Before the coming of Jesus Christ, religion as a concept still existed. However, what is today known as Christianity did not exist then. People who lived during this era worshiped or believed images gods or spirits that resided in trees or mountains. The dominant religion was Judaism.

But then, not everyone was a Jew. Many religions were in existence as seen in the Old ...

“Careful dear,” my mother lovingly caressed my hair as I bumped into her while frantically running upstairs on my way to the roof top. I would be nine years old tomorrow and she still treats me as if I am a three. I didn’t in the least like her gestures of love. ”Why can’t she just keep her hands off me? Why on earth she has to make a show of it every damn time I am near her? Just the thought of her touching me makes me puke,” angrily I mused as I continued to run upstairs. I ...

A Day To Remember

She heard small voices talking about how to switch on a toy, followed by a tick sound that switched the toy to start. The small voices started to giggle happily, as if they were seeing something silly and fun. After a long sound of laughter, there were small footsteps walking around and slowly running around. There were scrambling and sound of cabinet doors opening and closing.

And then she opened her eyes.

It was so relaxing and felt that she had enough sleep. She remembers the night before she passed out. George, her husband, and she was talking about how ...

Assignment 2.

Concerning the circle of Hell I would send him to, as Dante, it might have been the second circle, meaning the one responsible for lust and where sinners were hunted by horrible storm. On the other hand, I think it would be too mild because Dante's perception of lust is more connected with love and obsession with one's beloved one, rather than an act of dominance and possession of one' will and freedom. So, I would place him in the Seventh circle for violence because he committed violence against those women he raped. I would place him in the ...

Christianity was born into a world which was dominated by philosophy. Plato was prominent among the philosophers and thrived on probing all theories put forward until the truth was established. The initial followers of Christianity did not support questioning of their religion because they viewed it as being divine. However, a new crop of believers arose in Alexandria and Athens where philosophy thrived. These are the ones that started putting the teachings of Jesus into organized formats. Philosophers like Justin Martyr also converted to Christianity and just like Socrates fought the old establishment by pushing for reasoned believes as opposed to ...

It started with the bullfighting. I had never been a fan of the sport itself; indeed, I had never really considered it; but there I was, in Valencia, watching the matadors wave their flags at the heads of the bulls. I had never seen anything like it before, and it was an image that will be seared into my brain as demonstrative of my time in Spain for the rest of my life.
There is so much to say about bullfighting. There is a rich history of bullfighting in Spain and Portugal, but everyone seems to have an opinion about ...

Entertainment is having an enjoyment about something. In 1 Timothy 6: 17, the scripture says that God provides people with everything for their enjoyment. In other words, God has given people responsibility to enjoy themselves as much as they can. According to Idelman (2013), entertainment is doing what one is most passionate about.

Introduction

As I reflect on my course on religion, I came to realize that for most people, religion is a subject where everyone has an opinion. Therefore, it has become a source of much discussion, debates and intrigue. However, it is sad to note that while people find it easy to engage in religious talks, only a few takes the necessary road of getting enough education on the matter by studying carefully the doctrines that are fundamental to religion. In this course, I was able to have the privilege of studying important concepts that are fundamental to Christianity, thus allowing me to have a ...

1. Describe the political economy of commodities trading in 17th century Amsterdam. Explain the particular economic navigational challenges for Miguel Lienzo:
Between the 16th and 17th century, economic reforms were not bereft of controversies. Misfortune struck Antwerp, the most renowned merchandizing city that ever was in the trading world.

Amsterdam surged ahead consolidating and ...

Poetry is often created by authors to deliver a message. For some, poetry is the window to one’s emotions. For others, poetry is a device to express a theme. In this paper, two poems shed light on certain aspects of my life that are congruent to the message that the poem wishes to convey.

We were thinking that after this grueling task that we are going to have in our work, we will bring the kids out-of-town.

My personal view of sin

“Against thee, thee only, have I sinned” (Psalm 51:4)
The concept of sin is a major part of almost every major world religion. Whether it be Christianity, Judaism or Islam, followers of faith are always painted to be in the state of a constant battle against sin. Yet, we seldom stop to ponder what really constitutes sin. In the Bible as well as the Koran, the fall of man has been attributed to sin. Christians know this to be the original sin, where Adam and Eve defied the order of God and were punished with banishment from paradise. I believe ...

Taken from the posthumous memoir of Dr. John Watson, published on the 25th anniversary of his passing, in which the prolific chronicler of England’s most celebrated amateur detective frankly admits to the many and fanciful misrepresentations of his friend’s character - falsehoods which Watson confesses to have perpetrated upon an unsuspecting and admiring public. To wit, that Sherlock Holmes was, in fact, bored speechless and rendered irremediably irresoluteby excessive detail.
“Of the many compelling investigations carried to a happy and just resolution by the ‘observational powers’ of my friend Sherlock Holmes, few if any can be ascribed ...
