Warm Bodies: Good Connections To The Bible
In this movie there was a number of many good connections to the Bible and especially Romans. The movie expressed many ideas of Romans. The biggest connection In Warm Bodies to Romans was when R sacrifices himself to save Julie from doing and falls into the pool dead and rises up from the water alive. When R and Julie were trapped on the edge of the stadium and the boneys were closing in on them R had a choice which was to sacrifice to save that which he loves which was Julie. R says “always protect you” and holds her and falls, saving Julie from death. That connection relates to How Jesus was sent to earth and sacrificed himself for us from God’s wrath. Jesus sacrificed himself so that we may live eternally with God and be forgiven for our sins and receive salvation through christ. …show more content…
Romans say “Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness” (Romans 6:13, NIV) which shows how God sent his son to die so that we are saved from sin and we must be grateful. When R is falling they fall into a pool where R hits the bottom with his head and is dead on impact, but he then is raised from the water alive and becomes human again, he is reborn and created new from his old self. This is a perfect example of baptism. When we go under the water we are dead in sin and we are not living, but when we are raised up, we are alive and become new in christ and all are sins are washed away and we are made

    Baptism may occur at any point in a person's life, but Roman Catholics believe that the sacrament of baptism is extremely important and should be performed as soon as possible following the birth of a child. For Presbyterians baptism is an initiation into the church community as ordered by Christ. When a person is baptised, their sin, both personal and original, is removed. Water is used during baptism as a sign of cleansing and growth. Roman Catholic churches usually include a Baptismal Font, if it is an Anglican Church it will probably be at the back of the church near the West door. This is symbolic as through the pouring of the water, the child is freed from original sin and receives the Holy Spirit. As stated in the bible, "I baptise you in the name of the father...son...and the Holy Spirit." (Matt 28:18-20) This rite has a historical connection between past and present for all Christians, since Jesus was baptised, so are we. Thus establishing a vertical connection.…

    There are concepts from the Morgan reading from last week that help us think about Holy Land USA. Last week Morgan talked more about "visual piety" which for him his religious focus was more visual as like in the head of Jesus. This week in Tim Beal's essay "Biblical Recreation", he is more concerned about what could be thought of as "spacial piety". The concepts that bring both together are for Morgan the bible means more by the visual images the word of God invokes. However, for someone like Beal when the Word is present in a visual manner it has more meaning for him. I believe Beal would say when someone acts out the Word in the form of a play people get more meaning from it. Both Morgan and Beal would say when we acknowledge how…

    Since its original publication in 1930, the novel As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner has drawn much exploration and critique. Though this analysis is very far reaching and broad in topic, one interesting route of investigation is the novel 's connection to the Old Testament. One does not have to be a Christian to study the similarities in theme; there are very many occurrences of biblical subject matter and correlation, these having been studied by student and scholar alike. The Old Testament is known commonly as the more historical part of the Bible; it sets up the background knowledge to the New Testament and gives readers an idea of the nature of the times. Many general themes of the Old Testament are reflected in the Bible as a whole, as well as each book having its own plot and theme. Such Old Testament themes such as original sin and ideas corresponding to that of the Book of Job can be found inherently in As I Lay Dying.…

    Lewis Use Of Baptism Essay

    Baptism is one example of how God wants his children to live by his example. It is apparent, as written by Frank C. Quinn, that we must “fully incorporate into the body of Christ through water and Spirit (Quinn 2). If further evidence is required to represent the importance of baptism, the entire New Testament can be used as a tool for research. Not more than three chapters into Matthew, the first book of the New Testament, John the Baptist baptizes Jesus in the Jordan. “Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him” (Matt. 3.13). One does not need to search hard to find any of the examples Jesus lays out for his foundation. The New Testament itself is a representation of the foundation Christ lays. Thus it is plain that in the New Testament the grace of the Spirit is fundamentally linked with the identity of Jesus Christ (Dragas 150). Questions arise in this matter as they do in any matter. Dragas addresses this issue saying, “but why is He Christ?” (150). He answers this question with scripture: “He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit” (John…

    In the biblical worldview, God created the heavens and the earth. Although everything is a part of God but it is not a God. In the Buddhist religion it teaches everything is a God and he is not regarded as anything personal. But there is only one God and he is my personal savior.…

    Baptism was a healing ritual for Indians and Christians. “Indians understood the baptismal ritual as physically curative. Jesuits similarly expected miraculous recovery to accompany baptism”.vi It is important to remember that John the Baptist baptized Jesus so that He could indentify with sinners. His baptism symbolizes the first “into the righteousness of Christ, dying with Him and rising free from sin in order to walk in the newness of life”vii. It is significant to note that scholars argue over whether or not Jesus actually baptized anyone. Most think that he never did, because our sacrament of baptism commemorates the death and resurrection of…

    The first 39 books of the larger work called the Bible, is called the Old Testament. The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics, philosophy, treatises, dramas, songs, epics, biographies, and letters. There have been many books written and published to survey, explain, and/or bring to light the Old Testament, but none more helpful to me than the review subject of this paper, the work of Dr. Elmer L. Towns, entitled “A Journey Through the Old Testament”.…

    According to Viramontes, the unique challenges by Latina females is caused greatly by their ethnic background. Often women are oppressed by society, but when the issue is of color these challenges are harder to avoid. This does not only occur in this novel, but exists today in the real world. Many Latina females are often discriminated and harassed by societal influences, which makes them feel forced into specific roles. As seen in Under the Feet of Jesus, Estrella is a victim of these ongoing challenges, for being part of a low socioeconomic status, lack of education, and not being a legal U.S. citizen.…

    We can be saved when we put all of our trust in Jesus as the Lord our Savior. Every person is sinful and cannot save himself, we are to be an example of the good works He has done. Any person who has truly had a change of heart will not lose their salvation. When we sin our fellowship with Him is interrupted but never broken. Our God is intimate and wants to know us personally. We have direct access to God no matter our age. Because of Jesus dying for us we can be personal and is excepted as one of His children. Baptism does not save us, it is simply a symbol to show all that we believe in His death, burial, and resurrection. We do this as an act of obedience to Christ. “A personal worldview is a combination of all you believe to be true, and what you believe becomes the driving force behind every emotion, decision and…
