Verses 19-21 ended Paul's speech about this issue. This section of the passage is where the apologetic and preaching side comes out. When thinking about a sermon in church, there usually is a part of the sermon that the pastor wants the congregation to remember the most and take away. I think this section is the part that Paul wanted all the people to especially take away. Verse nineteen Paul says, "For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God", which means that he gave up…

The “Sermon on the Mount” is recorded in Matthew 5-7. It is a collection of a number of Jesus’ teachings. In class, we talked about how Jesus was giving the disciples a new law.

The Sermon is so rich in things we need to do, think, and say, but I’m going to focus on the attributes that Christians need to display in order to have blessedness, how to pray and what to pray for, and a…

give passages in Exodus 20 (3-17) and the parallel verses of the Quran to show that Islam also testifies the Ten Commandments (which are upheld by other religions also as Universal Code of conduct.) N.B. King James’ version is couched in old English. So I have chosen to quote from Holy Bible, New Living Translation, Published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., Wheaton , Illinois , 1996 Verses of the Exodus Ch. 20 Parallel Verses of the Quran 3: “Do not worship any other…

The definition of a beatitude according to Merriam Webster is to “be in a state of utmost bliss.” Many would compare it being extremely happy with a feeling of great joy, recognizing what it feels like to be blessed. The message or the Sermon On The Mount is a message for Jesus’ disciples to spread to the world and provide the foundations for love, how to get along with each other, and at the same time, act in accordance of being a Christian – Being In God’s Image. The Eight Beatitudes does not…

While verses forty-seven and forty-eight focus on the permanence of the hue of Satpa(n)th and assimilation of the metaphoric complexion of Satpa(n)th as a lasting aspect of one’s identity, verses forty-nine and fifty focus on attire as another important facet of one’s personality. Verse forty-nine denounces the figurative garb of the secular, whereas this verse counsels the faithful to don the symbolic attire of the Truth, foster passionate love for the Truth and remain immersed in dhikr.…

It is first degradation, exaltation, and then loss, soon after compensation,…
