Antichrist

The messiah that Israel is still expecting will have some tall orders to fulfill. It seems it will be next to impossible feat, to beat a peaceful person beyond recognition, while at the same time, knocking all of their bones out of joint and not breaking a single one. What a public relations “nightmare” this would pose in modern day Israel. Who will fulfill the written Messianic Prophesies in Israel? Who is it going to be? It seems no one will be able to accomplish this. It seems to be an…

There had been many major events that led to the rise and fall of the papacy. These major events have demonstrated the church’s rise to power and descent. The rise, peak, and fall started with the Showdown at Canossa, the Great Schism, and the Church control during the Middle Ages. The Church and Charlemagne’s relationship had helped demonstrate the rise of power for the church. This is because before a battle, Charlemagne had prayed to God for a successful win. Charlemagne had won the battle…

The Tree of Life is a subtle film that intricately links together the world while discussing vast concepts. One such concept, the way of nature, is personified through Brad Pitt’s character; he is a man who acts in primal animalistic ways, and consistently lets these emotions get the better of him. This motif has been explored in many films prior to Terrence Malick’s masterpiece and previous directors’ efforts by no means come close to the beauty of Malick’s film. Many of the films of the…

Corrupted Catholic Church: During 1400’s - 1500’s Catholic Church distorted the minds of people by suggesting that people can purchase sinfree cards, indulgences for the living and the dead: the idea of purgatory influenced mankind to secure a resting place in heaven. The papal dominion created delusion by mentioning that whoever follows the commandments of popes will be saved from hell - seducing the people with misconception that goodness and salvation lies on their behavior, whether or not…

Vast majority of the United States populations would deny that Americans are fulfilling prophecies written nearly 1,945 years ago (Slick, par.1) which are predicting America's fate. These prophecies foreshadowed America’s many wars, pestilences, diseases, and calamities; furthermore, the cosmos will be turbulent. Men will turn their backs to God and deny Him just as they claim to be prophets of his teachings. Nations will become perverse in their actions to allow sexual pleasures and worshippers…

Internal Conflicts of Ethical Reasoning Over the course of human history, civilizations have evolved using analogous ethical codes and social principles. Although these societies have succeeded for many centuries, people often lacked the ability to see their faults. The fault in every society is the inability to have complete conformity to a single idea. While few deem these guidelines breakable, the majority express that breaking these ethical codes will ultimately result in the downfall of an…

Introduction In 605 B.C during Jehoiakim’s reign, the Babylonian’s king Nebuchadnezzar took Daniel and his friends as captives when he besieged Jerusalem. Daniel was taken captive because he fit in the standards, which the king was searching for: young men, good-looking and smart. During the time of captivity, Daniel, the author of the book of the Bible with the same name , writes about the dreams, visions and situations he passed in the course of the captivity. Indeed Daniel’s actions…

In this paper I will prove that William Tyndale dedicated his life to the sacred and painstaking work of translating the New Testament and therefore making the bible accessible for all ordinary people to not just read, but understand as his writing style was vivid and eloquent. In spite of the consequences, being labeled a heretic, and ultimately a martyr, Tyndale’s bravery and personal faith in Christ, rather than the sole reliance of the church, demonstrated his determination to provide the…

the Pope declares that it’s their duty as Christians to serve God in reclaiming the holy land and stopping the persecution; he also, in one account, states his fear that, if Jerusalem is left in enemy hands, such will lead to the emergence of the Antichrist. However, likely his most persuasive reason or promise given to the people was that those who embarked on the journey would receive pardon of their sins and, essentially, if they died, a guaranteed spot in Heaven. Papal coercion at its…
