right. Any belief you hold should be because you believe it is true. God does not want you to falsely worship Him, second-guessing all the way if any of it is true. I challenge that God is so much bigger than you ever imagined. If He could send the Holy Spirit to show me my error, save me, and transform my heart with desires and love which surpasses anything I ever imagined, I guarantee He is bigger than the God you believe is holding a rule book and destroying His creation. I know this has…

ministerial office; the nature of the work makes pastors relatives of Christ and the flock. Moreover, pastors should be motivated to oversee the flock because the Holy Ghost directed the ordainers to select those suited for the office of pastor.

He argues that from the beginning of time, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were one in the same, and even if someone were to “travel ever so far backward you cannot get beyond the was, and however you may strain and strive to see…

categorizes death. But can we categorize the aspects of death into one group? When one thinks of human death, it is easy to perceive it in a negative light. But with the help of the three poems "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" by Dylan Thomas, "Holy Sonnet X: Death Be Not Proud" by John Donne, and "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" by Emily Dickinson, these selections highlight how death can have different perspectives, as well as various attitudes.
