In the Flesh?

The Incarnation is the powerful mystery that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became flesh to fulfill our salvation and to save us from both sin and death. The Incarnation is the greatest sign of Christian faith to be true. In the Gospel of Luke, we are told that through the power of the Holy Spirit, the Incarnation came to be accurate. An angel named Gabriel appears to Mary and tells her that you will have a child named Jesus. Knowing that Jesus means “God saves”, she is confused because she has…

When I go through difficult times, I remember the quote, "Bones break. Organs burst. Flesh tears. We can sew the flesh, repair the damage, ease the pain. But when life breaks down, there's no science, no hard and fast rules. We just have to feel our way through"-Meredith Grey. This influences me and inspires me whenever "my world crashes down." I'm a…

Introduction to the Book of Philippians Introduction Paul’s short epistle to the Philippians was in essence a thank you letter to a church in Philippi that he himself had established sometime during his second missionary journey (Acts 16:12). The tone of the epistle is apparent, Paul regards the Philippi church dear to his heart and it is also apparent that the church’s sentiments towards Paul are similar (Phil 1:7). The epistle is Paul’s response to the Philippi church where he takes the time…

if that soul has done good deeds. This belief has influenced many religions including Christianity. In Beowulf, during the funeral of Beowulf shows how much influence Christianity had. “Life leaves the flesh” (970) proves that the kingdom believed that the life, soul, can be freed from evil, flesh. The separation of soul and body is essential because since the kingdom believed in the soul, all of the actions done would be either good or bad. If the actions were bad, they would not be freed from…

The Female Form in Cycladic Sculpture The Cyclades are a group of about thirty small islands located in the southwestern part of the Aegean sea. To the west and north of the island lies mainland Greece and to the east is Turkey. The Cycladic culture which flourished in the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age is best known for its precise and schematic figurines carved from the islands’ marble. The ancient Greeks noticed that they formed a circle around the sacred island of Delos, which contains…

overtaken by the savage instinct buried within him when reenacting a hunt with another boy playing the part of a pig. Ralph “too was fighting to get near, to get a handful of that brown, vulnerable flesh. The desire to squeeze and hurt was over-mastering.” (Golding, 115). Ralph’s desire to kill, tear flesh, and be a participant in violence was due to the ferocious compulsion deep within himself. Ralph, who protected others from danger, who cared about whether his peers had food, who made sure…

When Joseph Smith was fourteen (or 15, or 16?) years old he says “…I saw the Lord and he spake unto me…” Earlier in our study we read “Joseph Smith later recounted* that he saw two ‘personages’” Yet aren’t we told nobody can see the face of God and live? "And the LORD said, "I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD . . . But, "he said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live. " (Exodus 33:19-20, NIV) It states clearly here…

For my Argument Text Analysis, I choose the essay “Girls getting fed up with school dress codes that treat them as distractions” by Maureen Downey. This essay is about how girls are required to wear certain things to school for the reason that certain things are “distracting”. How girls are kept from their education since they are sent home for the things they wear. The writer is trying to persuade the reader that girls shouldn’t be required to wear certain things because the boys can’t control…

Apollonius with his last gulf of energy cries out, “Oh, mercifully gods, gratify me and listen to my pains and sorrows. For I yearn my homeland of Argos, and my family. And I am certain that my wife and children are desperately waiting for my return. Yet, I can not return, for I am on this island you see. This barren land, contain nothing that I could possibly have uses for me. Oh, glorious gods please understand this island lacks everything for what a man requires. And without any support from…
