I love the passages of comfort because its telling you where you can look on the bible vesicle’s that will help you manage any situation you might be going thru at the moment. Not only sad or bad situations but happy and thankful emotions you might be experiencing at the time. Having God as our main priority in our life it’s a blessing because when we follow his path things will fall into place. At least for me that’s how it works.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 shows us how God is our comfort in the midst of suffering so that we can comfort others.
Before even going into the nature and uses of scripture, van Voorst begins by pointing out the vast number of variations between scriptures of different religions. He focuses on three distinct ways that scriptures can differ between religions: literary form, number, and function. He lists in a series of bullet points a few of the ways that scripture can vary in literary form, from what style the scripture is written to the rigidity of the moral codes presented in the scripture. For example, he states that the scriptures of the three Abrahamic faiths mostly relate historical narratives, while Eastern faiths have few, if any, narratives. The way certain moral precepts are conveyed through scriptures can also vary, from direct laws to loosely

When examined through a semi-technical lens, the Bible designates a significant amount of passage-space to the discussion of economic matters. Many of Jesus’ parables and the book of Proverbs seem heavily focused on such a topic. However, the Bible is far from a standard textbook that could be used in an economics class. The Bible does not go into detail explaining economic principles such as monetary and fiscal policies, aggregate supply and demand curves, inflation, etc. Instead, from a Christian perspective, the Bible acts as a framework for our actions, attitudes, and views surrounding wealth and the actions taken by ourselves and others, including national governments. One crucial aspect of economics that proves to be a significant motivating

In His love for mankind God tells us how to live successfully on this earth. In the Bible which can be correctly referred to as the handbook of life, He reveals to us the facts, the truth and the mysteries about life and living both spiritual and natural.

For example, there are amazing wonders of science that are revealed to us in the scriptures.
Point of View is an literary element that can change the perspective readers have on certain people and events in a novel. In A Separate Peace, Knowles tells his story from a first person narrative point of view. A Separate Peace is about a main character Gene and his best friend Finny who have a sort of friendly yet competitive relationship. Finny is lovable and pure, while Gene is competitive and jealous. Gene performs actions to FInny that jeopardize their relationship, and these action are the primary basis of the story, along with the theme of war that looms through the entire novel. As the novel progresses, the initial trust between reader and narrator gradually disintegrates as we realize that the main character Gene is evidently altering and suppressing information about himself and his desires. Gene is an unreliable narrator, and this impacts the story by shaping the plot, and shaping how the readers view our protagonist, and highlighting the theme of guilt, and the message that guilt is eternal.
Elkton Hills was because I was surrounded by phonies. That 's all”(Salinger 13). Although, Holden says people are just “phonies” this has an important meaning towards his personality by identifying him as a person that choices to be different. He does this by often lying to himself and others. For instance, Holden demonstrates, “I felt like praying or something, when I was in bed, but I couldn 't do it. I can’t always pray when I feel like it. In the first place, I’m sort of an atheist. I like Jesus and all, but I don’t care too much for the most of the other stuff in the Bible” (Salinger 99). According to Freud’s psychoanalytic theory he argues, “personality consist of three mental entities called id, ego, and superego” (Nevid 470).
5 For just as the sufferings of Christ are o ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ. 6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer; 7 and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that as you are sharers of our sufferings, so also you are sharers of our comfort

Boonstra (2011) identified that moderate rates of teenage pregnancy occur in Australia with 43.7 pregnancies per 1000 teenage girls. This is a significant contemporary issue as there are larger risks involved with teenage pregnancy including health, financial and social implications (Brinkman et al, 2016), creating larger socio-economic problems for young parents, their children and society (Zhou et al, 2016). To reduce the numbers of teenage pregnancy and raise awareness various sex education systems are placed to manage incidences of pregnancy.
Starting out, you have to compare the negatives of the Polis from Medea to the negatives of the “romanitas” from Ovid. There were many negatives that we saw and read about in the book of Medea. The main negative was the state power. Of the state power there was the Bureaucrats, Politicians and the Lawyers. These three groups of people had the entire control over what would happen in their society. Even though Medea was a very loyal woman to her husband Jason, she resented the state power and in turn Jason gave her up. Jason was very loyal to the state power of the elites. Both of them were very loyal, but loyal for two different causes. Here is a quote from Jason explaining why he came to
