Joseph As A Biblical Hero
Another reason, why Joseph is classified as a Biblical Hero is that he never gave into temptation. Potiphar's wife tempted Joseph and Joseph did not give into the temptation. This resulted in Joseph being thrown into prison and still Joseph served God with all his heart. He never once doubted God.

In addition, Joseph forgave his brothers even though they tried to kill him and sold him into slavery. He held nothing against them and when they came asking for food, Joseph tested them and when he realised they had changed. he willingly gave them some food.

    Joseph's Story

    B. Assuming Joseph’s heart has stopped, what cellular processes and membrane functions are going to be affected by the loss of oxygen, blood glucose, and waste removal? Assuming Joseph’s heart has stopped, the mitochondria and aerobic processes will be affected. The mitochondria is known as the powerhouse of the cell where ATP is produced. Oxygen and glucose are the main sources of energy for ATP. The muscle cells, liver cells and kidneys cells use ATP at a high rate to maintain homeostasis. The loss of oxygen and blood glucose to his organs will cause him to have a homeostatic imbalance and many of his organ cells will die causing them to lose functions.

    Genesis 37-50 Research Paper

    Genesis 37-50 – Joseph is sold by his brothers to the Ishmaelites, who sell him into slavery in Potiphar’s house (Egyptian captain of the guard). Joseph is falsely accused of sleeping with Potiphar’s wife and is imprisoned, but he is released for his prowess of interpreting dreams. He predicts the coming of great famine from Pharaoh’s dreams and that earns him respect and a high position in Pharaoh’s court. When the famine occurs, Joseph’s brothers are forced to come to Egypt to ask for food, but they do not recognize that Joseph is the one to whom they are making the request. Joseph tests his brothers and tricks them into bringing the youngest, Benjamin, to Egypt and he threatens to enslave Benjamin for a crime he did not permit. Judah…

    Secondly, Joseph is a hero because he really cares about others. For example, if he was selfish , then he wouldn’t have saved the people from the high levels. He would’ve made sure that he was safe first and he would’ve tried to evacuate the building without caring about anyone else. This shows that he does not only care for others but he is also selfless. Since Joseph Pfeifer saved so many people, this shows that he is courageous, brave, and noble. He believed in himself and had the confidence to do hazardous things.…

    Jesus V. Beowufl

    Over the ages, many have pondered "what makes a hero?" Over those same ages, we've seen many people try to put forth a single definition as to what defines a hero. One of man's earliest examples was Beowulf, the valiant hero called forth to slay the evil beast Grendel. Beowulf is portrayed as a man with wits, physique, and morality superior to all others. Perhaps the earliest example of another hero would be Jesus, the man Christians claim to be the savior of mankind. Jesus is portrayed as God himself sent down in man form to show others the light of God. According to the Bible, Jesus is the only perfect being, only doing right deeds. The two characters are similar in the sense that they both are seen as heroes who are infallible when compared to most, if not, all men.…

    Saint Joseph

    Saint Joseph

    Saint Joseph was the foster dad of Jesus which made him a saint but he was also know as Joseph of the House of David, Joseph the Betrothed, and Joseph the Worker is known from the New Testament. He was born in Bethlehem in the first century of BC. He settled in Nazareth and lived to be 111 before he died in Nazareth on July 20, AD 18. He was a hard-working carpenter with not a lot of money. Even though according to Christian tradition he was not the biological father of Jesus, he acted as his foster-father and as head of the Holy Family, and Jesus during his public life, was referred to as the son of Joseph. Joseph is venerated as a saint within the Roman Catholic, Eastern Catholic, Coptic Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, and Anglican Churches. St. Joseph was never formally canonized, as the canonization process was not developed until centuries after his death. Like most early saints, he was venerated and declared a saint by popular consensus among Christians, a decision that would have been ratified and encouraged by local and later general Church leaders. His main reason for becoming a saint was because he was the “father” of Jesus. I chose this Saint Joseph as my saint because I believe he is a true role model and was very generous and kind. These attributes make him the perfect choice, for these traits are fruits of the Holy Spirit, along with knowledge, wisdom, and patience. His Feast day is March 21. Joseph is the unofficial patron against doubt and hesitation, as well as the patron saint of fighting communism, and of a happy…
