... in church. Some are considered first class, others second class. In nearly every case, the segregation of the church results from add-ons to the simple, pure gospel of Christ. But when believers hold on to Christ alone, Their faith and the church will grow. That is the basic message of this great book Galations. So simple yet so potent. In Galations chapter 5, verses 1-12, Paul deals very specifically with the concept of the Christians freedom in Christ. This is what I will be dealing with in this Bible study of Galations 5, verses 1-12. With the Christians freedom and liberty in Christ. There is plenty of immediate content that deals with this passage. The fact that more peopl ...
... but these efforts seem to obscure and ruin the basis of the tones. Byzantine Chant had an influence on, and is directly related, to other Orthodox chants. It is one of the basis' for all other Orthodox chant forms. The chants used by the churches in Serbia and Bulgaria are changed forms of the original Byzantine chant. In Russia, a musical system called Znamenny chant arose after Orthodox monks from Constantinople began teaching the people the melodies which were in use in the Byzantine Empire. In the 14th and 15th centuries, the areas surrounding present-day Hungary and Slovakia developed musical forms with a basis on Byzantine chant after being taken over by the Polish. was dev ...
... hard to find because of the hardships inflicted upon the people. I find some conflict in Jesus' actions, however. Jesus never (as far as I know) says to ignore to commandments of God in the Hebrew Scriptures; however, constantly breaks the Sabbath (Matt 12:13 and others), and gives VERY flimsy and unconvincing explanations for it. I am not sure what his message was in those actions. Perhaps he didn't care? In general, Matthew was a good, entertaining story to read, with a very dramatic ending, and great character development (a little sarcastic humor here)! I was very surprised to find much of the Book of Mark a repeat of what was written in Matthew, but with a little less ...
... I do not abuse it and would never put myself behind the wheel of a car to take the risk of taking someone else's life. You don't need to be drunk to cause an accident, it's been proven in many cases only a few drinks can impair someone's stability. If more thought of this there would be less tragedies on our highways. When it comes to food and there are people starving in the world, when we could help by not converting food grains into alcohol, this should be made more aware to our society. I'm not sure most people are aware of this. It is supposedly our main concern to feed the hungry and shelter the poor. If giving up something that only contributes to loneliness and destruction ...
... in "Conversion of the Jews". In reality Jackie wasn't bad at all, he was just a boy who wanted answers to his questions. And that was proved when Ozzie asked a question in class and Rabbi Binder went crazy and hit Ozzie because he thought Ozzie was trying to be a wise guy. So Ozzie tried to prove a point to Rabbi Binder and his fellow classmates by running to the roof and making believe he was going to jump. With Ozzie being on the roof it gave Rabbi Binder a bigger belief that Ozzie was crazy and troubled. Ozzie wasn't really crazy, he was just trying to make a point that he really wasn't dumb. Ozzie just wanted to believe that there was really a Christ. So with the point that ...
... good name smeared. Yet, times change. In modern times the Catholic Church has changed dramatically, and the view on religions has as well. Hopefully, there is no more adultery amongst bishops and torturing has stopped. For as long as the living of today remember, the pope has indeed been a symbol of spiritual uplifting. We have also learned to accept other people's beliefs, or at least tolerate them. I feel strongly about this topic, and a lot of my feelings are mixed. We have learned to accept other beliefs, but that does not give us the right to degrade others. One can get his/her point across without having to defile another person's point. For these reasons I believe that the cou ...
... Mark seems to "tack-on" sentences to Jesus' teachings to make them more "Christian." This really changes the meaning more than any other tactic! Who knows what Mark may have edited-out to accomplish what he wanted to impress upon his readers? In this, he tries to interpret the meaning of Jesus' actions ... and does this in a misleading way. For example: Mark 2:19, Jesus regarding Fasting. Jesus makes a strong statement against importance to fasting, but Mark (in 2:20) tags on: "But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and they will fast in those days." This blatantly shows that Mark held higher regard for the Old Traditions of Fasting ...
... 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. An estimated 8,000 Jews were massacred in France and Germany for such purposes (Glatzer). ...
... It is the point in which one is no longer susceptable to suffering. Only when the candle of suffering has been blow out can one truly reach enlightenment. In order to help lead us toward enlightenment, Buddha created a set of guidlines which he called the Four Noble Truths. THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS: 1. The Truth of misery. 2. The Truth that misery originates within us from craving for pleasure. 3. The Truth that misery can be eliminated. 4. The Truth that elimination is the result of following the middle way(Eightfold Path). 1. right mode of seeing things. 2. right thinking. 3. right speech. 4. right action. 5. right mode of living. 6. ...
... words create an insecure and unsure feeling in the reader's mind. The reader feels as if he stands right there on the outskirts of the forest along with Brown. That type of feeling scares even the bravest of men. Hawthorne also describes the events taking place in the forest as “devilish,” “horrid,” and “evil.” Evil completely surrounds Brown in the forest. It puts a thought in him which drives him crazy. These words give a very insecure feeling to the reader. No one likes the feeling of evil, which Hawthorne portrays all throughout the story. The evil feeling adds to the dreary mood, and it also gives a hopeless feeling to the reader. Nothing good comes out of evil, and these word ...
