Argumentative Essay: Walk By The Spirit
Our opposition…
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. Galatians 5:16-17 (NASB). There will always be this life-long battle that will be waged over our lives. A quote from a recent Boxing movie goes like this, standing looking into a mirror; “You see this guy here? That's the toughest opponent you're ever going to have to face. I believe that's true in the ring, and I think that's true in life.” You’ll confront many other battles in your lineup at some point in your life to fight. But this one, this one you’ll grapple with

    Bible Interpretation: Steps Involved in Interpretation of New Testament Letters

    Step one of the Interpretative Journey for the New Testament letters asks the reader to "Grasp the text in their town." By this the author wants the reader to understand the difference in culture and time, as well as understand that the message Paul was trying to teach when writing that letter to the Galatians. In chapter 5:16-18, Paul states very clearly and to the point, "Let the holy spirit guide your lives, then you wont be doing what your sinful nature craves." This powerful verse allows the reader to understand how great the fight between the flesh and the Spirit are. These three verses allowed Paul to reassure that anyone who walks in the path of the Spirit will less likely give in to the urges of the Flesh. Those who do right to fulfil their obligation to the Spirit are slowly cleansing their own soul of their sinful desires.…

    interpretation project 2

    In this my second interpretation project step one, I will illustrate the four steps of the Interpretive Journey for the New Testament letters in Journey into God's Word: Your Guide to Understanding and Applying the Bible (pp.100-102) and apply these steps to Galatians 5:16-18 and "grasp the text in their own." The main verse is Galatians 5:16 which states: "This I say then, walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh." In these three verses Paul exhorted the Galatians to walk in the Spirit. Paul says that anyone who walks in the Spirit "will absolutely not" do the desires of the flesh. Paul contrast the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit.…

    Galatian Dialectical Journal

    Step Three: The theological principal found in Galatians 5:16-18 is to be led by the Spirit. Paul tells us that the Spirit and flesh are in a constant battle. That you may not do what you may want to do. (v.17) Our sinful nature wants to do evil, and it goes against what the Spirit wants. Everyone is born with a sinful nature, no one is exempt; but once a believer is sealed with the Holy Spirit, you then should be led by the Spirit. No longer can you live to gratify the desires of the flesh the way you used to. You will strive to live a life that will be pleasing to…

    Christian Worldview: Paul's Letter To The Romans

    We battle within ourselves with our sinful wants and desires and following the Lord. Paul talks about the war that occurs in the members of his body (Romans 7:21-23). Romans (3:9-20) also speak about how no one is righteous. Paul continues by saying “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” This continues to prove that we have a sinful nature. We are not stuck in our sinful ways. Paul also speaks about our sinful nature does not control us but that the Spirit does as long as the Spirit of God lives in us (Romans 8:9). You also need the Spirit of Christ in order to belong to Christ (Romans 8:9). Even though we are born with a sinful nature and fall short of God’s glory we also have God’s grace by having the Spirit of God in us as long as we accept Christ…

    What is the best solution to a more successful future? This question is in the minds of many students and parents. In my opinion, I think that attending a public school is a better solution than attending a private school. This choice is affected greatly by the overall performance, capabilities of the student and the financial budget of the parent. There are advantages and disadvantages of both private and public schools.…

    Argumentative Essay

    As of November 20, 2014, same –sex marriage has been legalized in 35 out of 50 U.S. states. Same-sex marriage is a hot topic which the Supreme Court is considering to legalize. Many people say a homosexual person is a sinner. The question is do homosexual people choose his or her gender? They were born that way and they are happy with their lives. Homosexual people are nothing unlike heterosexual people. They are living, they are working, and they contribute to society. Proponents state that same-sex couples should have access to the same marriage benefits and public acknowledgment enjoyed by heterosexual couples and that prohibiting gay marriage is unconstitutional discrimination. On the other side, opponents argue that altering the traditional definition of marriage as between a man and a woman will further weaken a threatened institution and that legalizing gay marriage is a slippery downhill way that may lead to polygamous and interspecies marriages (gaymarriage.procon.org). All people in the world should understand the meaning of marriage, whether a same-sex marriage or a traditional marriage. For that reason, same-sex marriage should be considered as a legal marriage because it is an equal right for humankind and beneficial for society as well as preventing youth suicide.…

    Argumentative Essay

    The prices of college tuition have increased yearly, and not much of an effort is put forth to try to lower the costs. For example, colleges in the state of Pennsylvania have a high tuition. Moravian College’s tuition is about $32,931, and after receipt of grants and scholarships for one year it will be $22,900. East Stroudsburg University’s tuition is about $6,240, and after receipt of grants and scholarships for one year it will be $12,500. I can barely afford Community College, and I know for a fact I wouldn’t be able to afford any of these colleges or universities either. In this essay, I will explain through facts and opinions, why the cost of college tuition should be lowered.…

    Integrative Framework

    Lastly, I want to address how I believe the Holy Spirit is working in my life. Certainly, I recognize sin affects our personality traits, yet with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I understand who I am as an individual and how sinful tendencies influence me, which in turn, are the same personality traits given to me by God (Fischer, 2006). In my earthly life I will be conflicted with overcoming my sinful nature and do as God desires. It is difficult for me to inquire for assistance or speak openly with someone else as I feel vulnerable and exposed. Dealing with conflict is one of my greatest weaknesses. In my opinion, even though I will address a situation quickly to return to a peaceful state I never feel as though I handle the situation…

    As I mentioned above, whether or not a women wants to breastfeed or formula feed is now a matter of choice. Before I move forward, I want to explain about the history of breastfeeding and formula feeding. Before the modern era, breasfeeding was usually the normal procedure for feeding an infant. If a woman had problems breastfeeding her baby, the family would usually hire a wet nurse to nurture the baby in place of the mother. This was considered very normal. As a matter of fact, wet nurses were chosen with the utmost care, because it was vital and essential for a baby to receive the right amount of nutrients. Another alternative to wet nurses was cow’s milk, or in correct terms the process of “dry nursing” was established. Wet nursing and dry nursing were the common alternatives to breastfeeding during the early 19th century. However, in the turn of events another breast milk substitute had evolved. Formula had been created and was in lieu of breastfeeding. One of the biggest known named companies of today, Nestle was a big contributor to the establishment and creation of formula.…

    Argumentative Essay: God On Trail

    It is fair to say that we live in a world of hatred, wars, terrorism and murder, however how we can hold accountable one Man for all these unspeakable actions? God can change everyone’s personality so that we can not sin, except then we would not have free will. As well He can compensate for the worlds evil actions, but then there would be no consequences. The Lord can remove those who commit evil acts, which may seem like a grand idea, in spite of this though there would be no one left, for we all sin. I will address the court today with persuasive evidence to prove why God is not accountable for this charge.…

    Driving requires a lot of concentration in order to keep the road, and ourselves safe. Nowadays, many people have a license without being able to drive in a manner that is responsible. This raises the question of cell phones. There are many factors that contribute to accidents. Eating, drinking, reaching for fallen objects and talking to passengers are also some other elements that takes the drivers attention away from the road. Cell phones are not an exception, but they can also be very useful. However, they too present a danger for everyone, therefore, I agree that their use should be prohibited while driving.…

    Ephesians 5: 15-21 Exegetical Paper

    We see it with the two verbs: being drunk with wine which leads to debauchery, but being filled with the Spirit, which leads to joy in fellowship and obedience to the commandments of the Lord’s will (Hoehner, 702). Just like those who become drunk with wine, those who are filled with the Spirit can no longer control their actions. Those who have the spirit give up their own will to the Lord. Those who walk and are filled with the Spirit, then the Spirit of God is directed and empowers the believer to live their life in a way that is pleasing to God and also to his will. “Believers are commanded to be filled by the Spirit so that they will understand the will of the Lord and allow God’s control of their lives, thus providing enablement to make the most of every opportunity rather than succumbing to the desires of the flesh” (Hoehner, 705). Believers should not only walk wisely, but be filled with the Spirit. All of these are very beneficial to the believers and are pleasing to…
