This interdenominational union is rooted in the belief that all Christians are bound together by Christ and His existence should not be the cause of division and ...

Importance of salvation to Christianity

Introduction
Salvation is a central issue in Christianity. It is the gateway to eternal life. Generally, baptism and the acceptance that the crucifixion and the death of Jesus Christ on the cross were to atone for sins, qualifies one for salvation (Letter, 1952). The New Testament presents accounts for the life of Jesus Christ, his deeds, his death, resurrection, ascension to heaven and the lives of early Christians. Paul, an author of nearly half of the books in the New Testament, offers great insights on salvation. In his letter to Timothy, he states that all men qualify to be ...

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) is the great German thinker, a classical scholar, composer, poet, a creator of the original philosophical doctrine, which has emphasized non-academic nature and therefore is widespread far beyond the scientific and philosophical communities. The fundamental concept of Nietzsche includes specific criteria for assessing the validity, questioned the basic principles of the existing forms of morality, religion, culture and socio-political relations and subsequently reflected in the philosophy of life. As stated in the aphoristic style, most of the works of Nietzsche can not be unambiguously interpreted and cause a lot of controversies.
Friedrich Nietzsche was the first person to ...

Stereotypes that have been labelled against women have made them fight for their positions and recognition in almost all aspects of their lives. Despite the efforts of women to prove to the society that they have equal capabilities as men when exposed to similar treatment, some communities still sideline women considering them unfit for certain position. It has however, been a milestone in many areas where women have been able to take up important roles and positions in the society. The latest battle that women religion where some

One of the traits that is commonly associated with the writing of Southern storyteller Flannery O’Connor is the use of shocking violence in order to advance her rhetorical arguments. One of the more ironic uses of violence occurs when she chooses to use it for the representation of salvation, frequently through the use of characters who are physically and/or spiritually grotesque in nature. “A Good Man is Hard to Find” is one of O’Connor’s most popular stories, and it demonstrates this principle. The Misfit is a murderer who shocks a Pharisaically pious grandmother into authentic spiritual awareness even ...

Historical events, particularly the very distant ones, can be viewed in different and contrasting perspectives. Interestingly, technological innovations of online games can be used to advance alternate perspectives on historical events. Online gaming has become so widespread that it has great power to influence one’s perceptions and can be a convenient route to provoke deeper thinking on alternate perspectives. Thus, the central focus of my thesis and argument is that video games like the Assassin’s Creed have the right to offer different interpretations of history, however absurd the notions advanced.
As an online game, the Assassin’s ...

In the Maysles brothers documentary, Salesman, produced in 1969, a strong case is made for the daunting challenges that four traveling Bible salesmen face on a daily basis. In Salesman, the producers argue that the frustrations faced by the salesmen are similar to the struggles faced by Catholic missionaries. Although they are only salesmen, their struggles to stay afloat and make money from the sales of the Holy Bible are gritty and real.
Underlying values such as guilt, sin, and redemption play vital roles in the film's development as close-ups of potential buyers of the "Catholic Bible Set" show them wrestling ...

Philosophy

Every creature is fundamentally based on two principles that elaborate its being, which is existence and essence. All living beings, God excluded, require both principles that explain the definite existence of individual thing. Each principle is considered dissimilar from the other, but this difference is not merely logical but it is a real one. Aristotle, Plato and St. Thomas Aquinas take the stand on explaining the essence. Both Plato and Aristotle simply explain essence as “the form” (Giles,& Michael, p.40). However, Aquinas argued that if the essence was merely the considerable form, then matter cannot be considered as essence of a ...

Introduction: The topic of this paper is based on Voltaire’s universal belief that since all people on earth are creations of the Divine Creator, they should tolerate one another. Voltaire was a well-known French enlightenment writer, philosopher, deist and essayist of his time. He was an outspoken advocate of social reforms, and he didn’t fear the strict laws of France and the ruthless penalty given to those who broke them. He used satire to criticize Church dogmatism, and his relentless criticism led to his incarceration in 1717. Voltaire is best known for his “Universal Tolerance” belief that since ...

The word redemption is a religious awareness referring to mercy and forgiveness for sins committed by individuals. Individuals are also protected from damnation and dishonor after they are redeemed through accepting Jesus as the path to the beginning of a new life-redemption. Christians use these conceptions, redemption and salvation, interchangeably. Christians define this concept, redemption, as the deliverance of Christians from sin (Osborn, 1993). Redemption was made achievable when the son of God (Jesus Christ) died and resurrected to mark the beginning of a fresh era free of sinners and sin since one had a chance of asking for mercy and forgiveness.

The Mask of Religion

Throughout human history, religion has been an incredibly influential force across the world. In the name of religions such as Christianity, Judaism and Islam, people both live rich and fulfilled lives. Some individuals even found spiritual insight, understanding and wisdom because of their faith in and love for God and their fellowmen. However, there are those who used religion for their own selfish interest and “filthy lucre gain” (Titus 1:11, KJV). Thus, in the name of religion, fanatics and false religious leaders had committed and continue to commit terrible acts against humanity.
Despite these religions' untarnished doctrines concerning ...

Rome was actually the greatest empire in world history. It rose from a simple beginning to a wealthy and powerful empire. Before its fall, it had 80 million people with its territory stretching from today’s Scottish board all the way to the Persian Gulf (Ermatinger, 12). Different historians have listed reasons that led to the decline and eventual collapse of the great empire. These reasons include, rise of Christianity, military decline, attacks from foreign tribes, economic decline and division of the empire into the Western and Eastern blocks among others. This essay will argue that it was possible to prevent ...

Essay 1: Compare And Contrast How You, Lao Tzu and Homer Would Respond To The Old Testament

Lao Tzu is the spiritual leader behind the philosophy of Taoism. He is best known for his writings which currently form the foundations of Taoism. Taoism basically seeks to help people achieve harmony and peace with nature through distancing themselves from the world. It encourages people to avoid issues happening around the world as the only way in which they will attain inner peace with themselves. Homer was also a philosopher and one of the first influential writers in Greek. He was known for his many poems which were used as a standard to evaluate ones level of education in ancient ...

Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Henry VIII all had certain ideas in common during the Protestant Reformation, since they rejected the authority of the pope in Rome and thought that local rulers should be heads of national churches. Indeed, the Reformation could be described as a great impetus to nationalism as it spread through northern Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Scandinavia, England and Scotland in the 16th Century. They all thought the Latin Mass should be abolished, and had the Bible translated into the local vernacular languages. All Protestants abolished the old religious orders, permitted clergy to marry, ended the veneration of ...

Zitkala-Sa is of Native American decent and has two major works: Old Indian Legends and American Indian Stories. Both books are autobiographies that describe how she encounters another culture, and how she interacts with the Christian culture.
When she was young, Zitkala-Sa, against her mother’s will, joined a school, which was funded by missionaries. The school was comprised of almost only whites or “palefaces” as the Native Americans referred to them. In the schools she attended, she had to interact with different cultures. She achieved so much in Indian affairs and was an icon for her people.

Classic pieces of literature such as those written by Shakespeare or Dickinson are constantly being reinterpreted by new generations and literary leaders. Classic stories such as A Little Princess or the Chronicles of Narnia series by C. S. Lewis are also constantly being reevaluated by up-and-coming as well as established authors. C. S. Lewis’s well beloved series The Chronicles of Narnia has recently been evaluated, and attacked, by Philip Pullman. Philip Pullman, the celebrated children’s author who wrote His Dark Materials, has been called by The Times one of the fifty greatest British authors since 1945. He ...

The formation of the Christian movements namely Waldensians, Humiliati and Robert of Arbrrisel was driven by a common cause. This explains why they may share some characteristics. They most probably stemmed from the Catholic Church and their doctrines were founded on the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Discussion

The original founder of Waldensians was known as Valdese. He was a former catholic priest and broke out following the confession of his faith. He refused to abide by the requirement that the heretics (the believers in orthodox practice) were to sign an oath. The Robert’s movement, however, did not split out of ...

Objectification according to the word web dictionary definition refers to a concrete representation of an abstract or an idea or principle.

The elements of ethos, pathos and logos are all essential components of argument; they are vital ways of conveying a message in a way that a)makes sense and b) is emotionally effective. Three writers in particular were skilled at using these aspects of argument: Martin Luther King, Jr., Jim Hightower and Arundhati Roy. In their respective works, "Letter from Birmingham Jail," "Rebellion Is What Built America" and "Come September," ethos, pathos and logos are used to great effect to create emotional and logical appeals for their arguments for the benefit of a potentially hostile audience.

“Letter from Birmingham Jail” is a famous open letter ...

When Worlds Collided: The Fall of Constantinople and the Byzantine Order

The conquest of Constantinople in 1453 by the Ottoman Turks brought the final curtain down on the Roman epoch, of which the Byzantine Empire was the final, glorious manifestation. When Constantine the Great established the city of Constantinople in 330 A.D., he re-constituted the old Roman order along a new East/West axis. Henceforth, the beleaguered empire would be administered from two capitals, but few could foresee that this arrangement would create a religious and political schism that would make rivals of the two great cities. Gradually, the Byzantines eclipsed Rome by virtue of Constantinople’s mighty walls and the city’s ...

1. Socrates, Descartes and Thoreau are all very famous philosophers with different beliefs and wisdom toward different aspects of life. According to Thoreau he positions life and truth as a way to live and have life in this world. Descartes reasoning of life promotes a more distinct and moral aspects as from the intellectual mind and towards the many other natures. Though all of them proceed on different times they possess a unique approach to life whereby the aspect of life is of descriptive nature. In this respect I agree to the fact that the similarity of their thinking continues to baffle ...

Leonardo grew up with both his father and ...

I have very much enjoyed reading the travels of Marco Polo through the Indian Ocean, as well as his appraisal of the different civilizations and tribes he meets along the way. This particular section is interesting to me, due to the fact that he has somewhat of an imperialist view of these tribes. He always has to compare and frame these tribes to the Christian audience he is writing to, and it almost seems like a manual for what needs to be conquered and taken for the glory of Europe.

Polo does not spend much time in India before heading ...

Mormonism is a religion that was founded by Joseph Smith Jr. This religion is practiced by members of the Latter Day Saint Church and this church has more than 6 million members.

Smith was put in jail on June 27th, 1884 after there word spread that he had introduced polygamy in Mormonism. He was later assassinated by mob and ...

The two pieces of work, ‘The Road Not Taken’ by Robert Frost, and ‘A worn Path’ by Eudora Welty both describe two separate journeys by two characters. The two journeys, though in separate worlds, are loaded with symbolism in the characters, elements of the journey and the emerging themes. The poem ‘The Road Not Taken’ brings out the choices made in terms of what course to take in life while the short story ‘A Worn Path’, shows the undying determination of a traveler to finish the course of her journey.

Symbolism of the journey

Though appearing simple and subtle, the story ‘A Worn Down ...

Although criticizing religion is undoubtedly controversial according to many a believer, the concept of having a universal but supreme god prevents many from finding solutions to their problems (Vidal). On the religious side, it can be argued that having monotheistic religions has contributed to the existence of a just society, characterized by law and order. From a critical point, a monotheistic religion prevents the believers from exercising their freedom of worship or freedom of religion and hence, preventing them from visualizing the existence of any world other than the one depicted by their religion. As such, a monotheistic believer will always live in a world of ...

Religion has become a very significant force all around the world. Religion on the planet is present in the form of plurality, that means more than one religion are followed by different group of people. There are those who embrace Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and Christianity and then there are those who don’t embrace any kind of religion at all. According to Nigel and Linda (2009) “Reasons for coercive legislation drawn from some particular religion will seldom if ever satisfy the condition for justified coercion”. There are many people belonging to different religions residing in a particular society.

Mary Rowlandson’s View of Her Indian Captors

Hell-hounds and Beasts:

Mary Rowlandson’s View of Her Indian Captors

Mary Rowlandson was a Puritan wife and mother who, in 1676, was captured and taken from her home in Lancaster, Massachusetts by a raiding band of Narragansett Indians (Canada n.p.). She related the story of her eleven months of captivity in her book, Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson, a best-seller in the popular captivity-narrative genre of the era. The combination of her Puritan faith and the brutality of the incidents she witnessed during her capture and captivity led Rowlandson to view her Indian captors as less ...

The Merneptah Stele, also known as the Israel Stele, is the earliest known reference, outside of the Old Testament, to the existence of Israel (Alstrom and Edelman, 1985). It is a tome inscribed by Merneptah, an Egyptian king who conquered Canaan in the 12th century BC. Its significance lies in its mention of the nation or people of Israel in its coda, and as such has gained the title “The Israel Stele,” despite the nations’ relative unimportance in the overall text. In this paper, the examination of early Israel through the Mernaptah Stele will be discussed, as well as how ...

Abstract

Harry Ashfield and Danny Gospel languish in empty, meaningless lives. Both experience “tipping points” that inspire them to seek the Kingdom of God. Rejecting their pasts, they embark on spiritual journeys that lead them to sublimate everything to their quests for salvation. What follows are uniquely intimate and personal experiences that bring them to an understanding of salvation and the healing love of God.

Personal History

I had a difficult start in life because I was born with physical disabilities. I was an extremely weak newborn and the doctors recommended a three-year stay in hospital for care and observation. The doctors were not very optimistic and even advised my mother against registering my birth with the government since they felt I was bound to die. I was eventually discharged from hospital by the age of four, and somewhat miraculously, after a few years I was able to live like a normal child. Yet, destiny would not allow me to enjoy a normal childhood. In my early teens, I made my ...

Before explaining on my moral codes, the understanding of moral codes is essential to ensure that while explaining or putting across my moral practices I understand what I am talking about in this context. Moral codes area system of morality that a particular persons or people who may be united by a common religion or practice believe in, and somehow dictates on how they envision things in life. Thus, according to the environment that I happened to be brought up in, there are certain acts that I perceive as good or bad. Consequently, according to my religious practices, there are also ...

Introduction

The current debate over the teaching on Universal Salvation did not come from a new Christian teaching but from an argument on issues seen in the old one. Outside the ancient Christian Church, however, the first attention to this teaching perhaps came from Hosea Ballou, an American pastor who co-founded the first Universalist church in the United States and later on attributed as the father of the American Universalism. He wrote in 1892 a book, which chronicled the history of universalism up to A.D. 553.
The debate heated up when an evangelical philosopher, Thomas Talbott, who wrote in 1995 ...

Discussing Quantitative Research and Qualitative Research

The first thing to establish is to be aware that there is a quantitative research as well as qualitative research. In this instance, the emphasis would be on quantitative research. However, it is important to see the difference in a short comparison. Quantitative research allows a scholar to find the hard facts as well as collect data to demonstrate a “truth or a rule or a law (saintbeagle, 2011). The results from the quantifiable data will allow the scholar or researcher to find the understanding of the empirical facts. It is also about having datasets that others can tap into. The analysis of such research ...

Over the last few decades the question about gay rights and gay marriage has been widely discussed not only in the USA, but in most Western European countries. It has affected many people, who opted either for or against the question, if gays should have rights. It was not only discussed about the rights as a single person, but also about the rights of being a same sex-couple. People that are in these types of relationships started all forms of protests and initiatives to gain their rights to be married. There is a strict line of division between the groups of people ...

Introduction

The definition of physician assisted suicide is slightly different from the general term definition of euthanasia. Although some may equate physician assisted suicide with the blanket term, the distinction between euthanasia and physician assisted suicide is that the latter is done with both the patient’s and doctor’s intent to end the patient’s life by unnatural means (Tamayo-Vela´zquez, Simo´n-Lorda, and Cruz-Piqueras, 678). The doctor assists the patient in committing suicide, usually by administering an injection or pill that contains a lethal substance. A doctor may also administer a relaxant to help keep the patient calm during the ...

There are as many different viewpoints on morality and the divine as there are people in the world. Beliefs on morality and God are some of the most personal types of beliefs, and they cause some of the biggest problems in the world today. One of the biggest divides between people of different faiths-- and between people of faith and people without-- is whether or not humanity needs God to be moral and to live a moral, ethical life. Some religious orders teach that God is necessary for living a good, moral life, while others teach that knowing God helps the ...

Allen Hajek formulates his “Many Gods Objection” against Pascal's Wager. In his opinion, Pascal's Wager does not exhaust the relevant options regarding whether there is a Christian God or not. In this paper I shall defend Pascal's Wager against this objection.
Hajek's objection to Pascal's wager can be reconstructed as follows. Hajek points out that (1)Pascal's either-or proposition is an oversimplification.
(2) We could derive an infinite degree of expected utility from more than one religious option.
(3) According to Pascal's Wager, we can either choose only one Christian God or not choose one Christian God
(4) This ...

The issue of Gender parity in Religion has been a strong point of argument. Even within Christianity there have been varying viewpoints depending on the particular Orders. For instance, orthodox Catholicism did not accord an equal status to men and women, while the later Protestant Orders attempted to change this disparity. However, both the Old and New Testaments are full of passages that clearly demarcate gender roles and place men on a higher pedestal. A similar outcome is seen in Islam as well where women are further reduced to a degraded state of existence. This essay will examine the ...

As the saying goes, the ocean is blue because it reflects off the ocean; the descriptions of Africa are as many as the people who describe it. Many people describe Africa in different ways and to a large extend, they all give something akin the correct description. However, Africa is a great area with different people and cultures, thus it can never be described a single thing. The different people living in Africa claim different origins which justify the reasons why it cannot be described as a single unit. It is claimed that civilization in Africa came during colonization by the Europeans, but ...

Martin Luther King’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail remains one of the most famous essays written by Dr. King, and demonstrates his mastery of rhetoric as well as ethics. Dr. Martin Luther King penned the letter while in jail for protesting segregation and Jim Crow laws in the South, and for equality and over all civil rights for African Americans in the rest of the United States. King has always been considered the most important of the civil rights leaders of that period, and the eloquence and his masterful use of rhetoric and other persuasive techniques on display ...

In an article titled ‘How Religion Can Lead to Violence’, Gary Gutting explains his view on the current state of terrorism in the world. Gutting (2016) elaborates that almost all the recent terror attacks all over the world have received almost the same response from Islamic leaders who have distanced the causes of terrorists from their tolerant religion. Clearly, Gutting is of the position that Islamic teachings have failed to teach Muslims tolerance as Christianity has done to its adherents. After reading the article, I was utterly disappointed in the arguments that Gutting presented in a topic defined by ...

The nature of God is one of the most controversial and widely debated topics in the history of mankind. Across cultures, religions, and generations, people have always argued about the precise qualities, attributes and characteristics of God. In order to understand the nature of God, it is important to understand the meaning of the word God. According to Pickover (14-16), God is a common word for a personal object of worship and is usually applied to all superhuman beings. In Christianity and all other monotheistic religions, God is described as the creator of the universe and the giver of ...

Dawkins Richard compares religion to a virus, which spreads and infects the weak-minded people, making them produce aberrant behavior. Like a virus, religion begins as a by- product, and use human beings to propagate its spread. Religions are costly to those infected in them, just as the idea of viruses. Religions demand large amounts of time and money impose health risks and make people believe in things that are contradicting. Religions and viruses succeed by using threats and promises, which People accept and want to pass. This is evident in Michael Blume’s speech, “The reproductive advantage of religion.” In his graph, ...

When one talks about teenage pregnancy, there is a possibility that abortion would enter the discussion. With many teenagers slowly getting pregnant in a young age, many young couples opt to undertake abortion to get away from the responsibilities attached in being a young parent. Arguments have already dominated various discussion forums and mediums in allowing young couples to abort their babies legally. Many groups have vehemently argued against the legalization of Abortion as this is against the moral teachings of the Church, and it would also affect the young mother in the long run. Others believe legalization would reduce the number ...

WHY WAS JAMES II DEPOSED IN ENGLAND IN JANUARY 1689?

Why was James II deposed in England in January 1689?
Religion had played a key role in the development of many nations, and some have met immense criticism and opposition, especially in countries wherein ideology clashes with religious tradition and teachings. In Great Britain, new religions brought into the country had been met with reluctance and even severe opposition, such as Catholicism. Catholicism had met both support and opposition especially in the time of James II in the 17th century. However, while the monarch had embraced Catholicism, his subjects did not and opposed his desire to make Catholicism be ...

The term “Black Death” finds its origins in 1823 whilst referring to a disease characterized by “the black blotches caused by subcutaneous hemorrhages that appeared on the skin of victims.” Otherwise known as the bubonic plague, historians believe the Black Death found its way into Europe from China through trade routes. However, it is not until 1348 that the first signs of the infection appear in England’s society and by 1350; England’s records show a rapid decline in the number of its population. Consequently, between 1348 and 1350, much of medieval Europe saw a division in the elites of its ...

Indonesia over time has been described as democratic power house of East Asia Nation States, mostly by western countries, until in recent times that the position has been questioned by many. The earlier description had been attributed to the country’s tolerance of diversity in terms of racial and ethnical lines, which allowed even the minority to have their say in situations that majority had their way. Almost all the countries and States in the world have laws, rules, and regulations that govern and determine how issues and affairs are conducted within and without their territorial borders, which has ...

Rhetorical Analysis of the Divine Augustus

Augustus gives an account of his deeds through the Res Gestae Divi Augustae. In the autobiography, Augustus gives an account of his accomplishments. The primary core objective brought about by the author is advertising the deeds he considered heroic in the culture that prevailed during his lifetime. He writes of what he goes through in different echelons. He reiterates how he tackles different issues and his actions to his society. He claims to have observed the law at all times. If the claims by Augustus are true, he was a model leader worth being emulated by all as the autobiography ...

Introduction

For a long period, Christians and atheists continue to maintain conflicting perceptive about the existence of God. Consequently, this issue triggers unending debates. The argument about the existence of God does not simply entail sensory proof. This is because universal perception is a determinant of what will be accepted as proof in the first place. In order to be certain in either side of argument, there is need for evidence. Theorists provide conflicting perspectives in support of atheism and existence of God. Christians derive their source of proof from biblical writings. However, these sources receive disqualification from atheists as mere theoretical ...

In William Blake's "Songs of Innocence and of Experience," Blake attempts to dig into the very nature of existence and perception; part of the primary message of the works is that childhood is an innocent time that should be protected, but it is capable of being corrupted by the structures and rules of the adult world. As we get older and move through life, getting more experiences, we lose our innocence and start to become adults because of what the government, the church and the rich do to us.

In "The Lamb," we learn about how we ...
