This year I've been pegging away at Iliad, Herodotus, Intro to the Bible, and Latin. The curriculum is from Kolbe Academy and its very challenging. I have four papers due each week on different subjects. I'm learning about ancient Greece. The history is brutal, and I just finished reading about the abduction of Helen by Paris the Trojan. There is such a thing as classical high school education after all. I'm having a hard time dealing with all the assignments I have to do by the end of the week. I haven't started on my paper about the hubris of Croecus and I still have to find out what internal periods are but so far so good. I haven't been crocheting for a long time. My energy is zapped over having the most stressful summer of my 14 years. We finished all the missions, Dad got his CCB, We are living in Willamina, We don't have a library card(!)and we're 40 minutes from the coast and about twenty minutes from the Casino! II will include a paper I did for Theology in this entry. To be graded properly, it needs a strong introduction, a strong body, and strong evidence. Please comment.
What Does It Mean To Say The Bible Was Inspired?
A paper by Avid.
The Bible is an incredible book. It is the only book in the world to reveal God in the person of the Son of Man. It was written through man and not by him giving complete evidence that it was inspired through the apostles. All other books of which we know were written using the thoughts and interests of a people. The Bible relates the thought and parabels of Jesus and the prophets. Another fact is that no man can write a chronology of God. It is beyond their power to capture the mysterious ways of God in words. We know that the Holy Writ was inspired by the Holy Spirit through the apostles from reading of Pentecost. The apostles found themselves aflame with the Word of God and so were able to write down the Life of Christ in a perspective that could only come from God. And yet, we see the different styles of writing. John never mentions his name. Matthew has a great zeal put in his words and Paul writes for the peoples good. (to be continued)
