    In “The Grand Inquisitor” from The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevski, the Grand Inquisitor blames Christ for not succumbing to the Devil’s three temptations because it left man with freedom, which the Grand Inquisitor sees as a burden. The Inquisitor feels that the church has to clean up Christ’s mess by replacing freedom with security. I, however, argue that the Grand Inquisitor’s charges are unjust because he reasons from a corrupted perspective. He makes major claims simply from his own opinions, and his arguments are self-contradicting, unethical, and, sometimes, illogical. As a result, he does not provide a plausible alternative to Christ’s succumbing to the Devil’s temptations, so he has no right to blame Christ in the first place, making his charges unjust.…

    Acts 5:3 “But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?” The Holy Spirit must have revealed to Peter that Ananias was lying, therefore he asked him why he lied. I have heard it said that Ananias would not have been asked this question if he was a lost sinner, as Peter would have known that it is the way of the ungodly to not tell the truth. I find it at least reasonable to believe he was saved but Satan filled his heart to lie.…

    Literature is a wonderful thing; it explores the relationships between humans and their nature, historical events, and can be used to express one’s creativity. It can also be used to give moral guidance; this was Arthur Miller’s reasoning behind writing The Crucible. In this dramatic retelling of the Salem trials, Miller ensnares his reader with stories of adultery, betrayal, and material greed. His intention, however, is not to entertain with operatic drama. This play is a cautionary tale about finger pointing and its potentially fatal consequences.…
