New Vision

of Paul’s writings about the Church were used for a way to organize the Church and also were used by, “numerous communities of the late 1st and early 2nd centuries preserved Paul’s letters and tried valiantly to apply aspects of his thought to the new situations in which they found themselves.” Even Augustine used Paul’s letters to help form his thoughts over the doctrine of sin. Augustine interpreted Romans 5:12-21 to mean that sin was handed down to us because of the original sin of Adam.…

is made of two parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament. Although Heaven is often mentioned in the Bible, it is rarely described. The Christian religion was born in Palestine, on the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Christianity began as a movement within Judaism. Christianity began with a man known as Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus Christ lived in the holy land 2,000 years ago. Around the age of 30, Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. He had a vision in which he received the blessing of God. He…

Imagination by standard definition is the faculty or action of forming new ideas, or images or concepts of external objects not present to the senses. In bases, imagination is the ability to vision (envision) something that you haven’t experienced of seen happen. As a designer, I often rely on my imagination to create new clothing ideas from flat fabric. Looking at the fabric, I then will (will then) see a vision of how the fabric will end as I manipulate it into become a shirt, pans, skirt…

It is in the New Testament where we find the ultimate blessing, who is, no other than, Jesus Christ. In the perfect moment, Jesus Christ came to die on a cross. Can anyone tell me why did Jesus Christ come to the world? Yes, Jesus Christ came to die for humanity’s sins…

with the heavenly authority. Harrington says that “it explains the significance of the vision”. It was in the third person talking about God, to confirm the relationship of the Lord with His people; He was dwelling among them. This is not new to John’s hearers, because they are already familiar with the language of “dwelling among them” in John 1:14. Again, the scene has come to the beginning, but in a new dimension; divine access is more immediate and direct. This is a fulfillment of the…

an extra mile with the Post-New Perspective by Douglas Campbell which is rather a surprising element but offer new angles. Campbell teaches on the New Testament as a Professor and is based at Duke University. This background is an added flavour and in the introduction Michael Bird says this about him, “... he occupies a position that is a bit more difficult to describe. Campbell does not stand in any single school......we have labelled Campbell’s position as ‘Post-New Perspective on Paul” (13).…

politics. The sense of reality and the feel around us is important in our mindscape. Not only, but also the taste that discriminates between knowledge and fantasy. This is how science becomes a dominant force in our society. The mindscape of single vision is reparation of dream. It is an illusion, imagination, which means, it is not concrete. The way our sensors organized, we view the world through some subject, we separate the mind from the body. We disconnect from our senses to experience most…

Saint Pio of Pietrelcina was a man of miracles and wonders. Not only did he create a long string of controversial accounts of apparitions and visions, he also created a legacy of followers, all praying to him for miracles and guidance. Famously known for the stigmata, amongst many other supernatural occurrences, he was a determined man dedicated to his vocation of service and prayer. We can all only hope to be as dedicated to our goals as he was, especially during those fifty years of suffering…

more and more money. The Great Depression had hit America. Roosevelt had came in to try to get people back on track and more people to trust the economy. The New Deal was made, and it was very controversial. The New Deal had gave long term effects and assisted various people from different groups. Gaining Confidence One of the reasons that the New Deal had benefit us was that it enforced that stock markets and banks to be regulated. Because many people had went to the stocks to receive their…

blurred out due to the crashing waves. The sounds began to fade as my vision grew blacker, then I woke up. As soon as my eyelids shot open, I heard people screaming. I staggered up, immediately regretting the choice. The room swayed as I struggled to stay on my feet. This was what living on the Mayflower for sixty-six days felt like. My mother, my brother, and I had been pilgrims on the voyage. We decided to leave England for the “New World” for religious freedom. Over one hundred of us…
