Thinking about the musings from Day 133: Rest…Relax…Reflect.…
I would submit to you that once you understand what the definition of anthropology is, it is easy to spot references to this scientific field in the Holy Bible. I would further submit to you that once you recognize what to look for, these references are bountiful indeed.
In Day 131: The Holy Bible And Anthropology – The Creation Of Man And Woman., 16 bible verses were covered.
In Day 132: The Holy Bible And Anthropology – The Purpose, Fall, And Curse Of Man., 26 bible verses were covered.
So now, let us conclude with 15 more bible verses that contain the following concept relating to the scientific study of anthropology:
Labor By The Sweat Of Their Brow And Sinner By Choice.

8. James 1:13-16 KJV:
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
9. Isaiah 53:6 KJV:

And there you have it.
So, at final count, there are 57 bible verses, who by definition, qualify under the scientific branch of anthropology.
Are there a couple of verses that I may have missed?
Possibly.
However, whether I found them all or maybe missed a couple, what is clear is that you cannot deny the fact that there is a strong connection between the Holy Bible and the scientific branch of anthropology.
So the question has to be, after covering the scientific branches of: astronomy, biology and now anthropology, are there any other branches of science that can be found in the Holy Bible?
That question will be answered next time.
Do not feel discouraged if you do not see a connection with the 57 sets of verses from today from the Holy Bible that relate to the scientific field of anthropology. Do not feel discouraged if you are still unsure that the verses relating to, Labor By The Sweat Of Their Brow And Sinner By Choice, contain any scientific relevance at all. Instead, understand that after you have read these verses, you are continuing the process of learning about the relationship between the scientific field of anthropology and the Holy Bible…perhaps without even realizing it.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 53:6 KJV)
Was today’s blog a little confusing at times? Was the content perhaps a little overwhelming? Did you feel lost not understanding some or most of the subject matter?
Those feelings are totally understandable and it is ok to have one or more of those feelings. Remember that you are reading Day 134: The Holy Bible And Anthropology – Labor By The Sweat Of Their Brow And Sinner By Choice.
If you haven’t been in class since the first day of school…or when the project began…or when the contract was first signed, etc., these feelings make perfect and logistical sense.
