By observing and keeping the word of God. 27. How could Jesus speak with confidence of his weak disciples “in the perfect tense?” 17:10. Bruce, p. 331. He did this because it is God who had chosen them and they are his and Jesus had been glorified among them.
He was trying to scare her to get the truth out of her. Proctor is a strong Christian and really proves it in the quotes. Another one of the qualities of Proctor being a tragic hero is his quest for truth. He wants the truth about everybody. The quote “But I know the child’s sickness had naught to do with witchcraft" (Miller 169) shows that he is sure the child is not sick due to witchcraft, but to natural causes.
It is founded in God, Who did not only create the Ten Commandments, but He is the standard and the law. God allowed sin to come into the world. He did not create it, yet He created the possibility of it. God cannot sin nor even be tempted by sin. He is so holy, just, and full of grace that He had to send His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for these sins and humans’ depraved condition.
Some Christians believe that without Judas, the betrayer, the crucifixion, thus the salvation, never would have occurred. Yet had Original Sin never occurred, a fault in human nature, there would be a perfect world in the Garden of Eden. Mankind has damned themselves and only by the holy and willing sacrifice that Jesus made are we able to hope to attain Heaven. Dawe says in lines 6-7, over the big men who must have had it in for him / and the curious ones who’ll watch anything if it’s free, by using the blue collar term ‘big men’ Dawe is trying to make it relatable to modern society. The ‘big men’ in the poem relate to the Jewish rabbi’s and men in power that wanted Jesus dead, but it
Christianity teaches that people should not work on the day of Sabbath as God himself didn’t and that it should be the day of rest. However, Jesus didn’t follow these rules and decided to do the most loving thing and heal a sick person on this day even though he wasn’t supposed to. Some could argue that situation ethics and its ideas about love fit into Christian theology perfectly because even Jesus broke rules to do the most loving thing possible. Johns part of the gospels state that “God is love” and from this we can interpret that Christians must live their lives by trying to be Omnibenevolent and doing the most loving thing in all situations no matter how extreme. Fletcher incorporated the quote from the gospels into his ethical theory and devised six propositions and four principles.
Orgon had loved Tartuffe like a son, and he had bought in to Tartuffe’s display of religiousness. Likewise, Christians hang on the church’s every word and are ignorant of the church’s sins. Orgon refused to believe that Tartuffe had betrayed him even when his own son testified against Tartuffe. Only when Orgon saw Tartuffe’s sinfulness with his own eyes did he realize his hypocrisy. This is equivalent to Christians standing up for the church without knowing what the church stands for.
He lived His life sin free then died on the cross for our sins. We will have a better resurrection then any other religion will have. Another theme is Jesus is our great High Priest, he is superior to all other earthly priests, he is sinless and the Son of God and his teachings and way to follow is what others should strive to do to see the word of God and the light. One other theme is we learn that God now speaks through His son, Jesus and the words and teachings he presents and shows is the word of God, his faith and blessings. We look upon Jesus as the author and finisher of our faith and we
Oscar Cruz Jr. Cruz 1 BG Guttierez ENGL 2327 23 February, 2012 Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God In the story Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God in holds a sermon on how your life should be led to with several techniques he tries to grab your attention with his grace and how you would go to heaven. Not everybody believes in god but in my point of view I believe that with the will of the lord everything is possible. Jonathan Edwards throughout the readings tried to scare the readers on how god can do things to people or grasp their life in any part of their time. It shouldn’t be understood in that way because in the bible I reads that god will come for you at the time he is ready. There is no need to be scared to go to heaven because heaven is a better and more peaceful place.
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.
In Romans, it speaks of the sin involved between people, by jealousy, hatrid, violence, and lust. A person living in sin often sought after what they believe is best for them, not mindful of what it may do to others. “Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people.” (Romans 5:18) This is stating that although Adam and Eve sinned in the beginning, by eating the forbidden fruit, and opening up the punishment for our sins, God also sent his son Jesus to earth for us to be saved from them sins. The most important relationship that we can have is our relationship with Christ. “So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.” (Romans 7:4) By not giving into our sins and seeking God’s word, we can strengthen all of our relationships and learn from others as that was the purpose in populating the
