Ephesians: Reoccurring Themes

281 Words2 Pages

The reoccurring themes throughout Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians that I have depicted are; God’s unwavering forgiveness, God’s unconditional love, the mystery of God, being saved by grace through faith, and to build people up; not tear them down. In Ephesians, Paul entails that encountering the love of God will immerse us completely with all the wholeness of God. If we are not encountering the completeness of God in our everyday lives, then we are not acquiring God’s love in its entirety. The unconditional overflowing love of God is essential. Displayed through actions are also a byproduct of love. Although writing from prison, Paul’s letter to the Philippians has more guidance to joy and rejoicing then any of his other letters. Paul

  • Euthyphro: Plato's Argument

    272 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Euthyphro, Plato’s method of arguing obliviously proves the point that evidence and a clear thought out explanation is needed when trying to describe and explain the difference between two things—especially when involving right and wrong. Although it helps to prove it and make you truly think about the definitions as well as how to describe it, for the person, in this case Euthyphro, on the other side of the argument it can be very annoying; because you explain one thing and then are questioned and have to explain more or then you being to questioned on your own thinking making you have to restart. It is in a way similar to now how little kids go through a phase were they ask “why” to anything and everything; typically the one being questioned

  • Pathos In Letter To Birmingham Jail

    930 Words  | 4 Pages

    King knows that the clergymen have profound sense of the Bible’s literature and attempts to use his biblical allusions to reason with them better. By incorporation the Bible into his letter, King compares them to actions he has upon good faith. He states, “Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid”. In this statement, King is comparing his prediction of freedom with Apostle Paul’s gospel. Another formidable source of pathos is King’s experience of true immoral behavior.

  • Pride And Imagery In Plato's Euthyphro

    710 Words  | 3 Pages

    How Plato’s “Euthyphro” illustrates the toxic relationship between pride and ignorance. I would first like to start this essay off with a parable that was told to me during a fundamentals of communication class a few years ago during my sophomore year here at university. I believe the main philosophical message found in this parable really highlights that of what Socrates was anticipating Euthyphro would eventually realize in their dialogue about the true definition of piety. The story goes as followed one day a very knowledgeable college professor who specialized in buddhism had a guest speaker over to visit and to lecture to the class.

  • Summary Of The Old Testament By David Youngblood

    1150 Words  | 5 Pages

    The heart of the Old Testament second edition is a book written by Ronald Youngblood. Robert Youngblood wrote this book with a goal of showing people that the Old Testament is not any different from the New Testament, and should not be treated as a separate entity. In the book, Youngblood identifies the nine themes that form the pillar of the Old Testament. He then discusses these nine themes of the Old Testaments with supporting scriptures from the New Testament. The nine themes include monotheism, covenant, law, sovereignty, theocracy, sacrifice, election, redemption and faith (Youngblood, 1998).

  • Paul's Final Letters From The Jail Cell Analysis

    118 Words  | 1 Pages

    Message: Paul’s Final Greetings from the Jail Cell After reviewing the passages in Book of Philippians it was very apparent that Paul had a beginning and end story to tell & write about. The Final Greeting: is the most intriguing part of book of Philippians which depicts the events that lead up to the writing in which he wrote the four (epistles) letters from the jail cell, and the shortest of them all were that of which came from the smaller books listed in our New Testament Bible. The shortcomings of the message had such a powerful influence that one should be able to hear if not see that the message was giving thanks to Philippians Church people.

  • Philippian Rhetoric Analysis

    204 Words  | 1 Pages

    The author thinks that Philippians was written from an Ephesian imprisonment and, therefore, it was one of Paul's first letters. Many think that Philippians is a letter of friendship, but this author thinks that this idea is not very good, although he does not reject it outright. the author combs that Philippians is a single letter and not a mosaic of three letters, as some have claimed. the commentary is very brief. One of its strongest points was the discussion of the rhetoric of Paul's argument.

  • Ephesians 6: 15 New American Standards (CAPTA)

    1743 Words  | 7 Pages

    Historical Background of the Policy America is founded on the ideology of Christianity. Whether one believes in the Bible, or not, society still focuses on similar morals and values portrayed in the Bible. The Bible describes children as blessings from the Lord (Psalm 127: 3-5 New American Standard Version), and it also states not to provoke our children (Ephesians 6:4 New American Standard Version). There is controversy in the book of Proverbs where it is notated that a child is foolish until a rod of discipline removes foolishness (Proverbs 22:15 New American Standard Version). Again, it is mentioned when explaining that disciplining a child will not kill the child, discipline will only correct the child (Proverbs 23:13 New American Standard Version).

  • Paul Bernier's Letter To Timothy I Timothy Analysis

    217 Words  | 1 Pages

    Without well-grounded knowledge and understanding of God and how He interacts with humankind, any service to and for Him would be ineffective. According to Paul Bernier (1992), it is absolutely imperative to understand who God is, the role of Jesus Christ, and the history of the early church’s formation as these elements “lies at the heart of what church is all about.” Sound theology edifies the Body of Christ and guides the growth of the church, leaving little room for distortion, abuse, misalignment, or confusion about the Word of God. Ministry is service to God; however, how can there be heart-felt service to a God for whom there is no formal understanding?

  • The Aeneid And Jesus Analysis

    1721 Words  | 7 Pages

    In the Bible and Virgil’s The Aeneid, the pursuit of honor and glory is complex, and it does not come without serious consequences and hardships. However, while Jesus and Aeneas both strive to achieve a certain goal due to divine intervention and both overcome certain adversities, their underlying motives and their ultimate outcomes are starkly different. Although it would appear that neither Jesus nor Aeneas would be motivated by personal fame or glory—as they were sent on godly missions, this is not the case in The Aeneid. Jesus acts completely selflessly as he teaches others about the Kingdom of God and how to live their lives, whereas Aeneas is working to win greatness for his ancestors as he was sent by the gods to settle and create an

  • Piety: The Argument Between Euthyphro And Socrates

    1175 Words  | 5 Pages

    Piety is the quality of being religious and reverent. It is used in a way to refer to win the favor or forgiveness of God. Piousness is an act of doing right things and being the righteous in the eyes of the God and according to Holy scripts, as it is mentioned in Holy Quran “… and whoever respects the signs of Allah, this is (the outcome) of the piety of hearts.” Piety is also a believe or point of view which is accepted with unthinking conventional reverence. The argument between Euthyphro and Socrates started when they met each other at king-archon’s court, where Socrates explained him that he is under indictment by one Meletus for corrupting young and not believing in gods in whom city believes.

  • Opposition Brings Concord: Heraclitus Of Ephesus

    386 Words  | 2 Pages

    Heraclitus of Ephesus wrote "Opposition brings concord: Out of discord comes the fairest harmony." Based on Wikipedia Heraclitus of Ephesus was a pre-socratic greek philospher, a native of the Greek city Ephesus, Ionia, on the coast of Asia Minor. He was of distinguished parentage. Little is known about his early life and education, but he regarded himself as self-taught and a pioneer of wisdom. From the lonely life he led, and still more from the riddling and allegedly paradoxical nature of his philosophy and his stress upon the needless unconsciousness of humankind, he was called "The Obscure" and the "Weeping Philosopher".

  • Reflection Of Paul's Pneumatology

    1434 Words  | 6 Pages

    Paul’s pneumatology found in his writings has been a matter of interest in recent New Testament scholarship. Gordon Fee has been a great contributor in this area and in Paul, the Spirit and the People of God he outlines the various elements found in Pauline pneumatology giving us greater insight into this subject. In this paper I will highlight some of these elements that are unique to Paul and are not found in the Synoptic Gospels and Acts. The first distinctive of Pauline pneumatology is the way he sees the Spirit as God’s personal presence. For Paul, the coming of the Spirit meant that God had fulfilled the promises He had made to Jeremiah and Ezekiel when He said, ‘I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel’ (Jer. 31:31), and
