In a two part series named The Cartoon Wars, the writers of South Park go after the question of freedom of speech and censorship on television. In Part 1, there is a national concern that a Family Guy episode featuring an image of Mohammed should not be broadcast. Family Guy is another animated TV show that the writers are trying to poke fun at. In the episode, Family Guy is aired on Fox Network and in Part 1 of the series, the network censors the image of Mohammed. “Family Guy is known to be an…

Second Timothy is a book that Paul writes as a good bye letter to Timothy. In the book Paul is telling Timothy to carry on the ministry. He expresses this in Second Timothy four verse five, “As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” Another main point Paul is trying to get across to Timothy, is to guard the treasure of the gospel. One place he puts that in the Bible is in second Timothy one verse fourteen, “By the Holy Spirit who…

The first reference to the beast is found in the beginning of Chapter Two, when a littlun claims he saw a “beastie” in the woods at night. However, all the boys belittle the littlun, dismissing any idea of a “beastie”. The beast is not referenced to again until Chapter Five, when Ralph calls an assembly after the signal fire goes out. Ralph confronts the boys about their general fear of the beast, and Jack assures the concerned boys that there is no beast on the island. However, one littlun…

What does it mean to be a disciple? According to Dictionary.com, a disciple is: a person who is a pupil or an adherent of the doctrines of another; follower So... when a Christians claims be a "disciple" of Jesus, what they are actually saying, in essence, is this: I am a person who is a pupil or an adherent of the doctrines of Jesus; a follower of Jesus. Does that mean that we spend our time learning about Jesus, talking about Jesus, retelling the parables he told, telling of the…

Introduction to the Book of Philippians Introduction Paul’s short epistle to the Philippians was in essence a thank you letter to a church in Philippi that he himself had established sometime during his second missionary journey (Acts 16:12). The tone of the epistle is apparent, Paul regards the Philippi church dear to his heart and it is also apparent that the church’s sentiments towards Paul are similar (Phil 1:7). The epistle is Paul’s response to the Philippi church where he takes the time…

During the apostle Paul imprisonment, he wrote a letter to the church, in the book of Colossians. The apostle Paul intent was for the people to live as best they could, the life that Jesus lived. These were the instructions that he gave to the church. Epaphras is believed to have founded the church (Col. 1:7). He communicated with Paul while he was in prison, letting Paul know a couple of things was taking place. Although some people were getting saved in the church there was still a lot…

Peter, just as many of the people in the world today, struggled with doubting his own faith. A prime example of this is the story of The Walking on the Water from the gospel of Matthew. In this passage Jesus sends the disciples out across the sea while He goes to pray up on the mountain. As the disciples sailed off, the boat got caught in a storm. In the middle of the night Jesus began to approach the disciples, and at first they did not believe that it was really Him. They said fearfully that…

Utilitarian Consequentialism basically surrounds itself based off the idea that an action can be evaluated in terms of pleasure and pain in causes. With Utilitarian it attempts to weigh out the options, in which they will arrive at a moral decision and the decision will be that will cause the least amount of pain possible but will have the happiest outcome in the end of it all. The utilitarian consequentialist viewpoint on human water is arguable to be valid because to be able to allow human…

Much can be gained by a study of the personal letters of a first-century missionary to one of his most trusted disciples. Paul wrote almost half of the New Testament, but only four of his letters are written to individuals. Of these four, I’ve chosen 1Timothy to further explore. Thirty years of labor for the gospel took its toll on Paul. His body bore the suffering of a servant of Jesus Christ. The intensity of his sufferings never changed the intensity of his love and concern for the churches…

Traveling to an island looking for something no one knows anything about is an adventure of a lifetime. Exploring the unknown can bring many different emotions from many different people. Having a crew where all the information is disclosed even after setting sail. Once arriving, seeing the native villagers participating in a ceremony and then disrupting/spoiling the ceremony caused everything to go downhill. The 1933’s King Kong is a subpar film in my opinion. Its filled with a very early…
