March 09, 2014 Questionario Epistolos Paulinas. 1- Foi escrito com o proposito de corrigir desordens que haviam surgido na igreja de Corinto e para estabelecer um modelo de conduta crista na igreja. Ele escreveu para responder as perguntas. 2- Santificacao posicional e uma mudanca de lugar. Santificacao disposional significa a minha disposicao, o exercicio da minha vontadde a fim de cooperar com o Espirito Santo para me fazer Santo. Santidade Posicional me garante a salvacao, enquanto a santidade discposicional e pela graca e a santidade discposicional depende na minha disposicao depende de mim para viver o experimental. Vemos esse conceito aos santificados em Cristo Jesus; A santidade posicional chamados para ser santos; A santidade disposicional. 3- Sim, 1.4-9 No capitulo 4 nos mostra que estavam cheios de divisoes, nas refeicoes os ricos se mantiaham separados dos pobres era comum ficarem embriagados durante a ceia etc. Mas ainda assim Paulo teve uma attitude profetica de ver com Deus via. E como Deus via os corintios? Eram Santos, eram ricos na palavra e no conhecimento, o testemunho de Cristo era confirmado entre eles. 4- A. Genesis 11.6 diz que o povo era um e tinha o mesmo falar por isso nao havera restricao para tudo o que intentasem fazer. Paulo orienta os corintios dentro do mesmo principio, o resultado disso que seriam uma unidade.
B.“ Uniao e ter muitas batatas no mesmo saco, enquanto unidade e quando as batas sao cozidas e amassadas tornando-se um pure dentro do prato”.
C. O partido de Paulo; foi que os ganhou e os ensinou as primeiras coisas da fe. O partido de Apoloi um grande orador. O partido de Pedro aponta para os legalistas. O partido de Cristo, aponta para os superespirituais. 5- O argumento de Paulo que mostra a tolice das divisoes foi no vers. 1.3 Cristo nao estava divido no vers 1;10 nos mostra claramente: Rogo-vos, irmaos pelo nome de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, que faleis todos a mesma coisa e que nao haja entre vos divisoes; antes, sejais inteiramente unidos, na mesma disposicao mental e no mesmo parecer. 6- Os judeus, que queriam sinains, tinham a cruz como tropeco, pois no seu conceito o Messias nao poderia ser fraco e nem morrer, para eles a cruz era locura. Os gregos amavam a sabedoria dos seus filosofos, o conceito de Deus era de alguem a parte dos homens e que nao poderia sofrer as coisas humanas, por isso um conceito de Deus sofredor era absurdo. 7- A cruz destroi o orgulho do homem porque Deus, na cruz de Cristo destruiu a sabedoria dos sabios e aniquilou a inteligencia dos entendidos. 1 CO; 1.19 Jesus ensinou que a vida eternal e esta: Conhecer a Deus e a seu filho Jesus Cristo. 8- A. Sem a loucura e a fraqueza da crucificacao, nao poderia ter havido a sabedoria e o poder da ressureicao e os inumeraveis beneficios.
B. Esta no fato que na cruz de Cristo, Deus inverte os valores de forca e fraqueza: chama os fracos o que julgamos forte e forte o que julgamos fraco, faz com que o homem de a mao a palmatoria e diga: “So sei que nada posso.”

C. Paulo nos mostra nos versos 26,29 Deus escolheu envergonhar os sabios e os poderosos a quais sao as qualificacao daqueles chamados por Deus: as coisas loucas, as coisas fracas, as coisas humildes, as desprezadas, aquelas que nao sao. 9- O processo de revelacao descrito no capitulo 2 e o Espirito e quem sabe todas coisas de Deus e esse Espirito nos foi dado e agora habita em nos, por isso podemos compreender todas as coisas profundas de Deus. 10- Tres tipos de homens a. Homem natural; e alguem que anda pelos os sentidos naturais. b. O crente carnal; sao cristaos, mas sao criancinhas brigam sobre assuntos sem importancia. c. O crente espiritual; e alguem que e conduzido pelo o Espirito de Deus. 11- A edificacao da Igreja a. A diversidade de service, sendo dever de alguns a plantacao, de outros a rega, mas nem um nem outro consegue coisa alguma sem Deus, que da o crescimento. B. O alicerce do edificio; o apostolo ocupa-se com a igreja no seu aspect de edificio, podemos recordadr diversas figuras da Igreja: corpo, noiva, templo. C. O material com que edificamos; o alicerce e sempre o mesmo, mas o edificio difere de acordo com os diferentes tipos de materiais usados, nao ha edificio se nao ser que Cristo seja o fundamento, entretanto, muitos usarao madeira, palha e feno, enquatno outros usarao ouro, prata e pedras preciosas. 12- A verdadeira lideranca e aquela que imita a Cristo.1 Co;11-1 Sede meus imitadores, como tambem eu sou de Cristo. Os aspectos de uma verdadeira lideranca e: liderar e remar no porao do navio. Liderar e administras os bens do patrao. Liderar e sacrificar-se ate se tornar substituivel. Liderar e ser um pai a ser imitado. 13- ….. 14- Considerar a imoralidade uma realidade letal; a imoralidade implica “na morte do picador” O pecado e implacavel. Discplinar ate as ultimas consequencias cristaos envolvidos em imoralidade. Agir com urgencia contra a imoralidade e vigiar as fronteiras morais da comunidade crista. 15- Aparencia de Critao sem realidade de Cristo,A indisposicao de tomar a cruz, Roupa suja se lava em casa, A santidade do corpo, O corpo foi feito para Deus, O corpo fisico esta unido com Cristo e o Corpo do cristao e o temple do Espirito Santo. 16- Os argumentos paulinos contra a impureza em 1Co.6;18 diz: fugi da impureza, qualquer outro pecado que uma pessoa cometer e for a do corpo; mas aquele que pratica a imoralidade peca contra o proprio corpo. Porneia ( imoralidade sexual) estava acontecendo na igreja coríntia que motivou o apóstolo Paulo a escrever 1Co 6.12-20? Informações históricas, descobertas etc. Tambem a estrutua interna, Os “slogans” coríntios. 17- Paulo orienta que o marido deve dar a mulher o que lhe e devido e, do mesmo modo, a mulher ao marido 1CO 7.3 Diz o apostolo que quando nos casamos nos comprometemos a dividir o corpo com o nosso conjuge 1CO 7.4. Basiado no versiculo 7 o conselho de Paulo era para as viuvas nao se casarem, mas sen nao pudessem conter-se, que poderiam casar, pois a mulher nao casada e a virgem cuidam das coisas do Senhor para serem santas, tanto no corpo como no espirito. E diz que o proveito disso e para ‘ poderes dedicar-se ao Senhor sem distracao alguma’. 18- A primeira orientacao de Paulo e: No que se refere as coisas sacrificadas a idolos reconhecemos que todos somos senhores do saber. O saber ensoberbece mas o amor edifica.Paulo faz alguns recomendacoes: Nao ha vincula entrée a comida e a espiritualidade Ele diz: Nao e a comida que nos recomendara a Deus, pois nada perderems se nao comermos e nada ganharemos, se comermos (v.8). Comer e beber sao acoes indiferentes que nada alteram a nossa condicao esperitaul. Nao podemos e escandalizar uns outros. 19- Viver do evangelho e direito dos que o pregam: A. O argumento do soldado, do lavrador e do pastor- Paulo lanca mao daquelas atividades mais comuns dos seus dias e mostra, na verdade, que a igreja e, ao mesmo tempo, um exercito. B. O argumento da lei, a propria lei de Moises concedia ao boi o direito de comer o grao que debulhava. C. O argumento do exemplo dos demais ministros da palavra, se o ministro recebe coisas espirituais muito valiosas, e justo que receba, daqueles a quem serve, coisas materiais de valor incomparavelmente inferior. D. O argumento do sacerdocio, aqueles que serviam no altar particavam do altar. Todos os dizimos eram dos sacerdotes. 20- Bataizados na nuvem e no mar; comeram do mana e beberam da fonte (10.1-4) A jornada no deserto serve para nos como advertencia. Assim como o povo de Israel, nos fomos batizados no mar e na nuvem, e comemos do pao do ceu e bebemos da fonte spiritual, todavia , devemos ser cuidadosos para que nao desagrademos a Deus como aqueles o fizeram. Reprovados no deserto (10.5-6) O proposito de Deus nao foi tirar o povo do Egito para que eles morresse no deserto, o alvo de Deus era Cannaa, todavia, por causa da incredualidade nao puderam chegat ate la. As causas do deserto; o deserto e algo inrvitavel em nossas vidas, o deserto nao e apenas uma fase em nossas vidas, mas um principio spiritual. A ceia do Senhor; e a comunhao na mesa do Senhor requer separacao do pecado, acoes de gracas sao apropriadas, simboliza a unidade do corpo de Cristo. A generalidade na Igreja; as regras que devem orientar na questao de nossa liberdade em Crito. Tudo e licito, mas nem tudo me convem, ninguem busque o seu proprio interesse e faca tudo para a Gloria de Deus. 21- O significado da palavra deserto na Palavra de Deus e lugar de infertalidade, simplicidade, libertacao, lugar de prova e de bencao. 22- …. 23- 1Co 14: 33.35 declara, Como em todas as igrejas dos santos, as mulheres estejam caladas nas igrejas; porque lhes nao e permitido falar, mas estejam submissas como tambem ordena a lei. 1CO 14:33.35 nao e um commando absolute para que as mulheres permanecam sempre em silencio na igreja. 24- Paulo ensina aos corintios que o comprimento do cabelo ou o uso do veu na igreja pela mulher era uma indicacao externa de submissao a Deus e a sua autoridade estabelecida. Esta era uma forma que a igreja de Corinto devia ser separada da cultura corrupta e paga ao seu redor. Na cultura de hoje, ja nao mais vemos uma mulher usando o veu como um sinal de submissao. A mulher hoje tem a opcao de usar o veu o nao se ela enxergar isso como um sinal de sua submissao a autoridade do marido. No entanto e uma escolha pessoal e nao um sinal de espiritualidade, a verdadeira questao e a atitude do coracao em relacao a odediencia submissao e a attitude ‘como ao Senhor’. 25- Os problemas que existiam durante a ceia em Corinto era ‘ter ou vive rem comum’ . Era dada a largada e quem chegasse primeiro se fartava, ate se embebedava, deixando outros “chupando os dedos”. 1Co 11:21 26- Olhar para tras: A centralidade da morte de Crito, Olhar para dentro: A necessidade do autoexame, Olhar ao redos: O desefio missionario e olhar pra frente: A esperanca da vinda de Cristo. 27- Paulo escreve aos Corintios e solicita desses irmaos, em nome de Jesus, que sejam unidos entre si. Ele diz:..que digais todos uma mesma coisa, e que nao haja entre vos dissensoes; antes sejais unidos em um mesmo sentido e em um mesmo parecer 1Co 1:10 A igreja e o corpo humano tem que vive rem harmonia com seu irmaos de fe, entendendo e vivendo a verdadeira essencia do evangelho de Cristo, vivendo em uniao sendo um so corpo em Cristo.

...FROM SATAN I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores. You awoke without kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact, you didn't even bless your meals, or pray before going to bed last night. You are so unthankful, I like that about you. I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living, Fool, you are mine. Remember, you and I have been going steady for years, and I still don't love you yet. As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate God. He kicked me out of heaven, and I'm going to use you as long as possible to pay him back. You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you.

...Life in People’s Eyesight Life is what we can define. There are lots of facts we can associate and describe about it, based on different aspects and point of views of different kind of people. Well, Life is beautiful but not always easy, it has trials too and the challenges lies in dealing it with an exert effort and courage. There’s no human in this world that’s enjoying success without even conquering any hardships and failures. No wonder the saying “No Pain, No Gain”. Happiness and Victory, Sorrow and Defeat, are the two sides of life and what matter is choosing what side you prefer. There are people who see life with full of pleasures and adventures, a part of discoveries and innovations, a prospect for success and prosperity. Most of those people enjoy and live their lives to the edge. They take obstacles in life as their path through what they want. There are also people who see life with full of failures, burdens and bad omens. They think that their life is horrendous and miserable. They take it so bad, as if there’s nothing good about it. Some of them delight doing crimes as far as committing suicides, a permanent solution to a problem that’s merely temporary. There are times that other people lead them to do it, maybe because they suffered too much bullies and sarcasms that they can’t handle the pain so they decides to do unlikely things. Life shouldn’t control us, instead we should control it. We should choose the right to path, not the wrong one. But there...

...LIFE As a parent, I believed that my son would outlive me and have sons and daughters of his own, so we could grow old watching them have families of their own, because that was the way of life. I had hopes and dreams for my son. When he died, it completely destroyed my world and left so many unanswered questions. I was completely lost and bereaved. Rebuilding my life and becoming one of the living again has been a long, hard struggle. The death of my son changed my life and me as a person forever. My son chose to end his life on October 3rd 2008. He was only 29 years old. Nothing in my life prepared me for his death. My world ended and everything that I have known in life was shattered. Life as I knew it had changed forever. I couldn’t think or feel anything other than for the pain that was in my heart. My family and my friends worried for me and wanted me to come and stay with them. How could I go and stay with anyone, when I was like a zombie or the living dead. The days did not mean anything to me anymore. Everything I did was like a robot on autopilot. I ate because someone put food in front me and slept when my mind was so exhausted I had to sleep. I knew I had to try to get back into life and live again and rediscover myself as a person. I knew that was what my son would have wanted me to do. I was a completely different person when my son was alive. I loved life, laughed a lot and was happy. I greeted everyday as an adventure and with joy in my...

...to give a presentation on megaliving- how to lead a perfect life. Let’s make this an interactive session. So, hers a question I invite you to consider on. How many of you out here think that you are leading a perfect life? Or before this can any one of you describe what a perfect life is? Before answering this question, let’s do an exercise, Everyone shut your eyes, take two deep breaths and picture this scene taking place many years into the future: you are in an elegant dining hall, surrounded by those closest to you (who are dressed beautifully, looking their best). The candles shimmer on every table and the importance of the evening wafts through the air like the aromas from the kitchen. This is your testimonial dinner, an opportunity for the people who know you best to speak about you as a person, your achievements and your contributions to those you love and to society in general. Just for a moment, reflect on what you would like them to say. This reflection my friends; is the perfect life you want for yourself. And how many of us are actually living our perfect life..? There are two competing schools of thought. One says go out there live your dream, be the best, play at your highest potential. And the other says that the purpose of life is to simply enjoy the journey, simply be happy, and live in the moment. When you think about these two schools, you realize that both are equally important, life is all about the balance. It’s important to reach for the mountain...

...LIFE. Life may have many definitions. Through out the centuries, people have sought to understand life in different ways. People through their cultural practices, tries to explain and give meaning to life. Others through religion; their way of worship, explain what life is. Philosophers are in no doubt, a people who through the ages have embarked on this long search. However, with observation of nature, times and seasons, one can make an analogy to understand a section of life. The morning stage is the early part of the day or life. This can signify the period of conception in ones mothers worm till birth. This is also a stage where one begins a social orientation of knowing the parents and the family, learning to speak, walk and embracing the environment around him. We can also classify the time when one begins elementary school to graduating from the university and securing your first job as the morning stage of life. The age range is 1-25 years. The mid-day of life is when one has become a full adult. The person could at this stage be married and have children or his or her own nuclear family. One at this stage is independent and makes his own decisions; self actualization can also be found at this stage. Many times, the focus of people at this stage is their family and work. Acquiring houses, cars and all the luxury of life is very predominant at the mid-day of life. The age range is 35 to 60 years The evening stage of life is when people are taking rest from their labour...

...thinking of what is life, why we have been here on this earth and what is the purpose of life? As most of you I believe, during my whole life I have been thinking of these questions and have never been able to come across the right answer for this. A poor man is always worried about feeding himself and his family. The middle class people are always worried about arranging basic comforts of life that covers house, car, clothing etc. The upper class of the society is worried about the amount of wealth they are accumulating and the power they have in their hands. You take the case of any one of these and wonder why are we doing this. I partially support the poor class because food is something we cannot avoid in our lives. But how about the others? What are they running after? Atleast I have never been able to support the answer on this. Some may argue and I do partially agree that we do need to something to live this life. But the fact that upsets me the most is what we are doing is really that which we are supposed to do on this earth. Every religion on this earth in one form or the other guides us to do our work and perform duties and leave rest to the God. But, what kind of duties and why do those? Human thinking has been made narrow to the extent that we always think about future and desperately work, always think and devote our life to future. But what future is? It is nothing but death. Then why are we running after future. Why cannot we live in present? Life is surely very...

...I can remember as a child always asking myself the "why" questions of life. Why are we here? What is the purpose of life? Why do certain things happen? And is there really a God? I had always kept these questions to myself and eventually pushed them out of my mind altogether. I was raised in a Christian household and you just were not allowed to ask questions of that nature and doubt the faith. The world is the way it is because God made it that way and that is all there is to it. I was really excited to take this class because it would finally give me the opportunity to exercise my personal thoughts and beliefs. I have come to agree with Socrates that "the unexamined life is not worth living." In my opinion life is a combination of philosophical ideas such as morality, respect…………. The study of philosophy is a very complex and complicated task. There are so many different questions on many different topics and philosophy tries to explain them all. It tries to provide answers to the many questions that science and religion cannot explain. And from this it urges you to think about issues that may otherwise be ignored. I agree with the goal of autonomy, that philosophy is having the freedom to make your own decisions and beliefs by using your own reasoning capabilities. I believe that we all have the God-like quality of reasoning and therefore can make our own educated decisions. And because we can make our own decisions, we are fully responsible for our actions. This responsibility...

...Date: 09-12-2015 LIFE SEASON OF LIFE WHAT IS LIFE? Life can be defined as a characteristic of living. It is the state of being alive or active in lively activities. The opposite of life is death, once one has stopped to exhibit or show the characteristics of life, he or she is said to be dead. Life is also made of many activities, but we will see how to perform this activities. WHAT DO WE REQUIRE IN LIFE TO SUCCEED? For us to be able to succeed in life, we must know the times and seasons which are required of us to do everything we are to achieve in life. This leads us to “the seasons of life”. SEASONS OF LIFE: Just like the day which is made up of 24 hours is classified into morning, afternoon and night; for example, we take breakfast in the morning, lunch in the afternoon and dinner at night, we can’t say that we take breakfast at night and dinner in the morning. So also, life is classified into morning, afternoon and night, and these times have specific activities it wants us to perform. Let us consider each of them below. MORNING: The morning at every person’s life is the time frame from when he/she was born to 20 years of age. At this age, one is required to learn how to walk, read, write, show respect, learn the basics of education, respect for parents, respect for teachers and other elders in the society. One should also learn how to behave himself or herself in the public, how to speak with good manners in the public. At the latter part...

...THE ABSURDITY OF LIFE Steven Luper, Trinity University In "The Absurd"[i] Nagel claims that self-conscious human beings are necessarily absurd, so that to escape absurdity while remaining human we would have to cease being self-conscious. Fifteen years later, in The View From Nowhere,[ii] he defends the same thesis, supplementing some of his old arguments with a battery of new ones. I want to suggest that Nagel has misdiagnosed, and exaggerated the inescapability of, our absurdity. He does so partly because the grounds on which he bases his conclusion are spurious, and partly because he does not acknowledge the extent to which we can eliminate absurdity by suitably redesigning our plans and modes of justification. Nonetheless, I do not mean to imply that we can easily eliminate absurdity from our lives. Life is not necessarily absurd, but unfortunately, in a world like ours, there are limits to what we can and should do to reduce the absurd elements of our affairs. The View of the Nowhere Man "In ordinary life a situation is absurd," Nagel says, "when it includes a conspicuous discrepancy between pretension or aspiration and reality: someone gives a complicated speech in support of a motion that has already been passed. . . ; as you are being knighted, your pants fall down."[iii] In this passage from "The Absurd" Nagel claims that absurdity is a particularly striking sort of incongruity, and the conception of absurdity he discusses in his book is the same.

Student Life

...Student life is the best part of life. A student learns many things from books. But he has to enter the real world after his student life is over. So, he needs practical knowledge of things. Student life prepares a man to lead a successful life. In fact, student life is a life of learning. A student learns morality and good manners. He understand the value of discipline in life. So student life is a period of making and preparation. Student life is a care-free life. It is a life of joy. A student is free from almost all cares of the world. He gets a different atmosphere at college from that of home. He takes part in games and sports. He goes sometimes on a picnic and sometimes on educational trips. A student lives in a small world of his school or college. The life of a student, therefore, is a golden period of life. Student life is a life of discipline. At home a student may behave well or badly. But the atmosphere of a school college is completely different. Good boys are loved and praised. Wicked boys are punished. All students have to follow some rules and obey their teachers. Thus, they learn discipline. Discipline makes them self less and teachers them ‘live and let live’. Student life is a life of character building. Character has its importance in life. A student must be bold and fearless. He must think society. He should try to solve the problems of the nation. He must be loving and truthful. Student life is a life of character formation. Students must have a sense...

Lighter materials, such as silicate minerals, migrate upwards in exchange. These silicate-rich materials may well have risen to the surface in molten form, giving rise to an initial magma ocean Early Earth heats up due to radioactive decay, compression, and impacts. Over time the temperature of the planet interior rises towards the Femelting line. After the initial segregation into a central iron (+nickel) core and an outer silicate shell, further differentiation occurred into an inner (solid) and outer (liquid) core (a pressure effect: solid iron is more densely packed than liquid iron), the mantel (Fe+Mg silicates) and the crust (K+Na silicates). Initially large portions of the crust might have been molten - the so called magma ocean. The latter would have cooled to form a layer of basaltic crust (such as is present beneath the oceans today). Continental crust would have formed later. It is probable that the Earth’s initial crust was remelted several times due to impacts with large asteroids...

End of Life

...End of Life Essay It is very important for people to discuss and manage end of life issues. There are many issues that may need to have resolutions such as life support, curative vs symptom management, courses of treatment. Other issues such as burial plots and funeral arrangements. I have found that many people feel they have more time to discuss end of life issues. They feel that they have plenty of time to discuss their wants and wishes for the death and dying process with their loved ones. It is very important to discuss end of life issues with your significant others, spouses, children because one never knows when the end of life issues may come up. Maybe it is a young mother diagnoses with stage 4 ovarian cancer. Maybe it’s a 76 year old male patient that feels that while he has lived a good life, it is never enough time. Or it could be a 16 year old teenage girl that had a soft tissue sarcoma that wasn’t diagnosed until it had metastases all over her body. I have taken care of all of these patients. It is never too early to discuss end of life issues, but sometimes it can be too late. Death is very personalized such as life. It is important that the individual is allowed to pass in a manner that is important to them and to feel that they have taken care of issues that they may feel need to be resolved. We might think that we know what our loved ones want, but it could be very different from what they actually want. For example we may think that our...

Journey of Life

...Running header: Journey of Life 1 Journey of Life Victoria Schoepf ENG125 October 21, 2013 Jennifer Thompson Journey of Life 2 Life starts out as an undetermined journey until the elements of choices are laid in our way. Everyone in life or spirit, will often reflect back on the path or road one has choose to contemplate, with never truly knowing if it we did choose the right or wrong direction. I will compare and contrast the literary works of “The Road Not Taken”, by Robert Frost and “I Used to Live Here Once”, by Jean Rhys. The two literary works attention is on the journey that an individual has decided to take through life. One of the narratives focuses on symbolizing choice, while the other is death, but in the same way are similar, because life itself is a journey that can lead into a life or death situation. “A symbol is an object, person, or action that conveys two meaning: its own literal meaning and something it stands for as well,” (Clugston, 2010). “The Road Not Taken” uses symbolism by starting with “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,” (Frost, 1916). Two roads diverged is symbolizing the looking back, (a reflection point one has on life altering choices) on life’s lessons, (events) that have impacted one’s journey...

Every living thing is collected through cells which make tissues and organs that make a living organism. All living organisms can produce such as humans, animals, bacteria, and plants called asexual reproduction.
