lifespan here on earth. For me‚ my perspective comes from a point of view that not many people have growing up. Born and raised a Jew‚ I always heard the term “Jewish”‚ and celebrated “Jewish” holidays and read a language that went from right to left‚ but never really knew what it truly meant to me. Your parents tell you‚ “Here’s how to be Jewish‚ here’s how to get bar-mitzvahed” but you never know how or why‚ you just listen to them‚ and do it. After

The Lutheran denomination is the oldest of all the Protestant denominations. It was founded by Martin Luther‚ the German monk and professor who famously posted 95 Theses against the practice of indulgences in 1517. The founding of the denomination wasn’t intentional at first. Luther saw contradictions between the Bible and current practices of the Church as well as corruption and abuse within the Church‚ and had hoped for reform‚ not a schism. When that proved impossible‚ he continued to spread his

Worldview is the way we view the world. Christians should view the world with a Christian mindset with biblical foundations. A house is not going to be house without the framework‚ the structure which supports the walls. Therefore‚ the foundational absolute truths we build our view of the world is on our worldview. Moreover‚ it is where we can nail our judgments about how we view people‚ God‚ Christianity‚ and faith. God spoke (Genesis 1:3) and the world and everything in it came into existence.

The customs of an ancient Jewish wedding ceremony teach us over and over again what Jesus actually did‚ and will do for a people that have followed His Father’s Commandments‚ and kept themselves holy‚ and set apart from the world. The first step in an ancient Jewish wedding ceremony began with the father of a bridegroom choosing a bride for his son. However‚ the father of an ancient Jewish bridegroom could have also sent a representative to secure a bride for his son. We see this occur when Abraham

Around the world in Christian and secular circles we hear the word stewardship. Not only is stewardship one of the basic issues discussed in scripture‚ but it’s also something we neglect as something we need to concentrate on while going through our own Christian walk. We live in a society that is very individualistic‚ concentrating on whatever will bring pleasure and make us feel good. Stewardship definitely doesn’t fit into the way society is today. Before going to far into this‚ what exactly

Christian Influences in Beowulf In the epic Beowulf ‚ the story was translated by two scribes‚ A and B‚ into the manuscript that we read today. Because these scribes were monks‚ there are a great many Christian influences throughout the translation. In the “Wrath of Grendel‚” early in the story we see a perfect example. Grendel is irritated by the music he hears coming from Herot‚ Hrothgar’s “golden” mead hall. The “harps rejoicing/Call and the poet’s clear songs‚ sung/Of

A long time ago‚ near the bridge to the celestial city‚ I sat and waited for any weary travelers to summon me‚ and then I heard it‚ like the screech of a raven‚ the screams of people coming from the City of Destruction. Duty calls‚ now is my time to help. Outside the city of destruction‚ was a man‚ this man seemed frightened‚ as if he had heard something unsettling‚ so I followed him to see where he was going

discuss them all here. Rather‚ our focus will be on those concepts and doctrines that are distinctively Christian‚ and which have been the focus of a good deal of recent discussion in the philosophical literature. Thus‚ although theism is a central Christian concept‚ it is not distinctively Christian and so will not be covered here. Further‚ although views about the Eucharist‚ a central Christian concept‚ have held a significant place in the philosophical dialogue in former times‚ it will not be discussed

CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE- PROSTITUTION Basically‚ if we talk about the Christian perspective on Prostitution‚ the Church is strongly against on it because it does not jive with the moral teachings of the Bible. God guides us to a right perspective through his written word. The Bible teaches that sex is a good gift from God to any heterosexual couple who in love and law promise enduring and exclusive fidelity to one another. Sex is God’s gift to every bride and groom‚ to be unwrapped on the honeymoon

In the “Cutting the Jewish Bride’s Hair”‚ it seems that women liked to grow out their hair and keep it long and flowing. The groom did not appear to like it and wanted it to be cut off. It is as though‚ his bride’s long hair interrupted him. He needed to divorce her from what she loved in order to marry her so she would only love him and not her hair. She would then have to learn to cut her hair‚ in order to please him. To him‚ having clean‚ braided hair meant‚ she would only belong to him.
