Until We Have Faces The theme of this evening was inspired by the novel “Until We Have Faces” written by CS Lewis. It is the retelling of the Greek myth, Psyche and Cupid. The timeless tale of two mortal princesses one beautiful and one ugly; Lewis reworks the classic myth into an enduring piece of contemporary fiction. The story itself is powerful, as he portrays in a single tale a lifetime of revelation. In the same way that Jesus used the parable to symbolize principles of the Kingdom, Lewis has crafted a story which resonates the Gospel, Christ, and the redemption of all mankind.

LIBERTY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY THE WATCHTOWER: AMODERN FORM OF ARIANISM SUBMITTED TO DR. SMITH IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COMPLETION OF THIS COURSE, NORTH CAROLINA 10/15/2012 The Watchtower: A Modern Form of Arianism Introduction In the third century, the Christian church saw one of its most constantly troubling schisms created. This break in orthodoxy can trace its origins to a third century North African presbyter named Arius. This Christian sect was appropriately called Arianism, taken from the name of its founder and initial supporter. It should not be surprising that within two century, heresy was already impacting the church. In the Pauline epistles, Paul frequently corrected the early churches in both matters of doctrine and application.
In Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, believe that there will be the rising of the antichrist. no religion predicted a specific time for his appearance, those religions all believed in signs that would happen in the distant future to awaken the people with the antichrist rising. The Jews believe that is still to come. And when he appears he will role the world and would create kingdom of heaven on earth. Then the Jews would be the rulers and the elite.

Today that pride must be tempered by a profound concern. If atomic bombs are to be added as new weapons to the arsenals of a warring world, or to the arsenals of the nations preparing for war, then the time will come when mankind will curse the names of Los Alamos and Hiroshima. The people of this world must unite or they will perish. This war that has ravaged so much of the Earth, has written these words. The atomic bomb has spelled them out for all men to understand.
apocalupsis = disclosure, discovery, revelation) is a genre akin to the prophetic, not to be confused though with this genre. Apocalyptic genre developed in the intertestamental period and represents a literature of spiritual and political crisis written in times of trial, which is expressed in a straightforward and symbolically encoded language, the hope that God will judge the world and will do justice to faithful people. The apocryphal apocalyptic literature (today unrecognized as religious writing between the canonical), illustrated with lots of writings both Jewish and Christian, presents certain characteristics. They all cultivate aliases, fiction, approximation and exaggeration and show a particular preference for expressing ideas using symbols, signs and visions. But while all uncanonical apocalyptic writings manifest a state of mind of crippling despair regarding the present torments and a total distrust in the success of human efforts to scarce the evil on earth, The Revelation of Saint John the Evangelist is the most robust expression of religious optimism.
The possibility of a “near and far” prophecy also emerges. Burge stated, “It may be a divine visitation within history as well as a final visitation that climaxes history.”[2] The day of Yahweh also appears in 13:6 and 9 as judgment on Babylon. Isaiah refers to it specifically as “destruction from the Almighty” accompanied by cosmic events and natural disasters. However, judgment will also come at the hands of the Medes through warfare (13:17). -----------------------
Step 4: Write a topic sentence for each body paragraph. Remember that a topic sentence is structured as SUBJECT + OPINION ABOUT THE SUBJECT (This is the point you are going to prove). My examples: In “A Sound of Thunder” Bradbury uses a time machine to show how technology can deliver unintended consequences. *In “A Sound of Thunder”, Ray Bradbury uses a time machine to show the harm of technology. “There Will Come Soft Rains” illustrates Bradbury’s theme by showing the devastation of a nuclear bomb.
