America (US) for five weeks after winning a history competition sponsored by Christian missionaries from the First Church of Christ-Congressional (p. 127). In 2006, Mohamed entered the US with a travel visa that was intended to cover a 5 week stay, but Mohamed never…

Our former 33rd president, Harry S. Truman, once said, "Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices." Harry Truman served as president during WWII, a six year long war where over 405,000 soldiers died. Therefore, he certainly knew how hard our veterans fought for our freedom. "Bravery" and "selfless" are a few words that come to mind when I think of the insane sacrifices and…

The Purpose of the Church The purpose of the church is a question that arises for many Christians today. Why should I go to church? Many may go to church so they can appear to be a “good Christian,” but do they really understand why they are there? In Matthew, the church is said to be “the kingdom.” Hebrews 10:25 says “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—all the more as you see the Day approaching.” This verse not only gives the…

leprosy increased at the same time as cases of heresy. The increase of centralized powers within Europe changes not only the physical landscape, but also the social landscape of the entire region and caused for a rethinking of how society and the church should function.

When we make an appointment with the doctor, we know the exact time, date, doctor name and location that we will go. The Death and Dying time does not have the exactly time. We may notice the sign and symptom of approaching death, the physician and nurse might predict the length of time from the original diagnosis to death time is still inaccurate. When the death time is reached, there is no way to turn a way. The death time comes like a thief. Your body is becoming a corpse. No blood…

The Doctor steals from his patients in order to receive an increase in gold from unjust payments. “Gold stimulates the heart, or so we are told. He therefore had a special love for gold.”(Allen et al 156)The Friar, a man of the church, is supposed to support the congregation. This particular Friar does nothing of the sort. The Friar hears confessions daily, instead of…

The Euthanasia Program or the T4 Program was a project carried out by Nazis during World War One. It was an attempt to eradicate the incurably ill, physically/mentally disabled, emotionally distraught, the elderly, and others the Nazi regime deemed “unfit to live”. Nazis believed that those who could not work were “useless eaters” and did not deserve to live. They believed that by weeding out these individuals, they could clean the Aryan Race, which was the Nazi ideal race. This “master race”…

a rise against the Catholic Church ensued as many influential Christian leaders began to teach against Catholic beliefs. In Germany specifically, a Reformation began in rebellion against the corruption and abuse of the Papacy. The Reformation opposed the catholic practices of collecting debts and the importance that they placed on Saints and icons. Martin Luther, the pivotal leader for the Reformation in Germany, expressed a need for rehabilitation within the church and created a new vision for…

States (Grimes A, 2015). It is a fact that women are jeopardizing their own body and health while trying to end unwanted pregnancies by inducing or looking for dangerous procedures that harmfully affect their bodies (World Health Organization, 2014). Doctor Doh Bit defines abortion as the expulsion of the embryo which simply refers to the termination of the pregnancy; it can be spontaneous or induced. (Dr Doh Bit, 2007). According to Frohwirth & Dauphinee, just a small proportion of women are…
