It was a cold day with light flurries, but my pipe and the weather seemed to have a calming effect on me. I couldn’t help thinking about the Roman soldiers. Being a soldier in a foreign land prompted evil behavior, but that was war. I was glad to be away from Nam and all the trapping of war: the killing, the bullying of women and children. I was thinking about my mistreatment of the Vietnamese women when I realized that I had reached the sidewalk in front of our house. My aunt and uncle were…

When considering what the main reason that the 1905 Revolution failed was, we must understand that there were many reasons that ultimately contributed to its failure. The armed forces remained loyal to the Tsar, ensuring that the rebels did not get out of hand. The revolutionaries had differing political opinions which meant that it was impossible for them to be united, making them easy targets to be wiped out. The October Manifesto seemed to be the solution that many of the revolutionaries were…

Saint Luke the Evangelist is a very humble person willing to help other, especially if it is ordered by God to do so. Saint Luke has devoted his life to Christianity and Jesus, known for being a man of many crafts, and a close friend of the Apostle Paul. Luke is also known for his good relationship with the women around him, and Jesus himself. Luke was such a good servant of God and Jesus that he was allowed to have an influence on the bible, including having a book named after him. According…

attend the synagogue and it’s a rest day for them. Jesus did many miracles on Sabbath such as healing Peter’s mother in law, and a man with deformed hand. When Jesus left the synagogue, he went to Andrew and Simon’s house with John and James. Simon’s mother in law was really sick with a fever. Jesus heard about her once so he came, took her hand and raised her up and as soon as she did that, her fever was gone. When she felt better, she started serving them. Another day when Jesus was at the…

Ill-fated by the Khodynka Tragedy, the reign of the last Tsar was plagued with public discontent from his inauguration. Nicholas’ fear that he was “not prepared to be Tsar” caused him to cling to the outdated social and economic rhetoric of his father, Tsar Alexander III, despite the rapidly changing and evolving state of Russia. By 1905, many of the classes, particularly the peasants, urban workers and the reformist middle class were angered and politicized by Nicholas’ reactionary policies.…

The book of Mark gives a similar however different view of Jesus as a person than the book of Matthew. This book does not talk about the childhood of Jesus. It talks about his life as a leader up to his crucifixion and resurrection. The book talks about different ways Jesus was perceived. He was perceived as a great leader as well as a teacher and leader by his disciples. Later in the book it talks about how they felt about him being the leader. They did not really question his leadership…

Audience To determine the audience of the Gospel of John, it is easier to determine what the purpose of John was first. The author of John is blunt about what the purpose of writing his gospel was, and John 20:31 most clearly states that “But these are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.” This verse can further be supported by John 8:24 and John 3:16, all of which collectively describe the…

Andrew, Peter’s brother, was a fisherman from…

The Jesus movement was spreading like wildfire throughout the Roman Empire in early years of the Common Era. Before the Jesus movement, women were being suppressed and had to submit to man 's authority. Women had no right to hold a higher position in life or in the church. Women had very little choices of what they really wanted to become in their later years. They were either to be a housewife or labeled as being whores. The Jesus movement was an important time for women to spring up and do…
