Jesus are represented through the four New Testament Gospels: Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. Each Gospel emphasizes on particular principles that represent Jesus differently. Jesus is seen as the suffering Messiah in all four Gospels, but each Evangelist puts in his own intake, hence expanding on the original Markan portrait of Jesus. The writers of the Gospels give their own theological assertions, and understandings, which in effect creates a new portrait of Jesus for each Gospel. The Gospel…

Sanders’ refutation of the ‘proverbial interpretation’ of these verses, it seems that Jesus’ commandment provides a ‘negative thrust’ and ‘ironic twist’ in order to almost mock the issue of secondary burial as the primary issue of the passage in Matthew.

But there are other elements that may suggest Divinity – for instance, the great beam of light shining through the window casts a forceful presence and unnatural spotlight on Levi (Matthew). The light itself may be significant in spiritual symbolism as there is no shadow projected behind Levi, rather, his whole face and upper body…

Through this passage form The Gospel of Saint Matthew, it can be understood that Jesus…

locally sourced food isn’t as good for the planet as people think it is, there must be another solution. Luckily, there is; the solution is to cut meat and dairy out of one’s diet, even if for just one day per week. Christopher Weber and H. Scott Matthews, engineering professors at Carnegie Mellon University, calculated that reducing the miles travelled to transport food all the way down to zero, which is a nearly impossible goal, “would reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the…
