On November 5, 2009, the son of Palestinian immigrants, Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan randomly fired into a crowd at a processing center at Fort Hood, the largest active-duty military post in the country (Army Major kills, n.d.). One would be hard pressed to find a larger military stage to conduct such blatant murder. Despite the Major shouting ‘God is great’ in Arabic, “Allahu Akbar”, just before he opened fire on soldiers who were either returning from deployment, or getting ready to be deployed, there was a denial by the government to officially label the shooting as an act ...

Meaning(s) of The Passover at First Glance for Old Testament and New Testament of the Holy Bible

In the Old Testament of the Holy Bible, The Passover is usually seen the name of the event during which the children of Israel prepared a meal and offering for their Exodus from Egypt, written beginning in the book of Exodus. Events culminating in the Passover include the following; the ten plagues God placed upon Egypt, the death of the first born being the last of the plagues. ...

Resurrection

Resurrection is a concept that details the return of the dead to life. The most intriguing episode in the New Testament is the death, burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Resurrection is a dominant theme found in the New Testament. For one, it raised extensive opinions emanating from diverse opinions from the different events and areas of the Bible. The argument calls for a natural form of immortality to the soul and the lack of immortality of the body. The spirit lives forever in magnification of the lord's power and magnificence in His actions, favor, and love for ...

The role of the nurse in the contemporary healthcare setting is wide and it transcends beyond the traditional concept of the roles and scope of work for a nurse. Patient needs have diversified in the same way as populations volumes and numbers seeking care have increased. The healthcare system is demanding more from the nurses and it is apparent that nurses have to adapt to these needs if at all they have to assure the patient population of positive outcomes (Fennimore & Wolf, 2011). For nurse managers, the role is even wider. Not only do they have to work closely ...

Introduction

For a long time different scholars have tried to exploit the true dimension of religion. The fact is religion cannot be compared to an objective thing, like a clock or a chair. Geertz (1966) observed religion as “a system of symbols which acts to establish powerful, pervasive, and long-lasting moods and motivations in men by formulating conceptions of a general order of existence” (Geertz, p90 1966). With reference to chapter four of Religion as a Cultural System by Geertz’s (1966), the paper will exploit the role of symbols including the scientology cross in the Church of Scientology.

Introduction

The common denominator that characterizes almost all the great works of the 16th century Hispanic poetry is that they passed through one major place where they sharpened their literal prowess and acumen, the University of Salamanca. The University has proven to be a fertile ground for nurturing of great talents since the times of Renaissance to date, with notable alumni in the fields of poetry, theology and law. The sixth century within the contexts of the Hispanic literature, Renaissance was majorly characterized by academicians, many of them are teachers, poets, lawyers among others and often led lives that were ...

In the contemporary society, living a moral Christian life is difficult, particularly because of the different messages that people receive from various sources, and as a result of the distancing between man and religion. In the context of a chaotic, rushed and often confusing lifestyle, spirituality often loses grounds in favor of practical concerns. Besides, the globalization of today’s developed societies means that people often live in diverse and non-traditional families, that communities become less homogenous and various religions can be found within the same families and communities. In this context, the Christian believer often finds that the ...

In reading the books written by Griffith (2003) and McGuire (2008), a relationship is discussed concerning Institutional religious forms and Folk/Popular religious forms. Institutional religious forms take on a particular variety of belief with a system of doctrine and practice. The Folk/Popular religious form is viewed as a religious study that describes various forms and expressions of religion that are different relative to doctrine and practices. McGuire (2008) gives relevance to the fact that religion can be viewed under the conception of identity and commitment. Boundaries in religion can sometimes feel like the boundaries of a city or country. ...

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 ...

Islam in Saudi Arabia

Introduction. In his book Islam in Saudi Arabia David Commins takes us through the journey of Islam as a religion in Saudi from the eighteenth century up to the twentieth century. Chapter three is titled Wahhabism and the modern state. Wahhabism rose when Wahhab and Ibn Saud signed a pact giving rise to the state of Saudi Arabia. Having been promised power and religious legitimacy by Wahhab, Ibn Saud then pledged to ensure that the teachings of Wahhabism were carried out in the entire Kingdom. In this chapter, we see how subsequent rulers handled crisis through initiating changes like ...

Abstract

In the first half of the XX century many countries were led by the authoritarian leaders with the extreme ideologies. The ideologies such as Nazism, fascism and communism contributed to the creation of the very powerful states with strong economies, but no respect of the minorities, some classes of people or countries. As the result, all of the countries with the extreme ideologies participated in the World War II and only the USSR was able to become a victor. The main purpose of this paper is to show why extreme ideologies became popular in some countries. By means of ...

In Teaching Aliens to Talk John Calderazzo talks about how people tend to ignore things like climate change. The ones who choose to see things only look at the issue long enough to sign a petition or throw money at the problem. Most people do not understand the science behind climate change. This is why there is a large percentage of people who do not believe that it even exists. One of the reason that many people do not have any interest in climate change is the way that it is presented in lectures. Many scientists speak in what ...

Prophet Muhammad was surprised and forced to read what was written, despite his explaining to the angel that he could not read.

He has a second encounter of revelation, except this time it is only the voice of the angel that communicates with the Prophet. Once again the Prophet returns home frightened, ...

The set of doctrines surrounding the consideration of the end of time, particularly with regard to the fate of humanity and the resolution of human history, is the subject known as eschatology. Within the Christian consideration of these concepts, theologians and believers tend to emphasize heaven, hell, death, resurrection and the return of Jesus Christ to this plane. Indeed, such subjects as the rapture of the believers and the last judgment receive considerable attention (Jorgenson 115). Three facets of eschatology --- the Second Coming, the Rapture and the Judgment – come under consideration in this paper, as do the perspectives ...

There have been disagreements all over the world that have led to many wars about various doctrines by different religions. In fact, many war leaders claim that God, meaning that God is always on their side in the wars they fight, supports their arguments. On the records, many wars all over the world occur due to religious matters. Many religious doctrines conflict each other regarding their religious kerygma and faith direction. However, a believer should remain in his or her way of worship, and practice and people avoid the feeling to impose the same on other persons (Esposito 24). ...

Christian Worldview: An In-Depth Insight and Personal Analysis

Worldview as defined by Kenneth Samples is “how one sees life and the world at large” (Samples, 2007, p. 20). From a layman’s stance, it is the perception, understanding, and total assumption of an individual about the things that are around him or her. This paper focuses on Christian worldview, particularly on what it necessarily means and on how everything related to it got the whole focal point of its understanding. In this case, does he Christian worldview evolve based on one’s predicament and change overtime? Or does it stick to its cornerstone principles and continue to ...

Based on How to read the Bible for all its worth

I Importance of proclaiming Gods name in our time, is one of the most highest. The interesting thing that is shown to us in the Bible is about service. There are general rules that we have in the Bible about what we should do. Singing, praying privately and in communion, listen to the preacher to understand Gospel. But the way of doing service and the way how to do church, really had no direct rules, and because of that people are deciding on their cultural tastes the way how to do this. So yes indeed, after church was separated ...

Baptism is an essential aspect of the Christian doctrines as it denotes believers from non-believers. Over the years, it has been subjected to numerous changes but has managed to retain its importance in Christianity. I recently witnessed a baptismal ceremony and made multiple observations on how the event was conducted. After the completion of the ritual, I gathered information on the relevance of this ritual to the believers among members of the congregation. I drew conclusions from the insight generated during the interviews to present an argument about this ritual to the Christians. This paper is a representation of ...

Contact hypothesis is one of the best ways to enhance good relationship among social groups that have been at conflict with one another. This theory states that contact between people of different cultural and racial backgrounds can reduce prejudice (Miller & Brewer, 2013). This theory states that having contact with another person increases understanding because the two individuals can listen and appreciate divergent views. This mutual understanding can helping reducing prejudice. Thus, the occurrence of discrimination, racism, and stereotyping can be managed by having contact with diverse groups. Although people tend to behave differently as per social identities, ...

Muhammad. Born in the Arabian Peninsula in 570 AD, he became the source of the spread of a new religion in Arabia that was bound to reach far and wide areas. Muhammad was born to a prominent tribe named the Quraysh in Arabia. As it was a highly influential tribe, Muhammad was also a well-known member of the Quraysh and his teachings were heard by all far and wide. Muhammad was a trader, and he married a widow Khadijah who was a wealthy merchant and who helped Muhammad immensely. It was in the year 610 AD; it was when ...

Psalms 6:4 David is praying urgently to God to forgive his sins and heal him so that he will be able to live a more empowered, abundant, righteous life. He shows recognition of the fact that he is currently powerless to live a life that is pleasing to God due to the fact that he is weak both spiritually and physically, and this is causing grief to every aspect of his being. So he is pleading with God to have mercy on him and promises that he will show God a great degree of gratitude if God does deliver ...

Introduction

Beowulf, the heroic poem first published in Old English is presently finding a common place in modern media. However, Beowulf is portrayed as one eponymous conqueror who is not only hot headed, but dim-witted as well (Haydock 9). Conversely, in Old English literature, he is depicted as an iconic epitome of social intelligence as well as personal restraint. As much as Beowulf is described as having the power of 30 warriors and crowned on numerous occasions for destroying Herculean monsters, his actions as well as a form of dialogue exhibit both deference and modesty (Allard and Richard 76). In ...

One of the most intriguing and important questions that can be asked by an individual is on whether or not God exists and if there is any way to prove God’s existence. Depending on one’s belief, the responses may be varied on proving the existence of God as being easy or impossible. For the religious believers, such as Christians and Catholics and those of other religious denominations the answer would simply be yes God exists and we humans are the proof of God’s existence. However, from a philosophical or scientific standpoint the answer to God’s ...

Introduction

Society has been distinguishing the concepts of good and evil since the ancient times. So, we can say that it had a specific morality - the system of moral relations, feelings, and consciousness. The morality is the central question of ethics, and still relevant to our society. Among the ethical systems I have learned, there are virtue ethics, utilitarianism, social contract, deontology with goals (Hinduism and Buddhism), deontology with divine authority (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), relativism (individual and cultural), and deontology with a categorical imperative (Kant). So, I would like to say a few words about each of them.

The Book of Revelation has yielded different interpretive possibilities for just about as long as there have been theologians around to read and explain it. This is a book that is filled with mysteries, whether it is the identity of the four apocalyptic horsemen who are supposed to usher in the judgment of God, the timing of the rising of people from the dead for that judgment, and whether Jesus Christ returns before the tribulation of the believers or after -- or whether the 1,000-year reign that the book discusses is literal or figurative in nature. After all, ...

Interviewee’s experience as a patient

Illness can have a devastating effect on a patient in regards to the financial, social, spiritual and emotional sphere (Toombs, 2013). It is a complex phenomenon which can be described as a battlefield for patients since they are fighting for their dear life. This can be an overwhelming experience not only for the patient, but also for the family members, caregivers and to some extend religious leaders. As such, this experience can affect how patients live a normal life during and after treatment since they have to seek medical attention, be away from work, family and adapt a new ...

Introduction

The marriage is an institution of legal relationship between man and woman through the family system according to the divine religions. Both the society and civilization require the existence of marriage with a standard regulation of sexual expression of the married couple. Correspondingly, marital sex is a vital significance in the life of the individuals as it propagates the human life and the society at its dependent fulfillment of discipline. According to Prophet Mohammed, he recommends to his Ummah (Islamic community) the nikah (sex and marriage or marital contract) in Islam stating that “nikah is my Sunnah (a verbally ...

Introduction

The leaders of today currently work in an environment that requires them to be collaborative. This is especially the case in the education sector where leaders are expected to show extreme collaboration in order to achieve the goals and objectives of education. Collaboration means co-labor in order to achieve common goals and often involves working across personal boundaries and exhibiting reciprocities of value. Collaboration requires the crossing of boundaries and establishing trust between different members of a given education setting. It involves joining the assets and resources of different stakeholders of the education setting and using them to ...

Religion influences lives of people very much. It provides them with purposes or becomes a reason for war. Religion defines nations and unifies people. Religion is more than just a set of beliefs and stories that are told from generation to generation. Instead it is a way of living, a code of conduct and framework for human actions. Religion helps to understand, to sympathize and to build relationships of the fair basis. It also provides a society with moral virtues and common traditions. World religions shape the lives of nations especially. Those confessions that have large congregations have major impact not only on a particular ...

William James’ philosophy is known as pragmatism. As the name suggests, this philosophy approaches philosophical issues practically. In other words, the goal of philosophy should be to serve practical ends, according to William James, while on the contrary, the traditional philosophy, according to William James has been largely intellectually stimulating but devoid of any practical value. In context of religious issues, it is not important whether God exists or not or whether the proofs of existence for God are valid or not, according to William James, not just because these debates are interminable but also because they serve no ...

Islamic Environmental Ethics

Introduction The new technological developments increase mobility as well as comfort, but might have major harmful effects to the environment besides risking human health. The harmful effects of technological developments to the environment have resulted in what many have termed as environmental crises. The environmental crises are a threat to human beings as well as other living organisms. The existing evidence shows that the technical solutions have essentially not been resulting in outcomes that are satisfactory. Thus, it is critical for us to know how we should behave towards the environment. It is worth mentioning that, among the theoretical ...

Faith is an important component of belief. A belief develops only when one has a strong faith upon a certain concept. Different people hold different beliefs; therefore, the question of a true believer arises. Eroc Hoffer identifies the true believer as an individual who relies solely on the knowledge obtained from scriptures and draws conclusions from the scripture rather than personal observations or experiences. The true believer also does not relent to face the society’s cruelty. This paper focuses on the actions of Simone Weil using Hoffer’s definition of a True Believer to establish whether Weil qualifies as a true believer. Hoffer ...

The confessions of Saint Augustine take us through the life of transformation for a Christian. The time comes in the life of an individual to make crucial decisions for his or her life, which maybe contrary to their previous believes. As a child grows, they learn a lot from their parents and more especially the mother, who happens to be close most of the times. However, as the child brows, he/she is exposed to a different environment with more compounded influences. For instance, Augustine grew up in a Christian background with his mother imparting Christian values into his life. The time came when he ...

Introduction

Theologically speaking, the nature or concept of God and beliefs or practices differ based on religious doctrine. In some cases, some religious groups base or borrow their doctrines on established ones or from known mythological narratives. This is especially true for cult groups that establish their significance on symbolism that is familiar to most people. Heaven’s Gate set an example because it is a cult that formulated its doctrines from pre-established canons such as those found in the Holy Bible infused with elements of science fiction. The result of which is a reinterpretation of the Bible within the context of ...

Abstract

Despite receiving little attention from many, the subject of Pentecostal soteriology continues to confuse majority of the congregation with a few of them having little insight, if any on matters of the Holy Spirit and baptism. Often these subjects are tackled by church ministers who often suffer from prejudice, sometimes lacking the expertise to interpret scripts from the bible. Previous studies also do not offer convincing enlightenment on the same subject. Following this trail, this paper refers to some prior studies and continues to guide the reader through a journey on the study of the Pentecost along with its integration to ...

Song of Solomon is one of the books that have been mistaken by most bible readers who interpret it differently from its initial intended revelation. Song of Solomon is a book that speaks of true and pure love that a married couple shows to each another. Most people take it literally to show the blossoming love life between Solomon and the queen of Sheba. Even though that was the context that Solomon used to write the scripture, it has a very different meaning that relates to the love that Christ has for the church, his bride.

2. Relationship between storytelling and religion in Life of Pi With one voice, logicians and researchers through scholarly history have avowed the key relationships that exist between storytelling and religion. Basing on the relationship exuded between storytelling and religion, Martel wants the readers to emancipate the Life of Pi through a contemptuous perspective, whereby they can decide to have faith in it at the desired rate, almost as one can choose to trust in God because it is a common stance in the society (thesis). The young man, Patel, grasps this motivation in different sectors. He turns into a devotee of ...

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 passed over ...

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 ...

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 ...

Today, it can be safely said that there are many forms of government that a country that is aspiring for a charter or a constitutional change can choose from. There is democracy, oligarchy, dictatorship, monarchy, constitutional monarchy, federation, among others. It may also be important to mention that the classification of the different forms of government can be based on different categories. For example, the classification can be based on the distribution of power or structure of power (as in the case of confederations, federations empire, unitary states, and hegemony), the source of power as in the case autocratic, and democratic types ...
