In orthodox Christianity, we worship God as a Triune Being (Trinity). He is One God in three Persons. Satan from the very beginning in Genesis has been tempting and deceiving man into thinking that there is a better way. This comes in many different forms but the goal is always the same: a rejection of God and His sovereignty over His creation. As we have the genuine, we also have the counterfeit. As we have the Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we also have a satanic trinity: Satan,…

examining the sculpture, Naram-Sin, is self-indulgence of power. According to my understanding, Naram-Sin feels noble and supreme, and indeed, everyone including the enemies looked and gazed at him in the stele of the monument. He is like the divine god from heaven as the three stars is an indication of divine power. In addition, he was portrayed as the focal point of the sculpture. Whereas, the feelings produced in the Battle of Issus are intense, dramatic, horror, vengeful and bloody. This is…

his son Ashwatthama has been slain, thereby filling his heart with sorrow and forcing him to drop his weapons, whereas actually an elephant sharing similar title was slain, c.) killing of Karna by Arjuna when he was unarmed and trying to free his chariot wheel from the mud in which it was stuck, d.) killing of the main antagonist Duryodhana by Bhima by hitting him below the belt which was against the battle rules.

the beauty of her in many aspects. However, at the second stanza, it takes a turn when it is made clear that he thinks there is not enough time to be “coy” and wait. They must in a sense, “seize the day”. “But at my back I always hear Time’s winged chariot hurrying near: And yonder all before us lie Deserts of vast eternity,” (Marvell, 21-24). As his pleas progress, the man presents a solution in which they should embrace their sexuality now while there is time. Samuel Johnson emphasizes, “They…

saving the hair and possibly saving himself because of grief and love for Patroclus. I believe he would, at this point, be reunited with Patroclus in death than live. (86 words). I disagree with Menelaus in this passage. Antilochus beat him in a chariot race because he drove very quickly on the narrow part of the track, causing Menelaus to slow down so he would not crash into Antilochus, thus tricking him. I believe Menelaus is overreacting and that I believe what Antilochus did should not be…

Spheres of Influence One thing that is essential in being a leader in ministry is a clear call from God. In the life of Moses a clear call to leadership is seen. God first…

Socrates and Phaedrus discuss love and erotic love throughout the dialogue of Plato’s Phaedrus. The dialogue also discusses rhetoric itself and the ways in which it is and should be practiced, as well as subjects such as metempsychosis. The dialogue in Phaedrus does not allow for any introductions to explain the story. This is somewhat unusual as it comes as a first-hand dialogue, uninterrupted by nobody and nothing. It plays out almost as if we are witnessing the events ourselves. Socrates’…
