Does God really exist? Is a question that brings a lot of controversy, because some people believe that God does exist and some people believe that he doesn’t exist? Based on the way that I was raised and brought up in a Baptist church I believe that God does exist. McCloskey believes differently than I do; and feels that God is not real.

and Eve and how they put the human race’s futures at stake for sin and death. Milton displays a good sense, which I support as well, of what a hero truly is. The story takes place in the Garden of Eden, but is referenced as “Paradise.” The battle between Satan and God created the mess that “caused all our woe” (Norton 1943). God asked Adam and Eve for one favor, which was the action of obedience towards God. They each were told not to eat the fruit from a tree. Satan created temptation for Eve, who

teaches us how God gave specific instructions to Adam concerning the tree of life. Even today the bible is a guide on how to live a righteous life, yet Christians only apply certain scriptures related to how they want to live. The sinful act of Adam and Eve has been passed down through the generations. Sin causes us to turn inward. Mankind seeks to do the things that are pleasing to self and not the things which are pleasing to God. The consequences of Adam’s fall brought sin into the world. It caused

conclusions. The stories follow a parallel, diverging only when one protagonists fails and the other succeeds. With the idea that God gave mortals freedom and therefore they have the ability to choose in mind, it is arguable that the tale of Adam and Eve could have resulted in the same storybook conclusion as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The many parallels between the two stories indicate that with this God-given ability of choice, both stories could end in tragedy, such as Paradise Lost, or in

jolly old St. Nick would reward children with gifts. Without the fear of Krampus beating kids in modern days, children have become more spoiled, expecting Santa to simply bring them gifts with no downside. Both used to be possible visitors on Christmas Eve, and the look of who shows up if you’ve been naughty is enough to cause a grown man to fear for his

point for creation. In Genesis, the first book of the Holy Bible, we are introduced to Adam and Eve. God places Adam, the first man in the Judeo-Christian tradition, in the Garden of Eden with clear instructions that he can eat from any tree except from the Tree of Knowledge. God explains to him, if he eats from this tree, he will die (Gen. 1.27). Because God loves Adam, he provides him with a companion, Eve. A serpent, that could

Whoville Vs. The Grinch 1) STATEMENT OF FACTS: The Grinch’s main goal was to sabotage Christmas, as the story begins with the Grinch saying "I must find some way to keep Christmas from coming!”.

line between the two forces based on the scriptures of the Holy Bible. Genesis 2.5-3, better known as the story of Adam and Eve, gives the Christian explanation for why ‘Evil’ exists in this ‘all-perfect being’ created world. This scripture’s purpose is to point out where that debated line’s location stands and how to identify it. The forces of good and evil are symbolized by Eve and the serpent which are mediated by the “Tree of Knowledge”. Whether an act is good or evil cannot be strictly defined
