interpretations of this verse throughout the years, these have ranged from illogical to the refined, even now the Church of latter-day Saints (Mormons) in their religious doctrine still continue this practice of baptising for the Dead today. I contend that Paul possibly was not referring to the Church practicing this custom but rather he was talking about other pagan religious practices, in an effort to reinforce the resurrection of Christ and to show how if the lost can believe in this how much…

In the early 1970’s, the world was completely shaken by a cult group known as “The Family”. Manson was born on November 12, 1934 to Kathleen Maddox and Walker Scott, and picked up the Manson surname from his stepfather William Manson.

Luke was a physician, which explains his detailed writing, he was also a travel companion of Paul. It was written between 60 CE to 180 CE. Acts was addressed to Theophilus, and it is for him as well as the Gentiles and the Jews.

started adding videos and different internet sites, but I feel they need to read more. I can do this by incorporating primary source documents, history journals and possibly even historical fiction. I read the picture book version of The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere and my students always get very interested in his ride and want to know more about what was going on during the time period. This activity shows them the importance of the textbook because most of the questions they have can be…

The effects of the destructive conditions that inmates experience range in severity, from infected feet to death. In addition, these problems are not recent occurrences; these complications have been around for over 20 years. By looking at this issue from an ethical…

As children we are raised to always have respect for authority figures, no matter what positon they’re in. An example of this would be the way students respect their teachers in the classroom because of the teachers’ expert power (McCroskey, Richmond 1983). In this case expert power is the student’s perception that the teacher is competent and knowledgeable in all areas of study (McCroskey, Richmond 1983). But when you think about it, how much of this urge to respect our teachers comes from what…

Romans with 1 Peter and also James 2:14-16. Haacker also addresses Romans relationship to Luke’s portrait of Paul in Acts; this is foundational for a student seeking to understand what may appear to be discrepancies between the two texts.
