Christianity
Number of words: 1365 | Number of pages: 5.... who is supposed to be the mouth piece of God cant tell me the answers.
One problem that I have with is their bible. The bible says that a great flood took place to rid the world of sins and sinners. It also says that "even the tallest mountains were covered with water", which means that the water covering the earth was five and a half miles deep. If the earth had ever been covered with water that deep, it would still be covered with water that deep, since there is a finite amount of water on this planet that simply evaporates and falls back to earth as rain. Members of this religion also believe that on can not be a good .....

Number of words: 557 | Number of pages: 3.... devil, coincides with the 11th century practice of Voodoo. As in the movie, when Voodoo was performed the victim would go into convolutions and lose control of movement. They would start to sway, stagger, tremble, pant, sweat, and act wildly. After the spirit would leave the body, they would have no memory of the demon, as did the child in "The Exorcist".
A familiar phrase you might recognize is Abracadabra. This is often heard in magic shows when a magician performs a trick. According to 11th century Scotland, this had meant "take away fear". To ward off demons or spirits, the star of David was used.

God And His Love
Number of words: 463 | Number of pages: 2.... Spirituality is your life. It is the one and only, it is the absolute idea that can and will, reassure you of God, life, love and yourself. God is defined as the maker and ruler of the world; Supreme Being. God has at least a million different titles and maker of the world is one that is underestimated! God is love. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him, shall not perish but have everlasting life.” God is life. He saved us and kept us from our sins. All he asks in return is for us to give the same as he…unconditional love. Acts 17:28 states th .....

Canada's Religion History
Number of words: 1342 | Number of pages: 5.... of approximately one thousand people most of whom were the direct descendants of either French or English colonists. It was an era of tranquility for Canadian Jews as the standard of living was high and the Jews of early Canada were treated well. These early Jewish settlers were considered ‘almost equal’ to their Anglo-Saxon or Catholic counterparts with few restrictions being placed on them and since they were of such a small proportion of Canada’s population they were able to almost completely assimilate in 1850s Canadian society. As a matter of fact, these Jews were barely even noticed. Jews such as Jesse Jos .....

Time's Oldest Debate
Number of words: 1288 | Number of pages: 5.... According to science, life evolved
in the following order: bacterium to fish, fish to various land animals, and
animals to man. Coincidentally or divinely, The Bible states that God said,
"Let the waters teem with fish and other life...let the earth bring forth every
kind of animal...Let us make man" (Genesis 1:20-26). The Bible accurately
depicts the order in which life was established. But how could the primitive
people who wrote The Bible know the order of which life was created without
science to aid them? This evidence would stand to prove that The Bible truly is
the word of God Himself. However, evolutionists would .....

The Mormons
Number of words: 714 | Number of pages: 3.... who migrated from Jerusalem to America.
Smith attracted a small group of followers who settled in Kirtland, Ohio, and
Jackson County, Missouri. Because of persecution, the church moved to northern
Missouri, then to Nauvoo, Illinois. The people of Illinois welcomed the
persecuted Mormons, and Smith began to construct a temple and a hotel there. In
1843, Smith secretly instituted the practice of plural marriage among a group of
his followers. This could be because he himself had 50 wives. The Mormons
lived in relative peace until 1844 when a group became mad about Smith's
practices. They started a newspaper called the "Nauvoo .....

These beliefs preach that an individual should always keep the balance in the universe well and adjusted and not corrupt it in any way. These .....

Christianity
Number of words: 1403 | Number of pages: 6.... In the instance of the resurrection of the saints,
Matthew is the only person to mention this occurence in the Bible. Surely
other first-century Christians would have used this as further proof of
Jesus' divinty. It would fall to reason that Paul and the gospels would
have mentioned it. This is not, however, the case. Nowhere else in the
Bible is this mentioned or even hinted at. These events are then, at best,
highly unlikely to have occured. The fact that Matthew is alone in writing
of the resurrection of the saints leads us to believe that certain writers
of the Bible had differing views on christianity.

Christian Love And Community
Number of words: 2475 | Number of pages: 9.... null and void their own right to membership. Those who violate the personhood of others, especially if this is done persistently as a habit must pay the ultimate penalty. This punishment must be inflicted for the sake of maintaining the community whose foundation has been violated. We can debate whether some non-lethal alternative is a fitting substitute for the death penalty. But the standard of judgment is whether the punishment fits the crime and sufficiently honors the nature of moral community.
