God had created humans perfect but now this perfection was spoiled. So, accordingly none are innocent and therefore all deserve punishment at death. However, because of the sacrifice of Jesus all can gain forgiveness and be saved. So hell is a just punishment since all are guilty because of Original Sin. Heaven is open to all who accept their guilt and ask forgiveness.
And the Lord regretted having made the human on earth and was grieved to the heart”(Genesis 6). It is at this point that the Lord said, “I will wipe out the human race I created from the face of the earth, from human to cattle to crawling thing to the fowl of the heavens, for I regret that I have made them” (Genesis 6). This brought on the motivation to build the great boat. The Lord picked Noah because he “was a righteous man, he was blameless in his time” to build the ark. In the story of Gilgamesh, Utanapishtim told Gilgamesh “I will reveal to you, O Gilgamesh, a secret matter” (9), “Wreck
The Natural World The natural world as it was created by God in the beginning was perfect, until mankind sinned, thus turning God’s perfect natural world to a world of sin, bringing death to mankind: “Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned” (Romans 5: 12). Paul exposes the world’s natural attraction and approval to sin, which is to say the sinful state of the world in, Romans 1: 32, giving one a clear view of the state of the natural world. Being that man is under God’s law, man is convicted by sin (Romans 3: 20). Throughout chapters five and six Paul explains sin’s effect on mankind; sin makes one an enemy of God (Romans 5: 10). Sin enslaves mankind (Romans 6: 16).
Because of this, we are separated from God and deserve to spend eternity in hell (Rom 6:23). By ourselves we can do nothing to become reconciled with God. But God loves us so much that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to this world. Christ took the penalty that we deserve for sin, and now when we accept Christ’s death on the cross as payment for our sins, our relationship with God is made right. That is the message that we are called to share persistently and fearlessly with the entire
These things that the king believed, studied and wrote about are incorporated into the script of Macbeth. First of all is the dramatic setting in scene one. There are 3 witches, working in a group just like the king claimed, and there is thunder, lightening and heavy rain. They talk in strange rhyme that sounds like chanting and use strange paradoxes like “Fair is fowl and fowl is fair.” They mention a civil war and say they will meet again when the battle is over; appearing to know what the outcome will be and they know where to meet Macbeth. The witches are shown to be vengeful and ruthless as when one asks a girl for a chestnut, she casts a storm to kill her husband at sea to spite the girl.
Macbeth is the real villain and Lady Macbeth is just a partner in crime, egging him on because of her desire to be Queen. Macbeth was loyal to his King and was an excellent soldier. However his wife, Lady Macbeth could see a better future for Macbeth as King after Macbeth tells her about the witches and their prophesies in a letter. Despite these conflicting ideas, it was Macbeth himself who decided to murder Duncan and the others. It seems that most people believe that Macbeth is the real villain of the play, after firstly killing the King but then Banquo and Macduff’s family but through Macbeth’s own ambition and desire for power, Lady Macbeth was able to manipulate and evoke weaknesses in Macbeth’s character to cause his respectable needs as a loyal solider, to turn into evil motivations.
They placed the ark at the feet of their god Dagon. The next few days, they found their god had fallen before the ark, after righting their idol, it fell again the next evening, with its head and hands broke off before the ark. Then an outbreak of tumors fell on their city of Ashdod. Unable to diagnose the disease, they realized it was related to their possession of the ark of God. So they moved the ark to the city Ekron.
Though he was innocent, he was condemned by Pontius Pilate and sentenced to death on a cross. By His suffering and death, Jesus paid completely for the sins. He set us free from the certain judgment and eternal condemnation of God that was to fall on all of us. Some have given their lives for others, and great men have come and gone, yet Jesus Christ lives on. Herod could not kill Him.
The consequences of the sin of Adam, was that all humans and angels fell and became separate from God and Adam’s sin is seminally present in all humanity, because we all originate from him. Also because of the angelic fall, natural evil was created because of the disharmony created in nature from some Angels going against God .Augustine says that the only solution to come back to God and remove original sin is to follow Christianity. This is where humans have a choice to accept Christ and God or reject it, this is a soul deciding choice. If humans choose to reject Christ then they will go to Hell and are morally evil because they have a lack of good in them to follow Christ. If humans choose to follow Christ they will go to heaven.
Comparison of Flood myths Flood myths have been accounted in many different religious stories from Hebrew bible to Mesopotamian religion. Although they are two different religions, their situations about flood appeared to have similar versions of each other. In Hebrew bible, God “saw that the wickedness of man was great on Earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Men became sinful and started to worship other gods; in their heart, they no longer thought of their only God, but themselves instead. God felt sorry for he made man on the Earth, so he decided to destroy human kind. However, Noah found favor in God’s eyes.
