If failure was not an option and unlimited potential was my source, then “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:13 New International Version) This is an example of me being Christ conscious. Christ consciousness is when one has been awaken to the awareness of living like Christ. “A person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified (Galatians 2:16). Having Christ consciousness does not mean that we have strive to be just like him, but to do things on our own strength that you believe Christ would accomplish. The only Christ consciousness mentioned in the bible is found in Philippians 2:5–7, “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, …show more content…
This brings me to my next topic of social justice.
Before discussing the Christian view of social justice, we need to know exactly what social justice is in terms of religion. Social justice is a concept used to describe the movement towards a socially just world. The Bible teaches that God is a just God. In fact, “all his ways are justice” (Deuteronomy 32:4). The Bible supports the concept of social justice in which concern extra care is shown to the poor and afflicted (Deuteronomy 10:18; 24:17; 27:19). The Bible often refers to the fatherless, the widow and the sojourner – that is, people who were not able to fend for themselves or had no support system.
The Soul The topic of this paper is the soul. In this paper I will be discussing how the soul exists, what the purpose is and the difference between the body and the soul. Most people define the soul as the spiritual part of a human being or animal considered to be immortal. I do believe it differs from the actual body and that it continues to live on after the body is gone. I believe that there is a soul, because that is what I was taught in church. The Bible has taught me there is a body and
struggles. My decision to research on Vincent’s painting, Starry Night (1889) came with the inspiration from Don Mclean’s Song, Starry Starry Night where his lyrics spoke about Vincent’s life that further intrigued me in writing this paper. In this paper, we will focus on examining Vincent’s painting, Starry Night. The paper will begin with a short introduction about Vincent where an analysis will be conducted to explore more into the painting. Subsequently, the paper will move on to explain how
The Passionate of the Teacher I’m guessing my title has you judging me for making a parody of the movie, The Passion of the Christ, which is totally acceptable. During my teacher interview, Mrs. Sell kept hammering the idea of being a passionate and enthusiastic teacher. She uttered passionate and enthusiastic numerous times throughout the interview and that was the one of the biggest takeaways. Yes, I interviewed my mother and it was really interesting to hear and understand the jargon my mom was
"My art has always been in response to visions. Rather than confine my subject to representations of the outer worlds, I include portrayals of the multi-dimensional imaginal realms that pull us toward consciousness evolution." It has been said that artist Alex Grey is in the business of painting souls. His paintings are a mix of transcendentalist philosophy, precise anatomy, and a heady balance of major world religions. Grey's works have become increasingly popular during the early 2000s due to
involvement, and innovative extracurricular programs all carry significant potential for breaking past the omnipresent economic boundaries which masquerade as intellectual impasses. While these programs have their faults and deficits, the focus of this paper is not a criticism or praise of these initiatives. Rather, I seek to investigate the potential transformative power of education within the heart of domination and exclusion: the American prison. Here, youths excluded from the start by entrenched systems
Background The aim of this research proposal is to gain a full understanding of the cultural experience that was experienced by the researcher. Each person was afforded the task in choosing a place to visit that would exhibit the cultural practices. For the purposes of this research the Bobo Shanti village was picked because of interest in the Rastafarian culture. The visit was made to the Bobo Shanti camp in Bull Bay, St. Andrew in order to find information for this research paper. The Rastafarian movement

based on the power of detachment and disinterestedness of human spirit; it is not an utopia nor an imaginative synthesis. A cosmopolitan education is radically emancipative. It involves a dialectical self-appropriation of the dynamic unit of human consciousness in the variables of development. Self-appropriation involves a fourfold conversion: psycho-affective, intellectual, moral, and religious. A cosmopolitan education also teaches us to think historically, to reach a world-cultural community, and to

Introduction: Feminism is inseparable from postmodernism. Most of the research in social sciences was, in fact, carried out by feminists in the latter half of the twentieth century. Many feminists discarded the eighteenth century liberal feminism and responded to the fundamental philosophical discourses in the twentieth and

A Christian apologetic method is a verbal defense of the biblical worldview. A proof is giving a reason for why we believe. This paper will address the philosophical question of God’s existence from the moral argument. The presuppositional apologetic method of Reformed thinkers Cornelius Van Til and John Frame will be the framework. Topics covered here could undoubtedly be developed in more depth, but that would be getting ahead, here is the big picture. Apologetics comes from the Greek word

What struck me as odd throughout my research, aside from many eerie coincidences in the progression of their lives, was how many times the subject of Ludwig van Beethoven appeared in my research, as he was Wagner's first real musical inspiration and various references are made to him.
