The above passages occur when Jesus and his disciples (who have just been become apostles) go to reside in what may be one of the homes owned by Simon and Andrew in Capernaum. They are surrounded by a multitude of people craving for attention. Outside of the crowd came Jesus’ earthly family, who thought he had lost his mind from all that has happened and seek to protect him from danger and to protect their family honor.

“[Austria] drowsed in peace in the deep privacy of a hilly and woodsy solitude where news from the world hardly ever came to disturb its dreams, and was infinitely content” was said by Theodor Fischer (148). This quote portrays Austria as a small country that basically shuts itself off from the rest of the world. There seems to be little that could change the country from its isolation and involve it in world problems. Realistically, we, the United States, is unable to cut itself off from the…

The Awakening Once upon a time in these United States, disaster was everywhere to be found. Less and less people were praying to god, getting married like it’s written in the bible. People were brainwashed with satanic images on to and in books to do mean things and in general, not obeying god’s sacred commandments. Girls also acted like boys and were on the loose, spreading sin wherever they went. All these terrible things where possible under the rule of King Carter, who was an evil ruler…

Darkness, demonic forces, and flames of hell come to mind when you think of evil. God, angels, and Heaven come to mind when you think of good. An old epic poem kept alive by the Anglo Saxons represents all of these thoughts. It was written between the eight, and eleventh century being one of the oldest literary writings. In this epic poem that consisted of many conflicts between good and evil, we find a strong hero and loyal warrior, who battles against the demons, from hell. Beowulf a classical…

Bible’s book of Genesis, it is safe to say that John Milton is no stranger to the Christian doctrine and certainly does not shy away from theological and poetic license. In fact, Milton asserts that the intention behind his poem is to “justify the ways of God to man” () and that the best way to do this, is to focus on the event that led mankind to lose its ability to properly connect with heaven: Adam and Eve’s first act of disobedience. Yet, Milton does not straightforwardly…

In the year 2010, Father John Murray had a bone chip from his neck and it sliced down into his…

Milton’s Paradise Lost is about the Fall of Man, but specifically focuses on Satan as a fallen angel. Milton describes how Satan was created as a beautiful angel, perfect and stunning, but he was too proud.…

Hell, those that don’t recognize the Heavenly qualities of it. The implications of making a Heaven of Hell and a Hell of Heaven are shown everyday. In more modern terminology, mind over matter is a widely known expression that means exactly what Milton (Satan) says. The mind over matter philosophy is commonly applied to working out. Working out, Hell, can give the one working out their desired body, Heaven. By pushing through a little Hell to get to Heaven, the task at hand is often seen as a…

Satan illustrates God as a “Terror of Heav’n” (Milton 2:457), with his rivals “[dreading] not more th’ adventure than his voice” (2:474). From his observations, Satan demonstrates his scathing opinion of God as a ruler, viewing his ability to govern as authoritarian. The resulting imagery and characterization…
