The prosperity gospel (A.K.A the gospel of health and wealth) is a movement that seems to be sweeping across the globe today. This movement teaches us that when we place our trust and faith in Christ, we are given an abundance of health and wealth. There is nothing more foreign to scripture than this type of teaching.

Greek Word Arete
2026 Words | 9 Pages
Here, Jesus is emphasizing the exact opposite of most of the original views of arete that stem from excellence and being accepted by others (H.D.F Kitto, The Greeks, 1952). He is saying that it is positive to be put down by others and that because of this, one knows that he is gaining true arete and focusing on himself and his own soul. Not only does Jesus say that is is good that people look down on one who is gaining true arete, but he encourages said person to rejoice in the persecution put upon them, “because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you” (The Sermon on the Mount). Socrates, in his idea of arete, decided that it was not good for others to look down on a person for their way of thinking, which contrasts Jesus’ teachings. Although, Socrates did agree with Jesus that one should not let the opinions of others affect them.

I can say without a doubt that being stranded sucks, I never have been but, being abandoned sucks too, and wouldn’t you know it being helpless does too. That’s kind of what it’s like to be an atheist in a dominant Christian family.

The world was large back then, I hardly realized how tiny that yard was, forever burned into my memory.
