Essays on Christ

Words have different definitions according to experience of those receiving the words. The meaning of the words nature has different connotations, and these connotations have changed according to the changing views of society. Thus, the definition of the word “nature” is more fluid than words on a page might indicate. The etymology of the word comes from the Latin “nat,” meaning to be born. This word morphed into the more current - at least in terms of language - “natura,” which has several different meanings. The first meaning of this root is the idea of birth. From a religious ...

A worldview refers to a conception or philosophy of life that is concerned with world meaning. It is any philosophy, ideology, theology, religion, or movement that seeks to offer an overreaching approach to the way humans understand God as well as the world’s relation to God. The Christian worldview encompasses the Christian perspective through which a person views and interprets the world (Weider, 2014). It can also be interpreted as a theory that guides the way a person lives in the world. It is a mental framework of attitudes and ideas about the world. A Christian worldview is ...

There are thirteen Pauline Epistles which are believed to have been written by Paul though some critics claim that some were written by his followers (Matera, Frank 54). However, they are essential parts of the Bible that are studied up to date.

Why they might be pseudepigraphical.

The disputed/Deutero-Pauline Epistles might be pseudepigraphical because they were written by Paul followers. Half of the scholars assert that the Deutero-Pauline Epistles were written by Paul while other claims that they were written by a follower of Paul (Matera, Frank 59).

Why each was written

The letters were written as a continuation of the tradition. In the Biblical times, people did ...

First Thessalonians is Paul’s first letter to the church at Thessalonica which he himself founded. This letter was written while Paul was ministering to the church at Corinth in the accompaniment of Timothy and Silas (1 Thessalonians 1:1). It is not clear about exactly how long Paul spent with the Thessalonians before leaving, but scholarly parlances place this period at around three weeks or three months, subject to different scholars (BTM). Being that Paul had received a number of offerings from the church at Philippi serves as enough evidence for having spent three months at Thessalonica (Philippians 4:16). ...

Abstract

This paper offers an analysis of Christian and Buddhist perspectives George’s case, eventually making a recommendation that his Primary Care Physician should take him through euthanasia. George is an ALS patient in his mid-fifties, who is considering euthanasia as a quick solution to future suffering. However, based on Buddhism consider the fact that there is no need for George to suffer during his last days alive. On the other hand, while they value respect for persons, Christians grapple with the idea that George has no moral mandate to take his life. Nonetheless, an application of these worldviews in ...

Personal Theology of Discipleship

Personal Theology of Discipleship

Introduction

Disciple making is the pinnacle responsibility of any prosperity minded church. The whole aspect starts with attraction of new Christians to a church. The new Christians are then taught and cultivated to be all rounded disciples in the ministry of Christ. There are various theological, philosophical and methodological considerations in this practice to ensure the path to discipleship maturity is conducive and effective. This paper aims at exploring the themes, components and methods applied in discipleship through reviewing various secondary literatures on the issue of personal theology of discipleship. A review of three significant pieces ...

Resolving the dichotomy brings the unity of the church. The primary challenge is how the differences will be resolved. The role of the leadership in addressing these disparities. The leaders should put the right processes in place that will help in dealing with the differences. However, the means alone will not be enough, and it may require discernment of the spirit among us (Shirley, 2008). The Bible reminds that a church will never lack dichotomy and conflicts when they are on a genuine mission of their discipleship. The leadership of the church is left with no option but to ...

Introduction Conscience is one of the most commonly experienced psychological faculty of an individual, but is also one of the least understood. For many years, little attention have been given towards understanding conscience; particularly on how it is shaped and who influenced the modern understanding of this concept. Nevertheless, conscience is an important phenomenon that requires significant attention primarily because it impacts all human judgment. The manifestation of conscience delineates man from other animals species as conscience is proof of man’s self-consciousness; an attribute that is only observable among human species. As a learned psychological faculty, ...

The church gets its disciples from the societies that surround it. In order to get these followers, the church has to convince them of gospel kingdom and make them tailor their ways of life just as it is taught in the bible. Hitherto developed disciples were once naïve and young Christians in the kingdom. Just as the military gets its personnel from a community at large, the church too does. This calling of new Christians into a church and teaching them on how to be true disciples can be seen as a recruitment process. This paper aims at ...

The Epistle to Hebrews is one of the most beautiful parts of the New Testament. While there is no common opinion on its authorship, it is usually attributed to Paul the Apostle The speaker in Hebrews 10 acts as a teacher addressing his message to Jewish Christians who suffered from severe persecution (MacArthur, n.d.). He outlines the benefits of the New Testament in contrast to the old sacrifices (ultimate vs. temporary forgiveness) and urges Hebrews to shore up their faith. According to Mitchell (2007), the message is presented in the form of exposition (10:1-18), suggesting Christ’s superiority to ...

As unique as Judaism and Christianity are within the religions of the modern world in their commonality, they are at the same time diverse. Monotheistic religions, they both share Jerusalem as their birth place. They both share the Old Testament as part of their Biblical foundations. Additionally, they share in having one day of the week serve as their Sabbath. As much as they share they are different. While the Old Testament provides a foundation for what will become Christianity, the New Testament is actually the story of the Christian religion. As Christianity holds the birth of Christ as ...

Objective

The word Passover is the theme of this document, and the document will be written in an expository outline that will be carried out with instances of revelation in the text.

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. ...

It is difficult to make someone believe in something unprecedented, but the church was able to do it. It is difficult to keep the influx of non-believers, but the church was always doing so until the freedom of speech and thought, of course. Many simply believe, without even thinking about religion as such. Religion is a kind of reunion of the broken relationship with God, or lifestyle based on a belief in the supernatural power. Religious ideas, rules, basics are described in the sacred books, which allegedly have been dictated by God. Of course, no one can currently prove ...

Health Care Provider and Faith Diversity: First Draft

Health Care Provider and Faith Diversity Abstract During delivery of healthcare services, providers come across varied cultures and population of patients. 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 ...

The Purpose of Apologetics

The modern word “apologetics” is derived from a Greek word which has the meaning of defending, making a reply in order to give an answer and legally defend. Originally, the notion “apologia” implied a defense in a legal way which was given as a response to the accusation. In its modern usage, apologetics has a wider range of meaning. In its wide scope of meaning, apologetics is a Christian theology branch which aim is to provide the defense of authority of Christianity, divine origin and rational justification of Christian faith claims. The goal of apologetics is to persuade of ...

Many historical recordings document the lives of people who have lived the life that our greatest example, Jesus Christ, spoke that a Christian should live. Many of these people have been leaders. Some have shown themselves not full of avarice, or greed, in keeping with Christ’s rebuke from the scriptures of Luke, and have shown no interest in making the house of God a “den of thieves” (Biblegateway, 2016). The Apostle Paul is a great example of a Christian who happened to be a leader, although he never held a particular office in the Christian Church building as ...

Purpose Statement

1. What have you learned this semester about evangelism as it relates to your Christian walk that has changed your perception and challenged your thinking? There are a variety of important lessons that I have learned this semester regarding evangelism as it relates to my Christian walk. These ideas have profoundly changed my perceptions and challenged my thinking by providing me with a basis for understanding my faith and that of others on a more fundamental level. Not only does an understanding of Christian evangelism help to provide insight into the way in which faith can be instilled and ...

I selected ‘Nature of God’ from World View Chart as it is the key factor of religion. Here the word ‘nature’ means the perception of God in different religions, not the relation between God and his devotees or how God is espoused to act or behave in relation to humans as per different religions. How different religions theorize the nature of God is important. Without studying this factor we cannot understand why there is a conflict between different religions and whether this conflict is natural or misconceived.

What is religion?

Before we analyze different religions we need to have a coherent view ...

Abstract

The documentation of this journey in pastoral counseling of an event is outlined from “Crossroads”, which is based on a set case study of characters. The implementation of F.A.I.T.H. for Solution-based Short-term Pastoral Counseling (SBSPC), along with faith based measures of the counselor in pastoral mantle is the focus of the assessment. As a final report requirement, a counseling initiative for documentation in a pastoral role is required, and has been carried forth. An individual was chosen from the case studies, and all culminating work in this course of study has come to this report. The four F.A.I.T.H counseling ...

Abstract

In a comprehensive, reachable way, Jerry Pipes and Victor Lee share their doctrines, faith, and ideas regarding the bedrock of the Church being situated in the strong pillar of family. Their image of family is both inspiring and pragmatic, concluding in an encouragement toward the building of the family church and the preservation of familial spiritual life. Their book Family to Family: Leaving a Lasting Legacy helps their readers understand that they have to go back to a bold and unyielding proclamation of the truthfulness of the Word of God. It clearly explains the nature of the Church's founding, ...

John Locke wrote ‘The Letter Concerning Toleration’ among all people. At the time, there were diversities exhibited by people especially in matters regarding religions and faith. The letter called for toleration, bearing that Catholicism was taking root and becoming strong in Europe, especially in England. Due to the fact that there were many religions in the world, and all of them claimed to be the most powerful, and have a majority of followers, Locke saw that the only way to a peaceful coexistence would be through toleration of each other, regardless of which faith a person subscribed. Christianity was ...

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 ...

Francesco Bassano’s "The Adoration of the Magi" presents a 16th century depiction of the birth of Jesus and the presentation of gifts to him by the wise men that is accounted in the Bible. The elegant dress of these individuals is made even more exotic by the the way that their bright colors are contrasted with the otherwise dim and dreary atmosphere. The magi, baby Jesus, and Mary are all the primary focus of the picture and demonstrate the homage that the wise men paid to the young savior. Oil on canvas was used in order to depict ...

Introduction

William Blake is a great poet from England who was born November 28, 1757, and died August 12, 1927 (Bentley, 2016). He wrote Songs of Innocence and Songs from Experience (Poetry Foundation, 2016). In this work, William Blake speaks of two animals in opposite ways. The purpose of this paper is to write of the meaning of the two poems and compare each of the poems. The question: What are the likenesses and differences in the poems “The Lamb”, and “The Tyger” that make one poem a poem of innocence and the other poem a poem of experience? Will ...

A Christian marriage is centered on Christ’s teaching unlike other forms of marriages based on legal and secular aspects. The marriage binds two people to live in the image of Christ. Secular marriages are based on vows of legality and other ethical or social attributes acting as norms to the community. Christ does not play a role in their life during and after marriages. In this regard, the Christian marriages do not only define such aspects as the life after marriage but also make recommendations on controversial issues affecting it like divorce. As Cloutier argues, marriage in Christianity ...

INTRODUCING EMERGENCY SEVERITY INDEX (ESI) FOR BETTER PATIENT OUTCOME

Introducing Emergency Severity Index (ESI) for Better Patient Outcome Introduction to ESI The core objective of various triage tools across the emergency department attributes to the systematic prioritization of the patients in accordance with the severity of their clinical conditions in the context of determining the period until which the patient might wait in the emergency department before his/her evaluation by the healthcare professionals (Gilboy et al., 2011). The nurse professional after executing a focused assessment of the patient determines the waiting time and accordingly provides a triage acuity level of the patient in the emergency department. The patient ...

Prometheus Bound by Peter Paul Rubens

Prometheus Bound is an oil painting showing the punishment of Prometheus. It was being painted between 1611 and 1618 by Peter Paul Rubens. This is a joint work including the eagle painted by the animal painter Frans Snyders though Kimball notes that Rubens himself stated to be an original by his own hand (67). The artist himself described his work as “the flower of my stock (Atkins)”. The Greek play Prometheus Bound was the basis of the painting. The painting is a prominent example of Baroque art. It is the central piece in the PMA’s exhibition “The Wrath ...

Nurses have to face different concerns while on duty because they serve different patients from different locations and religions on a daily basis. To address these concerns, a majority of the issues considered as an ideal show that the community has a varied way of looking at everyday existence. The aspect of humanity is quite different from many, yet, they all agree that something higher and more supreme than humanity exists. The acceptance of this differs from one person to the other, an aspect that shows a different way of observing the concept of one’s life. Nurses must ...

1. The historical background of the book of Hebrews An understanding of the book of Hebrews is better achieved when one knowledgeable about its origin and the historical setting from which it was written. As many biblical scholars pointed out, there is a difficulty in interpreting the book of Hebrews because of the missing pieces that are necessary for its precise interpretation. Other than the uncertainty of its authorship, scholars were also uncertain about the intended recipient of the letter, though a closer examination would show that the author has a very close relationship with the recipient and shared ...

First concept that I want to discuss is Garveyism that played exceptional role in the development of Rastafarianism. Garveyism is a philosophy of Marcus Garvey, who is considered to be a visionary and messiah for Jamaican people. Garvey considered that African Americans and other black people – descendants of slaves, who were forcefully moved from Africa, had a right to return to their homeland. Garvey argued that people that do not know their history and past are like trees without roots; and the roots of black Americans were in African continent. He was a charismatic spokesman and leader and managed ...

Hebrews

In Hebrews 2:1-4, this passage of the Bible speaks of our spiritual well-being and the importance of not straying away from the Holy word. It teaches many lessons within this small passage. “The Biblical verse is giving Christians a command, or a duty” (Piper). We will review four various reasons for the exhortation the Bible speaks of. “The first reason focuses on the significant factor of danger when we drift from our salvation and neglect it” (Stroud). It can become possible to depart from the teachings of God so much to the point where it might be impossible for ...

Movie Review: THX-1138

THX-1138, the main character in the film THX-1138, works as a magnum operator in cell 94107. He was literally created to manipulate the magnum along with other people in his society. In general, the THX-1138 movie is one of the best films that the creator of Star Wars, George Lucas, has ever scripted and directed. In 1976, Lucas produced Electronic Labyrinth: THX-113: 4EB, a short film that won various awards and introduced Lucas to movie fans globally (“George Lucas Biography”). The success of Electronic Labyrinth impressed the director of The Godfather, Frances Coppela, who urged Warner Brothers to provide ...

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. ...

Jesus in Writings and Paintings.

Jesus as an Inspirational Figure in the Renaissance Christianity and Jesus have always been central to the development of culture in Europe throughout its history. That does not, however, mean that people’s conception of them both remained static – a fact which has arguably led to some of the greatest artistic and intellectual outpourings the world has ever seen. While the Renaissance is famous for its intellectual outpourings (with Da Vinci being just one of the people famous for this), it is equally famous for its paintings and sculptural works. The ubiquity of religious iconography in both artistic and ...

The Beauty of David

Introduction People are always interested in everything that surrounds them, from the colossal facts and innovations to each insignificant phenomenon and datum. The desire to find answers to all mysteries and secrets of the world is, perhaps, laid in humans’ nature. There is nothing more interesting than the exploration of the ancient history and finding out the culture and walks of life of the distant ancestors. Italy as home of the Roman Empire and the main center of the Renaissance, presents the perfect example of the unique culture that has flourished for centuries. It got the status of the ...

This brief analysis shall examine Derek Walcott’s poem, Crusoe’s Journal. The overall subject of the poem is inspired from Daniel Defoe’s novel Robinson Crusoe, and reflects a tail of British imperialism with the colonizers’ triumphing over the natives. Walcott’s poem takes on a similar tone and style and illustrates the moral difficulties involved within human consciousness. The poem begins with poetic observation into the simplicity of the smallest tools that could possibly be a metaphor for the lives of natives who live the life amongst these tools within simplicity. In support of this point, the ...

The man is a creation in the image of God according to Genesis 1 verse 26-27 including several other instances in the Bible where Man and image of God are in mention. The verse is a big basis for the Christian faith, a sense of pride and more belief in this religion; having a likeness of a supreme God, the creator (Giordan, 2011). The statement that is a direct quotation from the Bible, followers of Jesus and his message are therefore Christ-like considering the exact meaning of the word Christian. There are some people who criticize the issue quoting ...

There are considerable scholars who link relationship adjustment to individual functioning such as personal character and also link virtues to family and church institutions’ functioning and stability. Within this group of scholars, they argue that relationship adjustment is linked to general and marital virtues namely other-centeredness (Cloutier 134). In theorizing the process through which spouses create healthy relationships, scholars must move from the technical concept of functional marriage and look to the successful use of other essential components such as communication skills that largely depend on the virtues and personal character. Virtues are the personal qualities and the character ...

In the ancient years, prior A.D 1054, there existed a single monolithic Christian church. During A.D 1054, there was an excommunication on the idea of the trinity between the patriarch of Constantinople and the pope; this resulted in a great schism (Lynch &Adamo, 2014). The Catholics emphasized on Trinity unity whereas the Orthodox claimed the personhood distinction of the Trinity. The great schism denotes a period in which the single Christian church separated into two core groups: the West Catholic Church and the East Orthodox Church. The two denominations share a significant number of beliefs and practices but also ...

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 ...

Sister Rosetta Tharpe is an inevitable figure in music, especially when it comes to gospel music. Considered as “the Godmother of Rock and Roll”, Sister Rosetta Tharpe played a significant role in the further development of these genres and was a great influence on music stars such as Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Little Richard and many more (Graham, para. 2). Born in Arkansas in the year of 1915, Rosetta was an African-American and was raised by her evangelical mother, Katie Bell Nubin, who was incredibly passionate about the church. In fact, the passion was so great that Katie would ...

Examinations have been administered to incoming freshmen at Louisiana College to determine their understanding of the basic Christianity principles. The Belief Assessment of Spiritual Essentials (BASE) has been designed to evaluate their knowledge on matters of Christianity such as the lost condition of humanity, the identity of Jesus as God, the need to accept Jesus Christ as a personal Savior alongside Christ’s resurrection. The study indicated that most students had the convictions that an individual who was good did not need a savior and could not give a meaning to phrase being born again. Other findings indicate that ...

The very foundation of the Christian fate is the life of Jesus Christ. This is the basic principle by which the majority of all Christian practices and Christian life are based upon. Nevertheless, it is interesting to understand how the leading Christian religions instill this basic principle to billions of members. Upon careful analysis of the religious practices of the Christian faith it became clear that such esthetics were merged with art so that Christians would experience and relate to the abstract teachings of the Christian churches. Perhaps, one of the most abstract or unique teachings of the Christian ...

The Book of Revelation, particularly, its chapters two and three, contains the letters written by John the Apostle to the Seven Churches in the Asia Minor (situated not in the whole territory of the continent, but just in its Roman territory).  These letters were created by Jesus and had to be sent by John. The writings are believed to be appropriate in any time (Barnett, 2004). During the whole period of studying the Holy Script, there were many attempts to analyze the letters from different point of view. Generally, researchers agree that these writings were written for Christian `churches` ...

Comparison and Analysis of the Case of the Exhibition of Andres Serrano and Andres Serrano’s Winning Piece (Piss Christ, 1987)

Comparison In the case of the rejection of Andres Serrano’s exhibition in Australia, there are concerns over Andre’ work ‘Piss Christ’ from several religious stakeholders. A representative of the Australian Catholic has requested the Australian Supreme Court to ban the image claiminghat it is a form a blasphemy that cannot be tolerated by Catholics across Australia. Supporting his arguments with the Summary Offenses Act, Dr. Pell mentioned that Andres Serrano’s work was obscene and indecent to be exhibited in a National Art Gallery. However, certain religious stakeholders on the other hand, believes that the photograph was a ...

Catholicism

Catholicism is a religious denomination that intrigues me by claiming to be a continuation of the early Christian ministry established by Jesus Christ and for the fact that it is far much the oldest Christian group today. It is a combination of several Catholic churches who share common doctrines, theology, and spirituality with the belief that Jesus Christ is the son of God. From my research, I was able to observe clearly all the rituals and rites performed at the Cathedral of Christ the Light Church in Oakland. Most importantly I shared this information with three priests Mark, James, ...

(Tutor’s Name) (Assignment)

Divinity of Christ has been a bone of contention for centuries. This dissension was the key factor that led to Jesus’ sufferings and crucifixion. People who followed him, namely his apostles, believed in Christ’s divinity. Although Christianity as a whole underwent profound changes and took numerous denominations over the past centuries, almost all Churches today agree with the divinity of Christ. The sole purpose of the New Testament itself is to affirm Christ’s incarnation for the salvation of the entire humanity. One who genuinely goes through the Bible will experience Jesus Christ as ...

Peter: the Apostle, the Church Leader, the Epistle Writer.

The Apostle Peter (also mentioned in the Holy Script as Saint Peter, Cephas or Simon Peter) was one of the 12 Saint Christian Apostles and is known for being the early Church leader. Simon Peter is often named the "the greatest Apostle" or "the Apostle of the Apostles", and considered to be the first Pope of the Christian Church. By the ancient churches he was viewed as the greatest Christian Saint. He was among the earliest Christians and adherents of Christ. Being the sincere and devoted disciple, who even was a friend of the God`s Son, the Apostle ...

1. Describe how Amazon’s online marketing strategy is impacting conventional retail stores. What specific advantages do Amazon and other online firms have over brick and mortar department stores? What advantages do local retail stores have over online shopping? Online marketing is enhancing efficiency by lowering the operational and distributional costs as well as increasing the phase of product delivery. The strategy assists conventional stores to transact business with their clients without the need to move from one destination to another. It also allows the business clients to look at the displays and make orders for the items they ...

The ritual of marriage is a very important milestone in the life of an individual and, more so, in the life of an individual who is also a devout Christian. The Scripture often mentions the sanctity of marriage as well as the permanency of it in one’s life. Such descriptions have resulted in a dilemma for particular individuals who, for some unfortunate reason, have had to divorce and remarry. At present, Catholicism does not permit divorced individuals to remarry unless and until they have had their marriage annulled by the Church. While the Orthodox Catholic views on remarriage ...

My life seemed normal until I fell victim to a destructive pathology that compromised my health. What had initially been regarded as disordered eating had become a full blown eating disorder. I suffered for months from anorexia nervosa, and after a while, I began to gradually wither away into a torrid state. I refused to eat, could not sleep, and became a miserable person to be around. It felt as if the joy, light, and laughter that had once colored in my life had been snatched away from me by a terrible predator. Prior to my eating disorder, I ...

Abstract:

Having not always been a Christian, it was a struggle to come to the light and find solace and comfort in Jesus Christ’s life and teachings. There was no guarantee that I would arrive at the peace and happiness that I found once I received Christ into my mind, heart, and spirit. Having been raised in a family that was spiritual, but not religious, I had no guidance to point me in the direction of the faith that would ultimately change my life for the better. It was not until I underwent crucial transformation and metamorphosis of mind ...

Religion has been a topic of debate for centuries. Religion is, in fact, one of the main arenas for wars, and it has been since the beginning of times. When one speaks about religion, it is not only about the spiritual sphere of the person that indeed is important and a holistic approach to education; this sphere has to be promoted for it to develop. The spiritual sphere of the person relates, but it is not equivalent to religion. The reason why I am making this distinction is that, from a Christian perspective, the spiritual sphere of the person ...

Question 1

The physical resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most significant event in history since it provides the evidence that Jesus is really the Son of God who died and was able to resurrect. The resurrection thus validated the fact that Jesus is a supreme being among the mankind. Additionally, the resurrection also proves what the bible talks about since it looked at the resurrection of Jesus even before He came to earth to save the mankind. The teachings of the bible from the ancient period looked at the coming of the messiah who would be executed, crucified, die and ...

The article “One More Time: How Do You Motivate Employees?” by Frederick Herzberg discovers the main drivers for employees to get their real and unique motivation. The main goal is the organization’s productivity and profitability. However, the author focuses on the controversial points of the employee’s psychology of having a job or searching for a new job as the opposite sides of being satisfied with one job as a result of a high extent of dedication, responsibility, and self-interest. At this point, the article is not solely about motivation, but it is about the features of how ...

I Timothy, II Timothy, Titus, Philemon, and Hebrews I Timothy, II Timothy, Titus, Philemon, and Hebrews

Purpose: While Paul had his missionary trip, he instructed Timothy to look after the church. When he understood that he might not come back in for a long time, he wrote this letter to Timothy in order to remind and broaden the charge he had given his young helper (Phillips, 2003).

Key verse(s) and themes of the First Epistle to Timothy:

Context: Audience: the book was not aimed to be read to broad audience. It was written primarily to Timothy to remind about his charges. Issues addressed in the book: This is the ...

In the SCRIPT model of education social responsibility is primarily believing that every student can learn. It requires commitment, which every teacher must have. It includes preparing lessons, working hard, being motivated and knowing how to motivate students. The model also requires from teachers to have a reflective practice which is to have data and proper assessments. Integrity is showing Christ to students. Every student should see Christ in their teacher because the moral and ethical aspects are essential to be good teachers and to education. Finally, professionalism is also part of the SCRIPT model, and it includes arriving ...

Many times Jung found himself seeing strange dreams and visions of another world, full of darkness and emptiness. It reminded him the world of the dead, or the trip to the moon. These psychedelic experiences helped him to discover the depth of his imagination. Through the voyage to the unconscious, Jung draws the connection between religion, psyche and human consciousness. Under the psychic reality Jung understands the experience of human personal unconscious, that is, all its processes, in particular, instinct, imagination, as well as the energy that is present in human mind all the time, from birth to death, ...

In chapter 8 of the book What God Wishes Christians Knew, Gilham gives his views on the new covenant, the role of Christian law in the lives of Christians and the four gospels. He starts off by expressing his interpretation of the new covenant. Gilliam believes the account of the new covenant began in Acts chapter 2 rather than the modern theological thought, Matthew chapter 2. 1 He is of this view for some reasons. First, though Gillham believes that the Bible is inspired of God he does not believe that alterations to verses, chapter divisions made by editors ...

“The Sufficiency of Christ”

Paper Due Date The Beginning One day a man was warned that there were severe storms coming. As the man sat in his living room reading, he heard a ruckus on the street and went to the window. When he looked out, he saw a jeep with rescue workers who called to him to climb in and they would save him from the impending floods. The man declined help, saying, “No thanks. I’m waiting for God.” The flood began by filling the streets and covering the bottom floor of the man’s house, so he climbed the stairs ...
