... or oaths. Wherever we look at people as leaders, they do something to prove they are unfit for this title. Sports figures, politicians, actors, and actresses, have been looked up to as role models and leaders, and many of them have been brought down by their own immoral standards. Some of today's lawyers bend the truth. People, who deserve a life in prison walk free today because of people who twist the facts. Their is a definite similarity between those who have power but do not have moral standards today and Aaron's sons thousands of years ago. In all these years people have not changed. Now people have technology that allows them to break laws even easi ...

... merchant, peasant, and the outcaste. These five major classes are further subdivided into hundreds of other subclasses and since great emphasis is placed on social classes in the Hindu culture it affects the job you hold and the person you marry. The many people among these various castes are still encouraged to live a very religious life marked by certain religious/social stages in life. The Hindu beliefs in stages of life are more religious then the western philosophies of life stages. Hindu’s believe that the earliest stage of life begins around eight years old and last till around twenty, in this time period the person is “laying the religious foundation f ...

... of some means who gave to the church the proceeds from the sale of a piece land, "Barnabas sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet" (Acts 4:36-37). After the stoning of Stephen in Acts 7:54-8:1, the church was persecuted and scattered, "On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. Godly men buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him. But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison" Acts 8:1-3. In Acts 9:26-27, "Saul tries to join the disciples, but they were a ...

... I have combined Malcolm, Anselm, and Descartes’ theories of how God exists. This is it: 1. God is that being that is absolutely perfect and no one more perfect exists. {No one more perfect than God can exist} (Descarte) 2. If God exists, his existence is logically necessary considering he is “all knowing, all powerful, and all good.” {Since he is all knowing, all powerful, and all good he must exist because his powers are unlimited} (Malcolm) 3. Therefore the possibility of conceiving a being than which nothing greater can be conceived entails the logical necessity of the real existence of such a being. (Anselm) 4. Therefore to say that God ...

... holds that there is no immortal soul or external Self that exists in each individual; (Fadiman & Frager,1994:p 545) selflessness is closely connected with impermanence. Dissatisfaction is a larger concept entir ely- it involves the acknowledgment that suffering exists. The world is founded on suffering, (DeSilva, 1991:p 21) and once anything becomes a problem there is bound to be suffering, unsatisfactoriness, or conflict- conflict between our desires and the state of reality. Dissatisfaction is the most difficult characteristic of existence to apply to one's life, as it involves not only the acceptance of this state, but also outlines one on how to treat and cur ...

... false statements. There are times in the Bible and in Biblical history that the prophets themselves are confronted with people doubting the validity of the scripture, and trying to discredit it. "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." Here Timothy is relating a charge given to him by Paul. As a story that is being told, it can be easily inferred that Paul had confronted opposition to the belief that scripture was in fact inspired by God, and therefore valid. Using literary criticism allows us to stay on the surface of wh ...

... as an important factor in establishing a democracy. They also recognized a space of freedom between the government and the people, whereby the government could not force an individual or group to do something they did not want to do. The government is not upholding their part of the constitution. They are trying to tell people that saying prayer in public school is unconstitutional. In fact, prayer in public school is legal, so is prayer in church and prayer in stores etc... . The area which is not legal is when students or teachers pray when engaged in school activities or instruction. This means students or teachers may pray in an informal setting, s ...

... by their faith, not physically, but spiritually. To physically touch or feel something only gives your fingertips the reassurance that it is there. But, what does that do for you? To touch or feel with your heart gives your whole body the reassurance of life and love. To touch or feel with your spirit, it more importatn. It takes your ideas and emotions and makes them your own. Spirituality is your life. It is the one and only, it is the absolute idea that can and will, reassure you of God, life, love and yourself. God is defined as the maker and ruler of the world; Supreme Being. God has at least a million different titles and maker of the world is ...

... system account for the laws of logic. First they are immaterial and universal, and how could anything immaterial and universal be accounted for in a naturalistic (matter only) universe. Second if God has established these laws of reasoning then there would be no atheism. An Atheist wants to believe in laws of logic which are universal in application, but in order to escape the ultimate implications of this idea ( there is a God who imposes universal standards of reason.), the Atheist will try to maintain that the “laws of logic” are merely “ conventions” of general agreement amongst them. This is philosophically non- acceptable, if logic were simply a matter of co ...
