We live in a society where times have changed and so have the traditions of many. In this 21st century we have more people open to accepting the beliefs of others, but we still see in some cases how loyalty can fog logical reasoning. Although foggy logical reasoning could be negative their can also be a positive effect in loyal peoples actions. Looking at religion as a whole, we see certain groups of people expressing their faith by committing acts of terrorism, and subordination. In other…

I blinked easily through Samson’s eye. “That would be your question?” “Yes”, said Samson. Trying to be sensitive, I suggested, “It’s not really a matter of life and death though, is it Samson?” He thought for a moment. “It is if you’re Elvis.” The Bible itself is full of people asking God questions. But if you could ask God one question, what would it be? Maybe you’ve already read the contents page of this book and spotted the question you’d most like to ask. If so, let me inspire you to read…

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the similarities and differences between criminal and civil law versus Mosaic Law. According to Plait, P. (2010), “People seem to accept that our laws are based on the morals of the Old Testament laid out in the Commandments.” To begin we must get a clear understanding about what each of them actually mean prior to going into specific details.

They partake in what they are not to, an irresistible part of the human experience, curiosity, in the face of great consequence none the less.…

Within the Bible, the purpose of life is never outright specified. Yet, as a Christian, the Holy Text does provide clues to how a person should live his or her life. It is stated that mankind must “rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth".

away from religion as a whole until his senior year of high school when he went to a Younglife camp and committed his life to Christ. My mother grew up in a very different household. Her family went to and evangelical church every Sunday and held bible studies at their house on Wednesday nights. My parents met each other after graduating from Arizona State and the family they created reflects that of my mothers more than my fathers. We are basically just the stereotypical white Christian family,…
