Kadelphianism
Number of Words: 1058 / Number of Pages: 4
... The students here at Texas Christian University are
faced with difficult choices each and every day, and are in dire need of a
source of higher direction. It is my opinion that a belief in the religion
known as “Kadelphianism” serves as a firm basis for self commitment, peer
commitment, and social commitment, and provides an excellent example of the
correct way to lead one's life.
The religion known as Kadelphianism differs from many conventional
religions due to the fact that it does not actually affect a student until
he/she makes the decision to attend Texas Christian University. Upon making

... the German Enlightenment that the seeds of the biblical revolution were being sown. Under the influence of Deism, radical criticism of the fundamental beliefs of Christianity as enshrined in the gospel story of Jesus formed.
Many theories arose pertaining to the belief of Jesus. Apparently, the first scholar to question whether Jesus actually existed was C. F. Dupuis in 1791. The origin of Jesus in a spontaneous, myth making process was asserted by A. Drews. For P. Alfani, Jesus is a projection originating in a social movement of slaves and poor on their way to liberation and in the process of develo ...

Jesus: The First Anarchist

... donations shocks his disciples.
"Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other
contributors to the treasury. For they have contributed from their surplus
wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole
livelihood," says Jesus, teaching us an important lesson, one he stressed
throughout his ministry. Jesus taught that the poor would be raised up, that the
powerful, the bosses as modern day anarchists say, will be layed low. Jesus
talks of the kingdom of God, we today talk of Anarchy.
The gospel of Luke, chapter 12, presents to us a wonderful group o ...

Number of Words: 1739 / Number of Pages: 7
... into having children then less people will do so. Secondly, a rise
in price increases the quantity supplied, the example given is women in the
labour market. Thirdly, competitive markets are more efficient then
monopolistic markets and lead to the diversity of a product. Fourthly, a tax on
the output of a market reduces that output eg the punishment of criminals is a
tax on crime.
Finke and Iannaccone have applied this theory to religious behaviour and
understand that the high degree of religion in America is attributed to the
existence of a free market and therefore competition and diversificat ...

Matthew, Mark, Luke, And John
Number of Words: 562 / Number of Pages: 3
... Luke, the Perean; John, the Judean. John omits most of the Galilean
Ministry, and records visits to Jerusalem that the others omit (Luke 9:51-19:27).
The others omit the Judean Ministry, except the Last Week, which all four cover
rather extensively. The Last Week occupies one-third of Matthew, approximately
one-third of Mark, one-quarter of Luke, and one-half of John. John devotes
seven chapters, about one-third of his book, to Crucifixion Day, sunset to
sunset. Thus all four writers present the one and same Person: the God-Man,
Servant of the Lord, King of Israel, humanity's Redeemer. The sp ...

... of being on trial for ones life. During that trial one
moves from life through death to renewed life. Also discussed in this paper is
Hanukkah, the festival of lights. Hanukkah stands for the temple that burned to
the ground. The Jewish people only had an oil lamp to provide light for six
nights and seven days. Therefore that is why they celebrate Hanukkah for six
nights and seven days. Passover is also discussed. It is a time where Jewish
families are to be fasting, no bread or meat. This last one week. Similar to
the Christian Easter celebration. When a Jewish boy turns, age thirteen into ...

... is a religion of violence, and one notices
when looking at world religion on a whole, one finds that Islam was no
more violent than any other religion. In fact, not only is Islam not a
fundamentally violent philosophy, but we can also see that many other
religions normally considered "non-violent," such as Christianity or
Hinduism, have been spread through bloody conquest. Thus, in searching
for a universal constant of history, we ought not fall into the "fallacy
of abstractions," as Sydney J. Harris keenly puts it, and assume that
because of isolated incidents and conflicts of territorial ambit ...

... located in Jerusalem, which is important to Jews because
it housed the Ark of the Covenant which Jews see as important to them
because it is a symbol of their freedom from slavery and the Covenant God
made with Moses, and allowed Jews to establish their promised land.
Jerusalem is considered by Jews as their holiest city. In 586 B.C.E., the
Babylonian, Nebuchadnezzar II destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple and
exiled the Jews to Babylonia. Fifty years later in 537 B.C.E., Cyrus the
Great of Persia conquered Babylonia and permitted the Jews to return to
Jerusalem and rebuild their Temple. ( Safdie ...

... in the

Your blessings with thanksgiving. Amen.
For some people in the Congress this raises serious questions about when
prayer is or is not appropriate. One of the Representatives from Oklahoma made
this comment in the Congressional Digest on November 30, 1994: Ò It was fine
for Rev. James David Ford to offer this prayer, yet it is a prayer our children
our not allowed to say in schoolÓ.
Since no amendment has been made allowing or prohibiting prayer, many
schools have gone ahead and recited verses from the bible and allowed ...
