Free will is the ability to make choices that are not controlled by fate or God. Every man posses this power. According to the Bible, free will is a God given thing. It was given to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Often times, fictional characters are written to have free will. Those are the character that we find more relatable. One of those characters is Oedipus. In Sophocles’ Oedipus The King, Oedipus becomes a victim of his own free will; a parallel to the story of mankind as detailed in…

he was once an angel who fell from heaven. Satan’s journey to Eden demonstrates a perfect example of call to adventure as he tempts eve into wrong evil doings. He transforms into a snake and bribes Adam and Eve to eat from the forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden. His supernatural aid are the fallen angels who lurk into wrongdoings. According to the poem, they are the slaves to Satan’s accomplishments. In the poem The Second Coming, the poet addresses the spiritus mundi (a collective spirit of…

The History of persuasion began when the world was new and without sin. In Genesis chapter 2&3 it tells of Lucifer and his ultimate persuasion of Adam and Eve. When Adam and Eve were placed in the Garden of Eden they were in a perfect state. They were told not to eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Lucifer uses his skill of persuasion to sway Eve, telling her that to become like God she must partake of the fruit, thus resulting in The Fall. (Bible, Genesis 2-3. KJV) This being the…

The Edenic covenant was prevalent before the fall of man. God created the world and man. God promised man a partner and asked them to dominate over all the animals and live happily in the Eden Garden and in return asked them refrain from eating a fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. This covenant lasted till Adam and Eve were innocent, before their original sin. The Adamic Covenant is made after the fall of man. It begins with the Adam and Eve’s awareness of their sin (Gn.3:7). Scofield terms…

This can relate to Pony since he had to leave his house and went to live in an abandoned church with Johnny while they were running away from the police. Pony and Johnny killed Bob and they were forced to leave their comfort zone just like…

In his essay “The Bipartite System of Laws in Paradise Lost" Eric Dunnum argues that in John Milton’s Paradise Lost, man’s fall can be attributed to a system, set by God, that reflects that which is also used by historical kings and governments of the world. This system is a set of laws that is, as the title suggests, bipartite, which means that it is composed of two separate entities that come together to form a whole, and Dunnum’s argument often relies on the works of Louis Althusser to expand…

always told myself “If I had been Adam or Eve, there is no way I would have disobeyed God after being so closely united to Him”. But then I think “So why do I keep sinning after every time I receive the Eucharist? Adam and Eve are created in the garden of Eden and everything is in accord with everything else. Adam and Eve are alive because the divine breath of God is in them, giving them life and man is to be co-creators with God, having dominion over all the plants and creatures ordering all…
