Justification By Faith Sinful Nature
1,302 words... comments so far would be agreeable to a person who advocated that both physical and spiritual circumcision were necessary. But Paul's next comment would be too sweeping: A man is one of God's people if he is inwardly circumcised, since the real circumcision is a spiritual matter, of the heart, "not by the written code'' (verse 29). What value is there in being circumcised? Or, in synonymous terms, what advantage is there in being a Jew? Much, replies Paul (Romans 3: 1 - 2). He does not extol...

Asia Minor Three Days
1,520 wordsThe life of the Apostle Paul is a very long and complex story. Through much research and thought of an approach, I have found the best way to give an account is to actually recount the life that he led.

In my view, his life consists of four parts: his life before the conversion, the actual conversion, his life through the three renowned missionary journeys, and the testimony he gives throughout. The letters he ...

Moral Values Race Religion
670 wordsAt a moments thought we might say yes yes it is a caring society and yes I do love my neighbour. Who does your neighbour include? It is very easy to love our respectable neighbours, but do we have the same capacity of love for our underprivileged and not so well off neighbours?

Forced To Live Oscar Schindler
1,009 wordsAll throughout history, the Jewish people have been unjustly persecuted. Anti-Semitism has existed as long as the Jewish people have. Even in ancient times, the Jews were persecuted mainly because of their religious beliefs. Jews claim that they are Gods Chosen People and this has led to misunderstanding between Jews and Gentiles (non-Jewish people). Some gentiles believe that this claim meant Jews felt they were better than other people, thus fostering hatred. Others were wary of the Jews becau...
