Recommended: The Role Of Women In The Contemporary Church

1 Timothy chapter 3 describes traits from the management term job specifications. This specific term is explained as a summary of qualifications that are necessary to successfully perform a particular job. It is essentially a simple list of things an employee must do in order to carry out a certain task or job well at that business. 1 Tim. chapter 3 verse 2 through verse 7 gives us a list of qualifications of what an overseer must not do. The next 5 verses explain what deacons in the church as well as women are not supposed to partake in as members of the early church. It is important that a person who is a potential employee to know what they will have to do to get the job so that there will be less oppourtunity for confusion if they are hired or selected.

They both show God commanding that they take care of the foreigners. Both these passages show God telling people what not to do and what to avoid as far as having good spiritual character. I think that there is a great amount of overlap between biblical law and employment law because most of the employment law that we still follow today came from the bible. It is difficult to run a successful business with selfish morals and principals because you cannot grow without learning and adapting with sacrificing. This is not too surprising to me but it has been very inspiring for me since I strive to follow God in everything that I do. Since I want to go into a career somewhere in the human resources management field, it is quite comforting to know that many of the rules and regulations that I must follow are in line with my faith and what I have learned through reading the bible. This means that I my particular line of work won’t potentially interfere with my belief in God as a

  • Paul's Letter To The Galatians Analysis

    1434 Words  | 3 Pages

    When one reads the New Testament, a contradiction appears in reading Paul and James’ teachings concerning ‘faith’ and ‘works’. There is also question about the word ‘justified’ as to its meaning. In Paul’s letter to the Galatians, Paul writes this “16 yet we know that a person is justified[a] not by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ.[b] And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by faith in Christ,[c] and not by doing the works of the law, because no one will be justified by the works of the law,” in 2:16. (NRSV) And in Galatians 3:6-7 says this, “6 Just as Abraham “believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” 7 so, you see, those who believe are the descendants of Abraham.” (NRSV) Paul also stated in Romans a similar idea, “28 For we hold that a person is justified by faith apart from works prescribed by the law,” in 3:28. In chapter 4 of Romans, Paul uses Abraham as an example from

  • The New Testament: Ephesians

    1642 Words  | 4 Pages

    Throughout many of Paul’s letters there are many debates pertaining to the authorship, destination, date, and the purpose. In the book of Ephesians many scholars debate on the authorship and if Paul actually wrote the letter, or if it was a scribe. Although there are some debates on whether Paul actually wrote it or not, he does refer to himself twice in the letter. In 1:1 and in 3:1 Paul states himself, 1:3 states, “For this reason, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles” (NIV) In verse 1:3 Paul states that he is a prisoner, therefore it is debated that he did not specifically write this because he was imprisoned in Rome at this time. According to Wallace “This, of course, is not to say that the letter must be by Paul, but it is to argue that without such internal testimony, no such claim could be made” (Wallace). Many scholars also debate on the vocabulary usage and the structure of the letter. Some believe that the structure is similar, but the vocabulary seems to be different than his New Testament epistles. Hoehner claims that,” Though the book has a close affinity with Colossians, critics claim that Ephesians is uncharacteristic of Paul” (Hoehner 613). The destination of Ephesians is somewhat debated, but many do believe that the letter was sent to the church of Ephesus. “Some to claim that Ephesus is a better starting point, others suggest Caesarea.” (Wallace) Although this is an argument that has many valid points, it is obvious that Paul was imprisoned in Rome while he wrote Ephesians. It is said by Hoehner that “Ephesians was probably delivered by Tychicus (Eph. 6:21-22), who also took Paul’s letter to Colossians (Col. 4:7-9)” (Hoehner 613). As for the date goes m...

  • Analysis Of Paul's First Letter To The Corinthians

    1573 Words  | 4 Pages

    After his conversion to Christianity, Paul traveled throughout the Roman Empire and preached the Gospel, similar to Jesus’ own ministry across Galilee. Paul’s teachings were more focused on the community and the relationships of its members with each other and with non-Christians, whereas Jesus’ teachings were geared towards the individual and his/her personal relationship to God. Despite this discrepancy in their doctrines, Paul’s teachings remain consistent with those of Jesus. In his First Letter to the Corinthians, Paul’s teachings, such as unity in the community and love for others, echo the teachings of Jesus as depicted in the Gospel of Mark and Matthew. Paul essentially reiterates the teachings of Jesus, and applies them to the lives of the people he preaches to, so that they may understand Jesus’ teachings and embrace Christianity.

  • The Holy Bible: The Threefold Law

    704 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Holy Bible is the main essence of Christianity especially the New Testament. There are many parables and lesson learned in the Gospels in the New Testament. In the bible there is a Golden Rule found in (Matthew 7:12) which is, “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” Jesus also touches on the importance of the Golden Rule throughout the bible. In Wicca there is such a Law that is very similar to the Christian Golden Rule called The Threefold Law. The Threefold Law is a cause and effect concept or whatever you do to others it will be done to you. (Dragonsong) So essentially the way an individual treats another should be reflected on how they want to be treated. For Wiccans

  • Hays Essay

    In his article “Applying the Old Testament Law Today”, J. Daniel Hays brings out many positive and negative reasons why some believers tend to ignore many Old Testament Laws and embrace others. Hays emphasize how different evangelical scholars use moral, civil and ceremonial laws to help believers know whether a particular Mosaic Law applies to them. (Hays, 22) Ironically, we were taught in church and Bible study different ways to apply Matthew 25:39, “Love your neighbor as yourself”, to our daily living. Once an individual put this into action, they will begin to understand the true meaning of giving and how to love the way Jesus directed us to in the Bible.

This type of setting can produce a resentful mentality in that of the workers, making them resent fulfilling the commands of their leaders. Nonetheless, God wants you to act as if you are primarily serving the Him, not just your manager. God wants his people to see Him as the ultimate Boss. In the Letter of Paul to the Colossians Paul says, “Slaves, give entire obedience to your earthly masters, not merely with an outward show of service, to curry favour with men, but with single-mindedness, out of reverence for ...

Much in the same way a leader should lead by actions and adhere to the same rules as all on others in the organization. Hebrews 4:11 (NIV Student Bible) reiterated that all should follow the rules, of the Lord (and also organizations).

In the grand scheme of things, we all work for the Lord serving Him in some way or another during our daily lives at home and in the office.

  • The Bible: The Holy Canon of Scripture Review

    794 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Bible: The Holy Canon of Scripture is an essay by J. Hampton Keathley, III that aims to justify the canonicity of the Bible. Keathley first defines canonicity as a word used to describe books that are recognized as inspired by God and then gives a brief history of the term. In essence, the word can be derived from Greek, Hebrew, and Akkadian words denoting a standard of straightness and was used first to describe accepted doctrines of the Church before it became widely used as a description for the list of sacred books that fit the modern definition. The article then addresses the need of a canon and justifies the canonicity of the Old and New Testaments.

  • The Three Synoptic Gospels

    The word "gospel" is a translation of the Greek word "euangelion" which means "good news. The first three books in the New Testament (Mark, Matthew, and Luke) are often referred to as the Synoptic Gospels (from Greek synoptikos, "seen together") They bear greater similarity to each other than any of the other gospels in the New Testament. Along with these similarities come some differences among the gospels, suggesting that each gospel was written for a specific audience and for a specific purpose. This paper will examine the resurrection of Jesus, while identifying the significant differences between Mark, Matthew and Luke. This paper will also analyze the differences to suggest the prominent theological perspective each gospel author might be trying to convey about the resurrection of Jesus.

    An organization provides every necessary method before making a decision to select an applicant for the job position. A company will provide pre-employment testing/screening in order to select the most qualified candidate. An organization may decide to change its company into more diverse organization and therefore, it is their right to select more diverse employees. However, it is also important not to focus on a person’s gender, age or race. It is still very important to choose an employee who is the perfect fit for the job position. This is necessary because issues may arise and these issues may also impact the organization’s future.
