Tesis sobre el tema "Ten Commandments"

Architectural study deals with the design of a new synagogue in Frýdku-Místku, located on the site of the original synagogue from 19th centruy, which was burnt by fanaticized Germans in 1939 and then demolished. Nowadays, it is an undeveloped area without any historical significant. There are other functions beside the building of synagogue – mikveh (ritual bath) and its access tunnel, the jewish community administration and kosher restaurant with two shops. The design concept works with the symbolish of the Star of David, triangles‘ intersection. The synagogue depicts the Mount Sinai, where the Ten Commandments were received.

Due to the lack of comparative studies referring to so-called values among the Jewish and Christian faith, the following study examines various interpretations of the Decalogue in the Hebrew Bible. These expositions originate from the Roman Catholic, Jewish and Reformed Evangelical tradition. Since the Ten Commandments have been considered influential in several traditions, this study attempts to identify their authority, purpose and status based on the writings of three different theologians. The analysis does not take the whole tradition itself into account, but seeks to discover diverse perspectives, in order to promote a nuanced result. Hence, the results neither speak for the entire denomination nor its believers. Furthermore, the approach of the study is an analysis of ideas, a commonly used method regarding statements of all kind, principally political and religious commentaries. The method endeavors to describe in order to supply further information not explicitly mentioned by the material itself. Thus, the analysis proceeds from theoretical perspectives such as the Euthyphro dialogue, Biblical hermeneutics and covenant. The theologians agree that morality originates from God because of God’s will. Yet there is disagreement regarding its purpose among all three authors. The Roman Catholic and Jewish author emphasize the covenant as a reason to honor the Ten Commandments and have a liberal approach combined with a historical-critical perspective of the Bible, whereas the Reformed Evangelical author expresses a conservative view, equating the Bible with the actual word of God. The Decalogue enjoys a higher status among the Christian authors, although the Roman Catholic author values the Golden Rule significantly more. The issue regarding whether the Decalogue ought to be treated as being above every other law remains unclear based on the material, but is highly more focused than other commandments in the Hebrew Bible. Definitively the study identifies uniting differences from a wide range of beliefs in the theological area.

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a personagem Moisés, numa vertente comparatista, com base nas informações fornecidas pelo filme Os Dez Mandamentos, na versão de 1956, dirigido pelo produtor e diretor Cecil B. DeMille, alicerçado nos textos bíblicos e na historiografia, considerando a sua vida desde o seu nascimento à libertação dos filhos de Israel da escravidão do Egito. Pretendemos ainda, tratar das questões tais como: a transposição e adaptação dos textos bíblicos para a Planificação, découpage (Jorge, 2011:86), com destaque sobre a relação entre a arte literária e a cinematográfica, os conceitos teóricos dos textos bíblicos e do filme, salientando os Dez Mandamentos bíblicos, e a presença do dialogismo, da intertextualidade e da releitura no contexto da narrativa bíblica e fílmica. Finalmente, o presente estudo busca analisar o filme Os Dez Mandamentos, 1956, de Cecil B. DeMille; ABSTRAT: The objective set for this work is to analyze the character Moses, in a comparative way, based on the informations provided by the 1956 version of the The Ten Commandments movie, directed by the producer and director Cecil B. DeMille, by the biblical texts and by the historiography, considering his life from his birth to the liberation of the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage. It is also the purpose for this paper to deal with issues such as the transposition and adaptation from the biblical texts to the shooting-script, découpage (Jorge, 2011:86) highlighting the link between literary and filmic art, the theoretical concepts of the biblical texts and the movie focusing on the biblical Ten Commandments, and the presence of dialogism, intertextuality and rereading in the context of the biblical and filmic narrative. In conclusion, this research aims to analyze The Ten Commandments film 1956 production from Cecil B. DeMille.

This study discusses true and false conversions and the use of the Ten Commandments in evangelism, viewed from the starting point of a Christian ethical perspective. The use of the Ten Commandments in Evangelism is affirmed by Jesus Himself and also by Jesus’ apostles after His ascension to heaven. The validity of the Ten Commandments is eternal. The modern evangelist has been caught by the snares of Satan with regards to the Ten Commandments. The power of the Ten Commandments in evoking a true sense of sin is being undermined by a sly plan of Satan that causes enmity between the Law and grace. It has basically brought about two schools of thought: those who use the Ten Commandments, and those who reject it. Those who use the Ten Commandments, however, run the risk of using the law in an illegitimate way, and this is termed as “legalism”. On the other hand, those who reject the Ten Commandments are guilty of “Antinomianism”, that literally means “anti-law”. Consequently, all the underlying principles, which God had laid down for the use of the Ten Commandments, are being blatantly disregarded. Instead, the workings and efficacy of the Ten Commandments are exclusively replaced by love and grace. False conversions are the result in both cases. Satan achieves his goal. In opposition to this is the legitimate use of the Ten Commandments as the only means of preventing false conversions. God designed the Ten Commandments in such a way as to firstly reveal His holiness as the only standard that a sinner must meet. As the standard requires absolute holiness and perfection, it brings about a sense of sin. This is because no person can fulfill the standard. Without a true sense of sin, no person can be saved. Within the framework of the Ten Commandments, evidence of the person’s love towards God is comprised through the upholding of the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments cannot save anyone, but if the person loves Jesus, they will keep His commandments; a sign of true conversion. The goal of this study was to determine whether any guidelines can be composed to help Evangelists prevent or minimize false conversions, in a Biblically justified manner. The research indicates that without the use of the Ten Commandments during evangelism, many false conversions will ensue. The conclusion of this research is that false conversions can be prevented or minimized through the legitimate use of the Ten Commandments during evangelism.
Thesis (PhD (Ethics))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012

This thesis undertakes to investigate the influence of the sixth commandment on Paul’s ethics in Romans and 1 Corinthians. Our primary methodology is to develop a lens for reading Paul from a study of the murder commandment in the Scriptures and ancient Jewish writings. This involves an appreciation for the intertextual nature of the Scriptures and Jewish writings. We also seek to recognise the implications of Paul’s Second Temple reading context and his apostolic writing context. A preliminary question, however, must first be resolved before our research question can be meaningful: does the sixth commandment refer to killing or murdering? We conclude with an overall analysis of the influence of the murder commandment on Paul’s ethics in Romans and 1 Corinthians.

Trabalho de Projeto do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina apresentado à Faculdade de Medicina
AbstractBackground: The “Ten Commandments for Patient-Centred Treatment” explores and advocates a different approach to the pathology based therapy.Objective: To ascertain the agreement with the “Ten Commandments for Patient-Centred Treatment” by physicians enlisted in the Central Regional Section of the Portuguese Medical Council, exploring differences by age group, gender and medical speciality.Methodology: Observational study in a convenience sample that answered an on-line questionnaire, carried out in September 2016 with emails sent back every Friday to remnant non-responders. The English wording was translated to Portuguese, a questionnaire with a four grade answer was created and its feasibility determined. Variables as gender, age group (≤35 years, ≥ 36 and ≤ 55 years and ≥ 56 years) and medical specialty (General Practice/Family Medicine, Medical and Medico-surgical) were considered. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed. Results: 811 doctors participated (calculated sample size of n=366), ≤35 years n=203, ≥ 36 and ≤ 55 years n=217 and ≥ 56 years n= 373, women n=391 (49,2%), from General Practice/Family Medicine n=301, from a Medical specialty n=303 and from a Medico-surgical specialty n=173. By medical specialty and for commandment 1 there is higher prevalence of the “Disagree/ Completely Disagree” in the General Practice/Family Medicine specialty (p<0,001). By gender and for commandment 1 women vs men doctors “Disagree/ Completely Disagree” proportion of 11,7% vs 6,4% (p=0,003). For the younger age group (≤35) for Commandment 1 there is a lower proportion of “Disagree/ Completely Disagree” (p=0,016), whereas for Commandment 4 (p=0,007), for Commandment 6 (p=0,001), for Commandment 7 (p=0,001) and for Commandment 8 (p=0,020) there is a higher proportion of “Disagree/ Completely Disagree” in those aged more or equal to 56.Conclusions: There is vast agreement with the “Ten Commandments for Patient-Centred Treatment” by physicians enlisted in the Portuguese Medical Council, Central Regional Section. For Commandments 1, 3 and 6 the proportion of “Disagree/ Completely Disagree” is higher than for the remaining. There’s a need for future investigations to elicit the present results.

1 Abstract The diploma thesis handles the theme of didactics of Christian ethics as a school subject with a focus on four-year grammar schools and secondary schools. The syllabus of the thesis is organized the way to give a systematic overview of the issue, therefore the first chapter is dedicated to define the basic concepts which are the gateway for understanding what the Christian ethics is and what it is pursuing. The following chapters give a comprehensive view of the subject didactics as a school subject named Christian Ethics. The fifth chapter presents the Decalogue as the basic methodological text of catechesis, which is also an explicit text for Christian ethics. Each of the commandments is demonstrated by its overlapping to the present as we can see on possible ethical topics for teaching. The final six chapter presents a model of three lessons that can be used within the lectures. The chosen topics represent the specific areas which I currently see as problematic, specifically The value orientation of a person; Respect for nature; Partnership and sexuality from the point of view of Christianity.

The thesis consists of two main parts. The first part focuses on the ethical values in the Old and New Testament. At the beginning basic concepts are defined, that are essential for the thesis and are related to ethics and moral evaluation. The first part centres on the important events that shaped society and that come from The Bible (Creation, The Ten Commandments, God's contracts with the nation of Israel, the life of Jesus Christ, the parables, The Sermon on the Mount and The Lord's Prayer). The thesis also compares these values with the philosophy of Socrates and then with the approach, that Jan Amos Comenius offered in his work. The second part analyzes views of Christian ethical values today : whether there is a need to know these values, why we should strive for their observance, whether they are current and whether people (Christians and atheists ) honor and follow them. On the basis of the second section I conclude, that our culture is formed under the strong influence of Christianity, these values are still held and are considered important for the functioning of human relationships and society. Although it may seem that these values are not held today, they are still an ideal within our culture and people are trying to achieve them in their lifes.

The work deals with exegetic-ethical analysis of sexual motives in the Pentateuch. It aims to analyse as well as to systematize the issue of human sexuality in the Five Books of Moses, and to create a compact illustration of the problem. The major part of the work includes an analysis of sexual motives in significant legal regulations - the Ten Commandments, the Covenant Code, the Holiness Code and the Deuteronomic Code. However, the other parts of the Pentateuch must not be left out of consideration and are covered in a separate chapter. The final part tries to synthesize the obtained findings and evaluate systematically the basic sexual questions appearing in the Five Books of Moses.

This paper focuses on the possibilities of religious-pedagogy developing moral actions of the mentally handicapped mainly through the Ten Commandments. The theoretical part defines the basic terminology, divisions and specifications of special pedagogy, psychopedia, didactics of mental retardation, religious pedagogy, didactics of ethic education and Christian moral. The practical part deals with methodical procedures of religious education compiled into a didactic project, specifically didactic applications. The basics origin from the Ten Commandments as characterized in KKC. With regards to development psychology, didactics of mental retardation and the evaluation of the didactic project, the most suitable possibilities of religious-pedagogy developing moral actions seems to be the religious pedagogy of integrated education of Franz Kett and Esther Kaufmann.

Bibliography: leaves 289-298
Source-criticism of the Pentateuch suggests that the priests (Source P) alone authored the Holiness Code – the premise being that Source P forms one religious, literate and elite group of several. Through the endeavor to redefine Israelite identity during the Neo-Babylonian Empire of 626–539 BCE and the Achaemenid Persian Empire of 550–330 BCE, various ideologies of Israelite identity were produced by various religious, literate and elite groups. Possibly, the Holiness Code functions as the compromise reached between two such groups, these being: the Shaphanites, and the Zadokites. Moreover, the Holiness Code functions as the basis for the agreed identity of Israel as seen by the Shaphanites and the Zadokites. Specifically, in Leviticus 19:1-19a – as being the Levitical decalogue of the Holiness Code, and which forms the emphasis of this thesis – both Shaphanite and Zadokite ideologies are expressed therein. The Shaphanite ideology is expressed through the Mosaic tradition: i.e., through the Law; and the Zadokite ideology is expressed through the Aaronide tradition: i.e., through the Cult. In the debate between the supremacy of the Law, or the Cult – i.e., Moses or Aaron – the ancient Near Eastern convention of the ‘rivalry between brothers’ is masterfully negotiated in Leviticus 19:1-19a.
