The myth I chose for this week’s assignment tells the story of Mayan creation. This myth comes from an ancient Mayan book, The Popol Vuh, which according to Ancient Origins website “is the corpus of mythological and historical narratives, including the creation story according to the Quiché-Maya people” ("Popol Vuh: The Sacred Narrative Of Maya Creation"). Additionally, Ancient History Encyclopedia states, the Popol Vuh “has been referred to as the Mayan Bible” (Mark, Joshua). The book details…

Ovid’s account of creation in his poem Metamorphoses is believable because it is similar to the Hebrew belief in the Bible. The Hebrew belief is God creates the heavens and the earth. Likewise, in the Metamorphoses, Ovid seems to take the story of creation one step further by explaining in detail each day God creates. For example, in the Bible, God commands “Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place…and it was so.” (NIV Bible, Genesis 1:9) In the Metamorphoses,…

Before Eve comes into play, who came from Adams rib, God had decided that it was not okay for Adam to be alone on the…

The Live Production I saw was Hurry Up Santa: The Musical at the Empty Space. Can you believe that Santa and his elves overslept on Christmas Day? Well, in this play, the kids are disappointed that Santa is late and Christmas may never come all because of Santa and his elves were lazy and overslept. My favorite character in this play was Boots. I liked him because his role was very humorous. He panics a lot and does it in a very funny way. I like to watch funny things so his acting really…

What does that say about temptation? It is said that Temptation is the beginning, the roots of mankind’s lives given birth at the garden. Yahweh knew that Eve would fall under temptation from the serpent and create the first sin before she even thought about it. Why would Yahweh want his own creation to fail him? Did Yahweh want his creation to fail? That is not the case. Yahweh is all knowing, he knows every…

Throughout history names were given to newborn babies by their parents. Thanks to my father, I’m named Tasha. Occasionally babies would be named after a deceased relative or because they like the name but my name came when my father was praying to God and he told dad to name me Tasha. Cool, right? Afterward, my mother calls me lil’mama and chocolate drop when she’s proud of me and is bragging about me to her friends or coworkers, which is often. She gave me the nickname lil’mama because I’m…

Man is Inherently Sinful "Man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness"(Martin Luther King Jr.). This quotation from Martin Luther King Jr. reveals that man has a choice to be good or evil. Each individual has the potential to display goodness but they also have the potential to give in to sin. It is up to man to fight his own inclination to sin. In Conrad's novel, Heart of Darkness, he delineates that evil can come from…

God reveals that he created man from clay and he molded them into their shape. I think it reveals that clay here means wet sand that stiffened. Also, 55:14 gives an example of the way humans were molded, just like pottery,. Here God uses the singular form of humans. “insan”, I think because it indicates that all humans are equal, because all…
