Sacred Sex

I have heard that Satan has come from heaven but was never really sure. So for my research paper I asked where Satan came from and how he was created. Answers for this question are found in many places in the Bible. Satan was one of the highest angels until was overcome with pride. He was thrown out, and hell was created. Hell was first for Satan but was then opened for everyone when Adam and Eve sinned.

In Dante’s Inferno dante sees satan and see satan with three head and satan is trying to fly out of hell but his wing are making it where it is impossible to do so. Satan in the world now is known as the king of hell. Satan is different in this version of him. In our version he is the fallen angel from god and he looks like he has reds skin and has horns while the Dante version is like a big monster and is in his own prison and he is forced to eat so of the people that have went against god. In our version of satan he is cast of out heaven and rules the underworld and is the one that cause humans to be bad and make bad choices in life. In Dante version it seems that he is the one that is forced to have a punishment and pluto rules hades what

     The story I had read was the Devil and Daniel Webster it was written by Stephen Vincent Ben’et. This story is a lot alike most of his other stories discussing what it means to be an American.

Biblical sexual fulfillment is only achievable in the covenant of marriage, which is how God intends sexual fulfilment to be. In marriage sexual openness and fulfilment brings the two individuals that are united together into a deeper more intimate loving state. This deeper bond and intimacy that sexual fulfilment creates in this covenant of marriage between the two individuals also creates an understanding of the spiritual intimacy and closeness our Creator desires to have with us as individuals. Sexual fulfillment does not automatically occur in marriage between the two individuals that have united as one. They have to purposefully and intently strive towards obtaining this goal together to deepen and grow the marriage relationship. “The Gift of Sex: A Guide to Sexual Fulfillment” by Clifford and Joyce Penner provides the information and guidance to understand and obtain sexual fulfilment in marriage the way God created and intended sex to be enjoyed, a wonderful gift from God, while learning together how to overcome the stumbling blocks Satan places in your path.

The play "The Devil and Daniel Webster" was written by Stephen Vincent Benét in 1938. Stephen Vincent Benét was born in 1898 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. His education came from Yale University and the Sorbonne in Paris, France. "The Devil and Daniel Webster" has a wide array of characters, each with a distinguished personality, yet an overall temperment that would be fitting of a New England community. The main character is Jabez Stone, a wealthy New England statesman whose possition was the state senator of New Hampshire. He had started out as a farmer though, but moved up in life and, when he was about thirty years of age, married the fair woman, Mary Stone- who was in her early twenties.

In this story “The devil and Tom Walker” , the narrator tells a story he has heard about a local man's dealings with the devil, which being Tom Walker, and the devil. Tom Walker is a fellow that lives near a swamp not far from Boston Massachusetts. He lives with his wife, both in misery, always arguing, and possibly has domestic violence. I throw in domestic violence because quoted from the short story,” Her voice was often heard in wordy warfare with her husband; and his face sometimes showed signs that their conflicts were not confined to words.” basically he being the one to take the grunt of the relationship.

Sexual Purity: A Call to Holiness INTRODUCTION The world in which Christians live today is very similar to the world that Paul taught, lived, and traveled in. Christians are surrounded by and struggle with the issue of sexual purity that believers struggled with in Paul’s day. Sexual immorality is a result of a much larger problem: the refusal of God’s call to be holy. The pagan Gentiles during the New Testament had a skewed picture of moral issues, including sexuality. F. F. Bruce provides a unique look into Greek culture and morality when he quotes Demosthenes who lived during this time period: “We keep mistresses for pleasure, concubines for our day-today bodily needs, but we have wives to produce legitimate children and serve as

led the Israelites through the sea and wilderness to find rest and to make Him a glorious name. Yes, the Holy Spirit was active parting the waters, holding the waters back, giving rest, assurance, without fear as they went dry-shod through the sea. The LORD brought the waters together making mud paddies out of Pharaoh and his army as they became settlements at the bottom of the sea. He leads His people through the wilderness with a cloud by day and a fire by night and made God a glorious name. The battle is not over. There are multitudes of devils that plague God's people, but when they fight, He is there to lead them. See Isiah 63:14.

By analyzing what ancient rabbinic and early Christian texts depict about what it means for one to encompass in spiritual embodiment and purity, the asymmetry seen between men and women is depicted as men have a higher status compared to women. By taking in account the cultural norms seen within the ancient rabbinic and early Christian text, the perspectives on male homoeroticism by rabbis and virginity for Christian women are seen in contrast with each other. It is revealed within these texts that a woman renouncing sex and becoming more “manly” is more acceptable compared to the tension that arises with homoeroticism among men, who are portrayed becoming like a woman. This reoccurring idea that womanhood in these cultures and societies are deemed in a negative and inferior compared to manhood, which is

At this time, bisexual behavior came to be constructed as against nature, because nature itself was now seen as the creation of a single deity”

In Milton's Paradise Lost, he writes the story of the fall of Satan, his followers, and mankind. Many critics often view Satan as the unlikely or tragic hero of the epic poem. Satan is, obviously, the main character throughout most of the poem, but not necessarily the hero. Satan's main purpose is to fight G-d, and try to be on the same level as Him. The important thing is to realize that Satan is sin, and being humans, who are all born into sin, we can easily relate to a sinful character. G-d is holy and perfect. This is something which we, being fallible humans, cannot begin to comprehend. Satan does, at the beginning, follow many of the attributes which coincide with Aristotle's definition of a tragic hero; however, after the

One of the struggles that the Church has faced since its inception is its disintegration. Satan has tried since the origin of mankind to destroy what God has done. The first couple, falling under these attempts, gave the origin of the first human disobedience to God in Eden. After that, Satan’s intention is to discourage, and even kill, through its human agents to every leader chosen and called by God to serve Him. These provoked the terrible persecution and death of many God’s Judges, Prophets, and Kings, trying to destroy the people of Israel. However, God transformed the evil sought against his people in blessings, growth, and maturity.

John Milton’s Paradise Lost is an epic poem that describes the fall of Satan and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise. Satan is the protagonist of Paradise Lost and has several characteristics in which readers may identify with him. Throughout the poem, Satan is not only a tragic hero but also the key character that drives the plot and portrays many flawed human qualities. As an angel fallen from the high esteem of God and a possessor of hubris that leads to his downfall, he represents a tragic hero but also a character in which readers may identify with.

But what I wasn’t taught in Sunday School is that the Bible’s teachings on sex have been interpreted in many different ways. I didn’t know that the early Christians

Before man and woman were ever created, enormous monsters that stood over a few stories high with sharp teeth, enormous feet, and scaly skin roamed the Earth. There were also some who weren’t monsters at all. These creatures tried to keep to themselves and stay away from the monsters that could attack them. The monsters were simply called the Giant Devils and the ones who weren’t harmful were called the Peaceful Ones. No one knows how all of these creatures were put on the land. They were the first inhabitants of the earth. But only one group of them could stay.
