The first nine verses of Genesis Ch. 11 stress on the division between men born of God and men born of men. This difference becomes obvious in the process of multiplication. Ch. 11 focuses in vs. 1-9 on men’s descendants spreading in Babel, where they undertake the so far unheard of task to construct an extraordinarily high tower (vs. 1-4). However, God disapproves of their plan and hinders the execution by creating a language barrier and thereof a great confusion among them to make them disperse (vs. 5-9) (Wesley). The sons of God are presented apart from this Continue reading...

Randle Patrick McMurphy is one of the chief characters in the book “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. McMurphy’s role appears to be that of a liberator of sorts. He comes in and brings a breath of fresh air and a new way of doing things. That McMurphy has been cast as an almost Messianic character is no coincidence. This is because the whole book itself is peppered with inferences to the Messianic story of redemption. This paper attempts to draw parallels between some scenes in this story and the Biblical story of Jesus Christ.
The first Continue reading...

Introduction

Psalm 5 is in the middle of a group of psalms, Psalms 4-7 that seem to tell a kind of story (Pyle, E., 2004). It is the story of King David, and his struggle against Absalom, a struggle he later greatly mourned. As such, it follows the strict structure of a psalm of lament, designed to show lay both desperation and sorrow at the feet of God, and to beg for some kind of absolution of relief. When one considers that historical significance, literary features, technical elements and general tone of the work, its application today becomes clearer.

In her essay “Executions Are Too Costly-Morally”, Sister Helen Prejean argues that the death penalty is un-American. Most of the rest of world has abolished capital punishment because it is cruel and unusual punishment (Baumgartner and De Boef 14). European pharmaceutical manufacturers are refusing to ship lethal injection drugs to the U.S. on moral grounds. As a result, American prisons have been forced to improvise, and in the summer of 2014 an Arizona death row prisoner took over two hours to die by lethal injection in the grotesque botched execution (“Europe’s Moral Stand”). There are many other arguments Continue reading...

The Bible verses require one to place them in the context and time of their writing so as to understand them.

King: The African American citizen has waited a long time for equal rights and position in the society. With the March of Washington, we intend to non-violently but firmly demand what is rightfully ours. I wrote the “I have a dream” speech solely for this intent.
Miller: According to me your speech was extremely well-researched and drew a lot from the Bible. This was a great idea because almost all of the 2.50,00 people who heard the legendary speech, were avid Bible readers and followers.

Sometime in the early history of Western civilization, there was likely a great flood throughout the Mesopotamian region. The reason for this is that there are a number of “flood myths” that document a large flood throughout the entire known world. There are several accounts of this, and the most popular ones are found in the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Bible. Both of these documents reflect some aspects of culture and life from their time, but also exhibit certain similarities showing that these accounts may have been based off of each other.
The Epic of Gilgamesh, one of Continue reading...

Leadership is always something of great importance in the Christian church. Without strong leaders at the center, the church can easily stray from the teaching of God’s word, and blend in with the world.

The issue of same-sex marriage in the United States has highlighted the battle between the secular and Christian ideologies. For most of the nation’s history, same-sex marriage has not been recognized by the state. Starting in 2004, states began to legalize it mainly due to federal and state judges ruling that banning this practice was unconstitutional. Today there are currently 36 states that have legalized same-sex marriage, and the Supreme Court is expected to rule on this issue soon. This could provide the foundation for its legalization throughout the entire nation. The process to achieve this has been Continue reading...

I do not think that the Indian removal process was truly voluntary. Although the Indian Removal Act of 1830 stated that the Indians had the choice of exchanging their ancestral land or remaining, in practice they did not. According to Wallace 3, there were many instances when the Indians were coerced to vacate the land east of Mississippi. The government forced them to leave their native land through expulsion and threats of invasion. President Jackson abused his presidential powers in his administration of the Act because he disregarded the law (Alfred 1340). The Act required that the negotiations for Continue reading...

Romans 15:1-13 Analysis

Themes/Key Verses
Romans 14 starts with a discussion about how those strong in the faith should not look down on those who are weak, or still developing in the faith. Paul uses the metaphor of eating certain foods over eating everything, and not judging those who can only eat one food (New International Version, Rom. 14:1-4). This means that liberty is a major issue within the church, and both chapters 14 and 15 address how Christians are to live in their newfound freedom in Christ. Because of this, most of chapter 14 is negative. There are a lot of Continue reading...
