first human beings Adam and Eve. She argues that Eve isn 't the only one to blame ( or to take the full blame) for their actions of eating the forbidden fruit. Now to my understanding this argument is fallible. From…

bliss thus high advanced creatures of other mould, earth-born perhaps, not spirits, yet to heav’nly spirits bright little inferior; whom my thoughts pursue with wonder, and could love.” ( ) He has the ability to love, but chooses not to. Adam and Eve were created in the likeness of God, pure and good; and Satan hates them for it.

“Women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the world” said Hillary Clinton. Today there is still so much work needed to improve the rights of women. Even though the role of women has dramatically changed since early modern society, we still face problems of inequality. It is difficult to believe how different the role of a woman in early modern Europe was compared to today when we are still not satisfied with the role that women are allowed to play. However, it is arguable that…

Another area of debate between John Calvin, Aristotle and Plato is on Epistemology, the study of knowledge. It comes as no surprise that John Calvin’s epistemology is based upon the knowledge of God. Calvin did not use the methods that most philosophers use to speculate on God; Calvin focused his epistemology views from the revelation that God provides in his scripture. Calvin rejects anything outside of the revelation of God through scripture stating, “not to indulge in curiosity, or to…

My first…

the image of God, with a living soul, and therefor could not provide sufficient companionship. “Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him” (Gen. 2:18). He created a companion for Adam, Eve, out of his ribcage (Gen. 218). She was taken out of his side to be equal to him and near his heart, not beneath or above him, both sexes have possess different but none less divine characteristics.
