One teaching that shows how we can develop the greater good by sharing his love is the parable of the Good Samaritan. The story of the Good Samaritan is found in The Holy Bible in the Gospel of Luke 10:25-37. In the passage, a man traveling to Jerusalem is robbed and left for dead on the side of the road. Two people, a priest and a Levite, pass him and give him no aid. The third person, a Samaritan, who is considered an outsider, stops and bandages…

The theme of love lies at the heart of the Fourth Gospel, pervading every aspect of the book. The Synoptic Gospels focus on the theme as well, but in John’s Gospel Jesus directs his disciples to love God and their neighbor, based on Deuteronomy 6:4–5 and Leviticus 19:18. In John’s Gospel, Jesus’s only command for his disciples is to love one another (15:12), and he assures the reader that God loves those who keep his commandments (14:21, 23). John points to Jesus’s death as an example of the…

their own native tongue the Ewokese and no other person can speak this other than C-3PO. They are also very religious especially when they had a ritual to make Han Solo and Luke Skywalker their dinner. The Ewoks thought that C-3PO was their god and they treated him lots of respect and listened to him to let go of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. They also had a sacred tree, the Great Tree, which they thought were the descendants just as Na’vi. They still did primitive acts such as hunt for foods,…

where Star Wars had been released. I had never experienced first-hand the infamous twist that Darth Vader was actually Luke Skywalker’s, the protagonist of the original Star Wars trilogy, father in cinemas at the time of Empire Strikes Back’s release. I had never experienced what a visual marvel the film had actually been at the time. I consider myself to be one of the biggest Star…

This paper examines the figure of Jesus as portrayed in the Gospel according to Mark. I will seek to examine whether the religious teachings introduced, or actions displayed by Jesus were at odds with contemporary Greco-Roman and Jewish traditional practice. I will argue that Jesus as represented in the Gospel of Mark was, in both action and doctrine, the antithesis of what the Greek scholar, Celsus, would idealize as proper religious practice. To explain and defend my stance I will conduct a…

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace In 1998, Lucas Film released a teaser poster for their long waited and highly anticipated new movie, Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace.

In the Force Awakens, Leia must deal with her emotions revolving around her son, Ben, who had fallen to the dark side of the force. As Han tells her that he had seen their son, a look of concern comes over her face. Even with his betrayal, Leia says of her son to Han, “you think I want to forget him, I want him back.” She continues to say “we can still save him,” because “there is still light in him, I know it.” She refuses to give up one those she loves, and believes fervently in their…

Gospel of Matthew is a matter of fact called the Gospel “according to” Matthew. Due to the fact that Matthew was a Jewish man, his interpretation of his Gospel is different from the other three men that also wrote some of their own including John, Luke, and Mark. It can be seen that back in Jesus’ time Jews may have been prideful, in that by believing in Jesus they thought they may have been drifting away from their own traditional ways. This is when Matthew steps in to let them know that Jesus…

be the Synoptic Gospels/Problem. Analyzing the connections between the gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke have made it apparent to me that they are all using roughly the same information/stories with different themes to support the author’s motives and ideas on who Jesus of Nazareth should be. It should be noted that I did not support the Q hypothesis we discussed in class. From what I can tell, Luke more than likely copied from Matthew, and there is not a hypothetical document we have yet to…
