Tying up Loose Ends

It was really interesting to me in class on Tuesday to see how Roman philosophy and thought begins to tie into what we have learned thus far. As Virgil's Aeneid begins the Trojan war also ends and the Greek seems to flow into the Roman. I am very interested to compare and contrast the ideas within each etc. Its like we've been on a journey into philosophy which differed from the action and insanity and now we are back to visit again as already gods have begun influencing and working in the lives of the humans and making their own dislikes very apparent.

It will be interesting to see how more of our lesson on Tuesday will tie into the Roman ideas...

PS I commented on Lucas' blog...

NEW IDEA:

So I was reading Jeremy's blog and I was reminded of class Tuesday and the Rome eating gods thing...and then I read that he said that he thinks America does that.

I agree and I also would go so far as I think some churches do this. I have been to a church so fixed on making sure everyone fit in and everyone felt love that in the process they forsook the truth of the Bible and Christ which is in the fact the reason that we are able to be graced with the love and mercy which allows us to accept those who are in sin. There is an underlying global force trying to get the whole world to unify. Ie: Coexsist bumper stickers and Unitarian churches. Excuse me if anyone here has a nice Coexist bumper sticker...They are kind of cool and I do think we should accept other people and love everyone and all that but the thing is as Christians we are called to live in and not of the world we are called to live separate lives. Not in the sense of separation but people should see a difference when they look at our lives. So any church that wants to water everything down and is more focused on unity and a global religion and willing to make Jesus Christ a way, a truth, and a life is not really agreeing with the scriptures and with what Jesus taught.

I hope that made sense to some extent.
