The Christian ritual of Baptism Many forms of Christianity unite in their belief of performing the ritual of Baptism. But it is seen that these Christian denominations differ widely in their teachings about Baptism. While some consider it a rite of passage into the family of God‚ others strongly believe that without Baptism one cannot truly attain heaven‚ as it accomplishes the “washing away of sin”. There are others that teach it as an important step in the believer’s life without it having the

2013 Beowulf: Christian Elements Beowulf is a poem that has been told over time repeatedly. This poem dates back as far as the ninth century and "recalls a heroic age in which monsters stalked men by night‚ dragons guarded hoards of precious gems and heirloom swords‚ and heroes carried out great deeds of warfare that would be commemorated by song and feat."

Christian Philosophy of Education As we go through our day by day lives in a very secular world‚ I believe it is very easy to question ourselves as Christian educators. We ask ourselves if we are doing our jobs exactly to God’s calling. Are we striving to teach the truth? And with that‚ what is truth?

verses sum up not only Paul’s view that the world is full of sinners‚ but that the cost of that sin is death and eternal life away from God. If we‚ like Paul states have a sinful nature‚ than we can do nothing but sin. Christ came to pay the cost of that sin‚ and Paul states that in Romans 5:8‚ that God demonstrated his love for us‚ in that while we were still sinners‚ Christ died for us. Paul also shares with us the way to salvation is through Christ Jesus alone. In Roman s 10:9 we find the way
