Christ

Power and self-interest have led many throughout history to the wrong decision for the greater good of society. In “The Anti-Christ”, Nietzsche describes how he believes that power and the will to gain power brings happiness to man.

story, and Risen followed the aftermath of Christ’s death – with each film attempting to add flair to well documented scripture stories. Comparatively, The Passion of the Christ jump-started such a modern trend by carrying out its objective of ‘not holding back’ with a realistic (and brutal) depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. No, it’s not the only film to bring the event to life on either the big or small screen, yet it arguably did it the best. And, in the years following the…

Workshop 4: My Life As A Christ Follower How does one measure the essence of their faith? The United States is, primarily, a monotheistic society with Christianity being the dominate religion. It is not surprising that as a native born resident of this Country, I would adopt this religious belief system. So, is my becoming a Christ follower simply a circumstance of the location of my birth, or is there a deeper meaning? I also ask if I can be true to my faith while respecting the rights of…

life of grace and the world of the Spirit. Mary, the Mother of God, has a unique role in God’s plan for the salvation of mankind.

At Cervantes’ brothel, there are musicians who plan in an “enormous courtyard for dancing lit by lantern gourds bought in the Chinese bazaars of Paramaribo.” (Page 64) The atmosphere created by these words quite serene, the dancing…

1. Is Janie or Tea Cake a Christ figure? Choose one and argue for or against this, providing details from the novel to support your answer. Overall in my opinion I think Tea Cake was the Christ figure. He portrayed these characteristic by a lot of things.

Tea Cake was a mysterious character and in times it was hard to stay faithful to him for…

Hi, I am Piper Chance and this is my walk with Christ so far. It all started in Texas when i was a young, Catholic girl who believed in God because I went to a Christian school and my parents went to church.

My mom came home from work and sat my sister and I down for a little chat. Soon, I realized my mom…

I feel qualified to hold this position because of how influential the big/little aspect of Zeta has been on my life. My family within Zeta is so close from my great grand big down to my little, and each of them have given me a feeling of having a home away from home. I’ve experienced how important getting a big sister can be when you are a freshman trying to find your way and find where you belong at Auburn. I’ve also experienced how important it is to turn around and be that same guiding light…
