Corinthian, book of correction

Introduction
Paul's concern of the misunderstandings in the church at Corinth is. The church was corrupted by ideas and conceptions that were neither based on the scriptures nor were they sensible, even with the Intellectual preacher, Apollos among them (who served as pastor in Paul's absence). The Corinthian church accommodated traditions of the Roman culture and allowed divisions among them. The disquieting reports sent to Paul while he was in Ephesus revealed that the community of members were identifying themselves separately according to leaders they adored. The separations led to divisions in the church leading to Paul's decision to ...

Introduction to the New Testament

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had ...

ANALYSIS OF HOTEL RWANDA AND ITS CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE

After the independence of Rwanda from Belgium, chaos erupted between the two main tribes in Rwanda i.e. The Hutu and the Tutsi. Theresentment stemmed from the fact that the minority Tutsi who had been favored by the Belgium colonialist had been left a lot of wealth and controlled much of the land. The country was filled with ethnic tension which boiled over in 1994 when the country’s president Juvenal Habyarimana, who was a Hutu, was killed after his plane was shot down. The genocide that followed was one of the worst ever recorded in the history of mankind.

The holy book of Romans is undoubtedly one of the most elaborate works of Apostle Paul to the Christians living in Rome, which was then an important city both into the Roman Empire and in the work of the gospel. Rome was both an administrative and religious center, with a highly cosmopolitan population. The book of Romans is actually not Paul’s first letter but it is placed as the first epistle because of its depth in dealing with the person of the messiah Jesus Christ and the message of the kingdom of God that he came to expose ...

Justification by Faith

Paul is one of the biblical authors of the epistles. Most of Paul's letters are addressed to the church by describing some of the righteous ways that the Christians can live. Paul’s gospel on justification by faith explains that for one to achieve salvation in the Lord, one must have faith first. This is essential for Christians because they strive to be righteous in God’s eyes so as to live eternally. This means that the person who may be tagged as a sinner in a given community can be liberated if he or she decides to trust ...

In O’Connor’s “A Good Man is hard to find” and Lawrence’s “The Rocking Horse Winner,” both writers look at the destructive nature of the family. Although the setting and conflict is different in both stories, the writers choose to show that all families have disagreements with each other. These disagreements often lead to negative reactions to the members of the family. In “The Rocking Horse Winner,” the story centers on a young boy’s need to experience a positive relationship with his mother. He tries to win her love, but fails in his attempts. Similarly, the ...

Ethics, well known as moral philosophy is what recommends the concepts of wrong or right conducts. Ethics has been ranked into three major areas of study namely meta-ethics, normative ethics and applied ethics. Paul joins theology and ethics and insists that none can exist without the other (Harrington et al., 2010). The ontology of ethics further explains that non-descriptivist and non-cognitivism thinkers have a belief named the anti-realist position and have no position in explaining what ethics is. This essay aims at explaining what ethics is and the theological basis on which Paul derives his understanding of ethics. Further, ...

Paul is considered one of the greatest apostles of Jesus who evangelized Christianity across the world. He inspired and motivated the early Christians who were experiencing persecutions and religious divisions brought about by competing interpretation of Christ teachings. In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul appealed to the community of believers there to be united in mind and purpose and avoid divisions and disagreements (Corithians1:10-11). He preached about Christian virtues of love, perseverance, faith, obedience and reconciliation throughout his ministry. These virtues have been observed by Christians since early Christian era. Paul’s conversion to Christianity played an important ...

1 Corinthians 11:2-16 is one of the more interesting and controversial passages in the New Testament, as it deals primarily with the concept of head-covering, and the manner in which men and women are to worship God. In effect, men are commanded to keep their hair cut short, while women are commanded to cover their head while worshipping. This passage indicates the separation of gender, with each gender having a different relationship with the doctrine of God. Given today's predominant view that this kind of gender separation and subsumation is problematic, it is important to view the passage through ...

An epistle to Romans, i.e. the Christian Church in Rome, was written by Paul and addressed to a community of people, in contrast to some personal letters he used to write during his mission as well.

In this essay I will present Paul’s message to Romans and its possible meaning including my interpretation on it.
Basically, Paul presents two main ...

Interpreting Philippians Chapter 2 verse 5-11

Introduction
The main ideas in the verses are humility and exaltation. To get a grasp of what Paul has to say in these verses, it is crucial to understand the meanings of the words humility and exaltation. Humility is character or virtue of being humble and it is the ability to lower once self and lack pride in the way one carries him or herself. Exaltation, on the other hand, is the opposite of humility and people who exalt themselves are proud by carrying themselves with glory and are showoffs. In Philippians chapter 2 verses 5-11, Paul writes to ...

The apostle Paul wrote letters to churches to help reconcile their differences and use them as guidelines in the future. Many of his letters were recorded and can be found today in the bible. Among his many teachings, one of the most controversial is the submission of women to their husbands and in public in general. In 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, Paul wrote: “As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, ...

Introduction

Existentialism is one of the dominant philosophical movements that try to explain the existence, choice and freedom of a person. There exist several crucial philosophical propositions that are closely related to existentialism. The main one is and easily identifiable suggestion that states that existentialism is much more than essentiality. Basically, existentialism clearly indicates that human being exists. However, it stipulates that this existence defines him and that he meanders among choices, freedom as well as anguish of existence (Sartre 97). Different philosophers like Soren Kierkegaard and Jean Paul Sartre have different opinions and interpretations of existentialism. This essay intends ...

In his Encyclical Fides at Ratio or Faith and Reason (1998), Pope John Paul II maintained that faith and reason were never contradictory but rather complimentary, and that theology was also a rational science in its own right that provided answers to the ultimate questions about the meaning and purpose of life. At no time has Catholic tradition been anti-intellectual or hostile to philosophy and science, nor is it based on unreason and blind faith. Even so, as Paul often pointed out, the Revelation of the Bible transcends human reason and wisdom and cannot be arrived at through logic ...

A band more famous than Jesus! That statement was one casually made by a British rock band known to leave a permanent mark on both pop culture and music history for time immemorial. The Beatles was the band, and although that comment attracted bad publicity, it was not enough to destroy the incredibly talented men who made up this legendary band. John, Paul, George, and Ringo are names that every baby boomer and surrounding generations has come to associate with an era that will never be forgotten. The band to alter the face of music history entered the scene ...

Male love and desire for sex was a common erotic and affectional ground for males, a territory that was shared equally by men who did not have a desire for sex with female, and the rest of the male, who were having a desire for males, was a chance for them to get attracted. The traditions suggested that the excluded heterosexuality is just but a convection of latest vintage, based on the refusal of one’s own potential strength of homosexuality. There was some difference between present and past construction of men love and desire for homosexuality as it ...

Abstract

Calvin’s doctrine is an exposition of the question whether free will exists. If an all-powerful God can see the future and determine the future, how can free will actually exist? This paper analyses the Calvin doctrine and the Roman Catholic doctrines in regards to free will. Calvin doctrine will be demonstrated to root for the stance that God predestines the people who will have eternal life, or rather picks them. Roman Catholicism on the other hand propounds that free will plays a great role in determining an individual’s spiritual outcome.

The question posed by Calvin is almost ...

Describe the factors to consider when promoting effective communication.

Effective communication takes listening skills. The Manila Bulletin (2010) explains how active listening means getting into the head of who is talking. This means trying to understand his or her point of view about what is being said. Cooper (1997) explains how practicing good listening makes a good tool for communicating because it shows concern for what the other person is saying so if there is need to answer a question then listening gives meaning to what is heard. Then it is possible to analyze the information so it is interpreted correctly. Other parts of communication, according to Craig ( ...

The first issue is on brutality involved in war. It shows the properties of Great War in terms of destruction to the young soldiers in the front line.

Beloved is a lyrical masterpiece authored by renowned and award-winning American writer, Toni Morrison. American has a long and complicated history.

Christian Leadership

Christian leadership is the type of leadership that is practiced in the church according to the life of Jesus Christ.

Introduction

Very many civilians are of the opinion that soldiers live extremely secretive lives. They believe that the soldiers are always in battle with enemies or they are constantly getting bombed and mortared. The civilians therefore believe that danger is a constant thing in the soldier’s life. On the soldier’s part, most of them view the civilian life as bland and boring. They perceive that most of the civilians have unimportant jobs that contribute to the boring nature of their lives. The major difference between the military and civilian lives is that soldiers are expected to lead disciplined ...

Introduction:

The Beatles are probably the greatest rock band of all time and their musical style evolved substantially over the years. There are also some iconic albums such as ‘Revolver’ and Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club where extraneous influences permeated the songs and created a unique style. Amongst the most important of these influences was the Eastern effect which came upon George Harrison in the years 1964-65 and which was to find its way into ‘Revolver’ (Barrow p 65). The essay thesis is an argument over the transition from Help to Revolver where the experimentation in sound reach its ...

Elder and Paul (2011) posit, “There are predictable stages through which every person who develops as a critical thinker passes” (p. 1). I agree with this assertion. If we assume that the premise learning is a process holds true, then that process offers great insights of Elder and Paul’s argument. The later premise for learning as a process shows that a thinker must move from regions of familiarity to unfamiliar one. Critical thinking requires that the person understand the basic concept of a theory if s/he is to think critically about that theory. The converse ideation, where critical ...

Gothic architecture started between 12th and 13th centuries (Frankl and Paul 5). Engineering advancements had freed architecture of the church from the thick, heavy walls of Romanesque frameworks and permitted ceilings to soar, windows to proliferate, and walls to thin. Gothic interiors attracted gazes of churchgoers upward to high ceilings full of light. Graceful spires and buttresses soared above town. The Gothic phase started with Abbot Sugar’s construction of the renowned Abbey of St-Denis during the 1140s (Frankl and Paul 9). Nonetheless, Cathedrale de Notre-Dame is believed to have made this style influential. Work started on Notre Dame ...

In Short-Story Characters

Loneliness is a human condition that people almost universally wrestle with, at least during some point in their lives, which is why it is such a compelling subject for writers to depict with their characters. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “lonely” is defined as “being without company, cut off from others, not frequented by human beings, sad from being alone, and producing a feeling of bleakness or desolation” (n.d.). A person may feel lonely when all his friends are going away to college but he is still in his hometown working at the same job he has had through ...

The coming of age story and the fantasy adventure have the potential to combine in very interesting ways. Often, in these types of stories, the hero's journey is also an inward quest to address the protagonists' own insecurities. The price for the responsibility taken by one young person in science fiction and fantasy epics can be high; it can cost them their innocence, or even their lives. Paul Atreides, the main character of Frank Herbert's Dune, and Aerin, the heroine of The Hero and the Crown, are forced to grow up far sooner than they have to, and some ...

FAITH AND INTEGRATION

Paul’s attitude as discussed in the reading was indeed one of a kind. This is because despite the tough times he was going through, he chose to speak more about Christ than about his predicaments. This shows a high sense of faith integration into Paul’s character as his decision to ignore his troubles was based on the faith that by being concerned about the business of Christ, Christ was in turned concerned about his business (Witherington, 2011, p. 53). This is a sign of Paul’s faith on the words of the Messiah in Matthew 28:19, where ...

In the film Hotel Rwanda, the main acting technique used was the Stanislavski's Method of acting.

These two apostles shifted from exclusively preaching to Jews to involve Gentiles because now they had to ...

Christian Paul Kunsch was born in Hagen in the North German state of Westphalia. He is primarily a husband and father but is also a photographer and Taoist for good measure, also describing himself as ‘European’ on his website. His work which is chiefly in black and white is basically inspired by the work of Bernard Plossu, Francoise Nunez, Henri Cartier Bresson and Lucien Herve. However he claims other influences such as the music of Radiohead, Thom Yorke and Max Richter. Another source of inspiration is Wim Wenders, the film director whose movie, ‘Wings of Desire’ is an important ...

In its first three centuries, Christianity began to separate from Judaism while also selectively incorporating the Jewish Scriptures and laws that it regarded as most useful, as is clear from the Didache. There were Gnostic Christians who were prepared to reject Judaism completely, along with the books of the Bible that finally became known as the Old Testament in the 4th Century. They regarded the Genesis Creator of the Hebrew Bible as a false and evil God and also denied the humanity and Jewish heritage of Jesus and his earliest followers. Orthodox Christianity did not accept the Gnostic argument ...

During centuries ‘freedom’ was considered as the most precious thing a human being can possess. People were scared to lose it, so struggled for it, and protected it. Freedom was and still remains the highest value. It was sung in songs, depicted in literature and poetry. But really rear the authors of that works lived through all the suffering imaged. Of course, there are a lot of exceptions and Paul Laurence Dunbar is one of them. His one of the most prominent poem Sympathy touches the issue of freedom and is closely connected with his own life.
