Recommended: Influence of the apostle paul

In Paul’s letters he wrote as Christians we are to give up our lives to serve Jesus. In the context where Paul says, “Beware of dogs.” I gather this to mean impure, unclean or even unholy people who would consume you. Paul probably gave this moniker because of how the people spoke against the principles of the gospel. They were wanting to chomp those who were combating their wrong doing. Evil workers speaks of Jewish teachers who are masquerade to be great workers but are not at all. As we read this chapter we can probably gather that they were about rituals and law. I once heard my pastor state beware that this is a three-fold warning for Christians. Be aware of those who will manipulate the gospel and be aware of false teachings. False

  • All Quiet On The Western Front By Erich Maria Remarque

    1201 Words  | 3 Pages

    While Paul and his comrades fight on the front lines, Paul narrates, “We have become wild beasts...It is not against men that we fling our bombs, what do we know of men in this moment when Death is hunting us down.” (Remarque 113). “Beasts” are known to rely and live by survival, and the connotation of the word “beast” implies a sense of savagery and barbarity. This prioritization of pure survival for Paul, simply being a “beast”, then neglects other humanizing proponents. These proponents include emotions of shame and guilt because of the deaths of these enemy soldiers. This neglect follows up with, “what do we know of men in this moment when Death is hunting us down.” The personification of death in this quote paints it as a physical threat within that moment. During the previous portion of the quote, “what do we know of men” is truly where the disconnect between the soldiers’ sense of humanity and their need to survive occurs as a juxtaposition between the enemy soldiers and death itself. One is viewed as frivolous and insignificant, “men” are human-beings that one can feel an emotional connection towards. However, “death” is a dire threat within that moment. They must view these individuals as nothing but obstacles and enemies to be overcome. The shame and guilt of taking

    In the Galatian letter, Paul offers a stern rebuke to the Christians there for accepting false teachings. In fact, they had turned aside to what he describes as a “different gospel” (Gal. 1:6-10). Undoubtedly, this “different gospel” sounded good. But was it really good? Most certainly not! We live in a deceitful world, and Satan seeks to find ways to infiltrate a Christian’s life and lead him/her astray. Chimney corner Scriptures are merely one avenue he might

The waged for factory workers were low, but they were not always guaranteed. The Knights of Labor pushed for a federal law that would force employers to “pay employees weekly, in full, for labor performed during the preceding week” (Shi 62). These people were only working in harmful conditions to survive but were not guaranteed enough money to feed their families.

  • The Setting of Paul's Case

    1097 Words  | 3 Pages

    The setting of the short story “Paul’s Case” is clear and appropriate for the story. This is because Paul's feelings in the story happen to have a direct connection to the setting of the story. The East Coast of the United States is where the story takes place. From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Newark, New Jersey, and then on to New York, New York, the exact setting differs throughout the story. “…the dull dawn was beginning to show grey when the engine whistled a mile out of Newark” (Cather). At this point in the story, the main character, Paul, is on board a train which has departed from his hometown of Pittsburgh en route to the Jersey City Station. From there, he plans to make his way to the glamorous New York City, a city that he has always dreamed about visiting. As Paul reads the Pittsburgh paper on the morning of his eighth day in New York, he figures out that his dad is coming for him. “The rumour had reached Pittsburgh that the boy had been seen in a New York hotel, and his father had gone East to find him and bring him home” (Cather). Paul’s father is pursuing him because Paul had left home over a week ago and his father, only now, knows where Paul has run off to. The setting has a direct correlation to the state of Paul’s mind. For example, in a gloomy Pittsburgh, Paul tries anything and everything to get out of the life he is living, and escapes to the glamour and high-class life of New York. “…the New York scenes are heavily ironic…as [Paul] luxuriates in the Waldorf” (Wasserman). He does this in an attempt to find a better life for himself and to make himself, ultimately, happy.

  • Misleading Statistics Summary

    690 Words  | 2 Pages

    I see many connections between the verses and the article Misleading Statistics (2015), by Bob Korn and the bible verses. The article talks a lot about a person’s willingness to manipulate the facts to benefit themselves in a given situation. There are many ways that are described such as omitting information to allow the reader to interpret the facts differently, while still presenting the facts, just not all of them. Or rewording questions or facts in order persuade others to see things a certain way. Or plainly as Bob Korn tells us “an obvious problem with statistics is that they can be simply fabricated.” He goes on to say “of course this could be true with any claim, but because statistics are specific numbers, they have a quality of authority about them, and we may be a little less suspicious that a statistical claim is false than we would be for a more descriptive argument.” This reminds me of a State Farm commercial from 2012 where the actors are discussing that you can’t believe everything you read on the internet, I suppose the same could be said regarding statistics. Just because it sounds factual doesn’t mean that it is entirely true.
