Philemon Story
After reciting the story of Philemon many numerous times, it is clear to say the primary story is about the relationship between two men who share a friendship with a third man between, who may or may not be of importance depending on what the actual intention was really about. The third man in fact may be of assistance to the two men, but none the less may be of no importance or actually be a very important chracter to the two main characters, depending whose guidance the third character was under. The beginning of story begins with a man named Paul who is writing a letter to his associate Philemon about being incarcerated in prison for speaking the ways of the Christian faith followed by spreading the word of God. Paul is also writing …show more content…
The time and era this story had taken place appear to be just right after the fall Rome, but not actually near the land of Rome, Christianity was beginning spread. Concluding to the reason why Paul was incarnated in prison, along with other prisons who wished greeting to Philemon. Philemon accepted a person seeking a home, and offer a place to stay for that person name Onisemuss, until Philemon found out he wasn't a believer causing Philemon to convert Onisemuss into the Christian faith. Philemon failed to convert Oniemuss but didn't want to be a bad Christian by throwing Onisemus out, so Philemon gave Onisemus harsh labor as punishment for not believing in Christ. Oniesmus left, and somehow found Paul, and through there became a believer in Christ, and help break Paul out of prison along with the other prisoners. Paul mentions in the letter to Philemon to spare a room along with Onisemus who is now a brother of the Christian faith. The story would most likely end with all three coming together and practice the word of God in peace. Sadly the only information that appear to be unattaible was how Onisemus met Paul. It is very hard to decided how, and when Onisemus met Paul, for all that is known Onisimus could of been missing for years, or possibly could of been in jail himself for possibly stealing since Onisemus is out on his own. In conclusion this area is the most puzzled area that seems unknown, but what is known is Onisemus is now a brother, and he and Paul are returning back to

    Guy Paul has a lot of people against him during the 10 years of him being labeled as a murderer. It did not help that there was police misconduct during the investigation and them not having reliable information during the trial. The police also had bias against him in the investigation like calling him weird, judging him for doing the things he loves to do and lying under oath to get him guilty. With all of that, Guy Paul knew he was innocent so he went to 3 trials and 10 years of torture to free his name. That is why many people can learn from the weird, Guy Paul…

    Professor Bruce W. Longenecker’s novel, The Lost Letters of Pergamum, describes a collection of fictional letters being exchanged between two fictional characters known as Antipas and Luke.

    Paul the Apostle gave us not only some of the most profound pieces of early Christian theological reflection, but also some of the finest, poignant writing in history. Throughout Paul of Tarsus’ life, he has been able to contribute to the development of Christianity through his heritage, his personal encounter with Jesus and his life as a missionary for Jesus. AD 33, before Paul converted to Christ, Christianity grew only amongst disaffected Jews. A Jew himself, Paul spoke Greek and inherited Roman citizenship. This enabled him to put Jewish ideas into the language of the Gentiles, and because of his efforts, through his missionary journey’s throughout Asia, Macedonia and the West, Christianity grew from its beginnings in Israel to the rest of the Roman Empire.…

    Phil 101

    In understanding “The Grand Inquisitor” and chapters taken from The Brothers Karamazov, the heart of Ivan’s search is a philosophical question: if God is almighty, why would God allow people to suffer? While this line of questioning can be seen as attacking faith by asking why God punishes people, it opens the door to understanding that faith requires willingness. Ivan Karamazov’s rejection of secular and Westernized faith can also be seen as the failed struggle of trying to find a God he can believe in. Ivan says he wants to get to know his estranged brother Alyosha (Dostoevsky, 1993, p. 1), but Ivan is lost and faithless, primarily because Ivan is unwilling to believe in God when he sees so much suffering in the world. Aloysha cuts to the heart of the estrangement between the two of them when he asks Ivan how he can love without having God in his heart (Dostoevsky, 1993, pp. 36-37).…

    Rowing the Bus

    The essay “Rowing the Bus” is has a lot to do with the problems that kids are having in school. I also, believe that these kids are in this situation, because of their parents. These parents have to pay more attention to their children’s actions or check on their child in school. A lot of these kids that get picked on at school end up being serial killer or child molesters and mad at the world. Once these kids lose their self respect, they get depressed and ashamed of whom they are. I think that Paul was wrong, for what he did to Gorge at the school playground. I bet Gorge would have been a good friend, if Paul would have given him a chance. That made Paul change his state of mind, and he hated the way the bullies was treating these harmless students. So that made him stand up against people who tease or hurt who are defenseless. This essay is a good example for, those who are going through the same situation.…
