three witnesses: 29. How much more surer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden underfoot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the spirit of grace?”
Zeph. 1:6.;Luke 12:45-47
Luke 9:62 “No man having put his hand to the plough, and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God,”
We must now ask ourselves what the foregoing scriptures mean.
It is possible that we are interpreting these scriptures wrongly and if this is so, then what exactly do they mean?
Luke 11:24-26 is frightening: It essentially warns that when the enemy finds that the place is clean, but open to sin, he comes back with demons seven times stronger than …show more content…

Our character must go through positive if not radical change, as we recognize our weaknesses bringing them to the Holy Spirit to be dealt with; casting down imaginations and every high thing that work against the knowledge of God and bringing them into subjection to the obedience of Christ.
God emphasized His disdain for complacency when He declared that being neither hot nor cold was disgusting and He would spew the lukewarm thing out of His mouth. Jude 3 instucts us to : “…contend for the faith…” God is a God of order and He expects us to be obedient in the strictest sense of the word. This is the reason why we should be in communication with God according to Francis Shaeffer on a moment by moment, not just a day to day thing, but on a moment by moment basis.
The meaning of the word ‘contend’ in Strong’s Concordance 1864 Greek ĕpagönizŏmai to struggle for, earnestly contend for, 75, to compete for a prize, to struggle, endeavour to accomplish something, fight, labor fervently, strive, 73, fight race , a contest held. …show more content…

Strong’s Concordance 7665 Hebrew: shâbar. Bring to the birth, break down in pieces crush, destroy and hurt. The word breach is also breech used in the delivery room by doctors and midwives when the baby is brought to the birth, but cannot proceed due to wrong positioning. This becomes a medical challenge and may cost the mother’s or child’s life, if not both. To repair this life threatening problem with haste, the delivery team is galvanized into swift action to correct this and the obstetrician could even request a Caesarean section or surgical intervention. Taking this allegory seriously, we will recognize the similarity with the denominational strife and relational impasse. The Body of Christ is expected to flow in the same stream, but it’s an upstream struggle. Bear in mind that the Body of Christ is Outer Court, Inner court and Holy of Holies. Outside the Camp is for another level

In the beginning of this book I was having mixed emotions but it got clearer the more I read also,the scenes helped me clear it out too. In the scene where Tom was being forced to whip someone...an innocent lady he refused because he knew it wasn't right. So he took the beating himself because he was putting cotton in the ladies basket. I was angry because the slave owners shouldn't be able to do that because it isn't right and they should be treated the way they are treating the slaves.

“Character Analysis over The Crucible” Arthur Miller is a commonly-known playwright, most famous for his 1953 play, The Crucible.

Miller even uses some of the same characters in his dramatized play that were a part of the original witch trials in Salem. However, Miller made a few alterations to the historical members of the Salem society in order to suit his dramatic purpose in The Crucible, particularly Abigail Williams, John Proctor, and Reverend Samuel Parris.

This quote is not spoken, but instead is a thought that passes through Jack’s mind about something Willie said earlier in the chapter. Willie told Jack and Adam that Hugh Miller wanted the one thing that he could not inherit: goodness. He then goes on to explain that humans cannot inherit goodness because they are inherently bad. Since humans are inherently bad, everything good must come from bad. Humans must use their badness in order to create some form of goodness.

The threat of Communism and the Red Scare put fear of group mentality into many people during the late 1940-50s.   The authors of 1984 and The Crucible used their respective works to comment on the social injustice going on in their own lives, which connects to injustice the exists throughout time anywhere in the world. Miller wrote his play, set in 1692, about Puritans and the Salem witch trials because he believed that, similar to his trial for HUAC in the 1950s, the trials in Salem were caused by false accusations and mass hysteria led by powerful individuals. In 1984, Orwell creates a world in the near future that shows group mentality and its threat to conform society with the government.

One of the biggest shocks people hear when it comes to the Crucible is that those characters were real, which makes the weight of their deaths that much heavier. A total of 20 people died in the Salem Witch Trials: 19 of them were hanged, and one was tortured to death by pressing; that person was Giles Corey. Not much is said about Giles Corey in the play, but it is said that actions speak louder than words, and that is true for him. When he refused to utter the names of others that might’ve been involved with witchcraft, he set himself up to be tortured to death and yet never said anything other than “more weight” (Miller, 207). Although he is a minor character, Giles Corey plays the role of an anti-hero, who not only displays probably the biggest act of bravery in the whole play, but also demonstrates the fact that although the judges were “learned and all-powerful”, a high education and obsession for power cannot silence the tenacity displayed by such a truthful character.
