The First Oration, A Presentation Discourse Against The Eunomians

As we look at the writings of both St. Gregory and Gordon Fee, we see both similarities and differences. While Fee places more emphasis on the Holy Spirit in connection with Paul’s ministry, St. Gregory uses his eloquence to specifically defend the concept of the Holy Spirit

“While it is true that we have no right to force out personal opinions on others, we do have a responsibility to encourage fellow believers to be faithful to God’s truths, which are presented in Scripture.”

Michael J. Himes, in his book Doing the Truth in Love, describes theology as a way of “talking about God.” Talking about God brings many questions to mind: how do people talk about God when God is a mystery? How do people converse about what they do not know for sure? Many may think theology is inherited and even theologians talk about what they have learned from doctrines and the history they have been taught. Even though theologians know very little about God aside from what they studied, they still know it is important to talk about God. As Himes states, “God is simply too important to us not to talk about.” Although theologians are still figuring out the mysteries of God, they attempt to put forth their opinions and ideas about God in order to inspire people to find their own theology.

Response: “Alan Potter (2014) wrote that John MacArthur warned us that if we lose the biblical foundation while preaching this will lead to the decline of preaching which will contribute to the weakness and worldliness of the church, so for a church to be spiritual healthy, preaching should return to its proper biblical foundation (https://www.linkedin.com). Paul told Timothy that by preaching the Scripture, man and women could be wise for salvation (2 Tim. 3:15 NKJV). They learn the way of salvation through the Bible which the Holy Spirit taught the preacher to use, they should not use their own words dictated by man’s wisdom (1 Corinth. 2: 13

Here, Origen is implying that Gregory should the natural intelligence “the entire natural intelligence of Gregory’ intelligence should be applied to Christianity”. Origen tries to reconcile Philosophy and Theology but above all “placing Theology in a superior position as he gives all the priority to Christianity” throughout his letter. The quote from Adolf Knauber coincides with the reason for Origen’ cautioning and passionate pleading with Gregory when he implies: “that he should extract from philosophy only what is essential, to have a better understanding to interpret Scripture”. “Working from the data provided by Gregory in the Address, Adolf Knauber arrived at the significantly different picture: the students were not Christians or even

In the 1770’s, tensions between the colonies and Britain had been quickly escalating. Colonies like Massachusetts declared to be in a state of rebellion towards Britain. On March 23, 1775 in Virginia, a meeting of the colony’s delegates was held in St. John’s church in Richmond to decide if they should rebel against Britain as well. Patrick Henry presented resolutions to the meeting and delivered a speech in favor of his resolutions. “Speech to the Second Virginia Convention” by Patrick Henry uses diction and imagery to create a patriotic tone.

On Saint Julian’s evening, before the Crakers inadvertently release the dangerous Painballers back into the world, Toby prepares soup and feeds the group. Toby, in a third-person narration voice, simultaneously describes the scene distantly and intimately. There is a stark disparity between the fairytale-like quality of the scene, and its grim reality (and devastating conclusion). Toby reflects on how she acted as a (fairy) godmother of sorts, the one who brings together a band of odd companions but transforms them through nobility and kindness to share a meal around a roaring hearth. The idyllic imagery is of course disrupted by the reality of a catatonic, raped and traumatized Amanda, a dying hallucinating Jimmy, and the villainous Painballers.

“Hell is going for them...”(92). This means that one is only jeopardizing themselves because they put themselves in that position. Notwithstanding the fact that “The Minister’s Black Veil” takes control and buckles down on the fact that not everyone is as they seem, because most people all have a hidden secret. “I look around and lo!” “on every visage is a black veil.” To conclude all of that one would say that the texts just have different outlooks on how to go about the sermon.

In the article, “Why Theological Study Is for Everyone” by Jared Wilson, he starts the article by saying “Every Christian must be a theologian” . I for one couldn’t agree more with Mr. Wilson on this fact due to the fact that it is my belief that every Christian should understand and appreciate how important theological study of God is for his people. Like in the article, I’m not referring to going to a academic university, or telling everyone they must know every verse and book front to back; what I am actually referring to is simply the studying of God’s infallible Word.

In this paper, I am going to share my ideas of theology. I believe that one of the biggest mistakes I made in the past was that I was afraid of being rejected, so I wrote a theology paper and tried to give the previous COM what I thought they wanted to hear instead of what was truly inside of me. Fortunately for me, even though I was not given a green light in order to see the Eccleastical Council, I was licensed to preach and this gave me time

“Holiness requires as great an effort; but holiness works on lines that were natural once” (137). People have set ethical limitations and have imposed them on their selves as well as the public, this line displays the person’s ethical quality. To gain ultimate knowledge or experience, to take the position of the ultimate being is when the public will view your actions as evil or sinful, such as taking a human life. Ambrose states that, “sin is an effort to gain the ecstasy and the knowledge that pertain alone to angels and in making this effort man becomes a

The myth of Eurydice is a sad story in which two lovers are separated by death. After his love dies, Orpheus journeys into the underworld to retrieve her, but instead loses her for good. Playwright Sarah Ruhl takes the myth of Eurydice and attempts to transform this sad tale into a more light-hearted story. However, despite humorous lines and actions throughout the play, the melancholy situation of the actual tale overwhelms any comicality present. Although meant to be funny, Sarah Ruhl's “Eurydice” can be seen as a modernized tragedy about two lovers who are separated forever by a twist of fate.

The main issue with this calling is application and contextualizing through sound doctrine in such a way that it also expresses the mercy and love of Christ. Though when people's traditions that to lead false teachings or understandings of scriptures are challenged resistance is natural.

The Wife of Bath is a wealthy and elegant woman with extravagant, brand new clothing. She is from Bath, a key English cloth-making town in the Middle Ages, making her a talented seam stress. Before the wife begins her tale, she informs the audience about her life and personal experience on marriage, in a lengthy prologue. The Wife of Bath initiates her prologue by declaring that she has had five husbands, giving her enough experience to make her an expert on marriage. Numerous people have criticized her for having had many husbands, but she does not see anything immoral about it. Most people established negative views on her marriages, based on the interpretation of what Christ meant when he told a Samaritan woman that her fifth husband

The next characteristic in which he had created us in is holiness. Holy means “to separate or to cut off.” or (Towns 68-69) God is holy which means that he is separated from sin and cannot be sinful. Like himself, God has made us to have the ability to separate ourselves from sin and separation onto God. In the church as Christians we can use this attribute to help lead those to Christ. Holiness encompasses all of what is needed for some to receive salvation in the first place. As humans we will never be born holy, however with those we meet in the secular world, we can teach them that the ultimate goal is to reach salvation with God but also to become holy in God’s vision. The secular world is not concerned about being holy but instead more material things, however being made in God’s image, we as Christians see the importance of holiness and can be able to preach its importance for generations to come.
