Elijah Baley

case, when Baley mentions to him cities will fail if they grow bigger, responds by saying “[w]hen [a solution]’s necessary, it’ll be done” (Asimov 185), but directly opposes any solution involving changes in his way of life, such as the introduction of robots into society. Robots, like all technology in Asimov’s novels, are an indicator of people’s ignorance. Robots are controlled by their cohesion to the Three Laws of Robotics--absolute rules that govern how robots act; however, as Mark Halpern points out, the laws are abstract and difficult to apply from the reader’s viewpoint to “generate moral and intellectual problems--in fact, human problems.” (Halpern 5) Consequently, the abstraction of the Three Laws leads to ignorance in characters like Norris, who fail to understand how to utilize the laws to control robots and let prejudices prevent themselves from seeing past their own ignorance; however, conversely Norris’ sentiment that humans will one day become obsolete to robots is foreshadowed as a possible future reality when robot Daneel Olivaw says “[g]o and sin no more” (Asimov 270). The ignorant characters are not against the advancement of knowledge, but they employ the advancement of knowledge as a means of resisting change instead of creating progress. Linge Chen allows for Santon’s encyclopedia project to continue in an abandoned world to dismiss a problem civilization faces instead of allowing drastic change on Trantor in order to save the failing world.

In understanding Baal-zebub in 2 Kgs 1:2, we begin with Ahaziah falling through a lattice and inquiring of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron. It should be no surprise as a worshipper of Baal, determined to walk in the evil ways of his father and of his mother (1 Kings 22:52), Ahaziah would obviously make inquiries of all forms of the Baal divinity. Why he would chose "Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is said that possibly that Baal the oldest ancient sites of the Baal-worshiping temple. Baal-zebub is "the…

The third item to notice about Micaiah is his response (22:15-28). After Micaiah swears to only speak what the Lord speaks, Ahab asks him whether or not the Lord supports his plan against Ramoth Gilead. Micaiah initially replies in the same way as the other prophets, but Ahab is skeptical (22:15). As we mentioned earlier, Ahab’s skepticism stemmed from Micaiah’s reputation. Because of this, he sarcastically asks Micaiah how many times he must make Micaiah swear to tell nothing but the truth…

different churches. Each church has its own set of practices. One church upholds the practices of the early Apostolic Church. The other church upholds the practices of a preservation society. On one hand, the Apostolic Church never changes its position on right practice (though some of its practices continually change). Preservation societies, on the other hand, continually shift their Orthopraxis to accommodate the congregational sensitivity. Jeremiah 's cracked cistern symbolizes the…

Ahab disregarded this and went to war disguised as a commoner. An arrow was shot between his armour, he died later that evening and his body was returned to Samaria where he was buried. His blood stained chariot was washed by the pool in Samaria and dogs licked his blood as prophesied by the prophet Elijah. “38 They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; the dogs licked up his blood, and the prostitutes washed themselves in it, according to the word of the Lord that he had spoken.” i…

Old Testament, we see great prophets emerge during times of great injustice. Among these great prophets is Elijah, an Israelite and worshiper of God under during the reign of Ahab and his murderous, idolatrous wife Jezebel. Ahab himself let his uncertainty and fear drive his passivity, which, even more so, gave way to Jezebel’s evil desires. As Ahab & Jezebel ruled, a severe famine and drought spread across Samaria. According to scholars, this devastation in Samaria lasted anywhere from two…

In 1 Kings 17:1-16, the reader is encountering the prophet Elijah, the Tishbite of Tishbe in Gilead, for the very first time. Ahab’s reign to King took place in 1 Kings 16, in which he is judged for provoking the anger of God more so than all of his predecessors had done. During 1 Kings 17, we see Elijah announcing to Ahab the coming of a drought that will end on his say-so only. The drama ultimately unfolds itself and runs through the end of chapter 18, which concerns itself with the…
