Judas Priest

Even though the Passion Narratives of the four Gospels are very alike in numerous of ways, there are also many important differences among them.The three Synoptic Gospels correlate with one another (because Matthew and Luke go off of Mark), while John’s writings are much different, especially when it comes to chronology. Also, while Matthew and Mark are very similar to each other and almost the same, Luke is different from them and is more similar to John. In addition, an unspecified amount of…

Leading this mob was Judas, one of the 12 disciples. Jesus was arrested and taken to the high priest who tries to find a reason to kill him. He asks Jesus if he is the Messiah, Jesus replies yes. From there his clothes were torn off, he was blindfolded, spit at, and was beaten. Jesus is then sent to Pontius Pilate…

In a land where myths and legends abound, there is a blind man who sees everything and the one who sees is blinded, he cannot see the truth that lies in his reflection. Sophocles writes a great detective story in Oedipus Rex. Oedipus is a hero that turns to be a detective king, which turns into a tragic hero through hamartia. “Although hamartia is often translated as ‘tragic flaw,’ there is a debate among scholars as to the nature and scale of the error that causes a tragic hero’s downfall.…

we have not recognized Him. He has His disciples and they followed him closely. At this point the chief Priest and the elders are coming to the Garden. Why? Because of one man’s greed for money or fame. Judas Iscariot has betrayed Christ for 30 pieces of silver, the price of a Potters field, as it is told. These people take Christ into custody for trial by the Roman Governor. Judas has delivered as promised and once…

bible does it say that the Eucharist should be conducted only in a building during a church service. I would like to see various Christian religions, or better yet all religions, within our communities come together and share a decent meal with a priest or preacher or someone who is a religious figure presiding over the meal. It is not the meal that makes the Eucharist important, it is the remembrance of Christ and his sacrifice that is important, so having a gathering that lasts a considerable…

A wise man once stated “The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies,” According to Webster, betrayal involves the breaking or violation of a presumptive contract, trust, or confidence that produces moral and psychological conflict within a relationship amongst individuals. William Shakespeare, Dante Alighieri, and F. Scott Fitzgerald all critically follow this trend by developing characters whose acts of betrayal lead to disastrous outcomes for themselves and those…

For Judas “he did look among the prison population for a man to pose as Judas”. He also states that “no prisoners were brought from Rome and that the same person that posed for Jesus was not the same man’’. However, there are others who recorded that this is a true story. There is more reports…

Previously, the Jewish community had been exiled to Babylon and required to intersperse with other ethnic and national groups. Cyrus made changes and allowed them to return to Jerusalem. Under the leadership of Sheshbazzar, Zerubbabel, and Jeshua the priest, the Jews began the process of rebuilding the temple. When the project was finished in 516, the ceremonial worship was…

radiate beauty, while the worst are those that kill. Not all shrubberies are welcome, such as the purple flowers of the Judas tree. These beautiful, yet morbid, flowers should be kept at bay from the hearts of the tender because of their sinister connotation. Theses budding beauties symbolize death or betrayal in literature, as is the example of the character Engino in “Flowering Judas” by Anne Kathrine Porter; his hands are greedily eaten by Laura in a dream. Themes of betrayal and no perfect…

All pagan statues and images were destroyed and the heretic priests were put to death. As Bible notes in 2 Kings 23:10-13-14 the reformist King "put an end to these abominations and the place was polluted by Josiah, who renders it ceremonially unclean by spreading over it human bones and other corruptions. He desecrated…
