Rel 1300 Essay

What I have learned in my HIST 1301 I take everywhere with me. My prior knowledge and what I have learned in this course has definitely made me look at things in a new perspective. Having little prior knowledge of History is because I was never really interested in learning anything about the past, but after taking this course it has really expanded my interest in it, because if it weren't for the past and the history about it, how would we know why things or how things have ended up the way they have? How would we know the history behind transportation, how and why America basically doubled through the Louisiana purchase and why things happened the way they did? Taking this course has really made me interested in all things history, I now

The Pantheon is an iconic part of architecture, particularly in the mediterranean. Constructed in Imperial Rome, the Pantheon was an incredible piece that forever influenced the basics of architecture. A similar piece, contemporary to the Pantheon, would be the Dome of the Rock. Found in Jerusalem, the Umayyad caliph built the shrine in the seventh century to serve a function as an Islamic shrine. Being the oldest extant Islamic monument known to man, the Dome of the Rock is sacred to both the Muslim and jewish religions.While being in completely different cultures, the Pantheon and the Dome of the Rock share numerous similarities varying from their functionality to the characteristic style of the domes.

He was first named Saul, but God had greater plans for him to be a leader to his people so a conversion took place. The conversion of Saul begins while he is on the road to Damascus, "suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him [and] he fell to the ground" (Acts 9:3–4), [the light was] "brighter than the sun" (Acts 26:13) and he was then blinded for three days (Acts 9:9). While he was blinded, he heard a voice in Hebrew which translates to "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads" (Acts 26:14–15). After this encounter, Saul’s blindness was cured by one of Jesus’ disciples, Ananias. His blindness was referred to as “something like scales” upon his eyes until he was then baptized. After Saul’s conversion to Christianity, he changed his identity to Paul because he was no longer a persecutor of Christianity named Saul. Saul was now was a believer and follower of Christ named Paul. He became a powerful leader in Acts. One that Christians should consider a role model because he led his people so powerfully and accomplished the future God wanted for him.

Scientists found a new plant that has this star that’s so hot that they disbelieve there could be any molecules living on this planet named “Kelt-9b”. The founders go to the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio the team tells us how this planet is three times bigger than Jupiter, and the star that lives as its next door neighbor is nearly twice as hot as our own sun. The planet moves around the sun like star every one and a half earth days one side of the planet is locked into a face to face with the star which makes the face of Kelt-9b be around 7,820 degrees Fahrenheit. For a long time scientists have been focused on finding small planets by cool stars because technology today it’s easier to study atmospheres of planets potentially find

Vernon McGee, Saul’s conversion to Paul, a believer in Christ, was not just an experience for that moment, but a life changing experience that continued for Paul’s lifetime. He now lives for Christ. His priorities and what he valued before Christ were no longer precious to him or foremost in his thinking. It was all trash now. It was dung and McGee goes further to say Paul does convert from Judaism to Christianity.

Western scholars of religion have attempted to define the term religion for a long time. Often times, these definitions are too narrow and are based on the individual’s own background and

It is known that his main priority was to arrest and be violent toward Gentiles. But Saul was ravaging the church by entering house after house; dragging off both men and women, he committed them to prison.’ Although he was seen as a calm and caring person, Saul’s life revolved around arresting and decreasing the number of the young Christian church all over Jerusalem. nothing however is more certain about Paul (or Saul) the zealous Pharisee than his intense disdain for and persecution of the earliest church, or assembly of believers in Jesus as Israel’s messiah. both acts and Pauls own attest to this grim reality. His reputation was such as to make his supposed change of heart suspect.’ It was on his way to Damascus to arrest and prosecute these gentiles that the conversion of God occurred. This is the primary part of Saul’s life in which the change that god worked in his life occurred. There are many factors which attributed to god in changing

Looking at me you may see a daughter, a mother or a Riverside Homecare nurse but there is much more if time is taken to really know me. I am a nurse with a vision and desire to partner with other healthcare professionals to offer optimal healthcare while staying true to myself, my nursing expertise and the mission of our health system. Participating in RELA would expose me to a skill set that wasn’t explored in nursing school. We were taught to be patient advocates and the nursing process. There was no lecture outlining a path from the patient bedside to the board of directors. I am looking forward to RELA providing a platform where I can collaborate with peers and learn new ideas because everyday problems rarely have a singular solution.

Located at the center of the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem, the place used to host the First and the Jewish Second Temples, the Dome of the Rock has received the honor of being recognized as “Jerusalem’s most recognizable landmark”, with its octagonal structure and the conspicuous gold-plated roof. Also seen as one of the oldest extant Islamic architectural work, the Dome was originally built to show the Christians that Islam could also have a great monument to rival the Dome of the Anastasis and thus the Muslims would not be dazzled by Christian churches and dome. (Armstrong 1997: 237). If we examine the Dome separately, the very structure in which the Rock, the mosaic decoration and inscriptions comprising the three main parts for understanding its importance, the Rock it encompasses is celebrated for its connection with God by Jewish and Muslim people and the mosaic decorations are considered to be linked with Solomon’s reign and his temple in Islamic context, in turn adding to the interrelatedness of the Dome. As a whole, the change in the Dome’s identity, particularly the shift in its religious meaning from a purely Islamic site, to the space that meant a lot for the Christian Crusaders, then back to an Islamic center, that corresponds perfectly with the Crusaders’ conquest on Muslims and the later triumph of the “jihad” illustrates that its importance also comes from its indication of the rises and falls of Islam and helps prove that it is kinetic as

The building is called the Dome of the Rock. The building was built under the leadership of Chaliph Abd El-Malik, and completed in 691 C.E. The Dome of the Rock is a Muslim shrine, which is build over a sacred stone, in which Muslims believe it is the place where the Prophet Mohammed ascended to Heaven. The Dome of the Rock is located in Jerusalem.

As mentioned before, the Israelites took over Canaan and Solomon built the great temple in Jerusalem. After this time period, the Jews had their temple destroyed; in 586 BC Judah was conquered by the Babylonians who destroyed the temple, but in 300 BC the Jews built another temple in place of the destroyed temple. The destruction of this temple was a major external conflict because the temple was built to unify the Hebrews. This affected them the most because destroying the temple symbolized destroying the Jewish religion. Another external conflict in the Jewish faith would be the Babylonian exile and the Jewish Diaspora. After Judah was conquered, the Babylonians moved most of the Jewish religions to Babylon; the Babylon Exile. The movement of Jews from their homeland is the Jewish Diaspora; beginning with the Babylonian exile and the destruction of Solomon’s temple. The Jews losing their homeland was important because it forced the Jews to develop their culture and faith outside of their homeland. The Babylon Exile and the Jewish Diaspora are external conflicts in the Jewish monotheistic religion because it showed the physical effects of religion; the symbolic temple being destroyed and rebuilt. The last external conflict would be in the Islamic religion. Muhammad, the leader of the Islamic faith, lived in Mecca with his uncle for several years after his parents passing, but when his uncle died he lost all his

Saul’s changes were unbelievable. He was such an evil killer three days ago. No one could imagine that three days later, he became a true believer of Jesus. Jesus purified his soul. This made him act like a savior. All the sins were washed away. He became a faithful follower in Jesus and God. The bible talked a lot about his faith after being healed.

Paul 's original name was Saul. Saul started out hating and persecuting Christians. Saul had a big conversion moment where he heard God talking to him and he was struck blind for three days. "Paul was on his way to Damascus when he had a vision that changed his life: according to Galatians 1:16, God revealed his Son to him. More specifically, Paul states that he saw the Lord (1 Corinthians 9:1), though Acts claims that near Damascus he saw a blinding bright light. Following this revelation, which convinced Paul that God had indeed chosen Jesus to be the promised messiah."("Saint") Paul then became a Christian and left his easy, comfortable life to become a preacher. Once Paul became a missionary he wanted to share the news of Christianity with everyone. "Paul’s great achievement was to take Christianity from Jerusalem throughout the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire and finally to the capital itself." (Johnson) Paul 's main goal was to spread the word that Christ is the Son of God. (Adcock)
