This lesson explores what the afterlife means, especially the concept of Heaven and how it connects to human identity and destiny in Christian theology.

MODULE 6
It actually explores the idea of the temple as a central theme in the Bible, connecting Creation, redemption, and the future hope of believers. In the beginning, Creation itself was like a temple which is a sacred space where God’s presence dwelt with humanity. This theme continues through the Old Testament with…

MODULE 2: SESSION 11: Humans Formed from the Dust
I learnt something interesting that the emphasis of Genesis 2 when God forms the human from the dust signifies that they are from the realm of frail mortality. That means to have an eternal life there is a need of imposition of something else into the equation of human creation.…

MODULE 2: SESSION 11: Genesis 1 Imagery in Jeremiah 4
The words used to describe the pre-creation state in Genesis—tohu va-vohu—mean “wild and waste” (e.g., Jer. 4:23). Wild and waste, darkness, and the deep waters are images for the pre-creation state of non-order. Jeremiah is activating day one of Genesis but reversing it. He’s…

INTRODUCTION TO THE HEBREW BIBLE
MODULE 2: SESSION 11: The Hebrew Bible as a Mosaic

Imagine that the beauty we experience in this life like waterfalls, clear blue waters, and nature’s wonders are just glimpses of what is to come and that Human destiny is not just about living in a renewed land but about the beatific vision seeing God face to face (1 Corinthians 13:12). What a wonderful lesson.

In the topic of the Will of God the term ‘Will’ is defined as power of choice. Further, ‘to will’ means to determine or decide on something based on this power of choice. Three ‘wills’ exist in the world today: man’s will, Satan’s will and God’s will. God’s will is classified into three:

MODULE 2: SESSION 10: Literary Design in Genesis 2: 4-17
The writings in Genesis 2: 4-17 have been designed in a repetitive style linking each a every line with a verb interlinked to each other. You find a narrative starting with Human then garden then human, afterward garden or waters, human and garden, waters and finally human…

MODULE 2; session 10: The Beginning and Nothingness
According to John Walton there is an ancient Near Eastern cosmology, the “cosmic sea” which belongs to the pre-creation state, and this is a neutral, functionless state of non-organization and lifelessness.
Further, this explains about the reshit as used in the book of Genesis…
