Apollos At The Gospel Of Jesus

Throughout history, the Greeks are often credited with building the foundations upon which all western cultures are built. The Olympic Games, philosophy, and astronomy were the few that the Greeks invented. But one of the things the Greeks “created” that was significant in history was Hellenism (also known as Dodekatheism, Olympianism). This religion that the Ancient Greeks created played an important part in the development of Greece. Inside the religion, there were Gods and Goddesses that played different parts of the country. Among them was Apollo. Apollo was an important figure throughout the mythology of Greece, as the Greeks picture him a godly being that is watching down at them and protecting them in the times where they need the Gods.

Ehrman 's first argument delves into the history of so-called 'divine beings ', particularly in ancient Greece and Rome, to help his argument, as he claims that Jesus was not the first, and certainly not the only, divine being in history, saying that "We should not think of Jesus as 'unique ', if by that term we mean that he was the only one 'like that '-that is.....a man who was also in some sense divine" (Ehrman 17). Ehrman 's first example is Apollonius, a man whose story is very similar to Jesus. According to Ehrman, the birth of Apollonius came with divine signs from the heavens, and as an adult, he left home, traveling and preaching, collecting followers and performing miracles, and leading his followers to believe that he was the Son of God. Later, like Jesus, he too angered the Roman authorities and was put to death, though he allegedly ascended to heaven afterwards. However, the principal difference between Apollonius and Jesus was that Apollonius was a pagan, a worshiper of multiple Roman gods, who was seen by some as a competitor of Jesus, though historically, Jesus and his followers rose victorious, due to the spread of Christianity, and Apollonius remains all but forgotten to today 's society. However, it wasn 't just holy men who could come to be revered as divine, according to Ehrman, as he moves on to talk about how Roman emperors were often revered as gods. For instance, Julius Caesar declared that he had a divine heritage, "In a funeral oration

In interpretation of Mark’s gospels it is important to take into account various elements of historical, theological, and literary context. Mark sets out to appeal to his audience by conveying messages that the audience can relate to. Mark 6: 30-44 is an example of a miracle story with a message that can impact many. There seems to be direct correlation among other gospels and stories throughout the Old and New Testament (NRSV, 1989).

Apollo is a major Greek god, who is a son of Zeus. His father is the king of the gods, which makes Apollo important. Along with that he has a twin goddess, Artemis, whom is the goddess of the hunt. But, Apollo is a young, mature, male beauty, and someone who embodiment of moral excellence. Golden-haired Apollo also started to represent physical perfection.Attributes that Apollo had were light, music, art, poetry, reason, medicine, and beauty. Having the name Phoebus Apollo he became the god of light and of the sun. He also had a development of civilization, such as philosophy, laws, morals, and religion principles. Therefore, the only god or goddess that was more widely worshipped then Apollo was Zeus.While Apollos mother was in labor she first

The church at Corinth clearly suffered from internal tensions. 1Cor 1-4 reflects the problem of factionalism, where Paul identifies separate parties that claim alternate allegiances to him, Apollos (a Jewish Christian preacher), Peter (one of Jesus’ disciples), or Christ (according to their own understanding, not Paul’s). These parties may represent splits within the church leadership. A particularly divisive issue was food offered to idols. Some believed that they had “liberty” to eat whatever and wherever they wanted, while others considered eating food that had been sacrificed to idols sinful and dangerous.

Kim Jong-Un took his father’s place as North Korean dictator after Jong-Il’s fatal heart attack. Joseph Stalin rose to power in 1924 when Lenin died. By his way of outsmarting his rivals, he became the dictator of the Soviet Union. Napoleon came to power after driving the former leader, Snowball, off Animal Farm. In the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell, farm animals get rid of their farmer, Jones, and become their own government.

Before we begin our series on the Gospel according to Luke, let us have a look at what this gospel focuses on and what makes it unique compared to the other three gospels.

In antiquity, when many Jews would convert into Christianity, the Gospel of Matthew was written. As the first book to start the New Testament, the Gospel of Matthew uses a different style as it was written with the perspective from a Jew. Matthew uses this unique perspective on Jesus as a chance to tell the story of who Jesus is and why he is important. In doing so, Matthew’s biography of Jesus convincingly presents Jesus as the promised Messiah, the Son of God. The Gospel of Matthew is consistent in both the theme and the perspective of Jesus as the divine deliverer, appointed by God the father. Indeed, Matthew validates that Jesus is the Christ; the prophesied Savior.

The first three Gospels were Matthew, Mark, and Luke and considering they were so similar the scholars called them Synoptic Gospels. They were the same stories and often similar sequence and in similar wording. The Synoptic Gospel is in contrast to John and can present the Jesus story from the same point of view. Or as they stated it can be read together, “with one eye.”

When you first open the New Testament, the four canonical gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, are placed first. These gospels have been accepted as the synoptic history of Jesus’ birth, life, death, and resurrection-- and traditionally regarded as a reliable biography on Jesus by most Christians. However, when we take a closer look at the synoptic gospels and the conflicting (and similar) narratives, we begin to see that these gospels may not be the accurate and reliable source of historicity that many of us have been taught to believe in bible study. Taking a small section of verses from Matthew, Mark, and Luke regarding the healing of the blind man/men near Jericho, we will be able to dissect the material from each gospel appropriately--

Dionysus, on the other hand, invents the timbrel, it is a drum beaten to furious, erratic rhythms that express his compulsive nature. Apollo retains abstract intellect, he is an educator of young men, and promotes logical and rational thought. Dionysus desires irrational power, he liberates humans to explore there potential for emotional and behavioral extremes, he allows his unconscious to flourish, and he is embodied by spontaneous emotion. Greek tradition said that each year Apollo left his sanctuary at Delphi to live with the Hyperboreans, a mythical tribe inhabiting the extreme north. When he did that, Dionysus reigned in Delphi for the 3 winter months. During these months a noticeable change would come over people. Spontaneity came over everyone, and the concept of rational thought would be lost until Apollo's return. Obviously Dionysus was much more liberal when compared to Apollo.

A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to monitor physical or environmental conditions and to cooperatively pass their data through the network to a main location.

Food preservatives are described as natural means or man-made chemicals that are used in foods to prevent them from spoiling. A subgroup of preservatives are food additives, which differ from preservatives in the way that additives are not only used to lengthen the life of food, but also to improve taste and appearance. The ultimate goal of preservatives and additives are to improve the quality and lifespan of food by slowing down the decomposition process using chemicals or natural methods, such as salt and dehydration.
