The Due Penalty Clause In Greek Mythology

Superior Essays
Men and women both were committing unnatural acts by offering themselves up as strange flesh to entities not of human flesh. Both men as well as woman were lying with angels (angelic men). The “due penalty” clause is quite a mystery without this understanding. What would this due penalty be that these people would be receiving in their persons? This word, persons, is a reference to their own bodies. They are receiving demons into their own flesh. The initial stage is probably some kind of spiritual possession, leading to all sorts of abominable sexual acts and eventually to grotesque, inhuman offspring; giants (Nephilim). Can you even begin to imagine the pain of childbirth?

Very true. But this evil finds its source in the Serpent from the Garden of Eden, on through to the days of Noah and from Noah to an evil line that passed from his son Ham to his offspring, the Canaanites. I believe it’s this kind of wickedness that explains the evil we see presently in the Middle East. ISIS is known for kidnapping ten-year-old girls as sex slaves. They rape them in a kind of religious ceremony where a man prays before he rapes the child; prays again when he’s finished and then the next guy comes in and repeats the process over and over. This can go on for hours. Children are buried alive in front of their parents. The torture is the worst kind imaginable. Like in the days of Marduk idolatry, people are burned alive. This is the kind of wickedness that stems all the way back to the days of Noah and Sodom. Demonism is alive and well in the Middle East.

I don’t mean to suggest a general rule that if someone is active in homosexual or heterosexual sodomy, this necessitates direct demonic involvement. But there does seem to be some link between demonism and sodomy, especially in Noah’s and Lot’s day. I don’t think the sudden shift towards both gay marriage and transgendered persons is a coincidence. As sexual deviancy as well as gender confusion escalates, demonism will more and more be involved

    Although very different story lines, the Iliad and the Bible have a mutual respect for a relatively large idea- Justice. Justice has been a huge moral for the readers of both, however in different ways. The definition of Justice does not change from book to book, nor does it have an underlying meaning in either however the path taken to justice in both is what differs. In the Iliad, the characters believe that justice is established through violent acts. Whereas the Bible, civilians are taught by God that justice is brought by acts of goodness, and always being…

    The purpose of this philosophical research paper is to attempt to develop an understanding on the concept of suffering while investigating the problem of evil from a theological perspective using scriptural references from the Holy Bible. Evil is the Absence of Good The Bible teaches that God is a powerful and almighty God. Many people wonder why there is so much pain, suffering, and corruption in the world if there is a presumably good God overseeing it. According to the Bible, God could not possibly cause evil since he is a righteous God.…

    Arguably the most influential philosopher to emerge from Ancient Greece, Socrates was widely despised throughout his lifetime for his incessant search to find a man with more wisdom than he. Socrates was subjected to trial on the charges of impiety and corruption of the youth and was ultimately deemed guilty by the jury. Plato recounts Socrates’ lengthy speech of defense and his subsequent sentence to execution in his dialogue, The Apology. Regardless of his innocence or guilt, however, the verdict of Socrates’ execution is the most appropriate outcome of the trial. In his plea for acquittal, Socrates unwittingly proposes a more compelling argument in support of his own execution rather than against it.…

    Works of literature are a reflection of the time period they were written in; they explore the inner workings of the society and examine the most prominent issues of the time. Therefore, as time passes and humanity changes, the issues addressed evolve accordingly, with the exception of one issue, which endured the tests of time and remained one the most recurring themes in literature, the battle between good and evil. The theme made its first appearance in creation stories and while the stories differ between one culture and another, the theme of good and evil remained intact. To illustrate, in the Abrahamic religions’ version, Adam and Eve’s fall from heaven is caused by Satan, the very root of all evil. Centuries later, the battle between good and evil continues to be tirelessly fought whether in literature or other creative mediums.…

    When held on trial, Socrates stated that the people of Athens would be more harmed by his execution than he will be, if he were to be sentenced to death. Socrates was fighting charges for corrupting the youth and for not acknowledging the Gods. During the trial Socrates had proven that his accuser Meletus was accusing Socrates mainly out of spite instead of accusing him for the benefit of Athens or the people of Athens. He believed that an unjust killing was not good for the human soul. During the trial Socrates called himself a gadfly, attaching himself to the city of Athens and helping the people of the city understand the truth behind any theories that he would discuss or that would be brought up.…

    When it comes to the topic of laws, most of us will readily agree that breaking the laws is unjust. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of if there is ever a time when a law can acceptably be broken. Whereas some are convinced that laws should never be broken, others maintain that there are some instances where laws should be broken. Socrates and Antigone would agree with the statement that disobeying laws is never the answer. Likewise, I have always believed that breaking the laws should be punishable and should never be done.…

    In the context of Greek mythology, humans have little to no control over their fates. That knowledge and controls lies with the gods. Often times the characters of myths go to the oracles looking for a bit of guidance only to be delivered a cryptic message about a big event relevant to their lives. For example, Oedipus in Oedipus Tyrannus sends Creon to the oracle to get answers about the plague that racks Thebes, he is told that he must find the old king Laius’ murderer, Creon says “Then hear the words I heard from the god. Lord Apollo has made his will clear: drive out defilement nurtured in your land.…

    Greek Exoneration

    • 138 Words
    • 1 Pages

    The term exoneration is first found in ahead of schedule French law and gets from the late Latin perdonare ("to concede uninhibitedly"), recommending a blessing offered by the sovereign. It has accordingly come to be connected with a to some degree individual concession by a head of state to the culprit of an offense, in alleviation or reduction of the full discipline that he has justified. Absolution, then again, gets from the Greek amnestia ("overlooking"), and has come to be utilized to depict measures of a more broad nature, coordinated to offenses whose culpability is viewed as better overlooked. Yet, it is intriguing to note that in old Greece, pardons were indeed called adeia ("security" or "safety"), and not amnestia. In addition, the…

Paul wrote almost half of the New Testament, but only four of his letters are written to individuals. Of these four, I’ve chosen 1Timothy to further explore. Thirty years of labor for the gospel took its toll on Paul. His body bore the suffering of a servant of Jesus Christ.…

    Justice has been an evolutionary concept that has been forever evolving for thousands of years. However, in order for the modern deduction of justice to have been made by modern standards, the concept of justice itself needs to be established. Although its formal understanding may have been unclear during their time period, Hesiod and Homer both attempt to understand and exert their opinions as to what justice is through their epic poems and other works. Even though some of their views on justice conflict and others compliment each other, they both laid a foundation to explain what justice meant in Greek society.…

    Walking outside at the end of the night to small streaks of light just coming up from the horizon. The Sun is starting to rise. People have told stories as to why the sun comes up since the beginning of human story telling. For example, according to an Aboriginal story from Australia the sun rises because the animals were tired of living in the dark so they pushed the sun up with sticks. Now the sun walks across the sky with flames only for it to be burned out when in reaches the West side (Worldstroies.org).…
