The God Day And Night

The introduction deals with the ideas of authority and perspective, and how they function properly in the process of Biblical interpretation. A key idea is that reading is a dialogue between the text and the reader. Both sides have a role to play. If we acknowledge this, then we must also acknowledge that the perspective of the reader has some significance in how the Bible is interpreted and exercises authority. This dialogical reading transcends the categories of ‘objective’ and ‘subjective’, and

Many authors use a specific style of writing that sets them apart from other authors. The author uses African American dialect to go with that time in the novel. The main character tries to find true love. During the process, she has many obstacles to hurdle over. She compares herself to a bee and flower and lives by nature. In the novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Zora Neale Hurston uses motifs to foreshadow events in the future.

The exact connotation of the title is up for discussion, although it touches upon many of the book’s important themes. There are two primary points in the novel that reference the title. Firstly, "The time was past for asking the white folks what to look for through that door. Six eyes were questioning God" (150). Shortly thereafter, a second significant sentence appears: "They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God" (151).

In (Revelation 12:3) Satan appeared as a 7 headed dragon that had a crown on every head. He became so jealous and full of pride that he threw a rebellion against God. Isaiah 14 says “ I will raise my throne above the stars of God.” (Isaiah 14 12-15 NIV). A war broke out in Heaven, Michael and his angles fought Satan (Revelation 12:7). This next verse proves that Satan is truly evil, It says “Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born.” (Revelation 12:4 NIV) That clearly shows that he wants nothing good for us and wants to destroy us. Hell was originally for Satan only, but in Genesis God gave us the choice to live in eternally in heaven or go to hell. The

cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory

When dwelling in sin the risk of losing eternal life is nevermore dire. Edward states, “The Devil stands ready to fall upon them, and seize them as his own” (432). This statement induces the expression that the demonic adversary anticipates the sinner's entrance to hell; he is lingering to clutch the sinner as his possession. This analysis brings to light, “Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) relies heavily on the use of repetition to impress upon his audience the urgency of redemption

Author, Reginald Bibby, has written three books to date, this will be the fourth and latest work published. From having seen Canada’s religious developments through a secular lens, several scholars thought for the most part reasons behind the decline were clear and obvious. This is not the case, and is what the author tries to show here. After one prominent scholar named Stark opened up new data to the author it gave him his new books idea: reality of religious polarization. Now everything is more clear and focused through this polarization lens. The book is then divided up into 9 chapters, all very informative, focusing on all aspects to those who are religious, aren’t religious, good news and bad news.

The topic of racism is a very intriguing one for me. Other authors criticized Zora Neal Hurtson that she, being a black woman during the black liberation movement in the 1910’s, should be writing about black people being set free and how they are being suppressed by the world around them. Instead, Zora mainly deals with the issues of the women being suppressed and not allowed to be free. This idea itself mirrors that of freeing black people, but yet authors of the time were not able to see that, they called her book artificial and did not help them in their quest for freedom.

To truly comprehend a biblical passage, it is important to have knowledge of the ‘hermeneutics which enables an understanding of the locus of meaning and the principles of bible interpretation’ . The audience needs to have a clear interpretation of the biblical passage which includes ‘content and unity of the whole of Scripture if the meaning of the sacred texts is to be correctly worked out’ , this supports the argument that all worlds of the text are equally important. ‘Biblical passages are often taken out of context and interpreted to support a particular viewpoint of justify a particular action’ . It is imperative to note that ‘in order to discover the sacred authors' intention, the reader must take into account the conditions of their

The modern world has many misconstrued ideas about Satan and his demons that are not in line with Jesus' teachings in Scripture. Today the world sees Satan in an almost comical way, if they believe in him at all. There is such a lack of belief in anything spiritually supernatural that the idea of demons is less acceptable to today's society than the idea of ghosts. In Jesus' time, this was not the case; people were well aware of Satan and his activities. Jesus often had to deal with things of this nature, and addressed the matter several times in Scripture. The difference between what Jesus had to say on the matter and what the world says today is monumental.

Satan's pride further constrains him. Because he is able to prove his freedom via dissent, and because he has ignored the fact that his free will comes from God, Satan thinks (or at least tells the angels before his own fall) that all heavenly beings including God are "Equally free" (5.792). Focused on his own freedom, Satan cannot understand that God has even more freedom than he. When confronted with the hegemonic power of the Son, then, Satan believes that "new Laws" have been imposed, that God has changed the rules (5.679-80). But this is not a new constraint; it is merely a new formulation of the Godhead.

In the Spiderman comics, Uncle Ben says to Spiderman,“With great power comes great responsibility”. Uncle Ben is letting Spiderman know that the power he has gives him a responsibility because with this power you can change lives in a heartbeat. Odysseus’ journey home in The Odyssey, is like Spider Man because he and gods can change everything in a moment. The gods intervening was a big part of the ups and downs of Odysseus’ journey home. In the painting Fisherman at Sea by J.W.M. The painting shows strong waves affected by a god, the massive waves shows the amount of power the gods have. Also, Geoffrey Philp, in his poem “The Cattle of the Sun God” shows a similar point of the power and what can happen if you do not listen to the gods. In Philp’s writing, the poem shows the power the gods have and can use. “The Cattle of the Sun God” is about Odysseus’ crew making a dumb decision and the gods acting as their own system of justice. Which like the claim is all about how the gods use their power. Overall all these examples show, the power the gods have can change anyone's life quickly.

so accusations are made. Once accused you have two choices: accuse others, or eventually be

Satan again reverses roles, portraying himself as good and God as evil. Many people fall for this lie. For example, many see Satan as noble liberator in the garden of Eden but judge God as a stingy jailer – instead of seeing God as providing an idyllic environment, while selfish man just had to have one more tree despite the abundant orchards! Man, imitating Satan, said "I will be like God" and rebelled against his benevolent Creator – a Creator Who in turn humbly took the form of a man to be crucified for the willful sins of His own creation so that a way of redemption could be open to all by simply trusting the Rescuer. To regard someone as 'evil' that dies on your behalf is the height of deception.

A short novel written by Haruki Murakami place a mysterious and unpredictable view between midnight and dawn that will symbolize the society of reality and human nature within the world, "a single gigantic creature-or more like a single collective entity created by many intertwining organism." (3). The night and dawn brings the characters to an emotional controversy that reveals their own human personality that will eventually cross paths and change their lives.
