Jesus Christ. In a chapter entitled, “The Three Parts of Morality,” Lewis proposes that one part of morality is the “tidying up” of one’s self on the inside, in other words, first cleaning “the inside of the cup” (Matthew 23:25-28, New International Version). Further, in the chapter I wish to discuss “Nice People or New Men,” Lewis asserts that this…

There are many versions and translations of the bible, just as there are many types of people reading the bible there are many different versions to accommodate the variety of people reading . Although all of the versions and translations are accurate and there is an overall message for each verse that all the versions stick to, there are definitely a lot of differences among the versions. The above table shows the differences among just three versions of the same verse. The First translation,…

Hebrew and Aramaic as accurately as possible. This does not mean every form has the same wording because the translator’s preference and the specific words used in the text can lead to several translations emerging with slight differences between each version. Even seemingly straight-forward…

While there are “rules” that almost everyone can agree on, such as murder or taking another’s property is wrong, there are several rules that, from inside a community, seem immutable or common sense, but from the outside they are flippant, arbitrary, and restricted. In the story “Good People” David Foster Wallace uses the circumstances of an unplanned pregnancy to examine the social isolation that can occur…

As you read the devotional about consuming the things that fill us but do not nourish our bodies, souls, and lives, what memories came to mind?

to the needy… She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness” (Authorized King James Version). In these verses, The Bible clarifies and defines the role of women as being selfless, charitable, and kind.

the Bible. A good example of this would be James 3:13, “Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.” (King James Version) or 1 Corinthians 11:1, “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.” (King James Version) I am in agreement with his view point ownership.There was three points that he made in this chapter that I am in agreement with. The first would be that “sometimes Chritians refers to…
