- How does Joshua prove the difficulty in living a true Christian life in the present?…
Jesus of Nazareth was born in a Jewish family, raised under Jewish law. The most audacious claim Jesus would ever state was that he was the Messiah and stating that he was God’s son. After Jesus’ death, his apostles spread his teachings throughout the Ancient world. The teachings of Jesus of Nazareth spread across the Classical world because it provided hope for all it’s followers, taught a doctrine of nonviolence, and because it invited all people of ethnic backgrounds.…
The Holocaust is known for the mass murders of Jewish people under the power of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party, which is also known as the National Socialist group, but there were many other groups that were persecuted during this time. The National Socialist group also persecuted Gypsies, Homosexuals, Blacks, handicapped and disabled, and last but not least Jehovah’s Witnesses. Jehovah’s Witnesses were not persecuted because of their racial appearances but because of their religion. Sometimes religion can be more important than your own life. The Jehovah’s Witnesses were targeted because of their refusal to swear loyalty to the Nazi’s or to serve in their armed forces. (Jehovah’s Witness: Article)…
Matthew 5-7 talks about the teachings of Jesus Christ to his disciples as he sat mountainside. He teaches them the way to live a blessed and holy life. His teaching are made up of four gospels (Good news) that begin the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The Christian Bible has two parts the Old Testament which is longer and the New Testament. The Old Testament is based on Jewish scripture while the New Testament begins with the teachings of Jesus Nazareth, a jew from Israel. Gospels are the stories about Jesus's life and teachings.

Jesus Christ is considered the Son, the Father, the Holy Ghost, and the Messiah, to millions of Christians around the world, but the debate still continues on whether or not Jesus is a rebel. A rebel is a person who rises in opposition or armed resistance to change the existing ideas or government. During his time, Jesus was a rebel, because he threatened the High Priest financial powers, and he challenged the upper class on how they treated the lower class and the social outcasts.…

We have heard of the Columbine shooting, where in the spring of 1999 in Littleton, Colorado over a dozen people where killed and many others were wounded at the hands of two students. Or even more recently, we heard about the Virginia Tech massacre where a single student killed thirty-two people and wounded over twenty more. University of Texas, California State University, San Diego State University, the list of school violence is long and heart-breaking. Students and teachers have lost their lives by the dozens to gunmen that carried a grudge for some reason or another. These are extreme cases, for sure, and there is without a doubt a need for discipline in schools every where. However, zero-tolerance policies are not the answer to school discipline unless they can be reformed to have fewer gray areas and kept from being too strict, be less disruptive to the education process and allow teachers to keep their voices, and figure out how to correct claims of racial discrimination, regardless of claims that they are effective.…

One miracle that Jesus of Nazareth performed was the healing of a deaf man with a speech impediment. The story of this miracle starts in a crowd where a deaf man comes up to Jesus and asks to be healed. Jesus takes him away from the crowd, heals the man, and tells him not to inform anyone about Jesus’ healing of him. The man disobeys him and proclaims the goodness of Jesus to everyone. The use of the word “proclaim” in this passage, “But the more he ordered them not to, the more they proclaimed” (Mk 7:36), has also been utilized in other parts of Mark’s Gospel, and according to Catholic New American Bible Revised Edition Footnotes, “Implied in the action of the crowd is a recognition of the salvific mission of Jesus,” (pg 4336-4337). The…
looking for alaska before one hundred thirty-six days before the week beforeI left my family and Florida and the rest of my minor life to go to boarding school in Alabama, my mother insisted on throwing me a goingaway party. To say that I had low expectations would be to underestimate the matter dramatically. Although I was more or less forced to invite all my "school friends," i.e., the ragtag bunch of drama people and English geeks I sat with by social necessity in the cavernous cafeteria of my public school, I knew they wouldn't come. Still, my mother persevered, awash in the delusion that I had kept my popularity secret from her all these years. She cooked a small mountain of artichoke dip. She festooned our living room in green and yellow…

Until recently, traditional Christian theology was interpreted only by white males. In a modern world things are changing. In her book Consider Jesus, Elizabeth Johnson states that women “are waking up to their own dignity and finding their own voice” (page 97). Despite the feminist theology movement that Johnson describes, sexism and male dominance is embedded in the culture of the Catholic Church. Women will have equal rights under canon law, the problem is “Time”, the same thought process of 100 years ago is still active in the Church today. Only when the new generations of clergy is in place can change come. When it comes to the Christological interpretation woman voices can strengthen the debate, but it will take many generations for the old establishment to give way to an equal gender hierarchy. This is a strong argument, because in order for the old establishment to change and accept women, women need to make an effort to actively work to reform the current hierarchy.…
