Anatole doesn’t encourage anything, he, proverbially speaking, ‘takes the horse to the water’, where Nathan Price comes in and attempts to ‘force it to drink’.
Luther later formed Protestantism on these two central beliefs. You are accurate in saying that faith alone, grace alone, and scripture alone was the foundation of Luther’s theology, but as the Reformation proceeded, many Protestants rejected some of his ideas. Marsiligio of Padua felt that those who were running the Church were getting away from the original message of Christ. John Wycliffe was conflicted by a number of things within the Catholic Church. Wycliffe could find no clear documentation in the bible for transubstantiation; he determined that bread never ceased to be bread.
Contrarily, Christ was already a perfect person, one who could not be improved upon, who had a history of healing and rehabilitating others. In the ‘Christ-story’, the “scapegoat” is the only way to eternal happiness, but only when recognized, loved, and honored. On the contrary, it was unthinkable of the people of “Omelas” to behave in the manner that their “scapecoat” behaved. Simply bases on this one area in which I disagree, I feel that the areas in which Jerre Collins was referring to, his correlations were weak and
There is no need to be scared to go to heaven because heaven is a better and more peaceful place.

Throughout the novel, two specific themes are constant and always relevant; betrayal and violence. One notices the theme of betrayal through Amir's experiences with Hassan and Baba, while one recognizes the theme of violence through kite fighting itself and the multiple scenes of rape and child abuse. Betrayal is an ever-present and cyclical theme in the kite runner. The major act of betrayal occurs during the first Kite Fighting event. When Hassan runs for Amir's tournament-winning kite, the notoriously evil Assef and his friends confront him.

Amir and Hassan are both human embodiments of the sacrificial sheep; they both undergo life-threatening circumstances where their blood is shed for the sake of another person. Hassan's faithfulness to Amir led him to take blame for a crime he did not commit. Amir abandons his wife, home, career, and family to go back into Afghanistan and adopt Sohrab, Hassan's son, risking his life in the process.

The Bible also teaches us in Hebrews 9:22; Almost all things are by the Law purged with blood, and without shedding of blood is no remission. People living in the Old testament times were saved by faith. They looked forward to a perfect Savior who would cleanse from sin and establish righteousness.
