Plays An Important Role Played An Important Role
1,393 wordsBEHIND EVERY GOOD MAN IS A GREAT WOMAN Most ancient texts were written by men. It is important to remember this. The writers made sure that men were always the heroes, the powerful ones -- the important ones. Women always seem to lay in the background. However, we must not blame this solely on the writers.

Adam And Eve Good And Evil

Holy Bible God Makes
1,252 wordsHebrew and Greek attitudes toward killing are similar, but once religion is factored in a remarkable difference is revealed. Early Hebrew citizens were murderous people by nature, much like the Greeks, but had God looking down on them saying to them that killing was wrong. Greek citizens would engage in war and human sacrifices with the gods on their side, and even sometimes the gods would take part in the murdering. The Greek way of life was murderous due to their strong urge to be revengeful, ...

An analysis of this reoccurring theme will help to establish that God's intended system is a hierarchy in which there is an apportionment of "servants" and "masters, " with God having the final authority.

Oral Tradition Late Antiquity
2,076 wordsErroneous beliefs and preconceived ideas are a lock on the door of the human mind; they have proven to be very effective in keeping the truth at bay. In the past, the belief systems of most people were acquired directly from their parents as they grew up. Countless generations clung to their inherited beliefs with great tenacity, vigorously promoting them as bequeathed truth.

Existence Of God Book Of Genesis
1,561 wordsThe way Descartes chose to write this piece literature captivated me. Descartes was a very intelligent man who wanted to make sense of the world he lived in.
