When King Arthur and his group made a huge bunny to hold people inside and when the french see’s the rabbit, they will be inside the rabbit in the castle. Well that didn’t work.…
In the beginning of time, in a paradisal world of sustained perpetual bliss, man was unflawed, an “infallible” construct, created and contrived by and in the image of an omnipotent being. However, a malevolent serpent—an embodiment of mankind’s insatiable gravitation to depravity—tempted man into partaking the forbidden fruit, considered to be a manifestation of corruption’s scarlet allure.

However, God made a covenant with man,…

The idea of freedom being evident in every individual may seems obvious in the 21st century, but this was a highly controversial topic within the 19th and 20th centuries. Through the eyes of Fyodor Dostoevsky in The Grand Inquisitor, freedom within society, especially within Christianity, must be valued and maintained so there is no confusion of authority. Freedom for Dostoevsky is both a self-evident truth and a God given gift that can only be trusted in His hands and those who truly believe in Him. Dostoevsky uses the Catholic Church as his example for a belief in no freedom for the individuals, demonstrating the struggle for many to express their ideals and opinions during the 19th century because of the papacy. This entrusted authority,…
