Why is it said the beatitudes promote values that are in direct contrast to what the world promote?​

English

Mama L [17]2 years ago

Answer

It is because world values promote the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, the arrogance of life, selfishness, and seeking material gain. These values contradict the teachings of Christ Jesus of becoming humble, selfless, and seekers of God and His righteousness.

Explanation

For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure (lust of the flesh), a craving for everything we see (lust of the eyes), and pride in our achievements and possessions (the arrogance of life). These are not from the Father but are from this world.

Matthew 5:3-11 (NLT)

The Beatitudes

3 “God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him (poor in spirit) for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

4 God blesses those who mourn,

  for they will be comforted.

5 God blesses those who are humble,

  for they will inherit the whole earth.

6 God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice,

  for they will be satisfied.

7 God blesses those who are merciful,

  for they will be shown mercy.

8 God blesses those whose hearts are pure,

  for they will see God.

9 God blesses those who work for peace,

  for they will be called the children of God.

10 God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right,

  for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

11 “God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. 12 Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way.

Explain the online shopping scam (not from google )
NNADVOKAT [17]
The typical shopping scam starts with a bogus website, mobile app or social media ad. Some faux e-stores are invented from whole cloth, but many mimic trusted retailers, with familiar logos and slogans and a URL that’s easily mistaken for the real thing. They offer popular items at a fraction of the usual cost and promise perks like free shipping and overnight delivery, exploiting the premium online shoppers put on price and speed. Some of these copycats do deliver merchandis shoddy knockoffs worth less than even the “discount” price advertised as a once in a lifetime deal on, say. My parents have also been scammed online but with an insurance company once they came to the united states, and they stole all their money and had to sleep in their cars for weeks.

(11) Finally, he chose advertising, where he would learn about making commercials.
RideAnS [48]

Hello!

I believe your answer is B

Ultimately, he chose advertising, where he would learn about making commercials.

Finally and ultimately are very similar in definition.

A. does not make sense, because finally is longer, and briefly means shorter.

C. doesent work because chiefly means "for the most part", he fully decided on it.

D. does not work because moreover means "as a further matter" which doesent make sense in this case.

I hope this helps!
