Peter S. Beagle

Both tradition and the internal evidence of 1 Peter agree upon the authorship of this epistle. 1 Peter 1:1 claims Simon Peter the apostle as the author of this letter. One of the original twelve disciples, this Peter is the only one mentioned in the New Testament. In 1 Peter 5:1, the author claims to be a “witness of the sufferings of Christ”. Along with this internal evidence, various early Christian sources also agreed that Peter was the author. The epistle also has a strong influence…

mothers in tow, and the mailmen were relaxing in their homes because of their one, rare day off that had been gifted to them on that fine summer day in July. And there was a certain group of persons, wizened from old age that had a grasp on their colt 's tooth, (1) watching the youngins gallop and hunt after each other, 'round and 'round they went- like a lost puppy chasing its tail. And it was on this fateful Sunday morning that a certain Lily Darling had sat outside her porch, her…

Over the past two years I’ve learned a significant amount of things regarding my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I’ve learned that, at times, my faith wasn’t strong enough; that I needed to pray to Jesus for help to increase my faith, and also the magnitude of faith when it pertains to Christianity. In his document, Discipleship and the Cross, Dietrich Bonhoeffer examines the Christian faith in this aspect. He goes on then to offer a detailed description of what he believes it one’s faith…

I do agree with some of Golding 's view points because that is true when you are stranded on a island you don 't have to listen to the government for what is right and what is wrong and you don 't have to care about what you are doing because society isn 't watching your every move. I…

By Christology standards and ideals, Jesus is more of an idea, a way of life than an actual human being. To explain further, all I simply mean is that the reason Christianity is followed is not because of the mythology behind it. It is because of the message it spreads, the positivity it spreads around the globe. It’s a way of life, therefore many people can interpret this way of life through their own perspective. Thier own experiences, which if you have faith, you can say that these…

The utilitarianism and deontological ethical theories can be used to explain the solution to the ethical dilemma of pushing sales versus demeaning the body image of a consumer. The utilitarianism theory posits that the greater good is the only concern and that the right course of action would lead to the least amount of pain or the greatest pleasure. As such, the theory takes into account the majority instead of the minority. Most advertisements and promotions get considerable share of…

Utilitarianism is an ethical theory that gauges the worth of actions by their ends and consequences. Utilitarianism, claims that a person should act in the way that produces the greatest amount of good over evil, and should consider everyone that would be affected by the action (Skelton,2017). In other words, the ethically “correct” action is the one that causes the most pleasure and the least pain for the greatest amount of people. This theory demands that all choices be considered based on the…

Utilitarianism is considered as one of the most prominent philosophical concepts. This model's core perspective emphasizes that actions are ethically acceptable or unacceptable depending on their consequences. Based on this understanding, it can be argued that utilitarians hold that the goal of morality is to improve life by enhancing some favorable things such as happiness in the world while minimizing undesirable aspects such as grief (Urmson, 33). Consequently, the core objective of this…

Moral Theory Of Utilitarianism. The moral theory of Utilitarianism is defined as to be that an action is only good only if it brings happiness to others. There are three sub principles that define the theory of Utilitarianism, Principle one talks about how consequences are all that matter in a situation or an action, that the final outcome/ results are those that matter. The second principle states that happiness is the only thing that matters and that we seek for pleasure more often and we…

During the late 18th century, Jeremy Bentham conceived the idea that human actions are driven by the amount of pleasure one may feel by completing the action. Known as utilitarianism, it states that pleasure is the main motivational force of all actions. Ideally, a morally good action would yield an optimal amount of pleasure for the most amount of people. Bentham stated that pleasure is a product of good actions, and that the value of an action is based off of how much total pleasure it can…
