Resurrection Of Jesus
Number of Words: 1393 / Number of Pages: 6
... his good teachings and preaching. That is why today many approach the term resurrection in conjunction with Jesus.
In the book, The reality of Jesus we come across a section known as the "The Pauline Evidence". This particular section interested me because Paul makes a contrast between two types of bodies. One type is the physical body (soma psuchikon) of which we are in now. Soma is the man's body and personality which is a quality of the inner being. The second type is the spiritual body (soma pneumatikon) which is life after death. In this body, the flesh is said to be transformed through ...

The History Of Anti-Semitism Starting From The Bible To The Holocaust
Number of Words: 1112 / Number of Pages: 5
... world lived under
a feudalistic government. In such a system priests, bishops, and most of
all, dukes, had power over the people (Rosenthal). In this time, many
Christian authorities blamed Jews for killing Jesus and took the
opportunity to use that allegation to gather money for their crusades. The
Duke of Lorraine wanted to go on such a crusade, and to collect money he
spread the rumor that he would kill the Jews to avenge the death of Christ.
The Jews of the Rhineland paid him 500 pieces of silver as ransom, but some
refused, and crusaders slaughtered Jews of Rouen and other cities in
Lorraine. ...

Forgiveness

... of the development of the Sacrament of Penance. The Sacrament of
Penance has it's roots even as far back as the day of resurrection when Christ
breathed out the spirit on the disciples and said to them, 'Receive the Holy
Spirit. If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven; if you retain anyone's
sins, they are retained.' (John 20:22-23). In Paul's second letter to the
Corinthians we see Paul developing this teaching of Christ, when he says 'All
this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the
ministry of reconciliation; that is, God was in Christ reconciling t ...

Wicca
Number of Words: 332 / Number of Pages: 2
... the movie the Craft is over exaggerated. n's do not use their powers, or do magic to harm other people. They use the magic they have to either heal themselves or heal others. There are many movies out there that make the public think that ns are devil worshipers. There is another movie titled Little Witches that totally blows out of proportion. In the movie, spells are done to try to bring forth the mater, yet true ns can already see their "master" all around. Nature is their God and they look for no other.
In conclusion, Wicca is not what is put out to be by the media. If you one wanted to know ...

Christ: VICTORY!!
Number of Words: 617 / Number of Pages: 3
... Romans 5 it says that Jesus
died for All Sinners! We are all sinners so his death was for all.
When Jesus says that "It is finished", he can also be reffering to the older
predictions of Christs' life. There is one in particular that it might have been
talking about in Isaiah. That is the one in which Isaiah talks of the life of
Jesus and the crusifiction, in very short and brief detail.
The suffering in which Jesus took for us lasted all through the night, and then
in the morning the thrusted a sword into His side to see if he was alive. After
the water poored out of His side, you can say that it ...

Existentialism

... in 1940 but managed to escape, and
become one of the leaders of the Existential movement. Other popular
playwrights were Albert Camus, and Jean Anouilh. Just like Anouilh, Camus
accidentally became the spokesman for the French Underground when he wrote
his famous essay, "Le Mythe de Sisyphe" or "The Myth of Sisyphus". Sisyphus
was the man condemned by the gods to roll a rock to the top of a mountain,
only to have it roll back down again. For Camus, this related heavily to
everyday life, and he saw Sisyphus an "absurd" hero, with a pointless
existence. Camus felt that it was necessary to wond ...

... in this way. Analogical imagination is to look at the words and consider them to be metaphors for what is really meant. The Catholics view the bible in this way. We use metaphors in this way to confront the world, and the scripture is written this way.
Older myths of creation that are more primitive and ultimately closer to human nature show a more pronounced interest in humans and their immediate environment. The Bible has been shown to adopt aspects of mythical imagery. It distinguishes itself from the myths through its theological statement as taken from Bernhard Anderson, "the one God is Cr ...

Christian Love And Community
Number of Words: 2475 / Number of Pages: 9
... that those who do not honor the life of others make null and void their own right to membership. Those who violate the personhood of others, especially if this is done persistently as a habit must pay the ultimate penalty. This punishment must be inflicted for the sake of maintaining the community whose foundation has been violated. We can debate whether some non-lethal alternative is a fitting substitute for the death penalty. But the standard of judgment is whether the punishment fits the crime and sufficiently honors the nature of moral community.
