6 Is there a legal duty to go to the rescue of persons in need of assistance? Should there be? Civil law codes have a much stronger legislated relationship to moral obligations than common law.

By Christology standards and ideals, Jesus is more of an idea, a way of life than an actual human being.

special education school. During that time, he was calling the other kids at the special education school retarded or disturbed kids. He was becoming prideful of himself and doing what the other kids did to him at his old school.
