Paul And James Comparison

Putting pen to paper, Paul pleas with the Corinthians to better themselves through Christ Jesus. While in discourse with the Corinthians, the polemic language of Paul becomes, at times, difficult to digest. While pursuing a better relationship with the believers in Corinth, the apostle often used terms such as ‘we,’ ‘our,’ and ‘us.’ These pronouns can be understood in multiple ways; however, the manner in which they are comprehended sheds light on Paul’s agenda. In the analysis of 2 Corinthians 4: 8-18, the pronouns are best understood as being inclusive in terms of Paul, his followers, and the believers in Corinth.

The key event that made Paul different is when Paul started to stand up to people like Eric. This event changed the rest of the story, and let Paul rejuvenate himself into a new person. This event also let Paul believe himself and change the physical, and emotional appearance of him. This event triggered a new part of Paul, a part that is tough, prideful, courageous, and turn from the non-confidant person he was, to a new self confident human

The concluding verses (vv. 17-25) speak of the characteristics of Abraham’s faith which was counted to him as righteousness (v.22), and that it was not just for his sake alone, but also for all believers who would be justified by believing in the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ

1. Paul’s “impaired vision” is ironic because he can see what others cannot even though he is legally blind. First of all, Paul can see how Erik is a very dangerous kid. Paul sees Erik as a dangerous kid because Erik is always making fun of his friends. Erik is dangerous because he has anger problems and has been terrorizing Paul his whole life. When Erik is around adults however, he acts like a normal child. The side that his parents try to see in him. Furthermore, Paul can see the osprey. Most people besides Paul who live in Lake Windsor Downs see the Osprey as just birds. But, Paul sees them as the reason that all the koi fish in the lake are disappearing. Others think that the fish are being stolen. Paul sees it in a different way the everyone else. Finally, Paul can also see his father like know one else. Everyone around Paul sees Mr. Fisher as a hardworking man who supports his family. Paul sees his dad as a man who only cares about his older son, Erik and his football dream. Paul’s dad is so concerned about Erik that he doesn’t even know what position he plays in soccer.

Thesis Statement: In book Paul’s Case written by Willa Cather and directed by Lamont Johnson there is the common theme that that money influences how people act and think.

1.The book of Philemon is the shortest manuscript Paul wrote, it reveals the operation of slavery and the valuable relationship between Paul and Philemon. The scriputurs of Philemon accumulate to no more than a page in length and targets one essential issue. The Bible proposes that the book of Philemon was written at a time when Paul was in Prison, the letter was written to one specific person instead of a church. Paul's letter to Philemon was in desire of giving a new precipitation on the topic of one of his slaves name Onesimus. Onesimus was a slave to Philemon who had robbed and escaped from his owner, in the regards to his purpose of running he reached out to Paul for support.

As long as Paul could remember he had his giant glasses on and was told he couldn’t see without them. But even though Paul can see fine without them. Paul, unfortunately, deals with this on a day to day basis. We discover who Paul is and how significant events changed him. Paul also experiences switching schools. We see how Paul sees the world and his perspective on certain events.

Paul has never been to a museum before,so he didn’t quite know what to expect. That's why he was to surprised when one of the status leaned over and whispers. Then paul got very scared because the t-rex started chasing him and paul went crazy he went so crazy he thought every statue was chasing him and he was crying and crying he looked like rudolph the rednose reindeer, he was running so fast you could just see the gleem of light that came of his shirt. He threw chairs,pens,and even his shoes

The Epistle of James lays out why faith without good works is meaningless. James, the half- brother also tells us to obtain wisdom through full faith in God, and to persevere through the trails that every Christian faces. The author uses Christ as an example of how to be a Christian who has faith with good works.

position. Impassioned and incited by the false teaching and accompanying behaviour, Paul addresses this issue throughout the whole letter and brings the argument to its fullness in the conclusion.

In both movies, Apostle Paul as well as alien Paul demonstrated their healing powers. Alien Paul uses his healing powers to resurrect a dead bird and heal Ruth’s long-deformed eye. Alien Paul enlightens Ruth with his own tale creation stories. Ruth zealously indulges in sin and eagerly begins to walk down the wide road that leads to profanity and promiscuity. Alien Paul also saved Pegg’s life after taking a shotgun blast on his chest.

I agree that Paul had a very diverse beliefs. I think this helped him connect within the community and ​shared the Gospel easily to people like him (converts). I understand that it's hard to accept how he changed his belief quickly from wanting to destroy Christianity to giving his life to preserve it. He didn't tell the readers how it happened so it's very hard to perceive such thing could happen. But I believe that it's possible because Paul showed how much he loved his converts and even considered them his children. I think the reason why Paul didn't include his story was because he didn't want the readers to divert their attention and focus from Jesus. But don't you think that his actions and relationship towards the religion and the converts

Paul went on to scold poor Peter and basically accuse him of being a hypocrite! He asks Peter in chapter 2 verse 14 where Paul asks “Cephas”, “If you, being a Jew, live like the Gentiles, and not like the Jews, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews”. Again, most people will call that a hypocrite, but you know, we never find out what happened at the end of that confrontation, nevertheless one thing we do know is that Paul gave Peter a mighty tongue lashing. The obvious lesson to this is when you are resolving a conflict within your coalition you might want to be very delicate with the situation. I’m sure Paul made a big screen out the encounter when it occurred, but this is an example where a soft but still straightforward approach could have been a better approach.

Though Jesus was sinless and undeserving of death, he offered himself as a sacrifice in atonement for all sin (Invitation to World Religions, pg.418). Paul was always emphatic in maintaining that salvation cannot be earned by “works”, whether humans’ effort to obey the commandments in the Torah or excellent work in general. Instead, he taught that the salvation made possible by Christ’s sacrifice is a gift, the ultimate expression of God’s love and grace. Salvation is given to those who respond to God’s grace in faith, the conviction that God has acted through Jesus Christ to amend for human sin. Although Paul was very clear in teaching that salvation depends on God’s grace and the individual’s turning to God in faith, he did not dismiss the importance of works (Invitation to World Religions, pg.419). For Paul, faith does more than bringing salvation; it unites the believers with Christ in a “newness of life”. He believed that the spirit lives in believers and brings them into union with God. As a divine presence within, the spirit encourages the growth of spiritual virtues, the greatest which is love and makes all Christians one in the church often called “the body of Christ”.

It seems strange that so little is known biographically about one of the most important figures in Christian history, but this only serves to add to the mystery and grandeur surrounding the Apostle Paul of Tarsus. Much, however, is known of the time after his conversion to Christ and what he did to contribute to Christianity in this period, and it is this that leaves a greater legacy than the simple facts of his life. The contributions that he made towards the cause of Christ and the spreading and formation of Christianity are what he is perennially remembered for.
