- 351: Philosophy - Hume
- ... from the New American Bible and to show how Hume would view these miracles. The stories are of Noah’s Ark and The Burning Bush. The story of Noah’s Ark took place when the Lord began to realize how great mans wickedness on earth had become. He began to regret the fact that he had created man on earth. The lord decided the only way to rid the wickedness would be to destroy all men, and all living creatures living on the earth.

- 352: David and Goliath
- ... Israelites from Goliath's evils. David mentions that Goliath had defied the armies of the living God, and for that he would be punished. David's strength, it seems, dwelled in "the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel" (1 Samuel 17:45). However, Goliath was dependent on the power of weapons, and was sure that a sword and spear would win the battle. It's difficult to say what this meant to the Hebrews, but I interpreted it as symbolizing that the superiority and strength of their Lord was stronger than was any weapon. I gathered this, since one of the statements mentioned in 1 Samuel was: "the Lord does not save by sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord's and he will give you into our hand" (17:47). Since the Lord's followers were the Israelites, the Lord ...

- 354: John the Baptist
- ... rarely mentioned in our Christian teachings or in the Bible (Greenhough 71). Gabriel foretold John's birth in Luke's gospel. His parents were godly people, Aupright in the sight of God, observing all the Lord=s commandments and regulations blamelessly@ (Luke 1:6 NIV). Zechariah and Elizabeth were both from the line of Aaron and Zechariah was a priest. For fifty years Zechariah had lived for the Temple.

- ... comes close to him, he thumps it away. The Hall team play with a sense of decorum, they play the correct strokes and look great. An example of this is shown in the innings of Lord Trimingham.

This is ironic because Leo s catch ruins Ted s chance to make a big impact on ... that the villagers don t look correct wearing suits, but the members from the hall look normal wearing their posh suits. The more clothes he (Ted) put on, the less he looked like himself. Whereas Lord Trimingham's clothes always seemed to be a part of him. Ted s fine feathers made him look a yokel. (Page 131) Marcus thinks the villagers smell, simply because they are in a lower ...
- 356: Martin Luther
- ... From his view of baptism, he was not a second baptism, and no vow should ever be taken beyond the baptismal vow. Most serious of all was Luther's reduction of the mass to the Lord's Supper. The mass is central for the entire Roman Catholic system because the mass is believed to be a repetition of the Incarnation and the Crucifixion. When the bread and wine are transubstantiated, God ... but as to the need for faith diminished the role of the priests who may place awafer in the mouth but cannot engender faith in the heart" (Bainton 107). For Luther, the Holy Eucharist of Lord's supper was really a symbolic act rather than an actual instance of transubstantiation in which the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Christ. That was a magical aspect to this ... soul. Therefore, the most a Christian can do is to have faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior. This is basically what a Christian is. Because Christianity has only two real sacraments (baptism and the Lord's Supper), it is necessary for a person to partake of both in order to actually be a Christian. Certainly, a heathen or pagan can go around doing good works, but this means nothing ...

- 358: Sir Gawain And The Green Knight: Stanza 74
- ... Sir Gawain and explains to him that the wearer of this corset "cannot be killed by any cunning on earth." Sir Gawain, amidst an ethical dilemma, accepts the gift and chooses to conceal it from Lord Bertilak. This passage contains three of the main themes of the story – the inner and outer conflicts between Sir Gawain’s ethics and desire to live, and the test of religion. When Sir Gawain is offered the girdle, his knightly principles are questioned. The honorable thing would be to reject the offer or bring it to the lord of the castle, but Gawain places the preservation of his life ahead of chivalry.

Students response Hudson is an example to me, in that He showed an extreme amount of faith in forsaking all to follow the Lords plan and will for his life and those in China. Hudson depended on the Lord for everything. This teaches me to do the same. Hudson was a man of little wants or need for material possessions for comfort or pleasure. Hudson obeyed God in Gods plan for Hudson to go to China, this obedience brought protection and peace and joy from the Lord., in all situations. Hudson s faith was that of such strength that he depended on the Lord for food for the very next day and so on. Hudson was a man of self-control, ...
