Second Coming of Christ

Many Catholic followers would claim that the biggest breakthrough in Catholicism is Jesus Christ walking the Earth, but now centuries later modern followers are able to witness the second breakthrough which is Pope Francis speaking to US Congress. With previous leaders in the Vatican being very reserved and soft spoken, having someone such as Pope Francis is a massive change of pace for Catholic followers. Popes Francis continues to fight for social issues such as immigration, the poor, or the…

reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus”. For Paul, this was an…

with decisions that I’ve made, things that I have chosen to say, or with the way that I respect and love people. One main reason I think that I have matured as a person in this world, is because I have and continue to mature in my faith with Jesus Christ. Everyday I strive to be more like Jesus than the day before, and most days I fail, but the fact that I try and take little steps to be closer with Him, makes me grow and makes me mature. I also am a musician which requires you to be a…

Christianity but it was known that the story had Pagan rituals to be able to coexist with the people and the transition of religions wouldn’t be so big. They developed having a Christmas tree in the story and having Christ on a cross, also celebrate Christmas with a feast. “That Christ got on the cross, as the creed tells; and wherever this man in melee took part, his one thought was of this past all things else…” (Lines 643-645) They still thank God but for their strength and the things that…

Is our past history of destruction foreshadowing our future? Wright used archeological evidence to predict that our civilization will also end in turmoil. Wright is saying that often the trouble and problems in a society are due to the social structure. When people in a civilization are not working well together and the majority of the people in a society are being ruled by a few people. All the power is being concentrated and not everyone has an equal say. Wright provided the example of Easter…

sixth grade was my first year of middle school, meaning a whole new school, new school system with class schedules, lockers, multiple teachers, and having passing periods were all new concepts for me to grasp as a kid. More importantly however, the second reason sixth grade was so difficult for me was that over the summer leading to that school year, me and my family left the Catholic church that my mom’s family had been going to for about a hundred years or so, and it was a completely different…

shouted Shelby. As we are getting ready to play, my teammates and I are gritting our teeth. Kloey and I are so nervous, but we are excited to play too! I am warming up pitching for the big game and my heart is beating briskly. My pitches looked perfect coming into the game; I was ready! The umpire screams,”Head coaches!” Coach jogs up to the plate, and the game should start soon. We jump up and down with excitement and we are ready to play. Coach prays a short, simple prayer that God would…

Levine and discussing the “New Moses” theme that appeared in Matthew, which describes the similarities between Jesus and Moses (i.e. going on top of a mountain to get/give the Law), have helped a great deal in making this conceptual connection. The second conceptual topic, which I found to be the most compelling and interesting, would be the Synoptic Gospels/Problem. Analyzing the connections between the gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke have made it apparent to me that they are all using…

Metaphysics is the question what is really real in Core 250, as the second part of the core program here at Whitworth University. Trying to tackle the question of metaphysis a Greek philosopher named Plato believed there are two separate worlds in existence, there is one world where there are the material objects and then the other world contains the non-material objects or the “shadows.” However, another philosopher who followed Plato believed is the matter of the universe, form of the world,…
