He also had a lot of respect for women which was unusual at the

Death is the one thing in life we can be sure about and that is why religions have beliefs about what it means! Everything else ‘might’ happen to us: we might get married‚ be rich‚ be happy‚ have children‚ set up our own business or travel the world‚ but the only real certainty is that we will die. It is not surprising that people have always asked questions about what‚ if anything‚ happens after they die. Although some people claim to have had ‘near-death experiences’ (NDEs)‚ and others claim

That particular service the Lords Table was being observed. Before this point in my life‚ I had always claimed to be a Christian based on my church attendance‚ good behavior‚ and that fact that I just didn’t want to go to Hell. I knew I wanted to be in Heaven like everyone else does and that is where I placed my hope. But thankfully‚ on this Sunday night it finally clicked.

PART A The Nature of Life after Death. Believing in Life after Death appears to be common in all human societies. Dating back to the ancient times‚ the view that life after death is a life without bodies is still present. This view is largely associated with Dualism; this is something that largely influenced Christianity.

On the one hand‚ to some people‚ life is hard‚ cruel and merciless. On the other hand‚ there are those who see life as a challenge‚ a channel of discovery and innovation. Life is beautiful and I think that each day is a new opportunity to progress‚ to have new ideas and to do things better than the

Nyssan in The Life of Moses uses typology regularly to make his point known that Christ is personified in the life of Moses. Take Moses’ staff for example. The rod is made into a snake just as Jesus “was made into sin for our sake.” Christ in John 3:14 represents the staff that has to be lifted up for our sins‚ and by “becoming sin He became also a serpent‚ which is nothing other than sin.” With this rod of faith‚ Moses would “prevail against the Egyptian serpents” and triumph over the powers of

Paper #3 If I was approached about by someone or a group about embodying the principles of a Benedictine in their Christian life today‚ I would tell them “Ora et lobora‚” (Prayer is work and work is prayer). I would let them know that even though a monks life may seem transparent and simplistic it is still very difficult and requires great discipline. I have great respect for the Benedictine way in their thought process that prayer is work and work is prayer. Having that thought process is totally
