In December 2016, the US Secretary of State stated that, Israel would either have to be a Jewish State that does not intrude into Palestinian “land” or it should be democratic whereby Palestinians would be given equal rights as dignified citizens of one-state of Israel. This was something many Republicans and Conservatives found to be negative and Anti-American. The purpose of this paper is to argue that the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians cannot be solved. This paper will use elements of persuasion to establish a case to prove that America must stay away from imposing its will on ...

The Christian Bible and Islamic Quran chare a surprising number of similar themes and ideas as a result of their shared religious heritage and birthplaces; an example of this is found in the Bible’s “Sermon on the Mount” parable from the Mathew Gospel and the Quran’s “Lord of Mercy”. It is important to note that the Lord of Mercy referenced by the Koran can include a number of passages, as Allah is directly references as the Lord of Mercy many times; unless specified otherwise, this report will refer primarily to the opening of the Koran for simplicity. ...

Buddhism, like all the other Eastern religions, originated from “Animism”, which is the belief that everything in the universe has an essence, a spirit or a soul. As a way of life, it is similar to the other religions in promoting morality, generosity, kindness, harmony, and respect for all living beings including mother nature. Alike Hinduism, Buddhism believes in the following: 1. Reincarnation, wherein the soul is reborn into another body based on the level of spiritual attainment from the previous life. 2. Karma, which is either the positive or the negative effects of an individual’s actions. 3. ...

Provision of health care requires the nurses to take care of their patients, not only for their medical needs but also for their spiritual and cultural needs. It means that a broad understanding of different cultures and faiths is required if one is to become a nurse or a healthcare provider. This paper analyzes two different religions, Christianity and Buddhism, along with the author’s own spiritual beliefs, and assesses their respective views regarding illness, prayer, medical care ...

Spirituality is explained differently by numerous scholars belonging to different epochs and periods. Some describe it as "the human response to God's gracious call to a relationship with himself “(Zinnbauer et al., 1997); nowadays there is a tendency to affiliate spirituality to individual phenomenon and define as “personal transcendence, supra-conscious sensitivity, and meaningfulness “(Zinnbauer et al., 1997). Mentioned definitions can be true, yet, what matters is the angle one looks at. This paper aims to tackle different associations and definitions of the term spirituality. Furthermore, it looks at the interconnection between the notions of scientism, postmodernism along with the ...

Abstract

Christianity and Islam are both monotheistic religions with the same fundamental background, which are closely aligned as it relates to the presentation of the old testament, however, differing on points of the significance of Jesus and the path to salvation. It is important to understand how both of these religions view the interplay of faith, and modern medicine as it relates to health, wellness and healing. In essence, as both invest faith in an omnipotent and omnipresent God, who promises followers eternal life, both believe that prayer, faith, and the intervention of the divine are integrally involved in healing. ...

The growth of LA as a religious hub in the US can be attributed to the high number of immigrants who chose to settle in the city. Almost all religions are represented in LA with minority communities playing a significant role in the establishment of distinct religious practices as well as institutions. The high number of churches established by different ethnic groups also explains the reason why LA is diverse regarding cultural divisions. Los Angeles is often described as a city with no ethnic majority because of the influence of various religious groups. Even the minority groups such as ...

One of the most important aspects of being an accurate health care provider is to ascertain the difference between the cultures of your patients in order to ensure that you are providing care that is sensitive to their cultural needs. The reason that this is so important is that the patients have to be able to trust in the healthcare that they are receiving. Particularly, when a healthcare professional is affronted with such a sensitive subject such as life or death, there has to be a cultural awareness and a cultural awareness in relation to what the patient’s ...

It can surely be said that the extract from the Bible called “The Sermon on the Mount” plays the role of ethical foundation for every Catholic Christian. This extract tells the story of how Jesus “went up on a mountainside and sat down” (Matthew 5:2), and after gathering His disciples around Him, He started to introduce the rules that Christians had to follow in order to enter Heaven after their death. Although some people might find these rules too strict (for example, Christianity doesn’t allow a divorce), they can greatly increase the quality of human relationships once they ...

The main idea in the book “Pray for Sheetrock” by Melissa Fay Greene is the racial and social movement. In her nonfiction work, Green elaborates the issues that faced McIntosh, a small town in Gorgias. For a long time, the town was ruled by a white sheriff who seemed to care very little about the skin color (Greene 3). However, he used his political tactics to rule the town like a monarchy. No black was allowed in any political position. The people of the McIntosh town accepted the status quo of racial discrimination and segregation. The blacks had no ...

Reflection paper

I have really started to pray only when I was a senior. I do not actually recall what gave me an impulse to do so, probably some personal problems or illness. My prayers remained irregular until a year ago or so. I would usually pray before I fall asleep. Obviously, I used to pray for a lot of things, material and emotional bound, for silly stuff and very serious things. But what I have learned from somewhere years ago is that God does not want us to pray much. He wants us to be sincere in our prayers, to ...

Matthew, the Evangelist, and apostle came from Capernaum. His father was Alphaeus and he was devoted to the Hebrew religion first. His birth name was Levi but he called himself Matthew. Matthew worked as a tax collector. Jesus asked him to give up his work and join Him because Levi knew human psychology well and had some good business habits that would be useful in his future missionary work. Those features of Matthew’s personality gave him an opportunity to make a way to the hearts of sinful and unfaithful people and convert them. In Acts 1:1-15 Matthew is ...

Slavery has been one of the most significant and influential policies in the United States of America. People contemporarily see this as one of the nation’s greatest mistakes, feeling shame for what many people consider to be a grand mistake. Nevertheless, people often do not remember that almost half of the country supported this practice even when the other half had systematically decried and outlawed it. A great thinker by the name of Angelina E. Grimke was one of the most important fighters against this barbaric situation, with her speeches being cornerstones of the emancipation movement. In them, ...

People have various beliefs about God and his existence. These beliefs were formed after human being started to wonder about realities of things around him.

I have had several stories about Hinduism. Since I have never been to any of their services, I expect some if not all of these stories I have heard before to be true or something close to the truth. I am told that Hindus worship or sorts of animals from snakes to elephants. So I expect to see several images of such animals in the temple. I also expect to be segregated since I think I am from a different culture. In terms of prayer, I expect that we will be offering our prayers to one of these gods ...

In this essay, I am going to examine the Five Pillars of Islam. I believe that when we understand other religions and the main practices of these religions, we can break down barriers and come to a better understanding of our religious reality in the world. Further, there are so many stereotypes and so much misinformation regarding Islam, as we have already discussed. Thus, it is my goal, in discussing the Five Pillars of Islam, to show that Islam is a peaceful religion with specific guidelines that guide Islam’s religious adherents, known as Muslims. In the media, we ...

For centuries, the Bible has been one of the most important books for many cultures, including the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims. All these cultures were united by the first books of the Bible, and interestingly enough, they all have pretty much the same understanding and interpretation of the events written in there. But when the New Testament was written, the cultures split. Christianity started to worship Jesus as the only prophet and his Father as the only God. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus’ disciple teaches us how to live a proper life and be in peace ...

A young black woman in her mid- twenties died of cancer in November 2015. Funeral was held at Saint Anthony’s Catholic Church in Southeast Texas.

I did not know what to expect and had only heard that she wanted everyone to wear purple, as it was her favorite ...

Elisha’s question about the father.

“And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over”.

One of the most famous prayers in Christianity, if not in the entire history of the world, is the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6. What is interesting in the passage is that Jesus is going above and beyond simply giving his disciples a prayer; he is also giving them a format by which they should pray. This essay examines the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6. It explores the focus of prayer itself, the relationship expressed through the prayer, the reverence in which God is held, and the requests made by the one praying. Additionally, the righteousness sought ...

In our present time, holy places are primarily in a closed building. It suits the expectations of our current society. People seek comfort in cool air, comfy pews, and embellished statues and windows as they worship. I happen to enjoy that as well. I feel like a holy place can be wherever there are holy people. But if I had the opportunity to build a place of worship centuries ago, it would be way different. The older I get, the more my holy expectations flourish. First and foremost, I do believe that God speaks through nature. I feel that ...

Kobrinsky (2008) stated that negotiation is the act of solving disputes. Power based approach in negotiations aims at winning other than a win-win situation. In most cases, the power-based approach tends to use intimidation, coercion, and status among other aspects associated with one’s positions to discredit the accounts of the opponents and consequently overpower them. However, it is evident that the approach can be risky and costly (Cheng, 2009). For instance, if a school head tends to force a Muslim student to remove the Hijab with disregard to her religion and culture. As a result, the school head ...

Spirituality and Healing

Spirituality permeates so much of our society. It governs our morals, beliefs, and manners of thinking. Much of our personality is shaped from our spiritual views. Our ability to handle situations is also a branch from our tree of spirituality. Each and every person has opinions about the level of control they have over their own life.

They need the rules, the ...

The city of Jerusalem’s history traces back to 5,000 years back, which its relevant across the religions; Christianity, Judaism and Muslim. For the Christians, Jerusalem is where death and resurrection of Jesus took place, for the Jews it symbolizes the temple whereas the Muslims is a symbol, for the Prophet’s journey to heaven. Evidently, Jerusalem serves as a holy symbol to almost three quarter of the world today (Masumder & Sanjoy 386).

Lumen Gentium is the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, as promulgated by the Second Vatican Council, about half a century ago, in 1964 (Weinandy). According to Lumen Gentium Jesus has shared his threefold office, that of Priest, King and Prophet, with the Church and Catholic lay men and women, once the latter get baptized and confirmed (Weinandy). Taking into account that Jesus sanctifies, governs and teaches, one can understand the perceived role of priests, kings and prophets respectively. Analyzing Jesus’ threefold offices, the role of each will become apparent.

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 ...

Health care professionals including nurses, doctors, and clinical officers among others come into contact with patients of various faiths on a daily basis. As such, health providers have an obligation of understanding each of these faiths to provide healthcare to all their patients (Ammerman, 2005).
