Many people have heard of Saul from the Bible, and many people have heard of Paul from the Bible. However, not so many people know that Saul and Paul were the same person. (Not King Saul, FYI he’s a different dude.) Paul is known for his incredible testimony to Jesus, but in what seems like another life, he was actually a persecutor of Christians, and was responsible for many of their deaths. In this other lifetime his name was Saul. (Acts 7:57 - 8:3) After countless Christians were killed and persecuted

During this time period, he wrote a collection of poetry that spanned the history of Rome’s beginnings up to Julius Caesar.

In life, there is always at least one moment we are called upon to “step up to the plate” and be a leader. This is not always easy, though. We may struggle with this calling because what we are being asked to day may be difficult for us to swallow. We might even fail at what is being asked of us to do at times. Some things we are called upon to do may be of far greater importance than others. In reference to baseball, being called upon by your coach to “take one for the team” by sacrificing yourself
The Love Story of Pyramus and Thisbe “Pyramus was the most handsome of young men and Thisbe was the fairest beauty of the East.” ~Ovid in Metamorphoses Pyramus and Thisbe lived in Babylonia and from the time they were young, were neighbors.

Ovid's Metamorphoses: An Example of Chaos Versus Order Ovid's Metamorphoses is an example of chaos versus order. I think that is what makes it hard to follow. There is just so much chaos moving from one book to another with barely a transition. I think what the anti-epic is trying to show is that everyone has flaws. In the beginning of time a flood changed the earth. The earth was made pure and two by two it began to prosper and grow again. This was chaos followed by order. The poem continues

Today we look at Aphrodite as a goddess of love, desire, and beauty, but in ancient Greece she was an Olympian who was worshipped on many other occasions for a great array of reasons. Her powers carried weight in the many realms of love, protection, desire, and even war. Aphrodite was said to be born of the sea from the severed genitals of Ouranos. While the myth says she washed upon the shores of Cyprus in the foam of the ocean, her actual origins are more unclear. She does not seem to be native

Ovid’s Metamorphoses is as an epic containing fifteen books about the element of change. This work describes the myths of transformation as well as the many forms of love and power. The transformational power of love is a common theme in the stories of Metamorphoses; the forms that love takes are different and thought as provoking. One of the stories Ovid describes subsists that of Venus and Adonis; the transformational power of love shown in the epic is sorrowful, yet beautiful. However, are Ovid’s
Long ago there was city called Cyprus, an island in ancient Greece. The patron deity of the city was the beautiful goddess of love, Aphrodite. Aphrodite was not a fan of the city of Cyprus, specifically the women there. The women that lived within Cyprus neglected to pay homage to the beautiful goddess, fuling her animosity towards the women. Because of the neglect shown by the women Aphrodite cast a curse upon all of the women that they may only live the forsaken loveless life of being a prostitute

10:28a “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish.” Now that is eternal security. John continues in John 10:28b and says “neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” The sinner already bought and paid for, is secured in the hand of Jesus at the moment he is indwelt by the Holy Spirit. Though the sinner did not ask, the Spirit moved right in and sealed Himself as an earnest (down payment) for security. Ephesians 1:13b states “in whom also after that ye believed, ye
