...Although my last food journey as a Paleo was difficult, it was very rewarding as I learned much about the differences between our diets and ancestors’ diets. The one entity the Paleo diet lacked, however, was a religious backbone. When I was offered the opportunity to embark on a new venture, I was excited to explore the practice of eating kosher-style. While keeping my Lenten promise of avoiding sweets, I decided to dabble with the some Jewish food rules. I find it very interesting that we often regard food as an enemy—avoiding sweets during the season of Lent and never mixing dairy with meat when following the rules of kashrut—but why do we partake in such food rules? Perhaps, we abide by these rules so that we remain in good standings with God or maybe because we want to attain salvation. Throughout my kosher-style expedition, I searched for an answer and turned to several notable texts for insight. According to the rules of kashrut, there are several impermissible food combinations. Kashrut forbids one from cooking or eating meat and dairy products together. Furthermore, some Jews wait one to three, or sometimes six hours after eating meat before eating dairy again. Similar customs impose waiting periods for eating meat after one has consumed dairy; however, these periods are typically shorter in length (Sigman). The laws of kashrut extend so far that food must: (1) come from a proper source (no shellfish or pork), (2) be prepared in a specific manner and (3) not be combined...

Even though Louis did not know the hand of God was at work in his life there is evidence throughout Unbroken that suggests otherwise. Louis was stationed in Hawaii at a naval base in Oahu during WW11. At the base he was assigned to the plane nicknamed “The Green Hornet”. The crew went out on a reconnaissance mission to find another plane that was downed over the Pacific ocean. While on the mission one of the engines of the Green hornet failed and...

...Judaism is one of the oldest religions in the world, before Judaism was born, there were pagan religions. Judaism was created by Abraham whereas every other contemporary of Abraham understood that there were days and nights, stars and sky, the ocean and the land, and they also believed that each were an individual entity. Abraham and God a covenant and God chose the Jewish people to be His people. Abraham was the first to establish Judaism as "religion of the deed, not the religion of the creed. I decided to do this interview on is Judaism. I have always been interested in this religion and was ready to learn more about Judaism and Jewish people beliefs. The temple that where I visit is called Temple B'Nai Israel, spoke to the rabbi of the temple. The religion was maintained despite severe persecutions in many nations. Judaism practices for over six thousand years. According to Simani, the Torah, which is the five books of Moses, in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” This day stated is the Shabbat. It is observed as the day of rest because God rested from creation”. As an example of how the traditions are founded and practiced many events that are continued are stories from both the oral and written Torah. The written Torah is Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Each book has extensive histories of the Jewish people and is the documentation of this history. The first book is also known as the Breshit. This book describes the creation, Adam...

...was a term that the ancient Greeks used to refer to hospitality. Hospitium, was what the ancient Romans used too describe hospitality it meant the divine right of the guest to receive hospitality and the devein responsibility for a host to provide hospitality. Hospitality towards a stranger or a traveler was an important element in the ancient Greek and Roman culture. The Odyssey and the Aeneid best demonstrate 1) why hospitality is so important, 2) what do the gods have to do with hospitality, and 3) what was expected from the host as well as the guest. There are many reasons why hospitality was so important in those times. It was for shelter, food, protection and most importantly it was a matter of life or death. One example would be Odysseus’s long traveling in the Odyssey. Traveling back then was not as advanced as it is today. The method of traveling was done by boat or on foot. This meant that many nights would be spent away from home and the travelers would have to rely on the hospitality of strangers for food and shelter. There were no hotels or restaurants in the ancient times and if there were hotels and restaurants, the travelers would probably not be able to pay for the many nights that they would have to stay. In Homer’s The Odyssey, Odysseus and his men relied...

This was because it could be a god disguised as a civilian, and usually the homeowners were supposed to give the stranger a gift when they arrived at their door for this reason as well. When someone did not follow the rules of Xenia, they were disciplined; like the suitors getting killed, and the Cyclops getting his eye poked out by Odysseus....

...Classic Maya at Xunantunich, Belize falseLeCount, Lisa J. American Anthropologist103.4 (Dec 2001): 935-953. In the article “Like Water for Chocolate: Feasting and Political Ritual among the Maya at Xunantunich, Belize, author LeCount documents the various reasons behind the feasting traditions of the Maya and how these are linked to the political rituals and power of the Mayan people. LeCount uses the discovery of the pottery vessels and their uses in the feasts. LeCount also shows the importance of the types of food and drink served and the significant meaning behind these foods such as tamales and chocolate. LeCount references articles by several authors to compile her data and come to her conclusion about the importance of the meaning behind the food, pottery and different types of feasts whether they are for political, religious or social reasons. Archeologists have discovered that the Mayans have symbolic uses for their serving paraphernalia and the foods that are served in them. The Maya have elite and commoner living in Xunantunich, Belize. The architecture is the easiest way to determine the status of the Maya. The location and the sizes help us to know the social status of a community. El Castillo is a settlement and it was a primary site for rituals. This was a multi-level complex that was centered in the community. It is surrounded by other smaller settlements and it is within these settlements that the archaeologists uncovered the meanings of the pottery and...

...With each aspect of creation, God expressed pleasure in what He created. God’s pleasure in his creation reveals the need for Christians to care for the environment. God shows man’s mandate given by God for creation in Genesis 2: 19-20. Since God gave the mandate to rule over the earth, man is also responsible for the environment. Global warming has affected the planet which is and has caused a climate change on earth. Natural disasters have increased due to the climate change. Christian’s responsibility for creation is to restore its landscape, agriculture, animal life, and human livelihood. Christians have a responsibility to preserve creation by recycling, proper disposal of hazardous waste, and create protection agencies for wild life. Christians have a responsibility to take care of creation, restore, preserve, and protect creation in all aspects which God has commanded man to do. God’s involvement in creation is understood for Christians in the Bible starting at Genesis 1. The Bible shows at the beginning God’s hand is expressed in all aspects of creation. The first day of creation God made space, time, earth, and light. On the second day, God created the atmosphere of the earth which then making it possible for life on earth. The third day, God made dry land and called it “earth.” God names the water “sea.” God also created the vegetation, plants that produced seeds for reproduction, fruit with seeds in the fruit, and trees. The fourth day, God created the Sun, moon, and...

...it stand to reason that every area of our lives should be affected by our relationship with Christ? 1 Corinthians 10:31 states: "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." In the minds of many Christians there is a separation made between the spiritual life and the other areas such as: business, finance, physical, and social. God's plan for our lives is that our relationship with Him and our religion will permeate each and every area of our life. God likens our relationship with Him to that of a father and a child. What kind of relationship would we have with our earthly father if we hid certain areas from him; would he be pleased? Likewise our heavenly Father wants to take part in all facets of our life. It's amazing that with all the universe in His keeping, our God is interested in what we are doing today. He wishes to take part in your life and even help with your problems. There is an interesting promise that is made in Deuteronomy 7:15, butfirst we need to understand an important principle in Scripture. In 1 Corinthians chapter ten, the apostle Paul gives us this important message. In verses 1-4 he tells of the wonderful miracles that God wrought for the children of Israel when He delivered them from slavery in Egypt. God did show Himself in mighty miracles such as the parting of the Red Sea; the manna or bread which fell from heaven; and the life-giving water which gushed forth from a rock. Even more amazing, these wilderness...

...This challenge is, “is what is morally good commanded by God because it is morally good or is it morally good because it is commanded by God?" Euthyphro’s dilemma brings up two questions. In the first question he asks, is what is morally good commanded by God because it is morally good? To answer the first question we need to realize that there are independent moral standards. Some actions can be right or wrong within themselves. Although with the first question we run into some problems, mainly omnipotence, because this directly contradicts Absolutism. Absolutism means that God is all powerful, and if you agree with the first question of the Euthyphro dilemma then you are saying that God is not all powerful. Now for the second question, is it morally good because it is commanded by God? After looking at the second question, you can see that there are no other moral standards other than God’s will. Although on the contrary, the second question also raises the fact that there would be no reason for morality at all. After looking at the two questions in detail I can firmly tell you that the second question is the answer I chose based on the Absolutist theory, mainly...

...Sermon: The Living Bread John 6:35-41 Objects: A Food Pyramid Poster and Flat Bread. Have you ever seen a food pyramid poster? The food pyramid was developed to help us know what kinds of foods we should eat to help us to grow strong, healthy bodies. I have one to show you. The picture shows all of the food groups. There are grains, vegetables, fruits, milk and dairy, meat, and fats and sweets. As you can see, the largest part of the pyramid is foods that we make from grain. What are some foods we make from grain? Let's see, there is bread, cereal, muffins, tortillas, and a lot of other good things to eat. Most of the things we make from grain not only taste good, but they are good for us too. Bread has always been considered to be one of our most important foods. Even way back in Bible times, bread was very important to life. Do you remember the time God provided bread for the Israelites when they were starving in the desert? Every morning God sent bread from heaven for the people to eat. I'm sure you also remember the time when Jesus fed a crowd of 5000 people with just five loaves of bread and two small fish. Do you remember when Jesus taught his disciples to pray? He taught them to say, "Give us this day our daily bread." (Pass out Flat Bread and have them tear a piece off and eat it) Bread is, and always has been, a very important part of life. Most places in the world have bread like this Flat Bread.

...the characteristic of mercy is rooted in God and experience in the relation to God. In the Bible the word mercy can mean loving kindness, to be merciful and to have compassion. “Where mercy, love, and pity dwell, there God is dwelling too.” William Blake In the Old Testament there are two Hebrew words for mercy. First there is the word hesed, which means “steadfast love, covenant love”. According to the Catholic Biblical scholar John L. Mckenzie, the word hesed is used in connection with other words…such as hesed-emet (steadfast, dependable love), hesed-sedekah (righteous, holy love), and hesed-yesua (rescuing, saving love).” In the Old Testament the word hesed is used in connection with covenant that God established with Israel. This covenant was, on God’s part, a gift of and grace for Israel. God showed his loving kindness to Israel, his covenant people. No matter the continual rebelliousness of Israel God showed mercy to Israel. For this reason the meaning of the word mercy includes forgiveness as a main element in God’s determined faithfulness to his part of the covenant he had with Israel. “For the Lord thy God is a merciful God; he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them” (Deuteronomy 4:31). In the New Testament the Greek word for mercy is eleos. This translates to loving kindness and tender compassion. It refers to the merciful love of God that he will pour out upon his children....
