In comparing the United States Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and Thomas Jefferson’s Letter to the Danbury Baptists, it will be shown that all three of these historical documents relate to one another in some form, especially the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. It is important to note the dates that each document was written, as this has bearing on the relationship between each document. The Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas…
Background I was raised in Union, Mississippi by Larry and Sue Addy and was involved in First Baptist Church of Union. At the age of 17, our youth minister sked me about my relationship with Christ. I had to admit that I did not have one. He lead me to Jesus and I accepted Him as my Lord and Savior. Throughout high school, I was actively involved with our youth group; however, when I started college I began to drift away from the Lord. After graduating from Mississippi State University,…
America. Most, if not all, of these documents are public records of what occurred during these specific times. Three documents, the Declaration of Independence; the Constitution of the United States; and Thomas Jefferson’s Letter to the Danbury Baptists, have all impacted the United States in similar and dissimilar ways. The Declaration of Independence was the first of the three documents written in 1776. When Jamestown was found in 1607, the newfound colonists followed Great Britain’s…
has proven over and over again that unmerited suffering is redemptive. The innocent blood of these little girls may serve as a redemptive force that will bring new light to this dark city. – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr (Hines). The 16th Street Baptist Church bombing not only horrified a city it also informed a nation of the hatred and prejudice that still existed in the south. Many people were nonchalant to the fact that African Americans were treated less than a human being. Others seen it…
The first semester has almost come to an end and today was the last day of clinical. I ended this semester at Baptist Health in Malvern. I was there a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Everyone is so friendly and willing to help. Nothing really interesting happened today, but I did get to see some very interesting patients. One of the very first patients we saw today came in on a stretcher for a one view chest x-ray. The tech brought the patient in to do her x-ray first, then she was…
Since I was raised Catholic, I attended Memorial Baptist Church on Leslie Campbell Avenue in Buies Creek. After attending the 11:00 a.m. service on October 29th, I recognized similarities between this church and that of my childhood as well as differences in the areas of song, prayer, and the focal points of worship, a myriad of which were topics tied into class concepts addressed throughout the semester. Several components mirrored those of Catholicism, but others contrasted my prior…
Here, John the Baptist sets out to prove the supremacy of Jesus to his followers, and to show how vastly superior Christ is to himself. John bases these claims on a few key points, so let’s break them down. First, John tells us that Jesus is superior because he has come “from above,” “from heaven.” The distinction here is that Jesus is “from above”; John is “from the earth.” Second, Jesus is superior to John because of what he speaks about. Since Jesus is “from above,” He speaks of the…
year due to financial reasons. I had to constantly seek The Lord and see what He had in plan for me. By this time, J-Term has already started, and I was not able to return because, I needed to work in order to even attempt to come back to Oklahoma Baptist University. I went back to the high school I graduated from to talk to and help out some athletic trainers who I studied under in my high school years. I forgot how much I really enjoyed taking care of these athelets. The head trainer there…
Upon reading the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution and Thomas Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Baptist, many commonalities can be seen in the wording of the documents and the spirit in which they were written. In all three documents the Framers of the Constitution’s belief in a Biblical worldview is apparent. A Biblical worldview holds that God is the answer to the questions of: what is the origin, nature, and destiny of the cosmos and what is the origin nature, role,…
