… John is the author of this epistle, though authorship is contested by some scholars.[footnoteRef:2] The style of the epistle is similar to the Gospel of John and thus John is traditionally accepted as its author. John was said to have been the only one of the 12 … only one of the 12 Apostles to be with Jesus Christ at the crucifixion and was especially loved of Jesus[footnoteRef:3]—“the beloved disciple”[footnoteRef:4]—and his gospel depicts this love as it focuses on the loving aspect of God.[footnoteRef:5] His first epistle is also testament to this love by serving … church.[footnoteRef:8] John’s epistle is thus born out of the same spirit of love that animated his relationship with Christ and that animates his gospel.

This particular article aims to propose an additional aspect that has not been adequately considered in the interpretation of Hebrews 6:4-6 to offer new exegetical understanding into comprehending this confusing passage. More precisely, the author looks to suggest reading Hebrews 6:4-6 in light of an Old Testament matrix since according to the author, a great portion of the interpretation of this part of Hebrews arises from the failure of not appreciating its Old Testament background.

...Gospel Even though slavery was abolished with the 13th Amendment, blacks in the South were still subjected to harsh and unfair treatment throughout the latter half of the 19th century and well into the 20th century. In fact, it would be more than a century after the ratification of the 13th Amendment before the Civil Rights Act would be signed into law—and it would take a major protest led by Martin Luther King, Jr. just to achieve that. From the Mississippi Black Code of 1865 to King’s Letter from Birmingham Jail in 1963, one can see the shape of American history with respect to its race relations.
The historical significance of the Mississippi Black Code of 1865 is that it helped to institutionalize the era of Jim Crow—a time when blacks, who were supposed to be treated as free and equal, continued to be oppressed and harassed by unfair social doctrines.……

...Gospel Biblical Character Analysis
Abstract
Leadership in the New Testament is best exemplified by Christ, Who embodies various leadership styles, but especially transformative leadership and servant leadership. He also embraces authentic leadership, as He leads by example. He presents a vision of what He wants His followers to become, and He serves their interests by supporting them, giving them the courage they need, and even getting out of the way so they can become leaders.
Jesus Christ is the central leader and figure in the New Testament and thus serves as a good example of leadership. Christ faced various issues during His public life. These included: 1) being questioned by the Pharisees about His true nature; 2) resisting the temptation to submit to Satan; 3) convincing His skeptical followers that He was the Messiah by performing various miracles, such as calming the storm, walking on water, the miracles of the loaves……

...Gospel Representations of Black Culture in the Media
Introduction
Culture theory is one theory that can be used to explain domestic violence. As Serrat (2017) notes, culture is the set of “distinctive ideas, beliefs, values, and knowledge” that define the way people behave and think (p. 31). This theory suggests that the way people act is based on the inputs they receive from their environment; and peers, groups, and media all go into shaping their perception of themselves and those around them (Bandura, 2018). If the culture in which they grow up signals to them that treating people in an inhumane way is acceptable, then those individuals are likely to engage in domestic violence acts as they feel or believe that it is an acceptable mode of behavior, sanctioned by the culture in which they live. The culture of media, friends, family, schools, churches and other organizations may all play a……
