Chapter 2.

This is a continuation of a story begun in the post “Chapter 1. Part 1.” If you enjoy it, please like and share it with others! CHAPTER 2: WELCOME TO THE SYLLOGY “Don’t be afraid to open your eyes Nicholas. If you don’t, we’ll never get anywhere.” The man sounded lighthearted, almost jovial. His entire demeanor had changed from what it was on the beach of Troy. Here, wherever here was, he sounded like a regular person. I opened my eyes to take in his appearance again. They stung initially from the brightness, but shortly, the pain receded, and I … [Read more]

Chapter 1. Part 2.

by

This is a continuation of a story begun in the post “Chapter 1. Part 1.” If you enjoy it, please like and share it with others!   The first answer I thought of was conquest. My entire life as a soldier thus far had revolved around military superiority. The domination of other states and keeping Athens the one pure Ionian nation was the purest of intents. My heart began to race as I considered this thought. Surely conquest was our purpose as people. We were meant to dominate one another, to consume one another, and the successful consumption of another … [Read more]

Chapter 1. Part 1.

I’ve decided to post the book I’ve written. The working title here is “The Syllogy of the Universe” but I’m not quite happy with that.

However, I would love for people who would like to read it, to do so. Please enjoy, and feel free to like my page on facebook, subscribe to this blog … [Read more]

Four Views on the Book of Revelation

by

This is a paper written for my seminary class BE107 Hebrews-Revelation. The assignment was to write a paper that explains the four major interpretive views of the book of Revelation and explains their strengths and weaknesses. It was only supposed to be 10 pages, and when I finished the first view, I was 6 pages in, so I cut it back a little bit and seriously scaled down the remaining three views. Got it down to 12 pages! Haha. Anyway, that’s why the quality of argumentation degrades after the preterist view. Introduction Few books in the Bible have generated a … [Read more]

The Argument of James

by

This is a paper written for my seminary class BE107 Hebrews-Revelation. The Assignment was to write an introduction and argument to the book of James, addressing things such as date, author, audience, and then walking through the book to see what his argument was.  Introductory Issues Authorship The book of James is self-identified in verse one as being from ᾽Ιακαβος, Jacob, or as it is often translated, James. This prompts the question, “Which James?” as there are four prominent characters in the New Testament who go by the name. There is James the half-brother of Jesus, James the son of … [Read more]
