In my opinion, Hamlet is a young man that deeply loves his father and is severely affected by his death. Even though Hamlet has learned the truth of his father’s death by his uncle, he is indecisive. He hesitates and cannot bring himself to kill Claudius. At the right moment in which Hamlet could have murdered Claudius he becomes doubtful. It is because Claudius is speaking his prayers to God and Hamlet is unsure if he should strike in fear that he will be sent to hell.
A person may perceive a certain image of what God is, like a trinket or something they have seen that reminds them of God. Then they start to pray to that every time instead of praying to God. This is a point he is trying to make by saying that it is still a major sin but that sometimes we don’t notice the smaller things as being bad. This book teaches a lot about the nature of God. Screwtape has a hard time believing that God actually cares for His people, unlike, “Their Father Below”.
If you believe in god and you participate in sinning you will be punished when you go to heaven but you wouldn’t be considered one going to hell. In 2 edwards states, “Yea, on the contrary, justice calls aloud for an infinite punishment of their sins. (Edwards 2) What Edwards is really trying to say in this quote is that on justice day god will know what you have done in life and in what situations you have sinned in. But if you do sin it doesn’t mean you’re a person from hell. God will always be open to hear your prayers and the problems that you need help
RESEARCH PAPER EVERYMAN Christol Council Liberty University August 19, 2012 Thesis The play “Everyman” uses characters that are spiritual to tell the story of Everyman. Everyman has to give an account of his life no one can stand with us before God we have to stand alone. Everyman realizes that death is inevitable and man has to an account for his sins. Everyman often does not think of their spiritual life, but in the end finds way to repent of their sins. The summons of Death makes Everyman realize he is not ready to die and does not want to take the journey alone, but ultimately has to stand alone.
He regrets that he could not overcome the obstacles in his personal narratives. His description of the riots and waste of stores being looted is typical of the outcome he expects. However he is hopeful in some of his poetic prose because he uses a preacher’s penchant for rhythm and resonance in biblical passages. “But as for me and my House”,(pg.59) is an example of Baldwin blending in this entire paragraph of his message not to fall into the trap that is of hate and the immutable
Poetry Study ‘Dawe Is A Moralist In Poetry. Challenging His Readers To Re-Assess Their Lives And Life Itself.’ Discuss. Dawe challenges his readers to reassess their personal values in their lives and of life itself. Homecoming is a commentary, its views on the waste of young lives in war and the disregard for the human remains once they have served their purpose. Katrina discusses the lack of control that we have in life and that death is simply another part of life that we must accept.
For Edwards this included his view on religion. He believed that “There is nothing between you and Hell but the air; it is only the power and the mere pleasure of God that holds you up.” (41) He wanted to convince to repent, to be reborn in Christ. Last but not least, he wanted to save sinners from a decent into Hell’s fury. The moral of his sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” was therefore that if sin is committed, a persons tie with God is broken and they will fall into the hands of Hell. Edward’s diction and tone gives his listeners and readers an eerie feeling, a fear for sin, and an awakening for the wrath of God about to come.
This thought leads to decisions later made in the text. The Green Knight essentially tricks Gawain by not giving Gawain the knowledge of his supernatural abilities before challenging him to agree to his terms, Gawain refuses to back out of the deal. He believes that a true man of knighthood keeps his word and this relates a lot to his faith of making his worldly experience worth living. He stands by his commitments, even when it means jeopardizing his own life. The poem repeats the mention of Gawain’s deep fears and anxieties, but Gawain’s desire to maintain his personal integrity at all costs enables him to conquer his fears in his quest for the Green Knight.
The Sermon on the Mount is one hundred percent anti retaliation. If someone even does anything evil to you, you’re supposed to turn the other cheek, forgive, and pray for the ones who did you wrong. As a people we have a hard time following this simple rule because we don’t want to let people walk all over us, but apparently that’s the ideal way to live one’s life. The main reasons for this rule of living a moral life is that everyone, righteous or evil, are children of the all mighty God above. “That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” (Matthews 676).
It’s usually something along the lines of “Why God, why would you do this to me?” If someone is a humble, obedient server to God, then they believe bad things shouldn't happen. If God rewards us for doing well, then why would he allow such pain that causes deep wounds? This is where the hate comes in. People need someone to blame but themselves, so they turn to God to blame. “It’s not fair.
