or also commence to anything else other than God’s own purposes. (P20) says God’s existence and his essence are on and the same, which the same attributes of God would better explain why God’s eternal essence at the same time of his existence, to be precise, that itself which starts God’s spirit at the same time institutes his presence. God is neither an existing thing nor an essence but a perfect combination of the two, acting upon either as it sees necessary/voluntarily. All the things which…

Equiano in Comparison to Johnathon Edwards Olaudah Equiano had published his narrative during the same time period as many prominent Puritans like Jonathon Edwards and Ann Bradstreet. However; his writing differs greatly from theirs. Equiano views God as shepherd rather than an omnipotent being waiting to condemn all of humanity to hell. Equiano writes a narrative detailing his journeys from salve to freeman while Edwards creates a religious sermon meant to scare the congregation into…

destruction we sometimes may seem to lose ourselves. After noticing how his friend Eliphaz responded, Job begins another argument. No longer cursing his existence, he now just wants all the pain to stop. He wants God to just leave him alone. Job wanted to know what could he have possibly done for God to use him as a target. When we are hit as hard as Job, like him, we begin to lose hope. “15. Where then is my hope? My hope—who can see it?” The second of the three friends, Bildad,…

The mythological allusions in The Inferno are announced in the poem as different gods try to help or harm people in…

and he does so throughout this story. At the beginning of the story, Ovid asks the gods, who are the ones causing the transformations, to inspire his work. All of this seems to be a ploy to comically provide the intro for what can be best described as chaos. Book I begins with the story of Daphne and Apollo. We see the first element of transformation with Cupid. Cupid is the naughty son of Venus, who possesses arrows that…

Ignored Antidote: Could this be what we need now? “Your life is a mess because God is mad at you!” What would you feel if you were straightly told that? And I wonder what the world leaders of today feel if they are told, “The world is a mess because God is not pleased!” This was the tone of the message that Rev. Jonathan Edwards conveyed in his sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” in July 8, 1741 at Enfield, Connecticut, USA . In this sermon, Rev. Edwards spoke dooming words of…
