2: Jesus cried out "My God! My God! Why Have You Forsaken Me!?" While Hanging On The Cross. Matthew 27 records this. Highly improbable Matthew would make up this saying and put it into Jesus' mouth since it makes it look like Jesus doesn't trust the Father, and it makes it look like Jesus forgot His mission. Why did Jesus say this? He quoted the first verse of Psalm 22 verbatim. This is a messianic Psalm according to most biblical scholars. When you cross-examine (pun intended) Psalm 22 with…

Peter Griffin: The Not So Typical Family Guy Pedophilia, mental disabilities, and terrorism are not usually the first thoughts that come to mind when a person contemplate comedy. Despite this fact, they are all subjects I have witnessed the well-known television show Family Guy poke fun at. This show represents a father, Peter Griffin, and his family and all of the ridiculous circumstances they put themselves in. While the majority of people do not find these subjects funny, they still find the…

heory that grants justification. Consequentialism is the theory that any action is justified if the consequences of the said action is also just. Although it is a logical theroy, we must not depend on consequentialism as a moral factor when it comes to judging other people. This is because judging an act by a consequence can actually bend the meaning of morality by justifying potentially horrible motives, which limits our view on justice. To recognize these facts, we can look at the novel, The…

Looney Tunes and Peter Pan The article Looney Tunes and Peter Pan written by Linda Christensen shows that “Children don’t pop out of the womb drawing Native Americans with feathers ad hook noses and coloring them red, but if you ask most students to draw or write down their images of Native Americans, their depictions will be shockingly similar” (Christensen 133). The quote is accurately true in the vast majority of children cases. Children are taught through images since they start going to…

Tyler Christopher has been missed on General Hospital ever since he left the show. Fans have always hoped that he would return and the rumors have flown about if Tyler would be back as Nikolas Cassadine or if they would bring someone else in to play the role. Nikolas is allegedly dead, but everyone knows that when a body isn't found on a soap opera, it is very possible the person will turn up at some point. Even if they are dead, they return sometimes. Now Soap Hub is sharing that Tyler…

The Petrine confession at 8:29 is a turning point in the life of the disciples’ walk with Jesus as it solves their problem of Jesus’ identity raised at 4:41; ‘Who can this be that even the wind and the sea obey him? He is the Christ! However, the problem of understanding Jesus’ mission now emerges and it is this problem that we shall concentrate on from 8:31:10:45. There are three subsequent points that demonstrate Jesus’ appreciation of the disciples’ progress in their walk with him after…

Utilitarianism is an ethical theory that treats all interests as equal and is based of the “Greatest happiness principle.” The greatest happiness principle basically says if everyone thinks it’s for the best and satisfies the most people, it has to be the right option. It aims for “the greatest good for the greatest number.” Founded by Jeremy Bentham, it targets the most happiness in everyone, which sounds like a pretty good option when you first look at it. Utilitarianism is a form of…

Peter then immediately changes the focus of his speech from the disciples and starts to proclaim Jesus. He attempts to make his listeners understand what in the past they may have not; he reminds them of how through his signs and wonders Jesus was attested to by God. Then he went on to confront them on the fact that they had been blind to this and put him to death by crucifying him, but that death could not keep him down because God raised him from the dead (v22-24). The apostle then again…
