... in church. Some are considered first
class, others second class. In nearly every case, the segregation of the
church results from add-ons to the simple, pure gospel of Christ. But when
believers hold on to Christ alone, Their faith and the church will grow.

potent. In Galations chapter 5, verses 1-12, Paul deals very

Following Luke’s account of the sermon, the law of love proceeds the beatitudes. God’s commands concerning love are given for application in our lives (Lk. 6:27-36 Ox.). Loving your enemies is a powerful command of the Lord. When the Lord uses the phrase “love your enemi ...

Hinduism
Number of Words: 3379 / Number of Pages: 13
... It is axiomatic that
no religious idea in India ever dies or is superseded-it is merely combined with
the new ideas that arise in response to it. Hindus are inclined to revere the
divine in every manifestation, whatever it may be, and are doctrinally tolerant,
allowing others - including both Hindus and non-Hindus - whatever beliefs suit
them best. A Hindu may embrace a non-Hindu religion without ceasing to be a
Hindu, and because Hindus are disposed to think synthetically and to regard
other forms of worship, strange gods, and divergent doctrines as inadequate
rather than wrong or objectionable, th ...

Number of Words: 1640 / Number of Pages: 6
... 'I,' according to Buddhist
philosophy, is only a combination of ever-changing physical and mental forces or
energies...." - Walpola Rahula{2}
In order to fully understand the Four Noble Truths, it is necessary to
investigate the Buddhist view of the individual and its makeup. In some
respects, the manner in which Buddhism deals with the mind/body problem is much
more advanced than most religious views, and closer to science's understanding
of the mind and body. Rather than postulating the existence of an eternal soul
with no physical manifestation, the Buddha taught that the person is really a

Alcohol And The Church
Number of Words: 504 / Number of Pages: 2
... I do not abuse it and would
never put myself behind the wheel of a car to take the risk of taking someone
else's life. You don't need to be drunk to cause an accident, it's been proven
in many cases only a few drinks can impair someone's stability. If more thought

there are people starving in the world, when we could help by not converting

not sure most people are aware of this. It is supposedly our main concern to
feed the hungry and shel ...

The battle is said to rage on for 12,000 years until finally Ahriman will fall to Ahura Mazda.
