The brazenness to fight for God’s people and having the opportunity to kill Saul but refusing to do so because he trusted God would take care of Saul. 8. Contrast David and Saul during the years after David was anointed. Saul was a coward, David was not. David prayed for God’s guidance and trusted in him 100%, Saul did not.

As a result of living in areas surrounded by pagan people, Israel’s first generation to be born in the promise land suffered temptations of the combining their own religious practices with idolaters. It corrupted their worship, and they forgot that God is more concerned with their obedience and reflection of Him then He is with offerings. As a result of Israel’s disobedience, the Lord always handed down a judgment in one form or another. However,
Verse 1: The people gather around Aaron making their discomfort at the fact that Moses has not been seen for a considerable amount of time, and ask him to make them gods in the manner that they were accustomed to in Egypt. Aaron would appear to be a leader of the people as they seem to look to him for permission. The language used by the people in reference to Moses seems to be very dismissive of what has been done for them thus far, as such it is fair to question whether they respected Moses as a leader or appreciated what he had done for them. Moses had been gone for a considerable period of time and it is possible that the people had become uneasy that the person that had mediated for them with God was gone for so long and they feared he was dead. Verse 2-5: Aaron agrees to the peoples request and requests from them their golden jewellery in order to make the idol, and moulds it into the golden calf before declaring to the people that this is the God that had brought them out of Egypt.
Ulysses did not land into Purgatory in the Inferno because of his background, as well as his resemblance to Adam from the Garden of Eden. Ulysses’ journey to the Purgatory ended in failure partly because he was a pagan. According to Musa, “As a pagan, Ulysses, of course, could not have reached the mount of Purgatory” (201). Ulysses was an ancient Greek hero, and he therefore did not have knowledge of Christianity and instead worshipped ancient Greek gods. Ulysses could not make it into Purgatory because “From a theological point of view, Ulysses must be forbidden from reaching this mountain because it is destined to be a place of purgation for the saved souls after the coming of Christ.” In addition, “Unlike Ulysses and Guido, who were also men of great genius and excellence, Dante uses his virtue in the right way: in the service of God” (Musa 354, 201).
Poseidon turns the Phaeacian ship into stone to punish the Phaeacians for their obligations of assisting travelers and wayfarers. This raises an exception to xenos, the Greek moral code of hospitality. Zeus, throughout the Odyssey enforces this moral code and punishes those who do not follow its provisions. In book 13 he goes against this, as he approves of Poseidon’s punishment of the Phaeacians, who anger Poseidon by practicing good xenos and helping all travelers, including Odysseus, return home. Zeus says- “Earth shaker, you with your massive power, why moaning so?
<br> The Gihon spring served as the primary source of water for Biblical Jerusalem. From the fountainhead of the spring, a number of waterworks were built throughout the Judean period, to transport the Gihon waters and to safeguard access to the city's water source. These included the Shiloah Tunnel, which ran outside the city, and the Hezekiah Tunnel, which took a very twisted pathway, inside the mountain itself. It was apparently built along a crack
In both myths, they had a similarity of disobedience. In Genesis, Adam and Eve failed to obey. Adam was told that he was allowed to eat food from any tree except the tree of knowledge of good and evil. But God didn’t want him to be left alone in that garden. So instead he put creatures with him but that didn’t help.
The Pharisees and Sadducees accused him of not following the Jewish law because they felt that what he shared with the people was going against the traditional Jewish scripture and they felt that he deserved to be punished. I found this very unfair, just because Jesus had his own way of going about things and it wasn’t “their” way they felt that he was wrong. Now a days we all have our own views and opinions and we definitely would not have been hung on a cross nor would we have been treated as he was. I felt that his punishment was very serious, whether he was the messiah or not, no one deserves to be put to death for something of that matter. When I read that the crucifixion was a punishment that was usually given to people who committed crimes of thievery and other serious cases I became a little more upset.
Every ethos has its’ own theories and principles. Each one has a belief that their schema of beliefs is greater to others’. In biblical times, The Jewish culture looked down upon the Gentiles because they were not the chosen people of God. They felt that the Gentiles were lower than and unworthy. They were not even allowed go worship in the synagogue.
