Hypostatic union (from the Greek: ὑπόστασις hypóstasis, sediment, foundation, substance, or subsistence) is a technical term in Christian theology employed in mainstream Christology to describe the union of Christ's humanity and divinity in one hypostasis.[3] The First Council of Ephesus recognised this doctrine and affirmed its importance, stating that the humanity and divinity of Christ are made one according to nature and hypostasis in the Logos. Contents [hide] * 1 Hypostasis * 2 Through history * 3 See also * 4 References ------------------------------------------------- Hypostasis[edit] Main article: Hypostasis (philosophy) Hypostasis had come into use as a technical term prior to the Christological debates of the late fourth and fifth centuries. Before there were Christians, the word was used in Greek philosophy, primarily in Stoicism.[4][5] Hypostasis had some use in the New Testament that reflect the later, technical understanding of the word; especially Hebrews 1:3.

...Assignment on: Paul Tillich’s Theological Method of Correlation Submitted to: Dr. Samuel George Submitted by: Sunil K. Rajan, M. Div. – III ------------------------------------------------- Date: November 10, 2011 1.0. Introduction Paul Tillich (1886-1965) was a major figure in twentieth-century theology. After holding several academic posts in Germany, he and his family moved to the United States in November 1933. He subsequently held teaching positions at Union Theological Seminary, Harvard Divinity School, and the University of Chicago Divinity School. The author of several well-known books, he is possibly best remembered for his three-volume Systematic Theology. The present paper is an attempt to give a summary of Tillich’s theological method of correlation and offer an evaluation. 1.1. Summary of Method In his Systematic Theology, Tillich undertakes this mediating task by exhibiting a correlation between religion and culture. Tillich begins by contrasting “kerygmatic” theology with “apologetic” theology. Kerygmatic theology “emphasizes the unchangeable truth of the message (kerygma) over against the changing demands of the situation.” The relation between the two, he suggests, is like the correlation between “questioning” and “answering” in a conversation. Although Tillich maintains that the statements of apologetic theology must be based on the kerygma, his real concern is using what he terms “the ‘method of correlation’ as a way of uniting message and......

It expresses that God had descended in human structure. They likewise see the humankind of Jesus through his human conception, developing and learning. He encountered yearning, uneasiness and dissatisfaction (Mark 14:33). He likewise died and buried. The Biblical premise for His divinity/deity is seen in scripture too.

Utilizing the expression I AM not just interfaced Jesus to the god of Jehovah however; it additionally connected him to the Old Testament (Exodus 3).

...name Zoroastrianism. After the Arab’s invasion of Iran, the once popular religion was replaced by Islam and a handful follower of Zarathushtra fled from Iran to India to escape the persecution. They are known today in India as Parsis. Currently, there are approximately 250,000 people practicing Zoroastrianism, of which 80% live in India and the rest in various parts of the world including United States (Rivetna, 2002). Although Zoroastrianism lost its status as a popular world religion, its study and knowledge are very useful in our understanding of the development of religious thought in the ancient world and how some of its important beliefs and practices have parallels in other religions such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Hinduism. Keywords: Zoroastrianisn, Ahura Mazda, sadre, kusti Basic tenets of Zoroastrianism Jayaram (2000) discussed the Zoroastrian religion in his article “Main Beliefs of Zoroastrianism.” While Zoroastrians believe that Ahuramazda is the supreme, omniscient and omnipotent God (monotheism); they also believe in the existence of a number of divinities (polytheism) who represent His good qualities and who assist Him in containing the evil in the material world. They believe human beings are essentially divine in nature and share the spiritual nature of God so they are not born as sinners nor there is a compulsion to be a sinful. Performance of sacrificial rituals called Yasnas and ritual chanting are important part of their religious......

...valid criticisms of Independence Day Celebrations and America in 1852, but instilled hope that with a nation as young as America, change was inevitable. ne of his criticisms of Independence Day was its hypocritical ideals. In his speech Douglass states, “standing with god and the crushed bleeding slave on this occasion, I will, in the name of humanity which is outraged, in the name of liberty which is fettered, in the name of the constitution and the bible, which are disregarded and trampled upon, dare to call question and to denounce with all emphasis I can command, everything that serves to perpetuate slavery—the great sin and shame of America”. Basically he called to question the very ideal and creation of the constitution, which is behind Independence Day. a slave, even in the 1850’s was no doubt a man, and every man, based on the United States constitution “all men are created equal; and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; and that, among these are, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. Another criticism of Independence Day celebrations in 1852 was that it mocked slaves with freedom from the joyous celebrations of their masters. Douglass states “the blessings in which you, this day, rejoice, are not enjoyed in common. The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, property, and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me”. This statement was referring to Douglass’ slave status. He...

His mother was Daisy Full Young a school teacher, and his father was Andrew Jackson Young Sr., a dentist.

...which nobody is accountable for your own actions anymore. Parents for the most part have a major responsibility role when shaping our children in early stages as well as their attitudes, behavior, ethnicity, morals, values, and spirituality. The childhood and adolescence stage incorporates the primary roots that are grounded within us. As kids develop into young adults, parents’ have the best interest to know when their young adults are mature enough for certain criteria. For example, the Georgia Law states that he/she must 16 years old to test for class D license. Now parents must take responsibility to make the better judgment as when to allow their young adult permission to drive freely. In Georgia, it’s not mandatory or required, but a privilege to have a license. We as individuals mature differently and must gain all knowledge from our parents, mentors, teachers, and pastors. Also, the spiritual belief helps individuals to define themselves into their own divinity. As an individual, it’s important to have your own knowledge and understanding to your spiritual practice to live accordingly. In most families, the religion or spiritual belief...

...Greeks and Romans affected and influenced each other greatly in the Hellenistic Period and Ancient Roman Civilization. The greatest effect of Hellenism; specifically between Rome and Greece; was communication. The spoken word, and the language of printing, sculpture, mosaics and architecture all of which they, and the various regions shared. As the provinces consumed the culture at a constant rate, they also managed to keep their own unique local characteristics and joined them while exploring the arts themselves. Architecture was one of the many characteristics of Greek life that the Romans borrowed various aspects of. The simple but elegantly executed Hellenic style had captivated the Romans as much as other perspectives of Greece. Architecture became a common denominator in the religious lives of Rome and Greece. During the last century of the Republic the attachment of the old indigenous form of worship was replaced by the influence of Modern Greek civilization. This combination of Greek mythology and Greek skepticism soon tended to abolish the deep religious feeling characteristic of the old Romans. The religious indifference of the upper classes grew into a decided animosity to religion itself, and many of the older temples fell into chaos. When finally repaired, the old Roman temples took on a unanimous Greek flavor. The Temple of Portunus for example was created by Romans and combined the Etruscan plans and Greek elevations. Another characteristic between Greece......

...regarded Rastafari as another passing fad, which would die a natural death once the novelty wore off. Former Rastafarian and practicing psychologist Leahcim Tefani Semaj noted that during this phase of the movement, the dominant public opinion toward the Rastafarians was "The damn Rasta dem, wey de Rasta dem want, we just put dem in a damn boat and put dem out in the sea and sink the boat-say dem want go Africa!" Prior to the 1970s, images of the unsanitary-looking, marijuana-smoking "Natty Dread" with unkempt dreadlocks, often controlling crime-infested streets of Kingston, New York City, or London were the most common perceptions of Rastafarian culture. These stereotypes still persist today among some people in the Caribbean, the United States, and Great Britain. Since the early 1970s, however, Rastafari (the movement's self-styled name) has been recognized not only as one of the most popular Afro-Caribbean religions of the...

Louisiana is located in the United States and the city where Voodoo is most popular is New Orleans. Though New Orleans’ poverty issue is diminishing, 39% of children still live in poverty (Catalanello). The poverty does not affect the number of New Orleans children from attending school.
