games. In actuality, the opposite effect has been repeatedly found in empirical studies. For example, Douglas Gentile found in a meta-analytic review that people tend to become more aggressive after playing a violent video game rather than less aggressive (Gentile, 2013). This finding disproves the catharsis hypothesis in terms of venting anger through violence in video games. Douglas Gentile states, “Learning is not hindered by doing something one more time- it is improved,”

Emerging from the depths, Christianity began as a small sect contained within Judaism, but throughout the next 300 years the small sect grew to be the religion of the Roman Empire. Surviving a turbulent political climate, Christianity took root and could not be eradicated. Many things influenced Christianity, such as: Hellenistic thought, conflict with Judaism, and trying to stay relevant within the Rome Empire. Though Christianity began as a small sect, absorbing certain aspects of culture allowed

Amillennialism Amillenianism literally means no millennium. This name stems from the disbelief that there will be a literal thousand year period called the golden age, either before or after the return of Christ (Gregg 459). This view unlike the others, is not a new concept, even though the name is new. In fact, R.B. Strimple claims this particular view has been around as long as Christianity

Old earth, or progressive creationism shares similarities with theistic evolution in that it places the age of the earth at 4-5 billion years ago and the universe at 10-20 billion years ago. However, they are not satisfied with the claim that God-guided evolution brought the world into existence, eventually arriving at the world we live in today. Robert C. Newman, an astrophysicist and New Testament professor acknowledges that it would be possible for God to use evolution as a creation tool, just

Another position is old earth, or progressive creationism, which does share some similarities with theistic evolution - primarily, that it places the age of the earth at 4-5 billion years ago and the universe at 10-20 billion years ago. However, old earth creationists are not satisfied with the claim that God-guided evolution brought the world into existence, eventually arriving at the world we live in today. Robert C.

lived near Palestine felt this conflict and since Caesarea Maritima is near there this conflict would make sense for a Gospel written in such a location. Though it is highly unlikely that the Gospel was written there since the population was mostly gentile. This is because during the Jewish war most Jews that lived in Caesarea Maritima were either killed or left because they felt threatened. The next possibility as to where the Gospel was written is somewhere in Syria, outside of Antioch, since this

In the New testament the tenth chapter that was written to the Romans was authored by Apostle Paul. Apostle Paul, otherwise known as Saint Paul was a teacher of the gospel. Alongside Christ, in the bible, Apostle Paul was one of the most significant key figures in biblical history. During apostle Paul’s first years of ministry he never actually met Jesus Christ. Which is what makes it extremely interesting how Paul ended up being one of the most important biblical figures in biblical history. Paul

The authorship of Luke was known for his Christian writings. He was born as a Gentile by birth and was educated in the Greek culture. His profession was a physician. His hometown was thought to have been in either Antioch (Syria) or that of Philippi. His style of writing was of Greek language as well as his vocabulary. All the gospels were “written between 70 -110 CE.” During this time while writing the book of Luke see that is was around “the time of the Roman Empire.” “According to the Gospels

Since several video games contain some sort of violent content, it has been hypothesized that gamers nowadays tend to be more aggressive. Gentile also states that “playing violent games increases aggressive behaviors, increases aggressive cognitions, [and] increases aggressive emotions.” This is an intense list of negative consequences, but what makes violent games instill such hostility?
