Cloaking Event Involving The Apostle Peter Analysis
The Bible describes a possible “cloaking” event involving the apostle Peter. An Angel rescued Peter from prison, and during the rescue, the jailers were unable to see Peter or the Angel as they walked out of the prison. Note they walked by both the first and the second “ward”, and then through the iron gate without the guards seeing them.

Acts 12:10: When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.

In March of 2012, I captured something that appeared to be “cloaked” on my back trail camera. The subject follows me and actually moves vegetation, though

    With Great Britain, there was a greater opportunity for trade.

    When interested in the religious culture of medieval Europe in late antiquity, “The Cult of Saints” by Peter Brown is a magnificent source to turn to. Among receiving honorary degrees, prizes and book awards, Brown is also a historian at Princeton University who focuses on social and religious aspects of medieval Europe. Brown critically analysis the significance of saints and their holy remains to the people of Europe following the fall of the Roman Empire. These sacred figures in Christianity heavily influenced many aspects of society. His writing style is dense and one may encounter a few words in Latin throughout the book. However, the book is supported with a range of sources from the bible to other authors themselves which can be found at the notes section at the very back of the book. Brown highlights his intentions for the book in his updated, Preface to the 2014 Edition, here he includes the title of each chapter and gives a brief overview of what to expect in them. In reviewing Peter Brown's work, he exemplifies the role of the cult of Saints and relics and their contribution to development of medieval Europe among other concepts; while thriving in addressing modern ideas such as the “two-tiered” model that commonly misrepresents the true nature of the cult of saints.…

    Mark’s passage titled “Peter’s Confession about Jesus” portrays a message that teaches us that the people whom you are closest with, such as your friends and family members, are the only ones who truly know you enough to judge what type of person you are. Peter considered Jesus to be the Messiah, yet those who didn’t know Jesus on a personal level only thought of him as being something similar to a prophet. After Jesus asked what people said of him, his disciples replied “John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others one of the prophets.” This passage shows us the different perspectives of how people may judge you based off of how well they truly know the real you. In the second passage, “The First Prediction of the Passion”, we are shown how important it truly is to never put anyone else’s will before God’s will. God is the one who determines how the journey of our life will play out, and we should never questions his intentions or decisions, as Peter does in this story before Jesus tells him that he is “thinking not as God does.” The third passage, titled “The Conditions of Discipleship”, teaches us that in order to be a true follower of Jesus, we have to be…

    Analysis of Saint Judas

    Saint Judas was written by James Wright at the end of the 60s. Considering the format this poem can be regarded as a traditional Petrarchan sonnet with a rhyme of ababcdcdefgefg; however, the content of this poem and the way it was written is different. In this poem James Wright tried to mix the dramatic monologue with the Petrarchan sonnet, which is usually written in poet’s tone. Instead in this poem, the speaker is Judas: this enables the revealing of his thoughts and actions directly to the reader, so as to enhance his temperament and character.…

    Jesus has a great love for his people and wants to bring them to him so that they could go with him to heaven. Throughout his lifetime, Jesus performed many miracles. Even John wrote that there had been so many miracles that no book could contain them all. However, Jesus did not use these sensations to show how great and powerful he was. He used the miracles to show the people around him what he is the Messiah and he is the man the Old Testament wrote about. He did not need to perform these wonders, but he did so that other may believe in him. Not only did Jesus perform many miracles, but he also gave us seven “I Am” statements. Through these statements Jesus proves he is the Son of God. Each “I Am’ statement equated Jesus with His father, God. Hoping to give us a better understanding of who he is, Jesus gave us his miracles and “I am” statements.…

    "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half-dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he saw him he passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion, and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And the next day, he took out two denaii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, "Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.…

    Through the use of symbols in the parable of the good Samaritan, Christ paints the course of redemption, showing that only through his atonement is redemption possible. The parable starts with a man journeying, and states that he “went down from Jerusalem to Jericho.” Traditionally, and possibly even more emphatically today, Jerusalem is thought of as a holy city. In the parable it symbolizes heaven or a holy place. Jericho however, does not hold the same meaning and is used symbolically as our world or being outside the presence of God. When we sin we wound ourselves and separate ourselves from the presence of God. People then rely on religion to repair this separation. While on the path and after he had left Jerusalem, the man was attacked, wounded, and left exactly “half dead.” The man’s physical body is still alive leaving the reader to interpret that while physical death has not yet occurred, spiritual death has, caused by sin as the traveler left holy ground. In this state of spiritual death the man lay until a Priest came down that path and after seeing him, passed on by. “Likewise a Levite,…came and looked on him, and passed by.” The reference to these religious people could be interpreted many ways, but in general they symbolize religious ideologies or practices.…
