In general, there are similar ethical beliefs amongst Christians due to Judaism being the only root of Christian ethics. In general Christian ethics is deontological and authoritarian and what is deemed right or wrong is based on belief in God. The ethics of Christianity is based on the holy bible, which is a library of books that expresses Christian faith. As the bible was written over a long period of time and includes many different teachings and morals, there is no overall biblical morality that can be chosen therefore different denominations choose different parts of the bible to support their beliefs. For instance in Genesis it says that ‘God breathed the breath of man into Adam’s nostrils’ and from this Roman Catholics can argue that as God has given life, only he can take it away so things such as abortion, euthanasia and murder are absolute wrongs.
MacLeish has written an amazing play based on extremely old story from bible and transferred it in, quite a modern setting. Though the idea of events are the same, digging deeper into both main characters of stories we can see how they are related but also see few major differences. Starting with most obvious comparison of Job and J.B. is who they are. J.B. is a millionaire who lived in New England after WWII, while Job was a wealthy man in Uz, millennium before Christ. Both Job and J.B. had wives named Sarah and lots of children.
CHRISTIANITY VS. JUDAISM Christianity and Judaism are religions that are each very unique. Although they both have plenty of differences, they also have similarities. In fact they probably have more in common than some of the other major religions in the world, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. Although both Christians and Jews believe God to be their creator and controller; Judaism has no founder, as opposed to Christianity whose founder was Jesus Christ. In Christianity it is believed that Jesus Christ was the savior to all humanity and was sent to Earth by his father (God) to pay for the sins of all mankind.
They refer to the scripture Psalm 83:18, according to the King James Version of the Bible: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." In the New World Translation, the scripture at Isaiah 42:8, "I am Jehovah. That is my name." (Jehovah's Witnesses—Who Are They? What Do They Believe?, 2012) The name Jehovah appears almost 7,000 times in the original Hebrew Scriptures although most Bibles do not show it as such but substitute "God" or "Lord" for

Wilson Ayala Mr. Roccanova Comedy & Satire 14 October 2011 Religion the Problem and Solution for Everything “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen. Not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” This quote by the famous author C. S. Lewis describes exactly how I feel about my religion. My religion helps me see the world clearly and gives everything life meaning. Religion can be split into one of two basic groups, polytheistic religions in which someone worships multiple gods and monotheistic religions in which the follower worships only one single God. Wouldn’t it be nice and easy if that were it, and that’s what religion is all about?
“This book stands tall, high above all enemies, and we call it ‘The Bible’.” This quote, describes in a few words, Pastor Steve Braynon’s thoughts of the Great Book. Not everyone shares the same beliefs as Mr. Braynon. The Bible is a very controversial book. People often wonder if it’s based on facts or if it’s made up. Real or not, the Word of God still has a past.
Some concept books could certainly be a child’s first picture books; but if used at a developmentally suitable moment in the child’s life. Pictures help to explain the concept being taught. They are often used to introduce new concepts to young children. (Carlson, 1998) The fact that children learn concepts is self-evident. They are not born with the knowledge that poodles and Great Danes are both dogs, or that watermelons and blueberries are both fruits.
The author created this movie’s background in 1940s to 1980s which had remarkable and considerable social issues in United States. Robert, who made this movie from Groom’s novel, want to show the audiences about a man who has IQ 75 lower than his audiences but has such a pure mind and beautiful heart. Today’s ordinary society in the world pushes people to be successful in their goal. In the Bible, the Load said to us when we commit our ways to the Lord, we will be successful. “Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established” (Proverbs 16:3, ESV).
The Bible: Fact or Fiction? “It is a mistake to look to the Bible to close a discussion; the Bible seeks to open one” William Sloane Coffin (1924 –2006) Contents Page 1 Title Page Page 2 Contents page Page 3 Introduction to report Page 4-7 Noah and the Epic of Gilgamesh Page 8-9 Joshua and the Frozen Sun Page 9-11 Nephilim: The Warriors of Old Page 12-13 Prophecies: God given visions of the future Page 13-15 Evaluation of Survey Page 15-16 Conclusion The Bible: Fact or Fiction? “It's no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.” Throughout history the authenticity of the Bible has been under constant scrutiny, whether from different sects arguing over whose ideals are correct or between the atheists and Christians arguing over whether God is real or not. In this project I intend to try and shine some light on the subject by looking on both sides of the argument and showing the contrast between the ideas of the Bible and what it says.
