Kingdom of God versus opposition: There has been resistance, protracted warfare where people: who comprise kings and presidents of the world, are used of the devil to oppose the gospel.

In this parable, Jesus is teaching any who will listen that not everyone will find the time to hear his words, but everyone who does will flourish and spread his word like a flower spreads its seeds when it blooms.

The Anglo-Saxons were a Germanic tribe who inhabited the land that we now call England and Wales, from the 5th century to the Norman conquest.

Nicodemus ‘the quintessence of Judaism’ held (Vawter 429). Though Nicodemus was a Jewish rabbi, there are signs that he believed in Jesus’ teaching when he proclaimed that; ‘Rabbi we know that you have come from God as a teacher, for no one could perform the signs that you do unless God were with

People view a hero as someone who works to save people from any sort of evil. A hero is meant to be “perfect”. In contrast, an Aristotelian tragic hero suffers a single great flaw, leading to their ultimate downfall. The flaw is known as hubris, which is defined as excessive pride. These elements are found in William Shakespeare’s tragic play, Macbeth. Macbeth begins the play as a war hero, but in the end, he is killed for his evil ambitions. Throughout the play, Macbeth makes choices that affect

I have been convinced that Hesiod is indeed a man that was influenced by the kingdom of darkness of the spiritual realm. Everything he writes is inspired by the governor of such kingdom or his workers, and I know I might be mocked at this, but truth is truth whether it is believed or not. It is indeed easier to believe he is a mere poet that writes myths and metaphors using the word “gods” in order to explain his worldview. Nevertheless, reasoning in this manner is ignoring the spiritual structures

The same is true for any government or organisation that rejects Jesus and His word. Any organisation that rejects the Lamb of God belongs to the devil. Organisations and governments always make many excuses for making laws or policies that are against Jesus and His word.
