Poor Richard Benjamin Franklin
2,079 words
Although in his Autobiography Benjamin Franklin
claims that at a young age he "became a thorough
Deist" (1359), Franklin saw God as much more than
a blind watchmaker. Among his frequent references
to practicality, reason, and the value of
experimental science, Franklin's metaphysical
beliefs [ 2 ] easily get lost, especially as he
distances himself theologically from colonial
Christian doctrines. It becomes convenient but
incorrect to let Franklin's "virtue" stand apart
from his religious belief...

Karl Marx Matthew Arnold
1,017 words
Many different people have interpreted culture,
which has an impact directly on every living human
in the world today, and no one has been able to
obtain a final, absolute answer. Two of the
premier theorists in the field of psychology, Karl
Marx and Matthew Arnold, have attempted in this
endeavor and have had diverse opinions on this
topic. Although both men defined culture in
different ways, a blend or a middle route of the
two enables us as readers to grasp a greater
knowledge of the meaning ...

A quiet young man is tied up on a fence and beaten
into unconsciousness and later dies. At his
funeral a small cult pickets outside the church
holding signs that say things such as "No Tears
For Queers and "Fags Don't Go To Heaven. Multiple
times before this brutal murder took place
Congress silently condoned this behavior by not
passing a hate crime bill that would have let the
FBI and other federal agencies more thoroughly
investigate the murder. The strong hate mentality

... and is very broad in vocabulary and diction,
which show that Luke was truly well educated. The
Gospel of Luke was written c. 60 A. D. Like
Matthew, Luke begins his self- titled book with
the birth of Jesus. It starts with angels
appearing to Zechariah and then to Mary, telling
them of the upcoming births of their sons. From
Zechariah and Elizabeth would come John the
Baptist, who would prepare the way for Christ and
Mary. Mary would conceive the Holy Spirit and bear
Jesus, the Son of God. Lu...

Matthew 8 5 13 Matthew 9 18 26 Faith
927 words
Purpose: to discover what God has to say about
faith Faith is what the Bible describes in Hebrews
11: 1 as the Substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen. This suggests that
even though we cannot see something like the wind,
we should believe that it is there. The Bible is
probably the best source to discover what faith is
supposed to be. (Hebrews 11: 1) In the book of
Matthew, several examples of faith are given.
Matthew 8: 5 - 13 says, Now when Jesus had entered
Capernaum, ...

Death Penalty Capital Punishment
1,034 words
I believe that the movie Dead Man Walking impacted
my life greatly. It was a very emotional and
moving movie. This was an excellent movie because
it portrayed the feelings of both the families of
the victims and the murder himself. It shows how
much pain and suffering the families had to go
through with all the sadness and hatred against
Matthew Poncelant. The movie also showed how that
the families' hatred did not go away after Matthew
was executed. The greatest emotional part of the
movie was ...

Michael Schudson and Matthew Robinson Thomas
Jefferson once said that people cannot be safe
without information. When the press is free, and
every man is able to read, all is safe. These
words are the best acknowledgement that if
citizens dont know the real information a country

Schudson and Matthew Robinson are political
philosophers who state that the lack of political

Did Jesus Have Brothers and Sisters? -by Tony
Warren When we carefully consider the Biblical
record, the question itself seems quite
ridiculous, because it is so clear even from the
context of many of the scriptures that He did. The
only major religion that chooses to dispute this
is the Roman Catholic religion. Roman Catholicism
dogmatically maintain that following the Lords
birth, Mary continued in her virginity the rest of
her life and never bore any more children. This in
direct contradictio...

Death And Resurrection Jesus Death

Death and Resurrection of Jesus in Matthew The
death resurrection of Jesus Christ as told in the
gospel of Matthew has implications far more than
just a simple religious experience. Throughout the
last three chapters of the gospel, several deep
meanings are discovered which only enhance the
interpretation of the entire writing. These
insights and beliefs represent the historical
aspect, which looks strictly at the facts, the
literary aspect, which views the work as a piece
of literature and the ...

The mission of the church is altogether spiritual.
First, I want to state what the mission of the
church is not. What Its Mission Is Not The mission
of the church is not to be a political

Jesus Christ Divine Nature
5,316 words
The New Testament authors had no qualms about
declaring that Jesus was truly human and telling
us that Jesus committed no sin. Bible passages
such as 2 Corinthians 5: 21, Hebrews 4: 15, 1
Peter 2: 22 and 1 John 3: 5 witness that He
[Jesus] did not give in to temptation, nor violate
the moral standards of God, nor was He
inconsistent with the nature of his character.
That is, Jesus was sinless. It is vital to our
theology that Jesus was sinless. For only if Jesus
was sinless could His death have ...

Hard To Follow Natural Disasters
715 words
The Origin of Satan Elaine begins she assumed that
Jewish and Christian perceptions of invisible
beings had to do mainly with the moralization of
society (Pagals XVI), which brings us to the
ability to interpret events such as illness or
natural disasters as an act of God s will.
Throughout her research Elaine also found
something that she hadn t expected in the
Christian religion. Some Christians attributed
events such as natural disasters not as God s will
but as Satan s doing. Although Satan,...
