The duality of judgement and forgiveness, the latter often seen as virtuous, yet impossible without the less-admired former, is present in the blood of many diverse religions from a variety of cultures and time periods, with none perhaps exemplifying it as well as what remains the world’s largest religion by number of followers, Christianity. The religion, built upon a group of holy books known as The New Testament, acts as a forgiving addition to prior Jewish holy books by offering exoneration for Earthly sins for those who embrace the teachings of Christianity’s central prophet, Jesus. Rudolfo Anaya heavily explores these themes of judgement and forgiveness within Catholic Christianity in his seminal work, Bless Me, Ultima, through the struggles
Christian Response: Salvation, according to the Bible, is due to God’s grace and love. He provided Jesus as the sacrifice for the sins of the world. It’s through faith in the crucified and risen Jesus that we may be saved. Works are excluded (John 1:12; 3:16; Rom. 10:9-13; Eph. 2:8-9).

When we brag, we want somebody to pat us on the back. When we confess, we want forgiveness; we want to be free of the burden of our secrets.
In “Sinners in The Hands of an Angry God”, Johnathan Edwards uses fear to create images that help his audience experience the consequences of sinful behavior. He uses imagery and figurative language to persuade his readers. He wants us to get a mental picture of Hell in your head and he wants us to fear the wrath of God. One such image was when Edward wrote, “When men are on god’s hands and they could fall to Hell, natural men are held in the hands of God, over the pit of Hell.” God could let us fall into the eternity of burning flames anytime He wants to.
have mentioned” (Anselm Bk1, Ch. 20). All the good, all the prayers, or even all the love we have for God, none of these can come close to payment owed to God. All these things is due to God anyway. Anselm’s view on atonement gave the backbone of Catholic theology and the reformers doctrine substitution, which is still influential the church’s today.
In mainstream Christianity, the Devil is a fallen angel who rebelled against God. He was adamant to become God himself, stating that the Lord was a betrayer of humanity; the Devil vowed to control everyone on earth though ways of wickedness. The Devil is often identified as Lucifer, or as the serpent in the Garden of Eden, whose persuasions led to the two corresponding Christian doctrines: the Original Sin and its cure, and the Redemption of Jesus Christ.

Everyone makes mistakes, commits sins or does some bad deeds. As time goes by, one is unable to live with all the guilt from these sins and mistakes.

Atonement in real life refers to the actions of making amends for a wrong or an injury.

An Essay on The Housing of The Working Classes The problem of housing of the working classes is a natural off-shoot of the growth of industrialism, which leads to a heavy concentration of workers at an industrial center. In the days when individualism ruled, owners of factories never thought it any part of their duty to provide for suitable accommodation for the wage-earners whom they employed. Naturally these had to shift for them-selves in the cheapest class of houses which were without even the minimum conveniences of life. Absence of proper hygienic and sanitary arrangements increased the evils of over-crowding, and created what are known as slums or busters.

Utilize our slips-ups as a going stone. Allow them to be lessons in how you can do things differently. They mould you to be the best version of yourself. At times when you lie to your closest friends whether intentionally or unintentionally you don’t feel good about it, but when they find out the truth, they are hurt the most as you break their trust. At that time you don’t really realize your mistake but when the same thing happens to you, you understand the real mistake that you had done to them sometime back.
