05 spiritual war - the history of satan - april 2014 - jan egil gulbrandsen
This document discusses the history and nature of spiritual warfare according to Christian theology. It describes how Satan (Lucifer) was originally a high-ranking angel but became prideful and rebelled against God, leading to a war in heaven where he and his followers were defeated and cast out. Some angels are said to have mated with human women, producing giants, and were imprisoned. The text warns that while Jesus defeated Satan, spiritual forces of evil still operate in the world and the end times will resemble Noah's day when evil was rampant. It encourages understanding spiritual warfare and not being ignorant of the enemy's schemes.
Jesus was shining on those who wake up
The document is a compilation of excerpts from various sources discussing Ephesians 5:14, which calls for sinners to "awake" and "arise from the dead." It provides three key points:
1. It describes the sinner's state as being asleep, in darkness, and spiritually dead due to ignorance, sin, and lack of awareness of danger.
2. It issues a call for sinners to awake, be enlightened, and be raised to spiritual life through the ministry of Jesus and the gospel message.
3. It offers the promise that Christ will provide light to guide sinners out of death and into fellowship with God if they heed the call to repent and

This document discusses spiritual warfare between angels and demons. It summarizes that Lucifer, a high-ranking angel, rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven along with 1/3 of the angels. Some angels later had relations with human women, producing giants, and were imprisoned. Satan and demons still operate on earth to deceive people, but Christians have authority over them through Jesus. The world may see increased spiritual darkness as Satan's time grows shorter, so believers must walk in grace while knowing their enemy.
Gen 6 1-9 april 2014
This document discusses spiritual warfare between angels and demons. It summarizes that Lucifer, a high-ranking cherub angel, rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven along with 1/3 of the angels. Some angels also took human wives in ancient times, becoming the first demons. Now, believers face spiritual battles against these fallen angels led by Satan, though Christ has won the ultimate victory. The end times may bring increased demonic activity to oppose God's people and turn people away from Him until Christ returns.

God created all things, including the angels and Lucifer. Lucifer was the most beautiful and wise of God's creations. However, Lucifer became prideful because of his beauty and position, forgetting that everything came from God. Lucifer rebelled against God and convinced one-third of the angels to join him. As a result, Lucifer and the rebellious angels were cast out of heaven down to Earth. Satan now prowls the Earth seeking to tempt humans to rebel against God as well.

Marlowe edited
This document provides a summary of Christopher Marlowe's play Doctor Faustus. It discusses Marlowe's biography and background, as well as key plot points and themes in the play. The play tells the story of the scholar Faustus who makes a pact with the devil, trading his soul for power and knowledge. It follows his adventures and misdeeds until the final scene where his 24 years are up and he is dragged to hell, lamenting the loss of his soul in his vain pursuit of pleasure and knowledge.
Christianity concept in Dr.Faustus
The document discusses several key Christian concepts in the play Dr. Faustus:
(1) Redemption refers to forgiveness from God through repentance, which could save Faustus from damnation.
(2) Damnation means eternal separation from God's love in the awful place of hell, which is Faustus' fate if he dies without repenting.
(3) Salvation involves God's spiritual forgiveness if one realizes their sins and remembers God before death.
(4) The good angel and evil angel on Faustus' shoulders represent his inner conflict and attempt to influence him toward spiritual or sinful paths.
Humanism in Dr.Faustus
The document summarizes humanism in Christopher Marlowe's play "Dr. Faustus". It discusses how the protagonist Dr. Faustus represents the Renaissance spirit through his intense desire for knowledge that leads him to sell his soul to Mephistophilis. While Mephistophilis sometimes shows Faustus conflicting perspectives, the knowledge gained through evil ultimately draws Faustus towards superficiality and sorcery. The document argues that as a human, Faustus had the right to seek knowledge, and questions why God would not want humans to become powerful and knowledgeable. It compares Faustus' humanism to that seen in Hamlet, where intelligence leads characters to bear inner conflicts and pay costs.

Comic scenes of dr. faustus
Comic Scenes of Dr. Faustus (Scene: VI & VII)
Tragedy generally emphasizes human suffering but ends with rigid finality. It also criticizes hubris, self-delusion, and complacency. However, sometimes comic scenes must be included in a tragedy with a dramatic purpose. Dr. Faustus is a tragic play with the mood of dark and serious play, but there were also comic scenes. It is very difficult to hold an audience's attention with hours of serious, deep and emotional content without also having something to lighten the mood. That’s why Marlowe added comic scenes in it. Still, many critics say that Christopher Marlowe did not even write these scenes but instead say that they were written later by other playwrights. Many critics are of the opinion that the comic elements in these scenes are low and vulgar.
The literary term for such comic interludes is known as comic relief. A tragedy is bound to create tension in the mind of the audience and if this tension is not relaxed from time to time, it creates some sort of emotional weakness in the mind of the audience. Hence, comic scenes are a necessity to ease the tension and refresh the mind. There was a pressing demand from the side of Elizabethan audience for such interludes. Hence, playwrights had to introduce such comic scenes as the producers also demanded them for a successful run of the play.
In scene VI and VII, we find only three comic scenes. Science, the beginning of Scene VI, Faustus is alone in his study. Then, Mephistophilis appears and a bond is signed with the blood of Faustus. Mephistophilis gives Faustus a book of magic which contains all the knowledge that Faustus. After that Lucifer orders seven deadly sins (pride, covetousness, wrath, envy, gluttony, sloth and Lechery) to entertain Faustus. Faustus questions each of the seven sins who describe themselves. This situation provides comic relief to the audiences. This scene all along is in a serious tone. But Marlowe is converted the serious scene to comic scene.
At the end of scene VI, Dick and Robin once again provide comic relief. Robin has stolen one of Faustus’ conjuring books and wants to make all the girls in the village dance for him. He also wants to use the book to get drunk. Dick and Robin have no connection with the main theme of the play. But they have importance in this play.
Scene VI, prepares us for Faustus' entry into the comic world by telling us to observe him and Mephistophilis as they stand invisible in the court of the Pope. The Pope is mocked and struck on the head, food is snatched from his hands, eating utensils and serving vessels are dashed to the floor. Bewildered and desperately using his occult powers to save himself from the demon in his presence, the Pope stands duped, busily making the sign of the cross, lacking even the wit of Robin. This scene culminates in the mock incantation of the Friars as they; attempt to appease the ghost "crept out of Purgatory."

It analyzes Snape as a layered and unpredictable character whose true loyalty was unrevealed until his death, when he emerged as an extremely brave and skilled spy who made the ultimate sacrifice. Though initially portrayed as notoriously anti-Harry, Snape's final words to Harry suggest an ability to love due to Harry's resemblance to his mother. The document was submitted by a student named Joshi Jignasha for a class.

The poem is a confessional work by Kamaladas speaking as a woman rebelling against the norms of a patriarchal society in India. She describes being prevented from writing in her own language and the trauma of her sudden arranged marriage as a pubescent girl. The poem depicts the dark side of Indian society, including a passage where the speaker asks for love as a youth but is instead taken by her husband to the bedroom against her will, leaving her feeling beaten though he did not physically beat her. While scholars disagree on the aesthetics, Kamaladas is seen as an important figure who brought bold honesty to Indian literature with her voice.

It discusses the themes of the ambivalence of mastery over one's environment, the necessity of repentance for past sins, and the importance of self-awareness.

Overall, the document presents that Robinson Crusoe contains moral and self-reflective themes beyond just being an adventurous story.
Death of the salesman
Willy Loman, the protagonist of Death of a Salesman, is obsessed with achieving the American Dream of material success but chooses the wrong path, leading to the deterioration of his mental state and ultimately his death by suicide. The modern tragedy explores how Willy's dignity is challenged by his inability to live up to unrealistic ideals of success, portraying the common man as a subject for tragedy in line with Arthur Miller's view that ordinary people can experience downfalls typically reserved for kings in classical tragedies.
