Trinity

Wednesday, pgs 105-110: The question was answered to who crucified Jesus and why, but there is one more question that is more spiritual… What was the meaning to all of it? God, of course, could have stopped Jesus from being killed, and so Jesus could have if he proclaimed himself as the Son of God. There is a deeper meaning to Jesus’ Passion and death- he did it for humanity! He died on the suffered and died on the cross so that humanity could be saved from the horrors of death. Jesus was very…

Throughout The Iliad, Homer shapes his characters through the detailed depictions of their actions and the defining descriptions of their nature. “Godlike” is an adjective Homer often uses to set certain characters apart, giving the descriptive term and the described character a quality of higher significance. However, Homer depicts the gods as very similar to humans— or rather, they are outstanding personifications of key human characteristics. Therefore, in Homer’s eyes, to be godlike is to be…

WOOSTER — Family members, longtime friends, fellow pastors and law enforcement officials gathered in the basement of the Wayne County Justice Center recently to wish a tireless worker farewell as he headed into retirement. “His heart was always in the right place,” Capt. James Richards said of the Rev. Lee Anderson, the chaplain of the Wayne County Jail for the past 41 years who was retiring. Richards read a passage from the New Testament about how Jesus thanked his followers for feeding him,…

Why does God do harm to good people? "then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it." Ecclesiastes 8:17 The biblical passage above teaches that we should not question what God does in our lives. No matter what you try to do to find out the meaning behind God it is always above us. God has a much bigger plan for us…

World views can be a curious matter and will be immensely apparent within one’s life, or markedly obscure, and either scenario creates an opening into another’s mind and spirit. Therefore, a world view can provide an effervescent outlook towards life, or it can set the tone of an ambivalent or negative judgment towards the world in which one inhabits. Throughout my coursework thus far, I have carefully designed not only a universal world view, but also a personal world view that is…

One’s faith is dictated by believing in God but in some cases like the Christians have, believing that Christ revealed God through the Catholic Church and the body of Christ is united in the Holy Spirit. The word “believing” in the statement above means that our God wants us to partake in His divine life. Faith is one of the most evident replies we can give to God as a sign that we are his disciples and accept Him as our one and only Lord and Saviour. It is when we knock in his door that he says…

Elizabeth, I do concede that Dripps model of the contingent exclusionary rule is fascinating; yet, it is my opinion that there are pros and cons. It is without doubt that the present exclusionary rule is controversial. I also concede that there isn’t a need to completely re-invent the wheel. Conversely, Dripps argues in regards of the contingent suppression order in which prosecutors would have to choose between accepting exclusion of evidence obtained through infractions of the Fourth…

In “Film as Art and Psychology: Cool Hand Luke as Exemplar," Frank Barron employs a metaphorical comparison between religion and movies to claim that Cool Hand Luke is “about the Passion and Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ” (102). He substantiates his claim with in-depth mise-en- scène analysis, which does make Barron’s argument convincing, but to a certain extent. Barron highlights how Lucas Jackson’s figure movement and expressions symbolize that of Jesus Christ. For example, when he…

The Word Sergio Salgado Biblical Survey of the New Testament Professor: Edgar November 10, 2015 When we read the Bible most people interpret or see things a little bit differently than others. If you were reading the Bible piece by piece, or each book individually, you may not get the full understanding or background of what was happening in that time. An example of what can be misinterpreted is in the Gospel of John when he is referring to the “Word”. When some…
