Jealousy, anger, and stubbornness stopped Cain from telling God about his hurt feelings.
Jealousy, anger, and stubbornness stopped Cain from telling God about his hurt feelings.
Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt and tells his sons to retrieve it in order to survive, all except the youngest of brothers so he doesn’t act in mischievous ways. They meet their brother Joseph yet do not know his identity while Joseph knows theirs. Joseph sets them up to be condemned as spies in order to see his youngest brother to seek the truth from him and sends Judah to retrieve the youngest. Joseph weeps from the fact that his brothers do not know him.…
1 In those days, when there was no king in Israel, a certain Levite, residing in the remote parts of the hill country of Ephraim, took to himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.…
Cain showed self-respect and cared about many of the people he met in his life. Though his occupation was slave catching, it did not make him a bad person. Cain only did it because he was good at it. When it came time to interact with a slave, he would not be violent or cruel. The first slave Cain encountered on his…
Adam had within himself all that was necessary to live, just enough, but not more that would lead him to temptation. There was no surplus for Adam in Paradise, sufficient constituted just enough to keep him alive and allow him to create more of himself. God’s idea of sufficiency for his creations stems from the ideal that they have free will to make their own choices and should be held accountable for their own actions. God gave man and angels their own independence, but the knowledge to know what He expected of them. Their sufficiency made them innocent, it was they themselves that either made themselves self-sufficient or…
Genesis 6:7-8 reads, “7 So the Lord said, ‘I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.’ 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord” (The Holy Bible). This scripture introduces the well-known story of Noah’s Ark. God sent forty days and forty nights of non-stop rain to wipe out the sin-ridden humans and purify the Earth. One male and one female from every animal species and the family of Noah would be spared in order to repopulate the Earth. There has been much debate over the existence of such an event even though versions have been recorded in many cultures and languages. Some say that the bible’s…
Gigantic ants that mutated from nuclear fallout from the New Mexico desert. Know terrorizing the American populace and instilling fear of death. The movie “Them!” was produced in the same year as Godzilla by director Gordon Douglas. “Them!” is a movie of gigantic ants that mutated from nuclear fallout in the New Mexico desert. The ants are exterminated by agents who burn the queen’s nest. Even though the American populace never had a direct effect from nuclear warfare they still feared its powerful destruction. “Them!” was one of the first films to deal with the Americans fear of the atomic age and how nuclear arms affected peoples peace of mind. Like Godzilla “Them” embodies nuclear fear. The incident of Nagasaki and Hiroshima heightened fear of nuclear bombs to Americans that saw the destruction it created.…

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This is what we know as the golden rule. In today 's society, it seems to have been altered just a tad - "Do unto other 's before they do unto you." Albeit a negative connotation, it can be turned one hundred eighty degrees into a positive thought and gesture. The movie Pay It Forward does just that. This movie tells the story of a social studies teacher who gives an assignment to his junior high school class to think of an idea to change the world for the better, and then put it into action. Movie critic David Bruce remarked, "When one young student, Trevor McKinney, creates a plan for "paying forward" favors, he not only affects the life of his struggling single mother, but he sets in motion an unprecedented wave of human kindness which, unbeknownst to him, has blossomed into a profound national phenomenon." (Bruce, 2000) These actions have three requirements: It has to be something that really helps…
As I mentioned in my opening, government leaders and scientists have been conducting experiments through the centuries trying to determine why people turn out the way they do. We learned in school how Hitler conducted experiments on the Jews throughout the war in an attempt to create the ultimate “super race”. Frederick the Eleventh, King of Germany tried to conduct an experiment on children by taking babies from their mothers and placing them with foster mothers. He directed the foster mothers to suckle the children, bathe and wash them, but not to speak to the children. King Frederick…
The story of creation begins with Genesis 1 and 2, it explains how the world and it’s living inhabitants were created from God’s touch. From Genesis 1 we see how the sky, seas, land, animals, and mankind were created. However Genesis 2 focuses more on the first of mankind, known as Adam and Eve and how they are made to be. In this paper I will compare Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 and what the main idea for creation is in each one, however in my opinion there is no contradiction between the two. Genesis 2 merely fills in the details that are "headlined" in Genesis 1.…

As a professor who is an expert on gangs and delinquent behavior, and tasked with the responsibility of addressing a growing gang problem, I would seek to develop a gang control model based upon the most effective practices. Four options are available to control organized criminal activity: suppression, social programs and education, as well as the option of taking no action at all. These options will be used to develop responses to particular scenarios that are presented in light of the growing gang problem. A rationale for the chosen action plan will be given so as to support the suggested gang control model.…
The Purpose of this paper is to discuss the creation story in Genesis 1-2, explain why Genesis is not a continuation of Genesis 1, find the major points these stories make about who God is, and explain what Genesis 1-3 tell us today about God and our world.…
Like Adam, the creature was launched into this world without a choice in who he is, how he’ll look like, and whether he initially wanted to be created. Adam, created by God, was the first of his kind designed in the image of affection and selflessness. Comparably, Frankenstein’s creation was flung, into the world of humans, the first of his kind; however, in an immense frame and a grotesque exterior. God had designed Adam in the image of beauty to, firstly, be accepted by society; however, it seemed that Frankenstein dismissed this matter. Frankenstein constructed his ‘human’ to be very tall, standing at about 8 feet, and with gruesome features: a pale face and yellow-like eyes, which lead the society to reject and loathe the ‘Being’.…
Temptation has been around since the conception of our Earth. All civilizations, including the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, the British, and even modern day individuals, have fallen victim to temptations that the world offers. John Owen described temptation as “a knife, that may either cut the meat or the throat of a man; it may be his food or his poison, his exercise or destruction.” A temptation is an act that appears enticing to an individual, but is usually coupled with damaging implications that may lead to feelings of regret and remorse. A person may fall victim to temptation when he lacks the self control to avoid enticing situations and is persuaded by another individual to commit such an act.…
