He referenced the passage many times in the speech and went through the acronym multiple times to allow the audience to understand it better. The elements of speeches were also used effectively in the sermon. Pastor Randy had a good tone of voice and rate throughout his speech. He was able to change both his volume and speed of speech to keep the audience’s attention. He also used gestures and movement a great deal throughout the speech. While he didn’t use the podium much, he had a large speaking space and went back and forth throughout the sermon. He also used many hand gestures to get across the points he was trying to make. Examples of his hand gestures was showing how Thomas would feel Jesus’s wounds on his hands and…

For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened,” (Holy Bible, Mathew 7:7-8). I have heard this Bible verse from Matthew many times, and although it’s message left little room for perception, I found myself mirroring Jesus’ Disciple, Thomas, who had to ‘see to believe.’ Sure, I prayed regularly. Sometimes those prayers were answered, and other…
And because of this, there is no definite way to distinguish between each of the perceptions. Many other philosophers have studied this premise, including John Locke and Thomas Hobbes. Thomas Hobbes believes that the biggest key to distinguishing a dream from waking consciousness is the “absurdity”. “An absence of absurdity in waking life”, describes how one may realize a perception is a dream through a perception that is extremely abnormal, where he or she is positive that is not occurring in…
and Physics at the University of Graz where he was first incited by AC current and the implementation of it in a motor and later went on to study philosophy at the University of Prague. [4] As with all great scientific inventions, while on a walk, he thought of an idea to create a brushless AC induction motor, contemplating his first vision of in the sand, sadly the idea that revolutionized the world remained at the mercy of wind currents in Austria.

Each authors address the issue of presentism differently. Each authors talks about past tens and present by presenting the Thomas Jefferson. For example, the first author Douglas Wilson understands the time presentism (historical condition).

The Colonists wanted their independence and during this time they did not have a form of informing everyone in the colonies. The only efficient way of spreading news and opinions was to write a book. Many well-known authors came out of this time period and many of their works are still being talked about and…
might not have catered to what the government wanted, they were revolutionary nonetheless. His first idea of human nature was that at birth all humans are at a blank state, not yet tainted by outside opinions. Locke believed that the natural human state was one of perfect freedom and goodwill. He preferred limited or constitutional monarchy as opposed to absolute monarchy and thought that there was a social contract between a government and its people.

But Washington came first, and Jefferson was third, so someone had to come between…
Human life has long been shaped and susceptible to civil society. John Locke theorizes that man, by nature, is a social animal.

Hobbes, in his writings, took on more of a…
