Seven deadly sins

What if you were miles from home and engaged into a conversation about you? Could you answer truthfully about yourself? Would you get a piece of paper and write at least ten different things to identify yourself? At the end of the day who are you really and how have I been living. Ask questions like did I put down who I am when the doors are closed, when I am alone and not thinking about what will people say (Guthrie, Shirley Caperton 192). Sciences that study human nature and behavior are…

Additionally, throughout the poem there are specific mentions of the Catholic Church’s and or their God’s weakness in comparison with the freedom of the fair folk and Fenians which Oisin experienced in the Otherworld. An example of this is when Oisin is relating their revelries after a battle with the demon, he exclaims: We sang the loves and angers without sleep, And all the exultant labours of the strong. But now the lying clerics murder song with barren words and flatteries of the weak.…

What exactly is sin in it's essence? A question that without the aid of an outside stimulus we cannot fully comprehend. Seeing as many aren't fully up to date on this topic, it is important to understand and have the cognition of what sin is. Reportedly, the Catechism of the Catholic Church has stated, “Sin is an offense against reason, truth, and right conscience; it is failure in genuine love for God and neighbor caused by a perverse attachment to certain goods” (Catechism of the Catholic…

stream in biblical thought. It begins in the second creation narrative, is woven through the stories of Cain and Abel, Babel, David, and Bathsheba, and finds voice in prophetic pronouncement. In this moral vision, evil is rooted in human sin. Creation is tarnished by sin and evil, but evil does not threaten human confidence in a just and meaningful world order”.…

Amaimon seemed to begin relaxing, which was good. The calmer the other was the safer he would be. "I missed you too, today was so very long. I am happy to be home and see you again," he felt like a broken record. Amaimon was repeating himself, almost childishly, pleadingly and so he repeated his little lies back. Amaimon still seemed sad though and it put him on edge to be completely honest. Yet he hid it as best he could and it became easier when the other leaned against him. Those words were…

Saint Augustine’s book The City of God talks about the idea of free will and whether humans are truly able to exhibit the idea of free will if God knows all the can possibly happen. During the time of St. Augustine and still to this day many question if humans really are able to exhibit free will, but instead are subject to the will of God. St. Augustine instead perched the idea that humans do exhibit free will, whether it be through the wills of God or against it. St. Augustine argues that it…

Hamlet is not just “an allegory of our time,” but it is an allegory of all time. While I tend to agree with Goddard, it’s only because of how sweeping and broad his two “forces” and “choices” are. With imagination or violence, one could contend that if any violence—whatsoever—is absent, then only one’s imagination is left, and vice versa. And his reasoning for war of a “pressure of events” is spot on, but this leads me to a disagreement. I disagree in his unbridled claim of their only being a…

character and condition of godly people and wicked people, those that serve God and those who do not serve God. Psalm discuss the fact that the children of God and the children of the wicked one, as it is ancient. Since the terrible struggle began between sin and grace; the seed of woman and the seed of serpent, so it is lasting. Survive all other divisions and subdivisions of men into high and low, rich, poor, bond and free; for this men’s everlasting state will be determined and the…

1Peter 2:19-20 says, “For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God”. There is a suffering common to man; we have a name for those things like natural disaster and cancer. Then there is the sort of suffering we endure because we worship the Lord, we are hated by many and…

God-haters, and just in general insolent, arrogant, and boastful behaviors. (Romans 1:29-32) Paul literally upon arrival in Rome sees every sin that one could possibly think of.…
