    Gogol Good Vs Evil Essay

    • 948 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Swear by God "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain." The third commandment is not often followed and more important than it seems. To devout Christians, the importance of the name of God means that any use of God’s name that brings dishonor on Him or on His character is taking His name in vain.

    Miceale Jones RELG 103-001 Leviticus reads more like an instruction manual and at times a medical encyclopedia than a story or an historical account. There are five major topics cut into two main sections that are covered in this book and interestingly enough at the time of the emergence of the Jewish faith a lot of these laws were taken as their own. The book is set at Mt. Sinai and begins exactly one year after the Israelites’ departure from Egypt, exactly after the construction of Moses’s tent
