Judas Priest

The Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ Jesus is betrayed by a one of his disciples named Judas Iscariot. Judas betrays Jesus with a kiss alerting the legion of soldiers who Jesus was. The eleven disciples of Jesus are angry and confused, but Jesus goes to the cross freely. Before that happens, Peter denies Jesus just as Jesus foretold. Jesus is mocked and beaten and is questioned many times before they nailed him to the cross. Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, just as he foretold…

We have several people in this class that are gentlemen and gentlewomen farmers. I helped my mother and dad who loved to garden as a youngster. To say that I loved to working in the garden as a youngster would classify as a whooper of a lie. So I don’t claim any great knowledge as a gardener. But even a novice gardener like me, is aware of what Jesus was telling us when He discussed pruning a vine. I remember suckering plants with mom and dad. (Ask those present why they would remove stems and…

1. What was the reading about? What new information did it provide? C. Robert Mesle in the book Process-Relational Philosophy claims that God has gone through experiences of all sorts. Based on this argument, he further mentions Whitehead’s claims about the “primordial nature of God.” (PR 46, 343-51) This is to state that God has “no moral character.” In the book, Process Theology A Basic Introduction, C. Robert Mesle claims again that the freedom of the world has to deal with God and God’s…

First of all, Finny dies because of Gene’s sin. When Gene visits Leper, Leper is the first to accuse him of making Finny fall out of the tree, “… you knocked Finny out of the tree.” (145). Gene symbolizes Judas because he betrayed Finny. His betrayal resulted in Finny’s death. Also, Brinker symbolizes Pontius Pilate. Brinker holds the trial which ends in Finny falling down the stairs. Brinker is partially responsible for Finny’s death. In addition, Gene is only able to forgive himself because…

They are both called “the Son of Perdition” (John 17:22; 2 Thess. 2:3). Might the name Judas share something in common with the name Donald Trump? (You’re starting to get good at answering these rhetorical questions, aren’t you?) The name Judas means, “praised”. The name Iscariot means, “man of the city.” Together they mean, “Praised man of the City”. And Trump is the ultimate praised man of the city. Barbara Walters…

Jesus and Judas Iscariot. In the synoptic gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John, Judas is also included but he is portrayed differently. In the Gospel of Judas, he is a portrayal of Jesus instead of a betrayer of Jesus. In the gospel, Jesus often laughs at the apostles for their ignorance, and he provides a different explanation of Jesus. In addition, he concludes Judas as the thirteenth disciple and he commissions Judas to portray him. Throughout the conversations between Jesus and Judas an…

He is Judas all the way through to his moment of regret for the Duchess’ death, just as Judas regrets his betrayal of Christ, when he decides to turn coat, even promising Antonio to be on his side. But in a fascinating moment, Webster makes Bosola kill Antonio. I say makes because it is convoluted for…

been promised “salvation,” while others ought to receive “damnation” ? It is interesting to explore this perspective with comparison to the story of Judas Iscariot. Judas was one of the disciples of Jesus Christ, whom Jesus chose to follow him and he was the betrayer. Judas’ inclusion in the part of Jesus’ death and resurrection convey that if Judas had not betrayed Jesus, how would Jesus be taken into the hands of authority and nailed to the cross. Do Jesus’ words “..It would have been better…

He alludes to Judas Iscariot’s violent end with a mention of “a tree swinging” (26). Of course, Eliot recalls this infamous—perhaps ultimate—loss of faith to reveal the dangers of such a loss of faith to his readers. Any good Christian reading Eliot’s work would know that Judas committed the ultimate betrayal of Christ, and set in motion the events that would lead to the crucifixion. The comparison of the hollow men to Judas himself implies eternal damnation for the men…

As a finance major, I agree with Dante’s warning or hoarding and squandering wealth. From a more economical point of view, our world consists of two types of people, lenders and borrowers. The economy can only function when the people with money can lend to the people without money. Through this process people with money can be good stewards of their money and help those with less afford things they need, like houses. This whole process is built upon stewardship, justice and love and…
