be our advocate

Greeley [361]

Answer: Jesus Christ came to dwell among men with one sole reason which is to redeem mankind from sin. He was blameless and without sin but still decided to pay the price for mankind to be redeemed. This he did by dying on the cross of Calvary. After Christs resurrection he ascended into heaven and is sitted on the right hand side of GOD ALMIGHTY interceding on our behalf. This qualifies him to be an Advocate of mankind in the presence of GOD.

Explanation:

Jesus stands as the Advocate between our repentant hearts and the law. If His blood has been applied to our lives through faith and confession of Him as Lord (Romans 10:9–10; 2 Corinthians 5:21), He pleads our case with the Righteous Judge. We may imagine the conversation going something like this: “Father, I know this one has sinned and violated our commands. He is guilty as charged. However, you have said that my sacrifice is sufficient payment for the debt he owes. My righteousness was applied to his account when he trusted in me for salvation and forgiveness. I have paid the price, so he can be pronounced ‘Not guilty.’ There is no debt left for him to pay” (Romans 8:1; Colossians 2:14).
