  • Evolution and Original Sin: Accounting for Evil in the World by Dr
    Evolution and Original Sin: Accounting for Evil in the World by Dr. Daryl P. Domning and Dr. Joseph F. Wimmer The Washington Theological Consortium (WTC) produced this discussion guide as part of a series titled "At the Crossroads of Science and Theology." The series aims to connect the interests and expertise of faculty in Washington-area theological schools with the questions and concerns of people in congregations regarding the relationship between science and religion. We hope to bring theological reflection and scientific research to adult education groups, in an interdisciplinary and ecumenical exploration of fundamental issues in this relationship.

  • 4 Advent B SML 2017 LK 1:26-38 There Was a Fallen Angel: Lucifer, A
    1 4 Advent B SML 2017 LK 1:26-38 There was a fallen angel: Lucifer, a woman: Eve, a man: Adam, and a tree: in Eden . But before discussing original sin and man, it is necessary to discuss yet another, earlier “original sin,” namely, original sin and angels, because angels were created by God first, and some angels sinned first. Angels were created as pure minds and bodiless spirits. Despite all the pictures you see of angels, they are without bodies and they are without wings. Their intellects are brilliant, far more brilliant than human intellect, yet they were created, as were humans, with the gift of freedom – the gift of free will – the choice to do it God’s way or their way, to put their will above God’s will. They abused their freedom and chose to do it their way and not God’s way. They put their will above God’s will. Lucifer made the decision and the decision was completely free. “I will not serve. I am going to be independent of God and I am going to be a god myself.” The prophet Isaiah spoke of the fallen angels: What fell from heaven was Lucifer who once heralded the dawn. I will scale the heavens, such was your thought, I 2 will set my throne higher than God’s stars, the rival, the most high. (IS 14:13) Anyone who gives freedom to another takes a risk. A parent who gives freedom to a child takes a risk. When God made the angels free, He took a risk because some of them declared themselves as God.

  • Symbolism of the Apple in Greek Mythology Highgate Private School Nicosia, CYPRUS
    Symbolism of the Apple in Greek Mythology Highgate Private School Nicosia, CYPRUS Apples appear throughout numerous world religions and mythologies as a common symbol and motif. It is important to note though that in Middle English as late as the 17th century, the word ‘apple’ was used as a generic term to describe all fruit other than berries, so the appearance of apples in ancient writings may not actually be the apples known today. The etymology of 'apple' is an interesting one. That aside, Greek mythology presents several notable apples: the Golden Apples in the Garden of Hesperides, different golden apples associated with Atalanta, and of course the golden Apple of Discord. Each appearance of apples presents unique examples of symbolism. The Golden Apples in the Garden of Hesperides were a wedding gift to Hera from Gaia and were protected by a great serpent called Ladon. The Apples as well as the rest of the life in the Garden were tended by the Hesperides, minor earth goddesses or nymphs and daughters of the Titan, Atlas. The Garden itself rested in an inaccessible spot near the edge of the world under the power of the Olympians. For his Eleventh Labor, Hercules was sent to the Garden to retrieve three Golden Apples for King Eurystheus. The exact location of the Garden and the Apples was unknown and Hercules had to pry the information from Nereus, the Old Man of the Sea. Along the way, he also encountered and freed Prometheus who told not to try pick the Golden Apples himself, but to ask Atlas.

  • The Apple in Early Irish Narrative Tradition: a Thoroughly Christian Symbol?
    The Apple in Early Irish Narrative Tradition: A Thoroughly Christian Symbol? Caroline McGrath Echtrae Chonnlai is regarded as being one of the earliest extant tales in Irish, dating from the eighth or ninth century A.D. (McCone 2000, 29). It describes a meeting which takes place at the royal seat of Uisneach, between Connlae, mortal son of Conn Cétchathach and a supernatural woman who describes herself as coming from tír inna mbéo ‘the land of the living ones’. Before departing for the Otherworld, she gives him an apple which miraculously stays whole no matter how much he eats. On the woman’s departure, Connlae is filled with longing for her. When she returns, he leaves his people in order to join the woman in the supernatural realm. The tensions which existed between the indigenous pagan tradition and the nascent Christian Church in Ireland are evident in this tale. We are faced with ‘the opposition of two philosophies, the first being the native, the druidic, the doomed… The other embodies a prophecy of the coming of Christianity’ (Carney 1969, 165). The woman’s arrival is a clear portent of the overthrow of the indigenous pagan tradition. Connlae’s decision to leave behind all that he knows and loves symbolises the retreat of this culture in the face of the might of the new religion. Furthermore, there is a complex interplay between pre-existing motifs and Christian teachings in this tale. It is clear that the otherworld country described by the strange woman is an amalgam of the pre-Christian concept of the síd and a biblically-inspired paradise (Mac Cana 1976, 95).

  • Adam: the Genesis of Consciousness
    ✲ CHAPTER ONE ✲ Adam: The Genesis of Consciousness THE BIBLICAL FALL WHO among us has not been moved bythe familiar tale? After God has accomplished the immense labor of creating heaven and earth, he amuses himself bymodeling from the moist dust of the ground—almost playfully, it appears—a figure into which, through divine CPR, he breathes life. What now to do with this weakling on an earth still raw and inhospitable from the Creation? As a home for his “Adam,” whose name in He- brew is the generic word for “man,” he plants a garden in Eden, a horticulturalist’s delight in which thrives everyvarietyof tree both pleasing and useful: among them in the center the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. He informs his Adam-Man that he mayeat freelyfrom everytree of the garden except, on pain of death, the Tree of Knowledge. Then, to provide companionship for his new earthling, the di- vine potter shapes from the same clay, in sportive experimenta- tion, various beasts of the field and birds of the air. Although the man asserts his authoritybygiving names to all the cattle and birds, he finds among them no helpmate suitable for him- self. (According to ancient tradition, Adam’s first and unsatis- factorysexual intercourse was with the animals.) 1 So God anes- thetizes the man and removes one of his ribs, from which he clones a being similar to him. For an unspecified period—some rabbinical readings grant them no more than that first day— the two protoplasts live happily, and still in nameless generic universality, in their nature preserve, neither aware nor ashamed of their nakedness.

  • Apple Facts (PDF)

One medium apple contains about 80 calories. The word apple comes from the Old English aeppel. The Celtic word for apple is abhall. Quercetin is found only in the apple skin. The skin also contains more antioxidants and fiber than the flesh. China produces more apples than any other country. Washington, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and California are the top 5 apple-producing states in the U.S. In all, 36 states produce apples commercially. The apple is the official state fruit of Washington, New York, Rhode Island, and West Virginia. There are more than 7500 varieties of apples grown in the world. About 2500 varieties are grown in the United States. Red Delicious is the most popular and most-produced apple in the United States. Golden Delicious is the second most popular. The only apple native to North America is the crabapple. Half the United States apple crop is turned into apple products like applesauce and apple juice. Apple trees don’t bear their first fruit until they are four or five years old. Archaeologists have evidence of people eating apples as far back as 6500 B.C. 20 Facts About PineapplesThe more apples a person eats, the lower his or her risk of developing lung cancer.
