In the coffin text spell, the focal point is Annunciation, “The creative expression of a thought through the medium of the spoken word,” which is one of the two elements of magic. The Great Hymn to Osiris. Scholars often cite the Osiris myth from Egyptian literature. The hymn from which this passage comes “contains the fullest account of the…

I believe that people cannot live without ‘Faith’. People know that god exists through two ways. First way is through prophets messages, which I think was the first real knowledge. God ordained Prophets to undertake the same mission from Adam to Prophet Mohamed, the religion delivered by all prophets is exactly the same. The message is monotheism, doing righteous deeds and to establish the religion and make no division therein. So how did divisions happen? When Prophets died, their followers and…

Religion affects every aspect of human life, including a person’s identity, the way they think and feel, and the culture around them. Although religion is a topic that is very important to many people, it is not often discussed. This lack of openness and discussion leads to people being very emotional about religiously-charged issues. Despite these controversies, Christianity is the one way for people to work through deep theological issues such as life and death, as well as helping one to focus…

Hospitality To begin the project on Hospitality, I read a couple of articles. The first, Hospitality – a Very Christian Virtue by Gill Robins, talked about the Biblical sense of hospitality and how we are to accept and include others. She gave some examples of how a lack of hospitality can lead to conflict between people. Robins’ article did not emphasize what to do to be hospitable, as much as why we are to be hospitable. Drawing from 1 Timothy 5:10, she says, “Hospitality is about perceiving…

The sculpture Triad of King Mycerinus and Two Goddesses, which resides at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, was excavated from The Temple of Mycerinus in Giza and was created between 2548 - 2530 BCE, during the reign of Mycerinus. Made from greywacke, an incredibly coarse, dark sandstone, this sculpture uses variation in texture, incorrect scale, and line to draw attention to King Mycerinus in relation to the two divinities, and thus is an example of royalty as divinity. Overall, this sculpture…

In this instance again aid in battle helped transcend God from a deity of a small peasant faith to the true god of an entire empire. Without the sort of aid that Yahweh or God gave to both the Israelites and Constantine, the idea of a single all knowing being may have come later in history or maybe not at…

In the Theogony, gods are shown as beings higher than humans, but still drastically similar to how humans act, in terms of feelings and emotions. While gods do act more dramatically, the similarities are undeniable. This can display how humans give meaning to life because by giving gods similar attributes, mankind can look up to these gods to see what is right and what is wrong, like a guide to life. The Ancient Greeks gathered their own sense of morality by following the Theogony. Hesiod may…

The world contains very diverse and unique religions, and every tribe or group of people has various cultural views that affect daily life.

Traditionally, the religion contains very unique traditions and practices that differ compared to other religions. Pre-colonial Igbo religion consists of different gods that affect everyday life…

The cosmos are abstract and ever changing. Knowledge expands, impacting perception. God, like the universe, is nonconcrete and perception changes between individuals. God is at once all encompassing while simultaneously minimal. God defines morality while justifying corruption. God elevates some while undermining others. The distinction between God and god lies in the circumstance or beliefs of the beholder. God in the most literal sense pertains to religion. Whether seen as a singular…
