Iroquois and Judeo-Christian creation stories are uncanny. Genesis 1-4 describes how God made the Earth in technically six days, since he took the seventh day off and made it holy; as well as several unfortunate events that took place involving Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel. The creation story perfectly demonstrates their belief in the concept of sin. It also clearly states that God made man so that there can be dominion over wild animals, the birds in the sky, and livestock, which isn’t the case…

Marriage from the bible is defined between and male and a female. God gave Adam a wife because of the look of loneliness upon his face he did not just give him a women for his pleasure, but a helper. Eve was designed to help man in rising up a generation that would create image bearers. From a biblical worldview man is solely responsible for raising his children and the mother is the helper. In our generation today man has become the helper and mom…

There have been many debates on creation and our existence. When did life begin and what started it all? After all, we’re here. We breathe air in. We make decisions that spur action. We love vigorously and can be hurt deeply. Human emotions are part of everyday life and yet we live without regard to how we have these emotions in the first place. An unbiased look at Genesis 1-11 clearly shows the reason why. God is a loving God and He created us for relationship. Natural World…

In ‘Tess of the D’Urbervilles’ Hardy presents the theme of innocence throughout the novel. This theme is directly linked to the character of Tess, and her loss of innocence, during the novel. Because of the pastoral genre, we expect as an audience for a loss of innocence to be a feature in the novel, which means Hardy presents this innocence as being dangerous and desirable. When we first see Tess, she is depicted as a girl of innocence, in her ‘white muslin’, as white has connotations of…

Growing up without any siblings is a life no one should have to live. At least that’s what I thought as a child. Struggling through family gatherings and visits to grandma’s house are no fun without someone to pester along the way. I couldn’t remember a time when I wasn’t asking my parents for a baby brother or sister. They refused to reason with me, so I took matters into my own hands. The upcoming Christmas I asked Santa Claus to bring me a younger sibling and he carefully considered my…

Hidden global analysis We need to read the first two chapter of Genesis in order to understand the basic setting of the whole story in Genesis 3. It is the story of God’s creation of heaven and earth and all the living, then the fall of the first human beings brought the human tragedy: suffering, conflict and destination. This biblical story contents many elements/motifs of a story of ancient Near East that we need to know with a commentary! For example, where is the location of Eden? How do the…

Paradise lost is a poem written by John Milton that explains the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and how they were tempted by one of God’s fallen angels Satan. Throughout the books Satan defies God and the debate starts whether Satan is a hero or anti-hero. I find in books one and two Satan appears more of a hero and that Blake was of not the Devils party. Book one of paradise lost explains that Milton was not of the devils’ party in regards to Satan was once an angel of light until…

The consequences of this is the banishment of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, as well as the introduction of sin into mankind. (Genesis 3). Sin may be defined as the absence of good much like darkness is the absence of light (McCrillis & D, 2014)*. Just as we inherit traits from our parents, the bible says we inherit our sinful nature from Adam and Eve because we descended from them. (Smith, 2016 ) Similarly, satanic popular culture characters have…

Is free will beneficial for humans to possess? In relation to Paradise Lost and the actions of Adam and Eve, free will did not benefit our ancestors; their independence did just the opposite. Through their freedom, Adam and Eve ate from the Forbidden Tree, disobeying their creator, God. The consumption of the fruit could have only been done through free will, since it allows an individual to act at their own discretion. This came with several consequences, like being banished from the Garden of…

of the story of Adam and Eve in the book of Genesis in the Bible. John Milton, author, writes about the character of Satan with aspects of being victimized, becoming the potential hero, and looking for the way to freedom from God, the tyrannical ruler. Milton also gives the characters of Adam and Eve a greater sense of awareness to their surroundings and the development of actions other than devoting their lives to worshiping and serving God. He gives the character of Eve a great sense of self…
