Recommended: Exegesis of Romans 12:2

I recently wrote Romans 12:1-2 out on a hot pink index card, it is hanging at eye level in my work area where I can read it every day. Transformation has been on my heart and in my head for over three years now. As a believer, I am drawn to it, I crave it, and I know God wants it in every area of my life. I also believe in the transformation process God wants us set apart which means “we are not to be conformed to this world.” We are to be different, our lives should show it by how we act, speak, and in the things, we listen to, read, or watch. People should know us by our actions.
Gardner’s eight “intelligences” are different from the Holy Spirit’s gifts. I can see where someone could confuse this comparison, however, the “intelligences” are

    Gardner’s 8 intelligences, with the 8th one just recently being added to the intelligences, stated as “nature smart’. The core of this intelligence is the ability to recognize parts of the natural world such as plants, animals, clouds and rocks. He believes that this is not an intelligence that only certain nature girls or nature boys can achieve. This is an intelligence that all humans innately have. Although is hikjacked by the need to deal with the world of man-made objects. In the first chapter of this book this theory is supported by a statement from a research project that was conducted by the author in the 1980s; the author interviewed over three thousand children and parents throughout the country in urban, suburban and rural areas. One of the comments that stuck out to him the most was from a fourth grade boy that stated, “I like to play indoors better, ‘cause that’s where all of the electrical outlets

    ...ognizing wrong perceptions; experiencing something that changes opinions permanently; and last, but not least, developing new convictions, opinions, and perceptions. These are phases that we go through as Christ Followers as well. We are called to be dynamic so that people can see Christ alive in us. In order to do that, we must allow God and Christ to change our perception to match the reality to which He has called us. He accomplishes this through His Own ways, and we must remain malleable like clay in His hands. He is the potter, and we are called to trust Him. He always makes beautiful pots that abundantly hold the Spirit! The Author has created the grandest plot in the most mind-blowing tale of all time.

These seven are: Linguistic, Mathematical, Spatial, bodily, Musical, Interpersonal, and Intrapersonal. These are found in everyone; however, each person will excel in one or two.

  • Charles Spearman's Model of Intelligence and Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory

    Charles Spearman's model of intelligence and Howard Gardner's multiple intelligence theory are two of the most widely used theories of intelligence. In order to understand how similar the two theories are we must first understand their differences. These two men differed in opinion on how IQ and intelligence should be measured, and they differed in opinion on what made a person "smart". In order to examine these things they first had to understand the human brain and how it works. They had to examine the human study habits and rituals, along with the human test taking habits.

    In reality, people are a combination of most every single one of the intelligences and certain intelligences blend into one another. For instance, there is a reason people connect with actors, they not only are they strong with their own bodily-kinetics, they also can connect with an audience showing that they have a great intrapersonal intelligence. Even though Gardner says you can have a combination of the intelligences, the problem comes at drawing the line of which intelligences are greater in a person or which intelligence is more dominant in

  • Sin, Death and Life, and Dominion in Romans 6:1-14

    1660 Words  | 4 Pages

    “What then are we to say?” entreats Paul in Romans 6:1. “Should we continue in sin in order that grace may abound?” Paul answers his own query in the section that follows, leading up to the conclusions that Christians are “under grace” (v. 14). For Paul the transition of the person from sin to grace relates to the person’s identity and belonging. Sin, in Romans 6:1-14, means less a person’s actions specifically and more the claims to which a person belongs. With sin comes death and dominion that, apart from Christ, define who persons are in themselves and in their allegiances. Christ, however, redefines the person’s status—replacing the person’s identity of death with that of new life and releasing the person from the dominion of sin. In Romans 6:1-14, Paul rejects continuing in sin on the grounds that doing so denies the proper identity and belonging that Christians have in Christ’s death and life. Moreover, Paul asserts that belonging to Christ’s life means rejecting identity with sin’s dominion.

  • Positive And Cons Of The Theory Of Intelligence

    Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligence focuses more on how numerical expressions of human intelligence are not a full and accurate depiction of people’s abilities (McFarlane, 2011). He includes and describes eight intelligences that are based on skills and abilities that are valued within different cultures. The eight intelligences include visual-spatial (e.g. sailor navigating with no navigational systems), verbal-linguistic (e.g. poets, writers, orators, and communicators), bodily-kinesthetic (e.g. dancers, athletes, surgeons, craftspeople), logical-mathematical (e.g. mathematicians and logicians), interpersonal(e.g. salespeople, teachers, clinicians, politicians, and religious leaders), musical (e.g. musicians and

    The definition of intelligence becomes even more complicated when one considers the work of Howard Gardner. Gardner claims that intelligence can not be defined with one definition because intelligence is not one thing. Gardner purports that there are eight different categories of intelligence: musical, bodily-kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, linguistic, spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. He is currently considering adding a ninth category of intelligence: existential (Carvin).

  • Metamorpho's Metamorphosis

    924 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Apostle Paul said, “be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” As a follower of Christ, how do I transform my mind? What does the process look like? Is it a one-time experience or a lifetime process? If we were honest with ourselves, most of us would agree that it’s a lifetime process. The challenge lies in how do we “transform” our minds? The Cambridge dictionary defines the “transform” as “to change completely the appearance of character of something or someone, especially so that that thing or person is improved.” The Greek word for “transform” is “metamorphoō” which comes from two words “meta” meaning “change” and “morphe” meaning “form.” Otherwise, it means “to change into another form.”

    ...d be not beneficial for the issues pertaining to the power differentials found in our society. Ringer’s focus on broken relationships being mended is what almost transitioned my thoughts from changing the system, to changing individual’s mindsets. Jesus asked that we forgive those who have trespassed against us. Through the readings from James Cone’s, God was displayed a being who was angry with the oppressor. With this mindset of mending broken relationships, it appears more closely with Jesus’ request for us to forgive others. My conclusion is now stated to not only change the system, but also change our mindsets as Romans 12:2 stated “Don 't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God 's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” (Biblegateway).
