Circle Troika's Comparison With The New Testaments Wise Men

Improved Essays
Show More
I found comparison with the New Testaments’ wise men cynical. The Circle’ troika (although I would not count Ty with them) has the ambition to be wise leaders, but I see them very far away from that. The New Testament three wise men were searching for Jesus, with star leading them, Jesus that in that story symbolizes the truth and light. And regardless if someone is a believer or not, it is a beautiful and deeply poetic story; The Circle world is far away from that.

The Circle guys (except Ty) are more tyrants who want to rule people, not really interested in truth. They are ambitious and dangerous, wanting the society where people should be like genetic reproductions, behaving in predictable ways, so they could be controlled by them. Regarding

    Everett And Odysseus In Homer's O Brother The Blind Seer

    If you watch O Brother, Where Art Thou without having read The Odyssey, you will assume it’s any other movie, with some unique elements that were oddly added in. Although, if you read the book before or after watching the movie, a lot of those random elements will make sense. These stories tell of two long and hard journeys home, that have obstacles and dangers that must be overcome. While there are many differences between the book and the movie, they also have many similarities. Both stories start with a prophecy.…

    Importance Of Creation Myths In The Epic Of Gilgamesh

    All these stories have different plots and stories that sometimes result in the same thing. One of the major themes or lessons to be learned from these stories is to fear your gods, and that the gods are the most powerful. Every particular religion or culture has their god or gods, if monotheist or polytheist that help them and explain their existence in the…

    Analysis Of The Lost Letters Of Pergamum

    In conclusion, I believe that this story paints an amazing picture of the Second Temple Period that coincides with the lectures and text readings of our New Testament History class. The reader gains a graphic understanding of what life was like for early believers of Christianity and makes one feel very fortunate for the opportunity to freely worship Christ in the society which we live in today. I can only hope to have my life’s works reflect the same devotion to God that the early Christians…

    Nineveh Research Paper

    In these modern times, skeptics consider the account of Jonah the son of Amit'tai as a fable or even a symbolic story. However, Jesus drew a comparison between Himself and Jonah confirming its historical accuracy. Shortly after the Flood, Nineveh was founded by Nimrod a warrior, (Genesis 10:11-12). It was the capital of the Assyrian empire and rose to power around 900 B.C. Nineveh, the oldest and most-populous city of the ancient Assyrian empire, is today's present day city of Mosul, Iraq. It was located at the intersection of important north-south and east-west trade routes, with fertile agricultural and pastoral lands (Mallow, Encyclopedia).…

    What They Don T Tell You: A Survivor's Guide To Biblical Studies

    As Michael Brown states in What They Don’t Tell you: A Survivor’s Guide to Biblical Studies: a Bible study focuses more on helping people to either understand what God wants in their life or how to be a better Christian. Sometimes Bible study helps solidify theological beliefs, or to develop new theological beliefs. As Brown stated, Bible study is often more of a mid week worship than a scholarly breakdown of the Bible. On the other hand, Biblical study differs from Sunday School because you study more than just the Bible itself. You study the historical context, such as the political climate, economics of the time, laws of the time, etc.…

    John Oswalt's The Bible Among The Myth

    Introduction The author, John N. Oswalt, book The Bible Among the Myths begins with the assertion of how unique the Christian-biblical worldview of ancient stories is a myth and that Jesus Christ is not real no more than Zeus or Osiris being real. Oswalt write that there is a lack of understanding about what constitutes a myth, as some people think it is simply a stories that are false. Oswalt also stated that the book primarily because of the changes between the characteristics of Ancient Israelite way of thought was so different from that of their neighbors West Semitic religions, today’s society, that are naive and the unique features of the Old Testament view of reality are thought to be explicable “on the basis of evolutionary change.” As…

    Thomas Paine Religion Analysis

    “It is curious to observe how the theory of what is called the Christian church sprung out of the tail of the heathen mythology.” He explains how the end of the story of Christ had to be so unbelievably true to match the first half. He states how the myths of Greek and Roman gods come down to earth to impregnate a woman is similar to the begin story of Christ. God came down to Mary and then she was with child. A very simple comparison of a story that was written by followers, a story meant to draw in crowds.…

    Simon The Zealot Character Analysis

    The Lord Jesus not only began recruiting his disciples by finding those who shared some common ground, but also calling those of differing character. Take for example, Matthew the tax collector for Rome and Simon the Zealot. The make-up of these two individuals shows how Jesus can build relationships. Matthew worked for Rome in the collection of Roman taxes while Simon the Zealot was an ardent Jewish nationalist.…

    Plato's Timaeus: The Story Of Creation

    Plato’s Timaeus is a Socratic dialogue in which the philosopher Timaeus explains the origins and composition of creation. Genesis 1, The Story of Creation, is part of the Hebrew Bible, it was composed around 1200 B.C.E., and influenced by other cultures of the time. Both Timaeus and Genesis 1 explore God’s relationship to creation and the natural world. However, the description of God and the cosmos differs between Timaeus and Genesis 1.…

    Isaiah 53 Analysis

    The passage of Isaiah 53 (4-8), for many centuries has been summed up as a poetic song in which the prophet Isaiah depicted the climatic period of world history in which the coming Messiah will arrive. In today’s culture this view is again reoriented in that many Christians alone see this passage to be a prophecy of the ministry in which Jesus Christ will walk. When looking into the passage, Christians see the ‘servant’ as Jesus, and his suffering for our sins, and the sacrifice he made for us. However like many passages throughout the bible, the interpretation in which it is understood is dependent on the perspective in which it is looked from. When breaking down these four verses, the perspectives that arrive are the time it was written at,…

    Theme Of Religion In Sonny's Blues

    Throughout the story, the narrator seeks out the knowledge of his who his brother is. This search for knowledge is similar to the story of Adam and Eve. The tale of the creation and the fall shows a moral principle that emerges from the biblical narrative of Adam and Eve on which both biblical fundamentalists and biblical critics can agree: merely seeking knowledge of good and evil is problematic. As stated in the King James version of the Bible 3:6 the tree was “desired to make one wise”. By fulfilling her desire to achieve the knowledge of good and evil, she consumed the fruit of the tree, disregarding an ethical directive to the contrary.…
