    At first instinct it seems to be easy to be able to deal and more on from a passing of a loved one; however, allowing yourself to never forget about it comes with consequences. The novels The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver, The Gathering by Anne Enright, and the short story “Was It a Dream” by Marjorie Laurie are all connected by a similar theme of relevance of their relationship, the guilt of their loss, and the ending result of hoe they overcome it.

    Bible Vs. Sewall

    • 317 Words

    An important habit to notice about Sewall in his writing, is that he tended to manipulate the context of Bible verses, taking most of the verses at face value or ignoring their significance completely. A good start is the first Bible verse Sewall used in favor of his first answer; African Americans are descendants of Cush not Cham, Psalm 68:31 “Envoys will come from Egypt; Cush will submit herself to God.” There is no logical way, within the context of the verse, to support his first answer with Psalm 68:31. Yes, the verse mentions a people group emerging from Cush, now Ethiopia, to unite under Gods’ banner but it doesn’t show that ‘Black Men’ are from Cush. A whole part of Sewalls’ argument rested on his statement that “the Blackmores are…

    I agree with most of your post, Joshua, but I feel like there is no religion, with the ability to know the absolute truth about God. While I am a Christian, and my path with God means accepting that Jesus died on the Cross for my sins, but I also understand how those in power have used Christianity to gain riches and convert souls. The Spanish, and English monarchy spread of Christianity was a hidden agenda, to explore and control the riches and people from these lands. Even the Bible can be read in many various versions, with deleted texts from one to another. For Example, the New International Version is published by Zondervan who's parent company is HarperCollins, and The Satanic Bible is published by Avon who's parent company is HarperCollins.…

    In the near beginning of the story, the Judge stands up within the middle of a preacher's sermon and informs the group that this man is a big fake. The Judge then states at a public bar that, “In truth, the gentleman standing here before you posing as a minister of the Lord is not only totally illiterate but is also wanted by the law in the states of Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Arkansas.” He speaks thus persuasively that the city descends on the sermonizer with homicidal blows. Once asked later on however he knew the preacher's story, the judge admits he created all the stories for humor. However, the reader may notice that the Judge simply got some guy crushed out of his life for the sheer fun of it.…
