The Originals

Smith claims the seven characteristics that describe Original Buddhism are that it is verifiable by experience, scientific, realistic, remedial, focused on to the physical, equal for all people, and concentrated on the individual person. Of all seven of these characteristics I believe the best descriptor is verifiable by experience or personal beliefs. Buddhism is probably the most loosely guideline religion out of all the ones we have studied so far. There is not a whole lot of structure or…

primary and secondary resources are vital to a good literature review. There are different types of primary and secondary sources that a nurse might use when preparing for a research project. Primary and Secondary Resources A primary source is “original information presented by the person or people responsible for creating it” (Schmidt &Brown, 2012). Primary sources always offer full references to others’ work cited information contained in the paper. Examples of primary sources for the purpose…

The dominant puritan concept of original sin was, apparently, a harsh philosophy that proposed the proper way of rearing of children. In the puritan concept, parents were expected to thoroughly cleanse the child. The idea of helping the child to be cleansed of the original sin was dominant in this concept. The puritan concept did not stress the importance of giving children an education. All infants were sired in a sinful state and were under the original curse and spiritually dead. Unless…

Part Two: Synthetic Catholic Moral Theology Catholic Moral Theology is centered on natural law. Most basically human actions should align with the divine will of God to be deemed morally good. Therefore, no act of humans can change the will, power and knowledge of God's divine will even if people sin against God. There is an important emphasis on ordering in one's life that must be founded on love, love of God, love of thyself, and love of neighbors. The situation at the time of St. Augustine…

The fall of man is a very confusing concept to me. I never understood how Adam and Eve could have sinned like they did after being so close to God, after walking and talking with Him directly. I always told myself “If I had been Adam or Eve, there is no way I would have disobeyed God after being so closely united to Him”. But then I think “So why do I keep sinning after every time I receive the Eucharist? Adam and Eve are created in the garden of Eden and everything is in accord with…

view of good and evil, because of my Christian background and these different approaches made me think more critically about the nature of good and evil. For example, in Christianity the fall from good to evil is because of Adam and Eve’s original sin. Original sin is transmitted to the rest of humanity going forward so evil is a persisting reality. Sin is present and continues in human life. I have always been familiar with the story of Adam and Eve, but I have never looked at…

Gamache 1 Melissa Gamache Sonia Zylberberg Sex & Religion November 23rd The Gospel According to Jesus Christ by José Saramago Catholicism is one of the most know religions around the world. It is meant to “learn to know, love, and serve God from Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who teaches us through the Catholic Church” (Online, Catholic. "Catholic Facts and General Knowledge”), yet people may have different beliefs and views on certain religions like catholicism. Accordingly, living in a…

some kind of calculation. With the “original position” (14) and the “veil of ignorance” (15) idealized reasoners can understand the “difference principle” (61). This is an important element of creating a well-ordered society. Mills finds issue with how Rawls uses this ideal as something we should follow. The issue is with something that we have to comply with. The ideal comes into play with Rawls in regards the person who does the calculations with the original position. In this paper,…

possible for God. Adam and Eve try to be like God in a way that is impossible,”knowing good and evil,” thereby placing themselves in a state of being contrary to God’s will for the natural order. This is the primordial disobedience understood as original sin. St. Pope John Paul II reaches a similar conclusion and expresses the symbolism of the tree flawlessly: ‘According to the Book of Genesis, "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" was to express and constantly remind man of the "limit"…
