A Rhetorical Analysis Of Known By God

Secondly, Stetzer reaches the audience using pathos. He states we should learn to love, worship, represent, and celebrate our God who deserves all loyalty (Stetzer, 2017). By using pathos, the author uses strong words that clearly appeal to emotion and Christians know how important love for God is. This is effective because the targeted audience includes people who know about God and how worship is supposed to be. Another example is when Stetzer expresses “Well, I am deeply offended too-by this statistic.

This ties back to him constantly being judged by the male figures in his life. To tie it all together, Bonner places small quotes saying “If they looked deeper they might have seen God.” The point that she is trying to prove is that if we look into each other we will realize that we are all the same, no judgement at all.

Rhetorical Analysis: Sinners A Puritan pastor in the early 1700s and philosopher, Jonathan Edwards, in his sermon, “Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God”, describes how angry God is towards sinners. Edward’s purpose was to scare sinners and unconverted men with the realities of hell so that they would seek a relationship with God. He adopts an aggravated tone to express to the sinners in his congregation that they should seek redemption because God can send them down to hell at any moment, but instead He gives them another chance. The metaphors and imagery that Edwards use in his sermon for the Great Awakening helps him to describe God’s wrath against sinners to make unsaved people convert back to the original ways of Puritans.

In the novel “A Prayer for Owen Meany”, John Wheelright undergoes a spiritual awakening when Owen Meany is killed. Owen Meany, John’s lifelong best friend, has faith in God and believes himself to be an instrument of God, a belief which John does not share until after Owen’s death.

Given time he would be able to raise an army to reinforce the city.

“The most basic human desire is to feel like you belong. Fitting in is important.” This quotation by Simon Sinek, British/American best-selling author and motivational Ted Talk speaker, embodies the rhetorical appeal that marketers across the world so widely attack. Marketing campaigns target people’s wants and needs to persuade the consumer that they are buying a product that gives them more than any other product. In recent years, car companies have been particularly pushy in utilizing this tactic to convince customers that their car is the highest in quality, most reliable, and most beneficial in building relationships with friends and family.

In “Oedipus the king” translated by David Grene, a dialogue between different characters in which the idea of tone, attitude, and diction is amplified throughout this text using many rhetorical strategies and shifts supporting more emphasis to the text which brings it to life, as it also provides the tools for the audience to live through the text, and live through it’s reality. In the beginning as Oedipus mentions “I pity you, children” in a way it conveys not the the idea of sympathy, but the idea of sharing pain or close emotional feeling; providing the idea that words are often very good vehicles of communication. Oedipus uses children as a hook to grab people’s attention providing a patronizing yet audacious tone. As the text goes on Oedipus questions the priest “Why do you sit here with suppliant crowns?”

Abraham listens to God and takes his son to a mountaintop where he plans to slay his son for the burnt offering. Just before committing the act, an angel of the Lord stops him. Because he did not withhold his son from God, Abraham is promised the same covenant that is talked about in earlier chapters of Genesis.

“The deep truth is that our human suffering need not be an obstacle to the joy and peace we so desire, but can become, instead, the means to it. The great secret of the spiritual life, the life of the Beloved Sons and daughters of God, is that everything we live, be it gladness or sadness, joy or pain, health or illness, can all be part of the journey toward the full realization of our humanity” Henri

I feel that this passage can be relatable to our own God, a Christian God, or any God for that matter that one may believe in. It speaks as our own God has spoken, if we listen to the word we will be rewarded in Heaven or whatever religion you might be. It seems in most religions someone is promised something after you fulfill your duty to them. Whatever request that maybe, we hear it, we do it, we are rewarded. If we do not, we have to suffer whatever fate is brought to

Epistemology – Prof Caitlin Gilson Q – ‘’Outline the three major theories of knowledge in the Theatatus’’ The three types of knowledge discussed in the Theatatus are: knowledge is perception, knowledge is true judgement, and knowledge is true judgement with an account.

When you hear presumption (guessing) is gone V21 “assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus,” - Paul has been talking throughout this letter as if the Ephesians are actually believers/ Christians o I have been doing the same  But there is an IF here isn’t there • You are a Christian if o You heard Him, have been taught in Him, believed in Him, and resolved to follow him  Paul warns believers to "test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves!
