There are many controversies regarding the theology in the bible, and different groups and cultures view them and use them as they believe is the correct way. Since we have no time machines or original transcripts, we can only use the text itself to derive clues as to what the author meant. One of the longer standing controversies is the Calvinist-Arminian debate which arose in the 16th century. The debate which argues about the nature of God and whether he decides the future of every individual…

Wolf of Wall Street This is not your average paper of “let me explain this out of box movie, with the dreamy Leonardo Dicaprio as the leading man”. No this is a paper of how a world of luxury and living the high life is really not so great when you are at the top. This is not just a movie showcasing his high, but it would not be an Oscar winning movie without showing his fall. Leonardo Dicaprio’s portrayal of Jordan Belfort was truly impeccable. Being that this is a true story, you start to…

“We talk about important shit and we do sober shit.” Sitting in a hospital’s auditorium on a Thursday night this phrase summarized the reason behind the meetings of Narcotics Anonymous. Important shit was indeed going on. The people in the room varying from all ages and backgrounds were there to mend their lives back together to the standards that society saw fit and they all had the unequivocal support of each other. The standards are being sober and not depending on any drugs or alcohol. The…

psychological and neuroscientific research claims that eyewitness testimony, which relies on human recollection of memories encoded in the brain, is a “reconstructive process that is susceptible to distortion” (Lacy and Stark 2). According to Dr. Jonah Lehrer, “More than 75,000 prosecutions every year are based entirely on the recollections of others,” which could lead to the introduction of motives these witnesses may have (Lehrer). To analyze this potential bias, we must ask the question: how…

custody, he confessed to all thirteen murders, but claimed that he had to murder in order to prevent a dangerous earthquake. He claimed that his victims sent him telepathic messages telling him to kill them. He claimed that Lawrence White looked like Jonah from the Bible and sent him a telepathic message saying, “Hey, man, pick me up and throw me over the boat. Kill me so that others will be saved” (Scott…

DC Comics. In this case, two brothers who are musicians, Johnny and Edgar Winter, argued that DC Comics appropriated their identity in the “Jonah Hex” comic book series. They argue that the two characters in the series, Johnny and Edgar Autumn, have specific characteristics that would lead others to identify the characters as themselves. One similarity that the Winter brothers argued were the…

molding into a leader and someone the Christians could depend on. God set Peter’s life in place; through this Peter became more than just generic fisherman, but he became a foundation of the ever growing church. Peter was born just Simon, son of Jonah, in approximately 1 B.C, in the Galilean town of Bethsaida. 6 years later in 7 B.C his younger brother Andrew was born, also in the town of Bethsaida. In 25-27 A.D. Peter marries and has children with his nameless wife, which is implied existed in…

Introduction Methodology The research methodology used for this biography on Peter is a scholarly evaluation. While there were many popular sources (pastors or specialist) available on this topic, they often adapted their findings to appeal to a general audience. Additionally, these popular sources mainly offer a quick and sometimes bias overview of the life of Peter rather than an objective and comprehensive academic account. Therefore, popular sources were not used for research in writing…

In the beginning was the genesis of creation, where had God moved by his spirit to create the Heavens, Earth, and mankind for a companionship with one of his own image. God wanted a relationship based on freewill for the product of true love. But the free will of mankind resulted in the fall from the grace of God. Because of God’s love, we can see the movement of God throughout history to reconcile the relationship between God and mankind back into right standing. The movement shows a trajectory…

a new mythology to readjust themselves to the requirements of the modern world. His characters are found fantasizing in their attempt to cope with the seemingly irrational realities of life. For instance, Malachi Constant in The Sirens of Titan, Jonah in Cat’s Cradle and Billy Pilgrim in Slaughterhouse-Five seek imaginary props to their lives which have otherwise become intolerable thereby affording a possible or a potential mode of survival to…
