Essays on Genesis

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 ...

Introduction

The thesis paper will reveal that Galileo’s notions of the sun’s stability and the earth’s movement illustrate the conflicting Science-Religion theory. Galileo supported Copernicus’s opinion about the sun’s stability and the movement of the earth strongly despite strong oppositions from the Holy Church. Although he depicted aspects of honesty concerning the opinions of the sun and the earththroughout his trial, the Holy Church still held otherwise and commanded to oppose his opinions.

Summary

Different people from various backgrounds hold diverse beliefs on the origin of the world. Lewis, for instance, had the belief that the root of the world was from the darkness and beautiful distant sounds like those that emanate from far away singers. The Ohlone individuals in San Francisco believe that the head being was Coyote who created the world. The people influenced by Genesis hold that the world came being from the fall of refinement. Bestowing to the Pomo on the other side, a tribe in Northern California, the sphere was molded when a god set rolling the wax ...

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 ...

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTIONS AND MORAL DISENGAGEMENT

Abstract New intuitions into the genesis and impacts of entrepreneurs’ immoral measures can be obtained through observation to moral disconnection, a cognitive system that disables the self-regulatory process that prevents humans from actions, which are variable with their personal moral values (Gladston, 2016, p. 102). Outcomes that are acquired with a specimen of Chinese enterprises indicate that the trader’s motivation for monetary victory is linked positively to moral disconnection and that similar disengagement, alternately, is linked positively to unethical resolutions. However, enthusiasm to attain self-realization is not connected to either unethical decisions or moral disengagement (Siltaoja & Lähdesmä ...

Introduction Vampires are mythical creatures that appear in ancient folklores. Most cultures have their own version of the vampire although they share a common characteristic; that is, the lust for human blood. There is no particular gender to the vampire character. Male and female vampires do exists even in ancient literatures, making the vampire one of the most gender neutral characters. The depiction of the female vampire in human culture, however, is an interesting way of looking into the development of women, particularly on how society views women and their social status over the course of time. ...

Paul, as a theologian, developed key concepts that continue to define doctrine and 

practice for Christians and the Church. In the Epistles Paul emphasized and clarified the issue of salvation.  Mainly, it can be seen in Romans, where he showed us that way salvation may be found through  justification, sanctification, and glorification. When speaking about definition of salvation, then according to the Bible dictionary it is: the application of the work of Jesus Christ to the life of people.

Paul sees Lord as righteous and understands that humans are unholy, which is the 

cause he gives us a way through salvation in three abovementioned aspects:

We are justified through Jesus by faith.

We are sanctified through liberation from sin. We will be glorified one day and we will live with Him in heaven. ...

Sexuality and Christianity - often these two topics are opposed. This is not surprising because the negative attitude towards sexual relations and sex-phobia, fear in relation to sexuality, negative attitudes towards sexuality accompany the entire history of the Christian churches. One theory of the fall of humanity says that the sin of Adam and Eve was that they have entered into a sexual relationship. (Kamitsuka, M.D., 2010, p.26) In turn, the Christian asceticism tried to instill in Christians a feeling of contempt for their own corporeality (by the way, another theory Fall states that "leather garments" that God gave ...

Abstract

The worldview of a person is their view and understanding of their entire existence, including the world they live in. Religious beliefs reflectcolor a person’s worldview very strongly. In a comparative look, Christianity and Sikhism have some commonality as monotheistic approaches to the world, in the necessity for moral and ethical behavior that is good, in seeking truth, and in serving an all-knowing God Wwho imparts some of that knowledge to mankind. However, there are noticeable differences in beliefs about death and afterlife, human definition, and the meaning of human history. These beliefs structure their worldviews ...

Reading the book of Genesis, we can clearly determine the following motivations, such as the motivation to do the right things as then you will be rewarded tenfold (Fruchtenbaum 2009, Gen. 4:2-8), motivation of action due to fright (Fruchtenbaum 2009, Gen. 19:2-5), motivation due to temptation (Fruchtenbaum 2009, Gen. 22:1), motivation to have followers by his own image rule over all living things on Earth (Fruchtenbaum 2009, Gen. 1:26-31), motivation for the man not to be lonely (Fruchtenbaum 2009, Gen. 2:18-21), motivation to break the rules due to being seduced (Fruchtenbaum 2009, Gen. 3:4). All these motivation have one ...

Human beings tend to always want to take the Bible as it is, in that they tend to always want to take whatever that has been written to be the gospel truth. However, when one logically takes the writings and wordings of the Bible, it will be impossible for one to say that every statement and verse in the Bible is the true word for word. The Bible is said to be God’s revelation to human beings and it is meant to stipulate how we are supposed to carry out ourselves. However, taking each and everything as it ...

I. INTRODUCTION The current use of the North-South divide in demarcating global Christian religion is not new. It originated as an economic and political convention to distinguish the First World and the Second World in the North and the Third World in the South. Thus, the churches in the North include the churches in North America, Western Europe, and the developed part of East Asia; while the churches in the South comprise the churches in Africa, South America, and the rest of Asia, including the Middle East. However, the demarcation line can arbitrary depending on the institution that creates ...

In the pursuit to explaining the creations, mankind has developed theories and beliefs to feed the curious minds. Transcendence is an important concept at understanding the theories and beliefs.

Contemporary capitalism can be termed as a concept that mainly lingers on the around Marxism in regards to the ‘periodization’ of capitalism. According to Streeck, the long debates that hint contemporary capitalism aim to bring huge changes in the basis of social reproduction.

This paper aims to give an insight on the paradigms that make up capitalism. In the same order, it explains the available alternatives that exist to ...

The construct of free will was studied and it was determined that the theory of undefined free will has conventionally been rejected and/or neglected in the theory of counseling and in the field of psychology; however, in the moral arena, the freedom of self-determinism and freedom of indeterminate free will are mutually exclusive concepts. From another perspective, indeterminate free will can also be perceived to be unidirectional, acting in the direction of self-violating, negative behavior, leading to immoral behavior (Wilks & Ratheal, 2011). Whenever an individual becomes self-absorbed, there is not consideration for anyone else even if that self-absorbed individual ...

The Response of the Victorian Churches to Charles Darwin’s Doubt

Pitch Contrary to the perception of the Victorian Era as one of the highlight of English Christianity and even morality among societies, the situation was not so behind closed doors. The people were beginning to question the Biblical inspirations and teachings based on Christian doctrines that had otherwise defined their existence and faith for centuries. Accordingly, the sources of doubt were twofold: there was a rapid development of biblical criticism, and the scientific discoveries were challenging cultural norms. Perhaps there was no original sin. Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution presented an alternative for the European societies of the ...

Introduction

Human being is nothing but God’s creation. God has given guidance to the human beings through Holy Books so that they can lead their lives in the direction of those who are on the righteous path. Genesis is one of them, which reveals God’s message. God tests His creature no matter that he is a trivial human being or His messenger. Genesis has a chapter in which God’s test story has been discussed. The chapter is not a myth but it is the ‘Word of Almighty God.’ Isaac is the messenger of God and this chapter ...

Some cities were imagined, designed and created wholly or partially in a way that forever provided shape for their histories and identities, governments and religions as well as for the economies of their citizens. An example is the great city of Jerusalem. Whatever they were or however they developed later in time, the details of their foundation, along the momentous and monumental contractions that redesigned or redefined various sectors within them make them case studies in the historical processes that surround cities as well as their regional and continental effects. The paper attempts to identify the evolution of Jerusalem ...

Myths have been around longer than just about every other form of literature. From the beginning, it is clear that humanity has wanted some sort of explanation for the way the world works, and myths have long served that purpose. Whether it is the myth of Apollo driving his chariot across the sky each day to explain the bright light that traverses the sky (and to provide some sort of comfort that the gods are running things, even though the Greek gods certainly were not the benevolent sort) or the myth of Hades and Persephone’s twisted love that ...

Psychology is the scientific study of how the mind works and how people chose to act.

(Feldman & Dinardo, 2009, p.5) Psychology encompasses many areas of analysis: how people feel, how people act, how they learn, how they are driven, and how they think. Understanding why people behave the way they do can benefit people in many areas of life. If you know why someone does something it is easier to find a way to get them to do it. The reverse is also true that if you know the cause of someone’s behavior you may be able to find the remedy to stop that behavior. This field of study is extremely useful in working ...

Introduction

The bearing of the Saudi Arabian-Iranian disputes dates back to the 1970’s when religious extremism took center stage, and as such embroiled the relationship between the otherwise two powerful states constructed on rich religious backgrounds (Fürtig, 2002). The greater intolerance and religious extremism continue to jeopardize the prospects of having stronger international ties between the two states that had once shared cordial international relations, and who were once bound by common religious doctrines. The Iranian revolution of the 1979 is all to blame for the emergence of this war, whose effects had far reaching consequence to the ...

Summary of Cornel West Race Matters.

The concepts of race and ethnicity appeared to be one of the key concepts in quasi-scientific theories and typologies in human communities. In modern sociological theories, race, along with gender, age and physical abilities, creates the core social inequalities. The article provided is divided into two parts. The first chapter is named as ‘The pitfalls of racial reasoning’ and the second one talks about the crisis of black leadership.

Compare the Biblical doctrine of creation with the 20th-century scientific explanation of the origins of the universe (e.g. the “Big Bang”). Your comparison should include some assessment of the ultimate compatibility or incompatibility of the two teachings In today’s world there are as of now two broadly acknowledged exploratory speculations clarifying how planet earth was shaped. Creationists trust that God made the sky and the earth, and that God said let there be light, and there was light. Creationists don't trust that arbitrary events of nature started the start of life as we probably am aware it. Creationists ...

The religion of the Hebrew provides us with monotheism; it offers us the concept of the rule of law this is according to Genesis 17:18 (1900 BC). It provided us with the thought of the divine works for human history of the events of people. It establishes the concept of agreement which describes that God has a unique relationship with the community of man. In the Middle East, in the West, and in Asia and Africa the Hebrew legacy permeates everything that is observable since it highly influences the human culture. The development and history of the Hebrew monotheism ...

Transcendence and Human Knowledge

In Christian theology, transcendence is a paramount idea as it refers to the fact that God is completely removed from the world, and can be found beyond the material universe. This stands in opposition with religious ideas which place God within the material world. When the human knowledge reaches the limits of what science can explained, going beyond this limit means experiencing transcendence. In the Bible, concepts on transcendence and human knowledge refer to ignorance and self-knowledge. The concept of self-knowledge however must be distinguished from the idea of transgressive knowledge which tests the limits of human understanding and ...

The World-View in Narratives: Voyages of Columbus and Impact on Natives

The power granted to Christopher Columbus by the King of Spain for conquering the Native American settlements points to the victory of language. The natives were the cultural embodiments of American Indian life. These natives, whom Columbus reports to his sovereign as gullible and guileless, are the Zunis and the Navaho who can never imagine any power conflict (Heath Anthology 130). Their text of the origins of the world is filled with words relating to Nature whereas the texts of Columbus are full of words relating to ‘commodities’ to be traded (Heath Anthology 125-127). There are clear references to ...

Introduction

Christianity has had its own definition and essence of marriage for some 2,000 years. The Christian definition of marriage is based on the Bible and over the years, marriage has adapted to the social structures within which Christians live. The purpose of this essay is to critically analyze and review the concept of spousal love and its essence and features.

Marriage and Love in the Bible

In today’s world, there is a growing need to protect the environment and the elements in the environment. The environment as a whole reflects the animals, plants and people and each element live and survive as a result of the actions of others. The continued depletion of the environment continues slowly each day as persons are unaware of their Christian obligation to maintain the environment. Regardless of religion, race or social background, persons need to deviate from the ignorance that plagues the society and move towards putting a halt to the elements that seek to destroy the natural ...

Western philosophy of the XX century significantly differs from the philosophy of the previous centuries. The main and most common difference is due to the fact that at the turn of XIX and XX centuries, there was a transition from traditional classical to non-classical philosophy. This transition was largely due to the fact that in this period, the whole of Western culture underwent profound changes, in particular in science. A new, non-classical science, which significantly differs from the classical one, started in the late nineteenth century as the result the second scientific revolution. It still has no claims to ...

Music provides a unique reflection of different issues in the society by use of both lyrics and videos. Music videos help to reinforce the main theme of the song, which may include issues of ethnicity, sexuality, gender, class, and religion. The different elements and styles employed in music videos tell a sort of visual story, which is the case with Grimes’ music video titled Genesis. Directed by Claire Boucher, the video is part of Grime’s 2012 album titled Visions (Battan, 2012). The video, which involves both a suburb and desert scene ties into several ideologies including those about ...

In any discussion of the conscience and the icons that have become examples of what conscience means, there is a need to discover what a conscience is and from where it comes. Only then can the discovery of iconic roles such as Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Sophocles’ Oedipus be understood as examples of how the conscience works. There can be no conscience without communication. The requirement of communication to establish a conscience is a common human trait. “There are tribes in Africa where a baby is called a kuntu, a ‘thing,’ not a muntu, a ‘person’” (Lederer 3). It ...

People’s existence on earth has been an enduring riddle, but many cultures have had a try or two at answering it, spawning myths of all kinds. Myths are narratives that are symbolic in nature and attempt to explain the origin of a group of people and the source of the existence of the world we live in today. Most myths recognize the existence of a supreme being from which the earth was created and also fostered the existence of the first human beings on earth who eventually generated the whole human race. This paper explains the myths of ...

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).

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 ...

Throughout history, there have been numerous acts of fiendishness which been masked by the accumulation of intelligence. Evil and intelligence are concepts that are directly related because with one comes the other. This manifestation is evident in many situations that occur, whether factual or fiction. These cases are witnessed in Genesis, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, as well as the military. The evil in intelligence is evident in “the Book of Genesis” simply through Eve. Satan first asked Eve about the tree from which they were told not to eat (Jerson 66). Satan was informed by Eve ...

In terms of origin, identity, meaning, morality, and destiny, Christianity and Islam will differ. This paper will compare the two worldview perspectives on how they differ in these concepts. When it comes to the question of origin, Islam and Christianity share the story of Adam and Eve, with some differences. As stated in the second chapter of the Quran, named Baqara, “man came into being after Allah (God) consulted with his angels although the angels and Iblis (Satan) warned Him about man’s possible future violence and mischief,” (Nyang 2015). According to the Quran, Man came from out of ...

In 1809, Charles Darwin was born to Mr. Robert Waring Darwin and Susannah Wedgwood in Shrewsbury England and was their second son but the fifth child. Among the family members and relatives of the Darwin household, religious convictions and the value of proper education were evident. For instance, despite the religious skepticism of some relations, the mother embraced the Unitarian religion that promoted individual experience as the determinant factor in religious beliefs, and his sister Caroline embraced traditional Christianity (Pleins 1). Meanwhile, his father was a physician and at times, Charles Darwin would accompany his father on his medical ...

The issue of Gender parity in Religion has been a strong point of argument. Even within Christianity there have been varying viewpoints depending on the particular Orders. For instance, orthodox Catholicism did not accord an equal status to men and women, while the later Protestant Orders attempted to change this disparity. However, both the Old and New Testaments are full of passages that clearly demarcate gender roles and place men on a higher pedestal. A similar outcome is seen in Islam as well where women are further reduced to a degraded state of existence. This essay will examine the ...

The Epic of Gilgamesh was an ancient myth that described the stories and struggles of a Mesopotamian hero (i.e. Gilgamesh). The Old Testament, on the other hand, particularly the book of Genesis tells numerous tales of God’s followers, how they were challenged, and how they triumphed. One common feature between the two is the fact that they both contained flood stories. The way how the flood stories were portrayed in each book, however, was different. Firstly, the duration of the flooding was different. In Epic of Gilgamesh, the flood only lasted for seven days as evidenced by the ...

Abraham The The Father of Many Nations (Genesis 17:1-8) So the Abram was renamed to Abraham. “As a guarantee of the fact that the child of the covenant would soon be born, God changes Abrams name. He would no longer be Abram (“exalted father”); he would now be Abraham (“father of many”). So we can see that this rename was as a consequence of the great deal between God Father (father of all), and with Abraham (Father of many). Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’ ...
