The subject of religion is discussed in a number of articles. Christians belonged to various denominations: Orthodox (which had the largest number of followers), Catholic, Baptist and various other Protestant denominations. Immigrants from Eastern Europe included Russian and Ukrainian Christians from the Orthodox Church. In 1588, King Philip II of Spain sent an armada (a fleet of ships) to collect his army from the Netherlands, where they were fighting, and take them to invade England. This was done in the name of religion, because England had become Protestant and no longer accepted the Pope as the head of the Church; Spain was Catholic and the Pope had encouraged Philip to try to make England become Catholic again. Use this lesson to work with original documents which tell the story of England and the invasion of the Spanish Armada. While the Armada tried to get in touch with the Spanish army, the English ships attacked fiercely. Does Hawkins think that the English have a chance to beat the Spanish Armada? Many people have asked themselves if God exists. To many English people this proved that God wanted them to win and there were pictures and medals made to celebrate this fact.

When the Jews took possession of the Promised Land, it was natural enough for them also to adopt this title for their One God. It is a hybrid and is not usually used by Jews. 3.

When referring to the One Jewish God, the form Ha-Elohim (the God) is often employed. It is in fact, like Adonai, a plural form and is also, on occasions, used to refer to the pagan gods. Various conjectures have been made as to why a plural noun should be used to designate the unity of the One God. Why did the English chase the Spanish as they sailed towards Scotland? How useful do you think this information would be to the English government?

A 30-year mortgage on an over-priced tract home in the “right” neighborhood — rather than land owned freely without threat of government regulation or confiscation. Beersheba was almost certainly an old pagan shrine and, when God revealed Himself as El Shaddai, He was promising the patriarch that the land of Canaan (the Promised Land) was to be given to his descendants forever. The book of Genesis describes the patriarch Abraham calling God El Olam at the shrine of Beersheba: “Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and called there on the name of JHWH, the Everlasting God” (21:3). Similarly, when Abraham attained the age of ninety-nine, JHWH appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty, walk with me and be blameless” (17:1). In both instances there are clear Canaanite connections. Why were there more soldiers than sailors? There is already an existing procedure to apply for citizenship in India with reasonable restrictions. Are we being good stewards?

Buckland and Chalmers, so favorably regarded by some harmonists of Scripture and geology, to read the first verse as a heading to the whole section, is exploded by the fact that no historical narration can begin with “and.” To this Exodus 1.
