Origin of Sin • In Genesis 3, Adam and Eve was tempted by the evil snake, he convinced Eve to eat from the tree of Good and Evil, by stating to her that ‘Did God really say that you must not eat from the tree. He convinced her that she would not die, and she would know good and evil like God.

Temptation is like a dangerous river with jagged rocks, ones in sucks you up like a black hole it doesn’t let go. In the excerpt from his biographical narrative A Summers life Gary Soto discusses the temptation that led Soto to sin/evil and he realizes that the pie that he enjoyed in guilt could never be erased. He describes this through the use of allusion and imagery. Through the use of allusion, the six year old broke his trust for himself and god. The author Soto alludes to Adam and Eve…

Milton uses allusions throughout Paradise Lost including biblical references, literary references and mythological references.

The most complex, and perhaps the most well-known myth in Christianity and Judaism is the fall of Adam and Eve. Created by ancient Hebrew nomads and recorded by Yahwhist (J) as Genisis 3:1-24, this narrative provides religious truth answering fundamental questions regarding the origin of sin. An artistic illustration of this story is Lucas Cranach the Elder’s Adam and Eve (1526), which depicts the moment of the First Sin. The Yahwhist text of Genesis 3:1-26 reflects the social-historical context…

Band-aids into Reconciliation When I was younger, I believed Band-aids were the thing that healed cuts and scrapes and not the antibiotic ointment, or even time, for that matter. As years went by, I came to find out that Band-aids only protected these cuts and scrapes from getting dirt or bacteria in them, thus causing an infection. Nevertheless, I still in a way believe that Band-aids are what make my cuts and scrapes better. Reconciliation does the same thing for me by making me better. It’s…

Under the enlightenment of conversion Saint Augustine opens up his famous autobiography, Confessions, with an exclamation to God, “you have made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you” (I. i. 1). The sentiment, while spoken to the Lord, is really directed at the readers on whom he hopes to impart his wisdom. Starting from his physical birth on Earth and ending with his spiritual birth into Christianity, St. Augustine weaves together a narrative in nine books using…

J. Miltоn's Paradise Lоst: The Cоncept оf Sin and the Fall оf Adam and Eve Biblical mоtives in general are significant symbоls that acquire different interpretatiоn in variоus epоchs, and are filled with different meanings. Miltоn's rоle in appealing tо the оld Testament's themes оf sin and errоr is very unique. He was the first tо viоlate the "traditiоnal" interpretatiоn оf the Biblical pоstulates, оffering his оwn interpretatiоn, оwn attitude, and transfоrmed the stоries tоld by the Bible…

Christians. We often get a bad rep in society. We are often seen as conservative-bible thumping- freaks, hardcore President trump supporters, homophobias, and over-the-top judgemental people. Christians. We are just as sinful as the non-Christians standing in front of us at the food court line at Costco. From the world’s perspective, why do we get a terrible notion for being more judgemental than our non-Christian counterparts? Before we move forth, we must realize there is bad judgement and…
