Joshua

Joshua 1:9 is a powerful scripture; however, I can’t speak on it without including Hebrews 11:1 which states that “Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. These two scriptures should give us all the encouragement we need to overcome any task set before us. God continues to provide us with the strength, support, will power, and determination to overcome any challenge set before us. As it relates to our business,…

of, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” This quote is etched on the Statue of Liberty, a symbol of freedom for immigrants entering America, a place of hope, of safety. However, in the book Spare Parts, by Joshua Davis, we see a journey of a group of young illegal immigrants from Mexico, who face hardships, fears of being deported, and ultimately success against one of the most prestigious universities. We will delve into the aspects of my thoughts of…

Joshua Rothman begins his article, “America: The Redeemer Nation” by bringing up the story that the Civil Rights Movement have been inspired by which is the Americans escape injustice that we all celebrated but now we don’t follow up to that story. There are some opposing views to this for example.

So I asked myself, much like I would later question the interviewees, “What are Joshua McPhails’ major personality traits?”. Surprisingly, coming up with the answers to this question, about the one person in the world, I should know best came with a challenge. After much consideration and introspection I came up with this list of six…

was a seemingly impossible task due to the massive walls protecting the city, but the Lord had a plan. The Lord told Joshua of his plan to conquer the city, and Joshua told his people exactly what to do in order to overthrow Jericho. Joshua 6: 1-21 is part of The Book of Joshua and is the only evidence of the city being taken over by the Israelites.

In his book titled The Sabbath, Abraham Joshua Heschel outlines the transcendence of the Sabbath in terms of the personal relationship between Jews and God. Heschel wrote on how the Sabbath stands as a testament to time for the Jewish people, in that they would be able to withdraw themselves from their secular lives, one day a week, to further appreciate the world God has created. He specifically holds an issue with the increasingly materialistic sense of society and memorably notes how things…

In Two Cultures of Punishment by Joshua Kleinfield (2016), the Kleinfield compares how American and European nations differ in moral visions when inflicting punishment upon the offender. In America, crimes that are committed are viewed as morally wrong, not just to the victim, but to the entire society .

Knobe asserts that people's intuitions have often played a significant role in philosophical debates within analytic philosophy (Knobe 2007: 81), particularly when dealing with moral questions. Indeed,…
