By Christology standards and ideals, Jesus is more of an idea, a way of life than an actual human being. To explain further, all I simply mean is that the reason Christianity is followed is not because of the mythology behind it. It is because of the message it spreads, the positivity it spreads around the globe. It’s a way of life, therefore many people can interpret this way of life through their own perspective. Thier own experiences, which if you have faith, you can say that these…

"agapeo" and "phileo." Agape love is the love of God. It 's an unconditional, unmatched, unselfish love that comes from The Lord. It 's the strongest love there is- one that involves sacrifice, maybe like Peter had suggested he would do for Jesus back in John 13. Phileo love is brotherly love. Essentially, it 's the love we have for our closest friends. We love them and cherish them, but they aren 't on the level of God. It 's a sweet, friendly love. So, question number one in the Greek…

In this paper I will argue that Locke is correct in his belief that there can be a right of ownership in nature. Over the course of this essay, I will look to provide evidence and arguments that support this position and show that law is not necessary for the right to possession. Locke argues that property rights originated when God created the world and that all men have a right to make use of this earth and what It produces in order to lead a more comfortable existence. Locke argues that in…

In the novel Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck writes the story of two American men struggling during the 1930s Great Depression. Steinbeck portrays their experience as an example of the harsh times America went through. People were dismissed from their jobs because of the devastating economic crash, and job openings became scarce due to the financial instability throughout America. In order to support themselves, migrants mainly traveled alone and only focused on surviving and finding money.…

accused of being a witch. John forced her to testify and told her to face her fears. This is ironic because at first, John did not want to testify in Salem either (53). Since both John and Mary were afraid to go to Salem, Miller painted an image of Salem as being a place of fear. It should be noted however that, John was afraid to go to Salem for a different reason. John was afraid of what his wife, Elizabeth would think of him after his affair with Abigail. Abigail, unlike John and Mary, used…

The book, Can We Trust the Gospels, attempts to answer two basic questions that are posed to many Christians at least once in their lifetime: Do the Gospels provide reliable, historical information about Jesus of Nazareth? And do they offer a trustworthy basis for having faith in Jesus Christ? The author, Mark Roberts, is referring to the first four books found in today’s New Testament Bible, not other texts or “gnostic gospels” that are found elsewhere in literature. The author claims that…

In Rawls’ Theory of Justice, he thinks of Justice as Fairness. Rawls’ thinks the distribution or redistribution of goods is fair, in my opinion, this would depend upon the situation. It’s also stated in Justice as Fairness that “Justice should not be based on Luck of Birth”. Another exert in his text states that the “Veil of Ignorance guarantees that justice will be achieved by the least well-off”. Although some of the things Rawl’s speaks of in his Theory of Justice could possibly be…
