Team B has been commissioned to design and develop a piece of art that will represent developments in world events and cultural patterns, past and present, in Judaism and Christianity. The sculpture will be placed at the Christian and Jewish Interfaith Cultural and Historical Center. The piece Team B has chosen is a statue of an angel holing the Star of David and a Holy Cross. This sculpture will appropriately represent both faiths. Team B also discusses why the group believes the piece will reflect Jewish and Christian concepts of humanity 's relationship to the world and deity, and how the piece will enhance intellectual and physical environments, as well as how it represents the Cultural and Historical Center.…
Primarily, Hammurabi’s code and the Ten Commandments share similar and different laws used to control people of different societies. Hammurabi’s code was created to govern the people of Babylon’s behaviour, and set standards for his people. The central theme for his code was equal justice between his people. The Ten Commandments were created to help believers of God keep away from sin. Many biblical versions of the Ten Commandments were created. As a result of Hammurabi’s code and the Ten Commandments the people learnt how to follow and obey their king or religious leader, and respect one another as…
The Ten Commandments show us what good is according to God. The Ten Commandments explain to us how we should act and what our religious and social duties should be. God could be said to be showing his love for this through these laws. Another common biblical image of God is that of a judge to whom we all answer to, however, if God is seen as a judge “Psalms 75:7 But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another,” then he must be trying to divide the good from the bad, we could see this as God trying to protect the people who worship him from the sinners, however it is hard to distinguish the bad from the good. The Ten Commandments offer a guide for this, so that we can see what is wrong and what is right, so therefore we could see this as a good act of God as throughout the Bible God demonstrates his desire for justice for his people. People may follow the Ten Commandments because they are scared of the possibility of going to Hell or that they are so full of faith for the Lord that they follow them without thinking, that if it is the wish of God then they must act and follow these rules. The Old Testament displays God as being vengeful and punishing those who sin, whereas in the New he is seen as being forgiving and loving. These are two sides of God which keep people obeying the Ten Commandments, as there are two opinions of him, one that he is punishing and the other that he is forgiving. God also punishes those because he loves all people and love…

Lewis shared this does not mean stopping the things that we enjoy, but practicing moral obedience to help us achieve higher morals that pleases God. Three morals are discussed and among the most important rules and moral standards. Lewis (2009), stated "firstly, fair play and harmony between individuals. Secondly, tidying up or harmonizing the things inside each.…
Differing from any laws of the time were the Judaic laws. Their laws were said to be authored by a higher power. Collectively these laws are known as the Ten Commandments. These laws not only governed how the Jewish people should live and worship, but also set them apart from their neighbors with the law such as circumcision. The punishment for breaking these laws would result in harsh punishment not from man but by God.…
6. What are the two Main Tenets of “Religious Ethics”? How do we know God’s Will?…
Evidence supporting each of these “commandments” for life can be found within the works of Epictetus. In Discourses, the message that is presented encourages man to be thankful to God “for sight, and hearing, and indeed for life itself,” and it provides many examples of how the Will controls all things. Epictetus prompts questions for the reader, and supports his theory by explaining that all things are out of our control, and that God is ultimately in charge. In Enchiridion, we are encouraged to honor the blessings that the Lord has given to us. It is said that everything that we have belongs to Him, and that we should take care of it, but not as our own.…
GOD revealing himself through these covenants shows first GOD love unto us all, but how GOD keeps his promise. With each covenants, these are all covenants that we still today strive to live by and ourselves; such as, “love our neighbor as we love ourselves.”…
The first four commandments focus on the relationship between man and God. They command man to revere God and worship Him only. Further, the Sabbath day should be honored as the day a man focuses on their creator. On the other hand, the other six, focus on the relationship between man and another. The emphasis is that people should live harmoniously with one another, thus eliminating vices such as murder, stealing, disrespect, adultery, coveting and bearing false witnesses (Exodus 20, King James Version).…
The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the Jewish religion, Judaism, by attending a religious service and talking with the members of the Jewish faith in order to get to know their values, traditions, and demeanor. I will visit the Hebrew congregation synagogue in Reston, Virginia in order to attend a religious service and converse with members of the Jewish faith. This analysis will also incorporate any misconceptions that were found after learning more about the religion through interacting with members of the Jewish faith and spending time at their place of worship. This paper will aim to test my assumptions and preconceptions of Judaism through my research and interaction with people of its faith during my attendance at the religious service.…
