Resurrection in Christian belief is the rising of the dead at the Last Judgment. Resurrection is most notably associated biblically with Jesus Christ. Christ’s rising from the dead three days after having been crucified on the cross is a story well known among most. It is the first ever and authentic report of a resurrection in our history. “Never before had anyone been raised from the grave in such a way as to be completely transformed and thus beyond the icy fingers of death.” (Deffinbaugh) Resurrection is a common biblical theme noted several time in the scriptures within the Old Testament and the New Testament of the Bible connecting the two.…

It can be argued, that when referring to the Bible, teachings within it are too rigid for moral decision making. There are many reasons for this, some which are very evident, particularly when looking at certain teachings. On the other hand, some argue that most religious ethics are the right way to approach moral decision making as these contain the teachings and word of God so must be correct.…

Simply put, salvation refers to the deliverance of suffering or danger. It can be said to correlate with the idea of self-preservation. The Bible makes mention of the term “salvation” in respect to physical deliverance from danger or suffering. I find myself thinking about Paul, and his deliverance from a prison (Philippians 1:19). At other times, the term “salvation” refers to spiritual deliverance. As in when Paul was witnessing to the jailer and explaining what he had to do in order to be saved from damnation (Acts 16:30-31). This is very different from physical deliverance.…

In this case the company acted in an ethical way. This is an example of the principle of individual rights. The manager had decided to fire the employee instead of resolving the initial issue, which results in employee dissatisfaction. However, as the company does not want a bad reputation online or in the office, firing was the best solution. An employee has the right to freedom of speech but the employer also will be intolerant of any employee anti- corporate activities, which it perceives might be gross misconduct from erring employees and at the peril of organization objectives.…
The Gospel According to Matthew and the Gospel According to Luke offer detailed accounts of the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. These gospels, as well as the Gospel According to Mark, are collectively known as the “synoptic gospels” because of their shared traditions and stories. It is from this trio of works, all written some 2,000 years ago, that the teachings of the otherwise obscure figure of Jesus are able to be revealed to contemporary readers. While Matthew, Mark, and Luke share many salient features, Matthew and Luke alone seek to emphasize Jesus’ direct appeals to nullify the principle of ethical reciprocity in the Sermon on the Mount and Sermon on the Plain, respectively. Luke in general and verses 6:27-35 in particular are chiefly interested in the significance of the teachings of Jesus as they relate to this topic. This analysis will serve as a detailed examination Jesus’ attempts to nullify the law of ethical reciprocity in Luke 6:27-35.…
"never do anything to against the conscience, even if the state demands it." This quote is from Albert Einstein. In this quote, Albert Einstein tells us what a normal person should do when faced with a moral dilemma. What people do is often the opposite of what their conscience tells them to do. " The Sniper" by O' Flaherty and "War" by Timothy Findley are both good examples of this. The two stories both show that war brings people pain because it forces them to contradict their consciences and feelings.…
Christianity is a religion based on ethical teachings. The Christian Ethical Teachings are based on the belief that the adherent is an image of god with intellect, free will and power of self determination. The extent to which the ethical teaching impacts on a persons life is obviously dependent on how devoted to Christianity the adherents are The main ethical teachings which I will focus on are. The 10 commandments the New Testament ethics, that is: - the beatitudes - Jesus commandment of love. The 10 commandments are a part of the whole body of laws given to the Israelites after they had escaped from slavery in Egypt and were setting out for the Promised Land. At Mount Sinai, god promised to take the people as gods own, protecting and caring…
Whether at home, at work, or at school, every day we are faced with making moral and ethical decisions. Depending on your occupation and or authority, some decisions could have a profound impact on society, individuals or groups. There are many controversial topics facing politicians and society as a whole and one hot topic is same-sex marriage. Throughout history, homosexuality has been considered taboo. Over the past several years, gays and lesbians have come out and openly voiced their sexuality. As a society, people have changed their attitudes and philosophies regarding homosexuality.…
The Merriam Webster dictionary defines ethics as the discipline dealing with what is good and bad and with moral duty and obligation. Therefore, making an ethical decision requires an individual to evaluate what is good or bad and the moral duty and obligation to society. The good and bad are defined by societal norms and one’s moral duty is based upon an agreed set of rules, which govern human behavior. However, making an ethical decision often requires a much more in depth analysis of the situation and the possible outcomes. In this paper, I will examine four dilemmas in which decisions must be made based on ethical reasoning and moral duty to society. In most of these cases, the choice is not an easy one and often, a choice must be made between two unattractive choices or two evils.…
