Why is it important to emphasize that the Bible is one book rather than merely a collection of books

Social Studies
1 answer:
Dovator [93]3 years ago
5 0

First, the Bible shows us God's character and provides us God's revelation of himself to his people. ... Third, regularly reading God's word reorients our thinking so that we can grow in maturity, which is part of the Christian calling (Ephesians 4:14–16; Romans 12:1–2). Although we popularly consider it a unique book, it is really a small collection of books, each with its own literary genres and subgenres, peculiarities, and writing styles. ... “The Bible is written by inspired men, but it is not God's form of thought and expression. It is the form of humanity.

The Bible is not just one book, but an entire library, with stories, songs, poetry, letters and history, as well as literature that might more obviously qualify as 'religious'. ... The New Testament books were written by Christians in the first century AD.

Help me plzz I need help with this !!
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Muhammad (creator of the islamic religion) had gained a substantial number of converts in Mecca, leading the city’s authorities, who had a vested interest in preserving the city’s pagan religion, to plan his assassination. Muhammad fled to Medina, a city some 200 miles north of Mecca, where he was given a position of considerable political power. At Medina, he built a model theocratic state and administered a rapidly growing empire. When Muhammad finally returned to Mecca he was a conqueror. During the next two and a half years, numerous disparate Arab tribes converted to his religion. By his death on June 8, 632 AD, he was the effective ruler of all southern Arabia, and his missionaries, or legates, were active in the Eastern Empire, Persia and Ethiopia.

How have right- to- work laws affected union membership
lakkis [162]
Under right to work, no employee can be required to pay fees to the union. Once provided with an out, many workers naturally choose to stop supporting it. Some may have never liked the union or its politics. But others may opt out simply due to economic self-interest: It makes little sense to pay the union for a service that it’s obligated to provide you anyway.

Conservatives like to say right-to-work legislation promotes individual freedom. Unions like to say it advances individual free-riding, since workers can enjoy the benefits of the union’s bargaining without helping to underwrite it.

How has military service changed geographically since 1973? Why?
Serggg [28]

Southern states have begun to contribute more and more since the time especially Texas.

Explanation:

It is seen in the trend that there are more southern people who have a culture of joining the army than any other and it is specially true for Texas.

One other state Colorado and a few other states that have actually begun to contribute more  are on the west coast with the east coast contributing the least to the army and there being a lack of actual need to get in and get drafted.

This has come to be due to the increase in the Conservationism of the people in south and the disillusion of the urban with the army.
