THE DEITY AND HUMANITY OF CHRIST

Introduction: A Theological Mystery
That Jesus Christ is God and, in the same time, man is an idea many people do not believe in. To some, Christ is just a normal man, who became a great religious leader of Judaism and Christianity. For instance, the heresy of Iconoclasm that started during the Byzantine Empire taught that Christ the God could not depicted, and that the pictures of Christ can only show Jesus the man and so were not suitable objects for faith and worship. To some, God sent His spirit to possess a human being already born on earth. For many ...

John Donne’s poetry reflects a deep image of religious elements and most of his sonnets are the combination of both Catholic and Protestant. In “The Flea” and “Show Me Dear Christ” John Donne also uses religious imagery. He expresses in implicit way this tactic. HHHHis early poem “The Flea” implies the concept of sexual love; furthermore, it exemplifies unconventional metaphor by which the flea bites two lovers, who are compared on the basis of sex. Moreover, we see a woman trying to resist sexual advances. The speaker with the help of the flea was trying to convince her that the ...

I. INTRODUCTION: A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE BRITISH EAST INDIA COMPANY
Upon looking at the history of the British East India Company in India, there can be little doubt that much of Britain’s superior ability to colonize areas of Africa, Asia, and the Americas was due in large part to the success and power of the British East India Company. In its heyday, the British East India Company commanded immense amounts of political and economic power in England, Britain, and abroad; however, its initial beginnings were much more humble. Initially, the East India Company was founded by ...

The Christian movement begins in Jerusalem as a minor sect of Judaism that gradually separated from the beliefs of Judaism to spread quickly in the Roman world. Eventually, Christianity emerges as a formidable religion compared to other religions in the day long before the emergence of Constantine. Christianity is the first religion to receive support from the state (Barnes, 2010). This enables the religion to become a crucial force in the barbaric period. The role of historical Christianity in the first seven centuries is to absorb elements of ancient civilization and channel them to the middle Ages (Stark, 2006).
Christianity expresses a ...

There are not many philosophers in history as influential as Saint Thomas of Aquinas. His works have influenced western philosophy for centuries and found a way to conciliate theological thought and reason. He was a man of his age, one who followed tradition and sought nothing more than to remain faithful to Christ and his church, but knew how to introduce long rejected philosophical systems that were considered contrary to the interests of the clergy. This work is gives an account of the life of Thomas of Aquinas, his academic works, his philosophy and the impact he had on the western ...

Does God Exist

Does God Exist
Wars have been fought in the names of deities, maladies and weather patterns have caused humans to cry out in praise and condemnation of the divine, and through all that has been endured since the beginning of mankind’s reign the presence of a higher power has always been present, if not in deed then in thought. There has always been that burning need to believe in something, to strive for an answer to life that cannot be grasped by human understanding alone, but must instead be taken on faith where reason does not extend. This ...

Introduction

Eid al-Fitr is one of the two most important festivals of the Muslim faith that is celebrated during the month of Ramadan. According to historians, the event has been celebrated by the prophet Mohammed, himself, when he was still alive. Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, a month-long fasting wherein Muslims reflect and assess their spiritual lives in terms of the virtues taught by Mohammed. The purpose of this paper is to know how Muslims celebrate Eid al –Fitr and to determine why it is considered as one of the most important festivals of the Muslim faith.

Pluralism is the notion that reality is comprised of several components. It basically postulates that there is more than one alternative to any problem. Hence, there is no such thing that is perfect or absolute and everything is relative in terms of the other. Cultural pluralism stands for the validity of diverse cultures. As Slick (n.d.) points out, this idea contradicts the teachings of the Bible that there is one almighty God (Isaiah 43:10;44:6; 45:5) and that Christianity is the truly revealed religion.
Charles Haynes (1994) had once said, “How will we live with our deepest differences?” ( ...

Jewish Reform and Conservative Movements

Aside from Christianity and Islam, Judaism can be considered one of the oldest religions still practiced and worshiped today. Its history traces back since the early centuries and like Christianity and Islam, Judaism is known for its monotheistic faith. Much like its counterparts, Judaism has grown significantly throughout the years, establishing societies and communities adhering to the laws subscribed by its sacred text. However, as years progress, there are instances where some of the religion’s traditions and customs are clashing with the modern times. Some Jews recognized this problem and proposed for changes in the faith, but others ...

1.0 Introduction
Today, plurality of religion is the fact of life, and must be accepted as such (Pachuau & Jorgensen, 2011). Almost everyone have their own views on religion, perhaps as varied as the sands in beaches or the stars in the sky. Globalization and technology have brought nations and culture closer; different perspectives of life, rarely compatible approaches to living. In this one global village, Christ continued to call all Catholics to be missionaries to His people.
Christians are called to treat people of any faith, even those of no faith, with genuine respect in their act ...

The Khalsa is also known as the Guru Panth (Jacobsen, 2011). It a collective body of all Sikhs who have been initiated represented by five Sikhs who are referred to as the five beloved ones. Khalsa can be translated to mean free and it refers to a state of being genuine and pure among the Sikhs. The Khalsa was at first inaugurated by a Guru by the name Guru Gobind Singh on Baisakhi day (30th of March in the year 1699). The guru baptized five Sikhs and then asked the five Khalsas to baptize them also. The Guru then baptized thousands of ...

Literary Criticism:

Before Matthew 17:1-13, the previous passage (Mathew 16) is about the confession of Peter and the Christ's Church. The passage is about Lord's warning to his disciples to be away from the temptations of Pharisees and Sadducees “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” This was the warning given to the disciples by Jesus. Here Jesus uses the word “Yeast” or “Bread” symbolically. The concepts are associated with the false teaching of Pharisees and Sadducees. 'Pharisees and Sadducees were notorious for their disagreements, especially over the doctrine of the resurrection; Pharisees taught that Sadducees ...

INTRODUCTION

Throughout history there are lists of important, significant, and contributory figures that have made a unique impact on the world, for better or worse. For many people the most important figures are world leaders or great thinkers, but for many, the most important historical figures, whose contributions are most significant, are religious figures who have earned a place within the iconography and mythology of those particular religions. Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) is one such figure. This nun in service of the church is also remarked as a writer, composer, thinker, early feminist and prophetess; all of which is atypical of women in ...

In her own way, Flannery O’Connor appears to have been notorious in literary circles for much the same reason as Tim Tebow’s isolation within the National Football League: her zeal for her faith caused others to view her with more than a bit of superstition. Patricia Highsmith, author of The Talented Mr. Ripley and other novels, tells a story when O’Connor was describing a knot that had a resemblance to the face of Jesus. After that comparison, Highsmith decided that she did not like O’Connor (Vafidis, web). However, for those who know O’Connor principally through her fiction, her ...

It looks odd to talk about sociology when talking about the religious beliefs of a particular group apart from specific norms that are advocated by particular traditions. It is what this paper seeks to address. The paper seeks to look at the way in which the models are connected with the religious beliefs and how they relate to the social norms.
Before going further, it should be understood that not all religious beliefs entrench themselves in a supreme being. Not all the religious beliefs include worship, and not all of them have an ethical code of conduct. Not all the ...

Catholic theology views the sacraments as a Divinely appointed vehicle through which Christ’s grace is bestowed upon believers who reach out in faith. Based on its traditions and teachings, the Catholic Church regards the sacraments as more than mere symbols because Christ himself is the author of this system of dispensing grace. According to Kennedy (1912), sacraments, properly understood, “do not merely signify Divine grace, but in virtue of their Divine institution, they cause that grace in the souls of men.” In order to be valid, all seven sacraments must contain three vital elements, those being “the outward sign; ...

The epistles or the letter of the New Testament that were not written by Paul the apostle were done by one James. Who gave direction on the concept of faith relative to the Christian faith (Bauckham, 1979). From the outset, James is identified as a follower who was converted to Christ after the preaching and vein of Paul the Apostle (New International Version, 2014). From the face value, one easily discerns and notices the apt nature in which the Bible and this books in specific strives to articulate and bring to the fore. It also estbalih the practicability and applicability ...

Summary of the Employment-at-Will Doctrine

The employment-at-will doctrine is the basis for employer/employee relationships in most states in the United States. In essence, employment at will gives business and companies in America the ability to fire an employee whenever they want for any reason. The only exceptions to the employment at will doctrine is when it occurs illegally, in violation of public policy for the state or municipality under which the company or branch is run. Other exceptions include implied contracts, in which oral assurances are made between employee and employer to build certain expectations of employment, illegal discrimination against race, color, age or ...

An unknown author wrote a morality play named ‘Everyman’ during the late fifteenth century. It is largely believed by historians that some monks or priests would have written this play.
Generally, morality plays were regarded as a collaborative effort by the clergymen and inhabitants, typically the tradesmen and the society members of the English town. With the passage of time, lines in the morality plays would get transformed, new ones added, and even the old ones get deleted. Thus, Everyman is perhaps the result of numerous authors and eras of literary progress.

Introduction

The religion Islam was established by the prophet Muhammad in Arabia. From then on, this religion has grown and continues to spread to its neighboring countries like Syria and other parts of the continents such as America, Europe, and Asia. There are currently about 1.2 billion people who are Muslims. Islam is regarded as the second largest religion after Christianity. This religion is often compared with other religions such as Judaism and Christianity, in terms of its origin, teaching, and beliefs. Conversely, there are characteristics that differentiate Islam from other religions as well as beliefs that make people across ...

One of the earliest questions that arose in Christian culture was whether or not believers should even avoid sin. After all, if the purpose of Christ's sacrifice on the Cross was to free humanity from the eternal burdens of sin, what is the point of living an ethical life? The thief hanging on one side of Jesus at Golgotha received admission into heaven simply for declaring his belief in Jesus, right at the end of his life. Before that, he had clearly spent a life living far from the teachings of Christ; otherwise, he would not have received a death sentence ...

Further, prayer is the common spiritual practice in most of the faiths or religions such as Buddhism, Christianity, and Sikhism. In this paper, the Baha’i and Buddhism faith on the healing ...

Spiritual Gifts are the ultimate gifts for Christian believers. There is a unvarying religious debate going on the existence of spiritual gifts. The debate is basically on the consistency of these (charismatic) gifts. Without God’s grace, human being is incomplete. Rather human life itself is a precious gift given by the Almighty. And this gift (human life) is given to mankind to attain a certain duty on the earth. These duties are like the mission. Spiritual gifts are the source of inspiration from Almighty Lord to human being to live a life with the mission. The gifts signify God’s wills that ...

Religion in China and Japan

China and Japan have often been hailed as Asia’s pioneer nations when it comes to their overall development, contribution to history and rich tradition and culture, which not only transcended to nations they made contact with, but also featured the unique ideologies that shaped their respective nations. While both nations today are at odds in several key issues on politics, territory and even in ideology, their religious movements remained the same despite the changing world that challenges these beliefs. For the uninitiated, they would claim Chinese and Japanese religion is one at the same considering they share several ...

During the height of the Protestant Reformation, in which Martin Luther and a number of other religious scholars and theologists took radical steps away from the Catholic Church, many different interpretations of the Gospel came along to offer alternatives. However, while this was happening, a somewhat independent development was occurring in John Calvin’s own efforts; he worked to formulate a particular religious ideology that would soon come to be known as Calvinism. Due to this unique perspective on the Scriptures, and the radical changes that he would bring about in the way the Church worked, John Calvin would become vital to ...

In stories about the interactions between gods and man, faith is often a major component of the story – this is most especially true in the Greek myth of Theseus, the Athenian hero and adventurer who achieved great deeds and slayed many monsters in his time. Theseus’ story is expanded upon and altered for the 2011 film Immortals, directed by filmmaker Tarsem Singh, turning his original tale of overall adventuring and derring-do into a dark tale of revenge against the mortal king Hyperion. The use of faith as a theme in Immortals is effective, despite its changes to the overall Theseus myth, as ...

A miracle cannot be explained with the laws of sciences or the ordinary human understanding, attributed to supernatural forces that exist in the world. The Bible provided GOD’S teaching, instructions and His will on humankind. The performance of miracles started in the Old Testament with the prophets and believers such as MOSES who were anointed by GOD to lead the children of Israel. GOD proved HIS existence to the people through performing miracles that an ordinary man would not perform. Those who doubted the existence of GOD in the Old Testament were convinced that there was a true GOD ...

Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground

In self defense, the basic philosophy is that the amount of force to ward off the threat must be proportionate to the force that was being threatened to be used. In essence, lethal force is only permitted to be used in cases in stopping the infliction of grievous bodily harm that can result in possible death, the death of the person or loved ones, or rape or “sexual assault” in Michigan. The person using deadly force legally must possess a reasonable belief that by using such force, one if not all three of these scenarios will be prevented, and ...

- Introduction of the religion
The Catholic Church was instituted by Jesus Christ. The word “Catholic” means “universal” (Norman, 2007). “Love Godand love your neighbor” (Mark:12:29-31, The New American Bible). These phrases sum up the teachings of Jesus Christ which Catholics make as their guide as they live their lives following Jesus. At present, the Catholic Church is headed by Pope Francis from the Vatican. The pope is the vicar of Jesus here on earth. The leaders of the Catholic Church are the bishops and priests. They are tasked to spread the teachings of Christ and manage parishes, ...

Paul relays that Abrahams’ authenticity was deemed to him as rectitude (Rom 4:3-22). The starting point for him being reckoned as righteous was due to his believed in God even before he was circumcised. Initiation was a symbol of God’s covenant to him, because his uprightness was relayed through his authenticity a while before there was edict though still uncircumcised.
Abraham is deemed as the father of scores of nations. Paul puts down concerning the candidness of Abraham (Rom 4:1-16). His faithfulness towards God made him to become the first righteous person. Abraham existed long prior to Moses, whom ...

The presidential doctrines were introduced during the Cold War. The doctrines explained what the presidents stood for during this time of the war. President Harry Truman defined the United States foreign policy and how it applied to it being a super power. The content of the speech of the president to the congress is believed to have been the major cause of the Cold War. His speech is believed by historians to have led to the U.S being able to contain the war. The president was quoted as saying that he believed that it was the U.S ...

Periodically throughout the last two millennia or so, Pagans, or followers of classical polytheisms found themselves facing oppression or persecution. As the influence of Christianity grew, the term “pagan” was used to broadly describe any non-Christians. Attempts to suppress Paganism successfully erased many Pagan rituals and demolished or covered sacred sites, but early Christianity was far from uniform between different regions and different blendings of Paganism and Christianity occasionally emerged. Examining varied pagan traditions and beliefs and understanding the interaction between Paganism and Judaism and Christianity and Paganism when Christianity was a young religion allows greater insight into some traditions ...

The United States of America continues to grapple with insecurity. The position, since the 9/11 attacks, has been that of a cautious approach to matters of security. Interestingly, the threats of security are not limited to terrorism only. Criminal activities have increased with cases of violence, rape and assaults, among others on the rise. It is on that premise that the nation has had to address the security issues and undertake measures aimed at protecting the citizenry. At the federal level, legislations relating to terrorism and gun control (Patriot Act, among others) have been adopted. In the same light, states ...

Maimonides was born into a rabbinic family made up of scholars and he was first taught by his father. Maimonides displayed a lot of interest in theology whereby he wrote a paper on proper usage of linguistic of theological terms. Due to political conflicts in Spain, Maimonides together with his family escaped to Egypt after facing persecution from the puritanical Almohades. In ...

The Catholic Intellectual Tradition is a way for those who value religion and reason to combine the two (McGreevy). There always seems to be some sort of opposition between sciences, liberal arts and Catholic tradition. The CIT provides the context of meaning for Catholic education where knowledge is seen as not self-gained or even constrained. This means that the outcome produced is not solely from religion but is gathered from scientific and critical inquiry and complimented by deep-seated principles of faith. This means that the overall outcome is complemented by real appreciation with respect for the human person. Creativity and ...

As a dramaturge in seventeenth-century France, Molière effectively uses a number of literary techniques to criticize religious hypocrites. Under the strict regime of absolutist Louis XIV, Molière wrote plays primarily for the king. However, being a natural dissident, he disguised critique through satire. The play, Le Tartuffe, has become a household name, and the word “tartuffe” has become a common word in French, meaning “hypocrite”. In this play, Orgon, the head of a noble household, is blinded and swindled by a religious hypocrite, named Tartuffe. Tartuffe manages to treat Orgon’s family with disdain, and disrespect, even to the point of attempting to seduce ...

Shakespeare’s Macbeth is one of the great tragedies of English literature, featuring ambitious characters undone by their own lust for power, and the struggle between destiny and choice. Like many stories, Macbeth has many elements of the Joseph Campbellian Hero’s Journey, where a character must come from humble beginnings and follow a certain path to his destiny. Furthermore, Macbeth features one of literature’s greatest temptresses – Lady Macbeth – whose own ambition causes Macbeth himself to make the many tragic mistakes he will make over the course of the play. The supernatural also plays a role in Macbeth, as the three ...

Justification is the chief article of Christian faith in scripture upon which all others stand or fail. The doctrine of justification is a document that was created and agreed to in 1999 by the Lutheran World Federation and the Catholic Church’s Pontifical Council for promoting Christian Unity (Stoll, n.d). The core of the document is an agreement that churches share a common understanding as evidenced by justification by the grace of God through the faith that Christians have in Jesus Christ (Newman, 1840). A firm understanding of the doctrine of justification is essential for the understanding of the Christian faith ...

Please read about Thomas Aquinas’ “The Existence of God” and Richard Dawkins’ "The God Delusion.” Relate the two articles to your understanding of God and faith. If you believe in God, is faith in God incompatible with a belief in evolution or science? How would you support your position? How do you think Thomas Aquinas may have responded to Richard Dawkins if he were alive?
As human beings, we have the capacity to use our reasoning to come up with some supposedly plausible conclusions. That’s is exactly what Aquinas did by presenting five arguments/claims to support his thesis ...

The history of American foreign policy is closely linked with the history of the Monroe Doctrine.

Believe is the genesis of faith, it is mostly the feeling that something exists even when one can’t explain of its existence. Since time immemorial, the ancient communities believed that there was a supreme being exists. This was long before people knew about Jesus or even preached about God. This shows how the conscience of people made them feel that this world was controlled by a very powerful being. May be this is due to some happenings and existence of things that are beyond human understanding. It is evident that believe in God started long before civilization with the early ...

Karl Bart is often called to be the modern "father of the Church" and is included to the list of the most famous theologians in the history of Christianity. Future generations will not stop talking about him as nowadays we talk about Augustine and Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, and Schleiermacher. “Barth is distinguished from neoconservatives like Neuhaus, with their apology for the satisfactions of capitalism, and aligned in social intent with latin American liberation theologians like Gutierrez and Segundo”(Hunsinger 5). It will be appropriately to say that as well as Schleiermacher dominated the theology of the XIX century and ...

How Persecution Lead to the Early Church’s Growth

Throughout the history of the Catholic Church, persecution is a familiar face especially in its early years. The Bible, for one, had reflected as to how persecution shook the foundation of the Early Christians from the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament to the Book of Revelations in the New Testament. While the stories have varied in its severity on how Christians have been persecuted, it is notable that they continued to grow in small communities and eventually turned into communities still present in the period despite the torture and hardship they have faced while spreading the word of ...

Academic study of the New Testament (NT) excluding Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John sees the influence of Luke in Acts perspective of the divinity of Jesus and Paul's epistles provide his perspective. Reading Luke is critically similar to reading Acts when it comes to the perception of the divinity of Jesus. The early Christian literature of the Acts of the Apostles and the Pauline letters in particular, reflect specific ideas about Jesus and continue spurring debate on the divinity of Jesus, the Son of God, Jesus the man, and Jesus the Christ.

The main four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John provide four views of the divinity of Jesus. Through the interpretations of Bible scholars, these gospels reveal specific and intentional narratives of the story of Jesus and do so with different underpinnings to substantiate the view of the divinity of Jesus for the purpose of the writer. It is only through the historical sense of the biblical scholar interpretations does any sense of these main gospels handling of the divinity of Jesus have any understanding based upon scripture.
The scholarly handling of biblical scripture of the New Testament ...
