Plain view doctrine

Mount from Matthew and the Sermon on the Plain from Luke that the salvation of the lowly motif finally jumped off the pages for me. I can understand why the early councils chose to include this gospel, even though Luke’s author admits to using second-hand knowledge. Religion in the broadest sense, for me, has always been rooted in the relations between human beings. The most spiritual individuals I have met understand the relational elements behind the doctrines, creeds, dogmas, etc. of their…

completely focused on this evil world that he lives in. I disagree completely with the premise of McCloskey’s argument. It seems impossible to disregard the proof of God’s design in the world. The apostle Paul says, “For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the…

Rene Descartes published his Meditations back in 1641, eight years after Galileo discovered that the Earth was not the center of the universe but, in fact, the sun was the center. This shook many people’s ideologies on what they knew on religion, their senses, and what it meant to gain knowledge. While Rene Descartes is very well known for his Cogito erg Sum ( I think therefore I am), he also came up with a theory of Substance Dualism. Substance Dualism is Rene Descartes way of explaining the…

context leads quickly into the flood, beginning with God 's observation that both man and beast must be wiped out because man 's wickedness has become very great.” Kline calls the deluge a restructuring, echoed by (Hess & Tsumura, 1994) “It is very plain that the flood is represented not just as a punishment for the sin of the generation of the flood, but a reversal of creation…”…

To be justified one must first repent of their sins with a heart of sorrow and next bear fruit and/or have a lifestyle that is evident of a penitence lifestyle. Today, Evangelical practice and believe the Wesleyans view that justification precedes repentance; unlike the Reformers who believed repentance followed justification. Repentance has the ability to build one to the point where we are able to have justifying faith. In the lecture on Justification, it was…

In July 2012, petitioner Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop (co-petitioner), refused to make a cake for respondents Charlie Craig and David Mullins’ same-sex wedding, citing his religious beliefs. Craig and Mullins did not discuss any details of the cake with Phillips. Masterpiece Cakeshop is a “place of public accommodation” as defined by the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA). On September 4th, 2012, Craig and Mullins each filed a complaint against Phillips with the Colorado…

why are they baptized for them?” 1 Corinthians 15:29. There have been several 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…

networks of ideals, often having completely different conclusions as to how to accomplish day to day activities in practicality. One of the most important quarrels was the two’s views on justice and its essence. To ascertain what justice is to Plato, one must first assess Plato’s…

poetry, play, essays, novels, scientific and historic works in over 21,000 letters and over thousands of books and pamphlets. He spoke freely and boldly for liberties of trade, gender, and religion. He satirically attacked the French and Catholic doctrines of his day in his writings. Hence, got in trouble with French authorities and which resulted in several imprisonment…

Introduction “Every human being of adult years and sound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with his own body” 1 Cardozo J in Schloendorff v Society of New York Hospital “It would be unrealistic to suppose the principle here affirmed will not over time be the subject of incremental and analogical development. At the very least this case shows that where justice and policy demand it a modification of causation principles is not beyond the wit of a modern court.…
