welfare, counseling, etc, like all socialistic programs, assist those who are poor, handicapped, or otherwise underprivileged. These “social services” have been assigned, by God, to certain groups of people, but never to the government. Throughout Holy Writ, God commands those of his people, who are able, to assist those in need. James 1:27 specifies that “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction.” 1 John 3:17-18 (ESV)…

Nayeon Kim Professor Peggy Lindsey WRIT 1101 8 Oct 2014 Capital Punishment: Fair or Foul One of the hottest topics among these days is “Death Penalty”.

It’s soon revealed in the play that he only plays the fool so that he can seem all the better when he redeems himself, though Feste’s character in Twelfth Night seems content to let the others continue to believe him a fool, with the exception of Viola who sees through his illusion: “[Feste] is wise enough to play the fool, and to do that well craves a kind of wit” (3.1.59).

seriously and have severe punishments for those who don’t. In the Crucible, Mr. Danforth makes it very clear to the children that their laws are based on the bible. He says “Now, children this is a court of law. The law based upon the Bible, and the Bible, writ by Almighty God, forbid the practice of witchcraft, and describes death as the penalty thereof.” (Danforth 1256) The Puritans were very strict and straightforward about religion, and they made it very clear that they do all things by God.…

Congress and presidents have good reasons for favoring this approach that allows Congress to delegate lawmaking discretion to the executive branch without surrendering ultimate control.
