Original sin

A sacred tree is all it takes to introduce sin to the pure. “the Lord God commanded the man, ‘You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.’” Why would god and the other believers allow these people to commit these forbidden sins? However, who could resist the temptation of knowledge and the desire for something you can’t have. Women play an immense role in both stories, for…

From the beginning of time, as seen in Christianity, sin has plagued the earth. From eve taking of the forbidden fruit and being cast from paradise to someone robbing an elderly woman down the street, sin is always present. The consequences of sin should have taught us to avoid it at all costs, yet we still fall victim to it. Sin is never the solution yet it is almost always the inevitable answer. Every person sins, and in turn they are judged and besieged with consequences. Never was this more…

to them in Eden. After eating from the Tree of Knowledge, they begin to doubt the fullness and truth of God’s creations. The fall of Adam and Eve proves that perception is a result of our experiences as God’s creations appear less perfect after sin enters the world. After the Fall, darkness is seen as gloomy and negative, not as a source of happiness and celebration. God plans for Adam and Eve to accept and enjoy the darkness, as there was only darkness before light and God was satisfied.…

The King James Bible and the York pageant ‘The Fall of Man’ differ in many ways in their presentation of the events surrounding Adam and Eve’s banishment from the Garden of Eden. In particular, there is a big difference in the level of detail, and the treatment of Eve with regards to her responsibility for the banishment. In this essay I intend to compare and contrast the accounts of the fall given in the bible and the play text, and consider how they portray Eve and her behaviour. In particular…

The notion that landscapes have the power to stimulate contemplation about human nature is clearly articulated in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. Through subverting traditional adventure tropes from Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe to Ballantyne’s The Coral Island, Golding posits through his dystopian novel that landscapes, rather than delivering a sense of the sublime, provokes us to question our human condition and ultimately elucidate “traits that define humanity” (Orslen) – spite, insecurity,…

If I close my eyes and doubt that everything exists, all I can hear is the heater running in the room I’m in. I don’t really smell or taste anything. I would have to agree with Descartes in that I must exist because I am thinking. I must have a brain or I wouldn’t be able to think, so I am alive and a thinking thing. If I couldn’t think, then I wouldn’t be living. I know I have a body because I can move my extremities. I believe with certainty that I am alive and capable of thought and have a…

God gives us ethics and morality. What is the cause of evil and suffering? The cause of evil and suffering is sin. What happens to man at death? Man go to heaven after they die. What is the meaning of history? The meaning of history is to show God's power. God is all-powerful with no beginning and no end. God is a person with every power that there is. He is perfect in every way and never sins. God is Holy and everlasting and personal. “Since it is written, you shall be holy for, I am holy.”…

I will be analyzing how the phrase of “Of MAN’S first disobedience, and the fruit of that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste... (Milton 1-4)” Is about Milton’s view of humanity exercising free will. We can see this in that how Milton begins the beginning of this paragraph by stating “Of man’s first disobedience…” this phrase shows us how humanity chose to do something they were not supposed to which an exercise of free will is clearly. Milton then goes on to state “Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst…

Representatio, both Abraham and Adam are effective in their own ways, equally effective but very different. Adam does a great job at filling in the blanks of the Garden of Eden and beyond, but Abraham is a great ‘Aesop’s Fable’ of sorts about coming back from sin. The dialogue in Abraham is old-fashioned, and, especially in the first act, focuses especially on God. It can also be incredibly dramatic at times: ABRAHAM (Rocking with Panic). I have suffered an evil beyond any other. I have been…
