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

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.

Phoenix [80]
The correct answer is A.

The sentence should be written like this: <span>Sadly, even after that water is found, only some of it's clean and safe enough to drink.

Because the sentence is saying "only some of IT IS clean and safe enough to drink," an apostrophe should be used.

Argumentative Essay Women's Soccer
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

This is all I found, change some stuff and do the rest of the paragraph!

men’s Equality Through Soccer

In most circumstances, sports are dominated by men. They play in the sports that are truly popular and gain attention in the media. This male dominated sports culture is largely due to the inequality women face in comparison to men. Women are often seen by stereotypes that portray them as gentle and fragile, while sports are seen as quite the opposite. However, in recent years a women's sports power has arisen. Women's soccer grew largely in the US after several Olympic and World Cup titles. This has given women a new place in sports culture, as well as pop-culture entirely, and has led to diversity in sports that has created a more level playing ground for women, at least in the United States. Unfortunately, the popularity of women’s soccer is not global, but the growth of it is a determinate factor in how women are viewed that has led to a chance for young girls to grow up in a world more accepting of their dreams and allow women more diverse respect.

When the United States women’s national soccer team first started playing a few decades ago, no one really believed that they would accomplish much. Most people were set on the idea that a woman’s place was definitely not out on a soccer field. However, these women were quick to prove their talent as they won Women’s World Cup titles and Olympic medals one after the other.
