and some kill for unacceptable reasons. Their murder counts range from one person to multiple people at a time. For example, in January 2013, 15-year-old Nehemiah Griego from Albuquerque shot his entire family. He started with his mother, whom he shot in the head because she annoyed him. He then shot all three of his siblings. Then Nehemiah shot his father after…

reason a Christian should ever fight back is if they are using it as protection or defense, whether it is for themselves, others, or even their country. There are multiple examples in scripture of Christians fighting to defend themselves in war. Nehemiah 4:14 says, “After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, ‘Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your…

Organization Structures There are two basic types of organizational structures utilized by business leaders. The vertical organization structure is a top-to-bottom hierarchy where each level of employment and management reports to the level above them.

The horizontal structure has one leader (CEO) with multiple divisions or matrix based managers who equally report directly top management…

The Hebraic worldview is exemplified throughout the narratives of the prophets. By examining the actions and values of the Hebrew people, we can see the progression of their worldview and how it changed over time. The Hebrew worldview is commonly divided into three aspects: Pre-Exilic, Exilic, and Post-Exilic. Each frame for worldview is based upon whether it was before, during, or after Babylonian rule. The Pre-Exilic worldview began with King Saul and continued until Israel was controlled by…

The Persian Empire, orginally know as Elam, throughout the years had a significant impact on the developement of of Mesopotamia.

"tested" have slightly different meanings, yet they all refer to challenges to our faith (Test and Temptations).” Throughout the Bible there were many who were tempted and tested by the craftiness of the devil. But to mention a few, Eve, Abraham, Nehemiah, David, Job, Moses, etc. Throughout our course of study this week Jesus was tempted and tried by Satan, after the Holy Spirit had come upon him and he had been on the mountain fasting and praying for forty days. Jesus at this time was at…

Nehemiah Tynes The theme of the article “The Wild Life of Christian the Lion” and the poem “Wild Home” give us main Ideas about how to treat lions. I think the author of “The Wild Life of Christian the Lion” Tod Olson wants to show us how people treat wild animals all around the world were they don’t belong.

I have never heard of animism before, but upon reading your explanation I can see how the movie “Avatar” fits into its’ definition. Looking at this movie from a Biblical perspective evokes much you can find wrong with the animism view.

Art came to be focused on forms and techniques of…
