The Importance Of The Bible In The Bible

What are words? A simple question such as this would in theory demand only a simple answer. Words, however, take such an abundance of forms that creating a truly inclusive definition for the notion of “words” is daunting. In its physical manifestation, a word is little more than air passing over taut tendons, forming sounds which are accented by flicks of the tongue against the teeth and roof of the mouth. These sounds are arranged in patterns that come to be recognized and accepted as words. But are these sounds all that words represent?—certainly not. Words command power. Although the defiant playground motto states that “sticks and stones may break bones, but words can never hurt,”

In the real world people don't see words as a weapon. Instead we see it as something that is crucial for us to function in society. People don't look at the big picture and see how words really are something that can be dangerous. Zusak writes, “Blood leaked from her nose and licked at her lips. Her eyes had blackened. Cuts had opened up and a series of wounds were rising to the surface of her skin. All from words. Liesel's words” (Zusak, 253). Words are everything to humans. It doesn't matter where you are in the world, words allow you to break down that barrier that's holding you back from connecting to others. Words change lives both positively and negatively. liesel expresses, "I have hated words and i have loved them, and i hope i have made them right” (Zusak, 528). When Liesel wrote this she understood how powerful words were. She knew that a single word can impact many many people. Most people don't think about what they are going to say before they say it. it comes naturally they say what they think. picture this, what if we were able to use words to our advantage like liesel? We can we just have to think. Words are everything, they are most certainly not things that wander out of people’s mouths and have no

-While talking about the Christians and how the gods fight their own battles, on man states, "When a man blasphemes, what do we do? Do we go and stop his mouth? No. We put our fingers into our ears to stop us hearing. This is a wise action." Okonkwo chimes in and states, "If a man comes into my hut, what do I do? Do I shut my eyes? No. I take a stick and break his head. That is what a man does" (158). Okonkwo wants to silence anyone who talks nonsense or disagrees in his actions. Society says that if a person hears or sees something irritating, then he or she should tune it out. Okonkwo displays that silence can be used as a weapon of offense and defense.

Phrases we use on a daily basis with no intent to harm anyone can be turned against us thus making speaking with each other

Scripture opens with a witness to the act of God in creation. This fact points to us that understanding the world as the creation of the infinite-personal God is a fundamental starting point in constructing any kind of adequate theology. What is also clear is that it is important to get this understanding right, to the extent that we can do so. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen 1:1 HCSB) (Akin, Theology of the church). But with the revelation of the speaking God who has told us what he has done should make us want to please him each and every day and to show him we love him to.

As a person throughly studies the Words of God found in the Bible, one would find that there are many topics and doctrines contained within. One of the major doctrines or teachings found in Scripture is prophecy. Around 28 percent of the Bible is classified as prophecy. The men who wrote these prophecies did not write based off what they thought would happen. Neither did they write them after the events that were predicted took place as some critics of the Bible would claim. These men were inspired by an omnipotent, omniscient God Who knew the events that would take place in the world. After all, “Prophecy is written foreknowledge of the omniscience of our omnipotent God”

. “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me” is a saying that has been around many elementary schools, maybe some middle schools. That saying is 100% percent totally not true. As much as we pretend that words do not hurt us, well they actually do and sometimes cause a lot of damage to another person, maybe even permanent damage. Words can hurt you more than being physically hurt. If you say the right thing, you can make that person end up committing suicide or doing something else crazy like attempting to kill you or random people who didn’t deserve it. When people are bullied, it is mainly by words, when a fight breaks out at school, it was probably from words. The school shootings that have been happening lately,

In the Book Thief by: Markus Zusak, the quote: “power of words or languages to heal & destroy” is very important because of the part that words played in how the characters in the book felt when they were spoken. Some words were to dehumanize a people, to take away all hope of a the a freedom that they once knew, and also words were used to give hope in a time that seemed hopeless. The leaders and soldiers used their words to excite fear in the hearts of those that they were terrorizing. Liesel used her words to give comfort in otherwise stressful environment filled with fear and death. This is an accurate depiction of how words can heal and destroy depending on the context in which they are used.

Sara was at a coffee shop with a friend, Joanna, and started have a discussion. They start to talk about different things happening in the world and how they view them. They talked about how the world begin, how to treat people, and much more. This conversation went on for a while and Sara was using the Bible to back-up what she was saying, while Joanna had nothing to support what she believed in. Sara had a biblical worldview.

    “A thousand times in history a baby has become a king but only once in history did a king become a baby.” The Bible and other written documentation was written by man, so people think it’s flawed and not the word of God. They’re not able to walk by faith and not by sight. This means that if they don’t see Jesus and the miracles that He performed, they don’t believe all the “stories” in the Bible happened in real life. People who believe in the Bible, walk by faith, meaning that they trust in God. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born of a virgin, died and was resurrected for the sake of all humanity.

Matthew 15:11 tells us that, “it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.”

Elkton Hills was because I was surrounded by phonies. That 's all”(Salinger 13). Although, Holden says people are just “phonies” this has an important meaning towards his personality by identifying him as a person that choices to be different. He does this by often lying to himself and others. For instance, Holden demonstrates, “I felt like praying or something, when I was in bed, but I couldn 't do it. I can’t always pray when I feel like it. In the first place, I’m sort of an atheist. I like Jesus and all, but I don’t care too much for the most of the other stuff in the Bible” (Salinger 99). According to Freud’s psychoanalytic theory he argues, “personality consist of three mental entities called id, ego, and superego” (Nevid 470).

Sometimes, words will not justify in conflicts. In conflicts, words might not get people's point cross. Word are twigs, they will not do any good. If a person is explaining something and the other person is not listening, a slap might

The Bible says in Proverbs 17:10 Rebuke is more effective for a wise man Than a hundred blows on a fool. It also says in Ezekiel 33:6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand.'

Words can kill: it certainly is an odd concept to think of. Metaphorically, it could be referring to many things—and its implications could range from outright ordering an execution to, perhaps, the intonation of a phrase mentioned in passing. But this is the reality of Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain—a world where the very words people speak can cause disease. The metaphorical and physical implications of the phrase “words can kill” was explored by a delivered towards the end of the first act by the game’s main villain, Skull Face. My adaptation was creating this monologue in a text format.
