At the heart of the debate concerning women in office, all scholars and pastors address 1 Timothy 2:11-12. Those who do not affirm women in office argues that Paul specifically states "Let women learn in quietness.... I do not permit women to teach or to exercise authority over a man... she is to remain quiet." In order to best understand Paul 's statement, we must focus on three words which are "quietness (ἡσυχίᾳ),"permit (ἐπιτρέπω)," and "exercise authority (αὐθεντεῖν)." "Quietness... (γυνὴ ἐν…

through over inflating a crisis or extra coverage. Joseph Draznin, who specializes in Philosophy, from the University of Maryland, College Park authored a very lengthy piece, titled “News Coverage of Terrorism: The Media Perspective. Draznin starts by going into detail about the basics of both terrorism and the news media industry as a whole. There is only one problem with Draznin’s work is that this piece was published in 1997, so virtually all online media is excluded from his…

The author of The Lottery, Shirley Jackson, makes use of symbolism throughout her short story to get her intended purpose across to the audience. Throughout the storyline, the image of the “black-box” is mentioned approximately 20 times. This box plays quite a large role in the plot of the story in that the pieces of paper inside of it ultimately determines the fate of one the villager’s lives. Whichever individual draws the sheet of paper from the black box with the black dot on is plagued with…

or polyandry (one woman marrying more than one man) as the norm. In fact, in God’s eyes it was sin and it was only mentioned in the Bible so that we can read about the mistakes that our forefathers made in the Old Testament and learn from them. The New Testament gives us some clarity and transparency into God’s mind about His thoughts on polygamy. Male spiritual leaders are commanded in 1 Timothy 3 to have one wife. Titus 1 also mentions a similar phrase: “the husband of one wife.” While these…

Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery”, became the most controversial piece when published in 1948 by The New Yorker. This unexpected story may have deceived readers to believe that it would foreshadow happiness, yet ironically Jackson surprised her enthusiasts by using symbolism to conceal her true intentions. The story begins with a sense of liberation as the author uses unclear depictions to grasp the reader’s attention. At first the plot may seem dreary but once Jackson introduced the towns lottery…

with pop music today being replayed multiple times, I think the only way to revert to semi-original radio is to tune into AM talk radio. A very controversial station which I stumbled upon was with Sean Hannity, who is in association with Fox news (a republican news station). Even though I am conservative, I do catch myself catching onto how wording his ideas plays a role. Sean Hannity seems to be an expert in portraying his ideas of political views in only showing negative outcomes and…

Lord Jesus Christ. Reaching those who do not know Christ can be done through both local and global missions. This paper will establish a biblical and theological basis for global missions. God has revealed Himself both in the Old Testament and the New Testament as a missionary God. He has sent His Son to die for the world and reconcile people to Himself from every nation, tribe, and tongue. This is the work of God and He is to receive all the glory. Missions is God-centered and He…
