Salvation Run

There are many different platforms in history in which people created magnificent pieces of literature like, Walt Whitman’s O Captain! My Captain! or even the ever popular Rosie the Riveter “We Can Do It” poster, that have such a strong rhetorical impact. This impact also extends past the time they were popular but also into the current age because of the effective context that ethos, pathos and logos are used. Sinners In The Hands Of an Angry God by Jonathan Edwards is one of the most…

“Never forget that justice is what love looks like in public” ― Cornel West • God has been the subject of much scrutiny throughout history based on the point of his version of justice. Numerous people call God to be the source of true justice, while others say He is the antithesis of justice and a criminal Himself. God 's sense of justice has been debated for years,while both ethologist and biblical scholars alike, allow themselves to be consumed in this argument. While God has compassed quite…

cause man to fall and leave him unable to follow God. Following the flesh is death, and all men will follow the flesh through the weakness of the flesh. The law is powerless through us because it is weekend by our flesh. It cannot provide us with salvation because the flesh is weak in accordance with the law. However, Christ died and rose again to lead us away from sin and death caused by the flesh. God saw our need for a perfect savior, and he sent his own Son. Jesus came in the likeness of…

from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.” (NIV). This is talking about the saved and the unsaved and how exactly God deals with the individual according to the circumstance of their salvation. In those days, the Jews were expected to uphold a much higher standard than the Gentiles were. This is the same as Christians today are expected to maintain a particular standard and those who are not saved are not held quite to that…

A fair reading of Thornton provides a clear picture of an unconquered king, voluntarily accepting the message of salvation through Jesus Christ and submitting to the will of God in baptism. Thornton affirms, “Since Kongo converted to Christianity of its own free will, the shape and structure of the Church and its doctrines were determined as much by Kongo as by Europeans.” (pg. 148). This voluntary conversion occurred when the king and his ruling nobles were baptized in 1491. Thornton asserts…

There are many different views on whether the biblical book of Romans accurately displays an accurate display of the gospel through the use of the “Roman Road” dialog. The Roman Road utilizes specific scriptures throughout the book and lays the foundation for the non-believer to get a glimpse of our sin and God’s grace and forgiveness. The method starts by declaring humans are sinful people, Romans 3:10 “as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one;” Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and…

Death is one of the hardest facts of life; it is inevitable one day we will all face it. To many this is just a part of the course of our lives. But to those who have religious beliefs, death not only takes us from this physical earth, but also brings us to face our creator, where we will receive our judgment based on our deeds. Everyman is a morality play written in the 15th century. The play was written by an unknown author who was believed to be a priest, based on the theological content and…

The Ministers Black Veil is one of Hawthorne’s earlier works, but it is by far one of the most popular short stories he wrote. Parson Hooper is a young minster that begins to wear a black veil at all times. The sudden appearance of the black veil leads to a sense of confusion that spreads throughout the Puritan community. Hawthorne uses the black veil to symbolize the many forms of sin that people have. The Minister, Parson Hooper, wears the veil form the time the story begins to his death at…

As many have heard, Target recently made the decision to open all bathrooms to gender neutrality so as not to exclude transgendered people. In doing so, they opened up the door for pedophiles to more easily target children. As such, because of ties against both the LGBT crowd, and sexual offenders, many Christians have said they would boycott Target. On the outside, that appears to make sense, however, it no longer does to me the more I think about it. This is probably the most radical…

The Saving Power The word save means to keep safe or rescue from harm or danger. The first recording of a person being saved was thousands of years ago, and this ad is trying to increase that number. There are three main points to this ad that appeals to the reader. These points are the blue sky, the scripture in the middle of the ad, and the cross. The entire page of this ad is a light blue. The color blue is said to sooth the brain. Even better, light blue is said to calm the mind,…
