We began to take a seat as close to the rear as possible, when Mary Katherine pointed out that we were clearly on the women’s side of the temple. The other two male students and I realizing our lack observational skill turned around and exited back through the shoe room, and into the lobby. There I thought it would be best to stop in and inform the young man in the office (whose name has slipped

would be meager indeed to consider biblical music and not make mention of the Psalms. This will also give us a clearer picture of what function Levitical Musicians actually provided in corporate worship. The origin of the Psalter can be traced to Temple Worship, where its contents were used ‘not for private prayer, but for public performance’ (Wilson, 2002:23) Some Psalms provide specific contextual settings for worship activities and others explicitly point back to the Levitical choir singers who

When Edgar Allan Poe wrote “The Black Cat” in 1843, the word “paranoia” was not in existence. The mental illness of paranoia was not given its name until the twentieth century. What the narrator is suffering from would be called paranoia today. The definition of paranoia is psychosis marked by delusions and irrational decisions. This definition could best be described in the nineteenth century as being superstitious and believing that supernatural powers are affecting our decisions. Superstition

BETHLEHEM SEMINARY THE PRESENCE OF GOD SUBMITTED TO PROF. RICK SHENK IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THEO 6520: CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE 2: CHRIST, HOLY SPIRIT, AND REDEMPTION BY RYAN THOM DECEMBER 10, 2013 THE PRESENCE OF GOD God’s presence can mean a lot of different things to many different individuals.

blocks down from school to visit the Shri Lakshmi Narayan Mandir (Hindu Temple). On arrival, the first thing that was uniquely different from my own church is that all the members of the church had their shoes off and were walking around the temple floor barefoot. As for the appearance, I quickly noticed a great deal of decoration and gold colors, with shrines and pictures of various gods and other deities. In the corner of the temple was a circle of mini stone statues that each possessed a name of a

The revival of Christianity during the late Roman period was set into motion in 313 CE with the Edict of Milan, which legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire. Emperor Constantine helped move the revival along by ordering the construction of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, which started around 326 CE, and was completed in 335 CE. Throughout its existence, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher has been destroyed and reconstructed numerous times, which means that the current Church in Jerusalem is not

If you have ever been to Philly, you have probably passed it at one time—an old abandoned building, which at one time was the center of Philadelphia attention. I have travelled through Philadelphia many times and have passed this impressive Victorian style building. Despite its abandoned and rundown appearance, I have always said that this building had so much beauty and potential. The outside of the building has intricate arching and architecture, and has eye-catching brick and stone detailing

On November 18, 1978, followers of Jim Jones shot and killed United States Congressman Leo J. Ryan and four others traveling with him on a fact finding trip to Guyana. Ryan was there to investigate complaints about the community called "Jonestown," which was largely inhabited by his former California constituents. After murdering a United States congressman Jones knew the end of his rule was near. He ordered his entire following, some 914 people, to commit what he called "revolutionary suicide

God’s holy place, and this tent was located on the holy hill. The psalmist also asks in verse 1 who may go on the holy hill where the temple is located. It seems as though the psalmists would actually like to go to this holy place for themselves but is reserved about actually going because he knows that God has strict limitations as to who can actually enter the holy temple. The next part of the psalm directly answers the two questions asked in verse 1. In verse 2 the David gives a general answer of

horrid scene was taking place that would shock the world, and forever change the view of religion. Meant to be a paradise for the poor, the abused, the needy, and those wanting to change the world, Jonestown, founded by Jim Jones, leader of The Peoples Temple, was the location of a mass murder-suicide taking the lives of more than 900 people including countless children. “And, the way the children are, laying dead now, I'd rather see them lay like that than to see them have to die like the Jews did, which
