11 the STORY Building a Nation THE STORY: Building A Nation (Exodus 20:1-6) Introduction A) It seems that in the later half of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy that God became obsessed with rules. Starting with the provision of the Ten Commandments, these four books are full of apparently, divinely given do’s-and- don’ts. Some of these rules make sense to us and some make you want to scratch your head. B) God provided guidance concerning wearing polyester, eating shellfish, avoidance of pork, no-work Saturdays, and even a prohibition against human branding, cutting, and tattoos. C) Commonly, an antagonist will criticize a modern-day Christian as hypocritical because we don’t stone adulterous people or cut the hand off of a male who inappropriately touches another male. They accuse us of cherry-picking the rules we want to follow and ignoring the others. D) Contextualize this sermon in the series – The Story of God’s Unrelenting Love. E) Contextualize the text of this sermon - Exodus 20 G) Today, my goal is 1) to help you understand those legalistic books of the Bible, 2) help you understand what OT laws/rule apply to us today, and 3) to help you see Jesus through the entire process. H) All of the Old Testament laws, rules and regulations can be broken down into three categories – moral law, ceremonial law, and civil law Each category of laws had different purposes and must be understood in context. I. The Moral Law (Exodus 20) A) Spectacularly given B) Divinely inspired C) Impossible to keep (The purpose of the Ten Commandments was to demonstrate the moral behavior that was necessary to please God. However, they were impossible to keep and only exposed the sinfulness of God’s people. 1) No other Gods (20:1-3) I’ve never put anything before God in my life. He has been preeminent in my thoughts and actions. 2) No Idols (20:4-6) This about reshaping God about our liking. Do you believe everything the Bible says about God without ever wishing He was different? 3) Misuse God’s Name (20:7) More that including God’s name in a curse word, it is living up to the family name. Have you always and completely live in such a way that Gods name is honored? 4) Remember the Sabbath (20:8) Giving God fully what belongs to him. Can you say you have consisting given God what is due to him including giving him one day a week specifically for the purpose of worshipping with others. 5) Honor Father and Mother (20:12) Relates to how you honor authority in your life. I consistently obeyed all authority in my life. I consistently honored and obey my parents, always giving them honor due them. 6) Do not murder (20:13) (Mt. 5:21) 7) Do not commit authority (20:14) (Mt. 5:27) 8) Do not steal (20:15) Never taken anything was not yours whether by accident or on purpose. 9) Do not lie (20:16) (Mt. 5:33) Exaggerated, embellished, lied, or broken a promise. 10) Do not covet (20:17) I have never been jealous of what someone else has, accomplished, or possessed. I’ve never resented other people’s success, looks, etc. I have always rejoice in others success. NOTE: Your sin is more sinful than you think. II. The Civil Law (Exodus 21:1) Exodus 21:18-19 – “When men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone or his fist, and the injured man does not die but is confined to bed, 19) if he can later get up and walk around outside leaning on his staff, then the one who struck him will be exempt from punishment. Nevertheless, he must pay for his lost work time[h] and provide for his complete recovery. Exodus 22:1 - “When a man steals an ox or a sheep and butchers it or sells it, he must repay five cattle for the ox or four sheep for the sheep. 2) If a thief is caught in the act of breaking in, and he is beaten to death, no one is guilty of bloodshed. 3) But if this happens after sunrise, there is guilt of bloodshed. A thief must make full restitution. If he is unable, he is to be sold because of his theft. Lev. 20:10 - If a man commits adultery with a married woman—if he commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death. Numbers 15:32 - Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. 34 They put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him. 35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So, as the Lord commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died. NOTE: These laws were for the nation-state of Israel. They were the rule of law set in the context of their culture. There was no King, no President, no Justice Department, and no Attorney General. They lived within the context of clans and families. NOTE: Because these civil laws were given specifically to the nation-state of Israel, they do not apply to us. We have our own civil laws. We have our own code of conduct. NOTE: However, many lasting principles can be derived from these civil laws. III. Ceremonial Law (Leviticus 16) (The ceremonial law consisted of festivals, feasts, offerings, and sacrifices and pointed directly toward Jesus. Once Jesus fulfilled the ceremonial law, there is no need for them to be practiced.) A) Festivals like Passover and Festival of Booths were designed to draw the people together and remind them of the common origin, past experiences, and provisions of God. B) Feasts were celebratory in nature. C) Offerings were usually involved something besides animal like first-fruit offerings D) Sacrifices were the offering of animals as an act of worship such as a burnt offering NOTE: The highest religious day was The Day of Atonement. a) Priest was segregated extended period of time, bathed extensively, and dressed in never before worn white linen. b) He offered a sacrifice for himself. C) Repeated the extensive bathing and fresh linen garment. D) He offered a sacrifice for the people. E) Repeated the extensive bathing and fresh linen garment. F) He offered a sacrifice for the people. G) Scapegoat (16:10, 21-22) Matthew 5:17 - “Don’t assume that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Anthropology - Dissertations by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines daily life and social service practices in a secular homeless shelter for women in Tamil Nadu, south India. The residents of the shelter have diverse backgrounds but local staff members and volunteers describe them collectively as “women with no one”: unwed mothers, orphans, widows, women abandoned or abused by husbands and lovers, former sex workers, prisoners’ wives, and women deemed mentally or physically unfit for marriage. Daily negotiations of belonging take place among this transient and diverse group of marginalized women and equally diverse and transnational care providers. The closed shelter campus provides an opportunity to query the everyday experience of secularism and pluralism. Shelter board members emphasize these concepts as guiding principles of the institution. Indeed, they are touted in many settings as a necessary and laudable framework for democratic life in globalized and increasingly diverse populations.

Even though four witnesses testified that Habbesen had stolen the sheet from a closed bed in the inn, the alleged thief did not remember anything regarding this event. The reason for this, according to Habbesen, was that he had been drunk on the night of the crime. Habbesen was given until the late afternoon of that day to confess or, “if he stayed stubborn”, he was to be tortured for a confession.1 On November 22, the lawsuit continued. By now the prosecutor had found six witnesses attesting that Habbesen had stolen the linen. The defendant, however, maintained his previous statement. Only after going through torture, Habbesen confessed to have stolen the sheet from the inn. On top of that he also confessed to have eaten a piece of bacon that was stolen from Old Jan the previous year. Jan Habbesen seemed to have lived an unremarkable life. The first time he appears in the sources was two years prior to this lawsuit, when he pledged allegiance to New Netherland and the Dutch West India Company with eight other Englishmen, living in and around New Amsterdam.

  • Are Older Males in Prison Satisfied with Their Quality of Life and Wellbeing
    Understanding Older Male Prisoners’ Satisfaction with Quality of Life and Wellbeing Claire de Motte A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Nottingham Trent University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2015 Preface The researcher and participants share the common bonds of humanity. Prisoners are not numbers. They are living, breathing people with personalities, characteristics, likes, and dislikes. In the current penal climate, as more and more people are locked up all the time, this simple observation is all too often forgotten (Bosworth et al. 2005, p. 251) 2 Statement of Research Outputs The methodology from the programme of work presented in this thesis has been published as: De Motte, C. 2014. A Mixed-Methods Approach to Explore the Quality of Life and Experience of Older Male Prisoners in HMPS. Sage Research Methods Case, DOI: 10.4135/978144627305013500012. 3 Abstract This thesis is of originality and value as it is the first piece of research to explore whether older male prisoners are satisfied with quality of life (QoL) and wellbeing and if the most appropriate prison regime for an older prison population could be identified. The thesis offers the most recent insight into the experience of being older in prison across three prison regimes, high secure, training, and open. A mixed methodology explored older male prisoners’ satisfaction with QoL and wellbeing and is the first research study to adopt this approach with an older prison population. The mixed methodology consisted of two phases, the first phase, a quantitative questionnaire to assess QoL and wellbeing was circulated to all older male prisoners aged 50 years and over across three prison regimes.

  • Thailand 2020 Human Rights Report
    THAILAND 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Thailand is a constitutional monarchy, with King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun (Rama X) as head of state. In March 2019 Thailand held the first national election after five years of rule by a junta-led National Council for Peace and Order. The National Council-backed Phalang Pracharath Party and 18 supporting parties won a majority in the lower house, and they retained as prime minister National Council leader Prayut Chan-o-Cha, the leader of the 2014 coup and a retired army general. The election was generally peaceful with few reported irregularities, although observers noted that a restrictive legal framework and selective enforcement of campaign regulations by the Election Commission favored Phalang Pracharath-aligned parties. The Royal Thai Police and the Royal Thai Armed Forces share responsibility for law enforcement and the maintenance of order within the country. The police report to the Office of the Prime Minister; the armed forces report to the Ministry of Defense. The Border Patrol Police have special authority and responsibility in border areas to combat insurgent movements. While more authority has been returned to civilian authorities following the election, they still do not maintain full control over the security forces. Members of the security forces committed a variety of abuses. Significant human rights issues included: reports of unlawful or arbitrary killings by the government or its agents; torture and cases of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment

  • R V BM: Errors in the Judicial Interpretation of Body Modification by Dr
    R v BM: Errors in the Judicial Interpretation of Body Modification By Dr. Samuel Walker* * Lecturer in Law, Department of Law, Bournemouth University, Talbot Campus, Fern Barrow BH12 5BB. Email: [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT R v BM is the latest case to consider the exceptions to Offences Against the Person Act 1861 (OAPA). The exceptions allow an action causing injury that would be a criminal offence to become lawful if the person injured consents to the action. The outcome of this judgement is that body modifications are categorised as medical procedures (and therefore subject to the medical exception only) and new exceptions should not be developed on a case by case basis, instead allocating development of the exceptions to Parliament. Two implications follow from the BM judgement. First, it provided a limited definition of body modifications which are now categorised as medical procedures. Second, their Lordships have restricted further development of the lawful exceptions to offences against the person. This is a lost opportuni- ty for developing the common law exceptions to the OAPA through an autonomy-based lib- eral judicial interpretation. KEYWORDS: modification, body, autonomy, offences against the person, medical justifica- tion 2 I. INTRODUCTION R v BM1 is the latest case to consider the exceptions to the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 (OAPA). The exceptions allow an action causing injury that would be a criminal of- fence to become lawful if the person injured consents to the action. For example, boxers con- sent to their opponent hitting them and people receiving tattoos or piercings consent to the penetration of the skin involved.
