Gentiles: A Case Study
Hello Andrea, I agree with you that Paul did play a significant role in helping to convert many Gentiles. This became a problem with the Jewish Christians because Paul wanted to get them in the church, but the other leaders in the church were against it. Paul got the church council together, and they decided that the Gentile men did not have to be circumcised to join the church. I believe that we all have differences and beliefs, but whatever they are we can work through them and come to a solution just like the early church set the example.

    Pax Roman Caligula-When: 37 AD-41 AD

    Paul in enabling Christianity to spread throughout the Mediterranean world was significant. He made the religion of Christianity a distinct religion. He was Jewish but he lived outside Jerusalem and interacted with non-Jews. He argues you do not need to be Jewish in order to become Christian and says it is no longer necessary to abide by Jewish rules (that hinder people from converting to Judaism) because Jesus had died for their sins. St. Paul also traveled along the Mediterranean area preaching about how you do not need to abide by the Jewish laws and can become Christian. Although he was executed when he went to Rome (speculated by historians) he was able to spread Christianity in the Mediterranean World and he had wrote the New Testament.…

    Gelernter: The Correlation Between Jews And Non-Jewish

    Gelernter is a professor of computer science at Yale University. Gelernter had an incident where his right hand and eye get damaged because somebody sent him a package that he believed was a doctoral dissertation but it wasn’t, it was a bomb sent by Ted Kaczynski who the FBI dubbed the Unabomber. According to WNET (2010), "Gelernter presents himself as a local guide to the faith, offering to lead Jewish and non-Jewish readers alike into what he calls “the inner courtyard” of Judaism to see what cannot be seen from the outside." Gelernter grew up in a Jewish family, his grandpa was a rabbi. He have a master degree in Hebrew Bible and computer science. According to LEFKOWITZ (2010), "With "separation" (between Jew and non-Jew, the Sabbath and…

    Nano's Argument

    The nano’s argument is that the Paul’s perspective that Christianity has been trumped by certain quarters as being a “replacement” to Judaism. But, Nano happily suggests that Christians can learn more about Judaism by reading Paul. For Nano’s, Paul was understood as a strict follower of the Torah or, at least, an observant Jew, but the proposal of law free-living is not for the Jew but for the non-Jews. This is where Nano’s brought so many Jews and non-Jews perspective, this is a strange but worth reading, that Paul is “involved in the spread of first-century Judaism from the perspective of a Jewish coalition” (167). Nano’s explains that this “a temporary group committed to a specific task” within and on behalf of the larger Jewish community”…

    Religion 212 Final

    There are several revelations presented by Paul with greatly differ from those practiced by followers of Judaism. One of this first revelations was that the church should be separate from the synagogue. Paul then states that all people of faith are “children of Abraham,” meaning that any person of any race are children of God, and not just those of Jewish lineage. This also lead to the belief that circumcision, a Jewish belief and practice, was no longer required in order to be a part of the faith. As for Marriage, Paul states that Christians should only marry other Christians, However, they do not have to be of Jewish descent. As for God's warnings and promise to Judaism, these beliefs still hold true. The purpose of the “Church Age” is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. Not much is really happening with the nation of Israel during this time. Paul preached that it will not be until after the Church is taken away, or “Ruptured” that God's focus will again be on the nation of Israel.…

    Paul of Tarsus

    Although many of Paul’s teachings have been contributed in the formation of Christianity, his teachings have also caused many controversies for the faith. This started with his controversial championing of the Gentiles but also caused other strong divisions in early Christianity. Other elements of Paul’s teachings eventually stimulated the Reformation- the pre-eminent schism in the history of Christianity. In addition, still others of Paul’s words cause controversy for the modern Christian Church in ‘his’ insistence on a subservient role for women and his condemnation of homosexuality.…

    Which is also the basic element to all Christians, for man cannot do business with God until man is willing to approach the situation properly. Although the epistle is directed more so to the Gentiles, it can still be relevant to contemporary society. There is no distinction between man in the way of faith, because God’s salvation is for everyone. Paul develops this element of God’s righteousness throughout the epistle to the Romans. (Tenney 1985, 305).…

    To Struggle: What It Means To Be A Jewish

    A foundational part of being Jewish is to struggle. Throughout history, the Jewish people have struggled both physically - with the hardships that they had to face – and intellectually - with what is called a cognitive dissonance. In fact, one of the earliest struggles can be traced back to the prophet Jacob, who had to struggle with God himself. By writing this paper, I wish to explain why ‘to struggle’ is such a foundational part in the Jewish tradition through the story of ‘Jacob’s wrestling with God’ and two other examples which are the story of ‘King David and Bathsheba’ and ‘Abraham and Sarah’.…

    Jewish Diaspora Research Paper

    Redemption is a significant aspect of Jewish Tradition exemplifying the eternal aspect of the covenant and renders God as the only determinant of salvation for humanity. The Jewish Diaspora significantly changed the perception of the covenantal relationship between God and his people generating adaptations to the Jewish Tradition in efforts to represent Jew’s newly evolved perception of their Jewry, ultimately influencing new insights on redemption. Rabbinic Judaism, Lurianic Kabbalah, and Hasidic ideologies make evident the physical, spiritual, and mental changes of Jewish logic that manifest within the consecutive development of Judaism.…

    Religion and Ethnic Groups

    My religion of choice for this paper is Buddhism. Unlike most other religions, Buddhism does not have a savior or an omnipresent God like Christianity. The relationship between a follower, or disciple, and the Buddha is the same as a teacher has with his or her students. Buddhists place more emphasis on self-discipline and self-reliance rather than having blind faith. Buddhists are accepting of all other religions and faiths. They are all about reasoning, understanding, and exploration. Where Christianity seeks to convert other religions to their own, Buddhists do not. Buddhists believe in Karma; Karma is the belief in rebirth as a potentially endless series of worldly existences. In America, we have come to know karma by the phrase, “What goes around comes around.” Even though every American is not a disciple of Buddha, they still have a sense of good and evil. They feel that good deeds beget good deeds and that is usually enough to make most people think twice before they act. This way of thinking is a primary teaching of Buddha.…
