We confess our fault. It’s just that we have a better option. In contradistinction to this better option‚ the ungodly trilemma claims that all thinkers are limited to three choices for thinking. It not only ignores divine revelation but also denies demonic influence. Clearly‚ denying demonic Influence is failing

    Genesis and Gilgamesh

    After reading the flood story of Gilgamesh and the flood story in Genesis it is obvious that there is a relationship between the two. If someone were to tell you a summary of one‚ they would ultimately be telling you a summary of the other. But just because the overviews are the same does not mean that they are not different. The Epic of Gilgamesh and the story of Genesis have very minor differences‚ but these differences make each story distinct. When God made human beings he did so because he

    After reading the Epic of Gilgamesh I put great thought into the meaning and exactly who was tamed. I think this epic is about the taming of nature and man. To me‚ Enkidu represents nature he was created as a wild man and “he was innocent of mankind; he knew nothing of the cultivated land.” He is animal like in the beginning of the epic and it takes the advancement of the harlot to make him a man. Once Enkidu has slept with the harlot his animal brethren no longer accept him because he now has the

    Beowulf Vs. Gilgamesh The two cultures I chose to compare heroic values for are the ancient Mesopotamia and ancient Anglo-Saxon cultures. The texts I used in the comparison are Gilgamesh for Mesopotamia and Beowulf for Anglo-Saxon. Although they posses many similar heroic characteristics they also differ greatly. Beowulf is the earliest surviving epic poem written in a modern European language. It was written in Old English sometime before the tenth century A.D. The poem describes the adventures

    THE MONOMYTH OF HARRY POTTER The heroic monomyth (also known as the Hero’s Journey) describes the common stages of a hero’s journey found in many stories. Joseph Campbell first described the monomyth in 1949 in his book “The Hero with a Thousand Faces”. Although the nature of the monomyth may not be appealing to everyone‚ it is very interesting to those who actually take the time to learn about it and how it applies to stories and movies in today’s modern world. Take for example‚ popular movies
