One Of The First John The Evangelist
1,191 wordsThroughout the human history there have been many saints who have lived among us. They followed Jesus principles and they did Gods will.

Mount Of Transfiguration Days' Of St Christ
1,076 wordsThe great confession of Peter, as the representative Apostle, had laid the foundations of the Church as such. In contradistinction to the varying opinions of even those best disposed towards Christ, it openly declared that Jesus was the Very Christ of God, the fulfillment of all Old Testament prophecy, the heir of Old Testament promise, the realization of the Old Testament hope for Israel, and, in Israel, for all mankind. Without this confession, Christians might have been a Jewish sect, a relig...

'to Pray ' Top Of Hermon Snow
1,149 words... Jesus took them apart up into that mountain. 'To pray, ' no doubt in connection with 'those sayings; 's ince their reception required quite as much the direct teaching of the Heavenly Father, as had the previous confession of Peter, of which it was, indeed, the complement, the other aspect, the twin height.

Moses And Elijah Heavenly Visitants Cloud
1,145 words... act, that, in quick reaction after the overpowering influence of the strongest emotions, drowsiness would creep over their limbs and senses.

Intentional Fraud Primitive Tradition History
1,089 words... a vision. But is the account true? It certainly represents primitive tradition, since it is not only told by all the three Evangelists, but referred to in 2 Peter i. 16 - 18, 34 and evidently implied in the words of St. John, both in his Gospel, 35 and in the opening of his First Epistle. Few, if any would be so bold as to assert that the whole of this history had been invented by the three Apostles, who professed to have been its witnesses. Nor can any adequate motive be imagined for its in...

Tragic Hero Audience Sees
1,174 wordsCreon as Antigone's Tragic Figure In Sophocles Antigone, Creon clearly fills the role of the tragic figure. He fits all seven of the traits of a tragic hero as defined by Northrop Frye.

Creon s decision to outlaw Polyneices s burial sets the stage for the tragedy that ensues. He regards Polyneices as an enemy of Thebes and sees no reason t...
