Sex Is For Marriage Only
Words: 1829 - Pages: 7.... be an act that is enjoyed within the context of the commitment of marriage, and only within the context of marriage. In this one verse there are two very important principles:
Marriage is to be the ONLY context for sexual intimacy. Eve was Adam's wife - not his girlfriend, his mistress, or a casual acquaintance. He was married to her.
Children are to be conceived ONLY within the sexual intimacy of marriage. When Adam and Eve had sex, they created a baby. Now certainly that doesn't mean that the first time they had sex they created Cain. It means that the outcome of their sexual relationship was a child.

Words: 1847 - Pages: 7.... The museum also included
many other interesting exhibits that did not have to do with anthropology like
the Dinosaur Hall. All these exhibits in the museum had detailed information on

I And Ii Thessalonians
Words: 881 - Pages: 4.... differ between the two, it shows that Paul may not have written II Thessalonians. An example of this is noticeable in II Thessalonians 1:3 and 2:13. The verses have the phrase, "we must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters…" (NRSV) which cannot be found in any other works by Paul and they seem to be uncharacteristic of him. The phrase, "shaken in mind", is in 2:2 (NRSV) and is another example of something that is not in any other part of Paul's writings. The style of II Thessalonians seems different than Paul’s usual means or writing. This letter is written in a very formal way as if to people that the au .....

The American Dream 3
Words: 707 - Pages: 3.... a favorable atmosphere. The American society expects and deserves honesty from their appointed political figures. We have endured the Iran Contra scandal during the Reagan administration. Currently, our President has had extramarital affairs with government employees as well as various other women. The Clinton administration has had us suffer through Whitewater, Travelgate, and the seemingly unnecessary bombing of Yugoslavia. In order for our youth to grow up with respect for America, as well as earn respect from other nations, scenarios such as these must not occur in the future. Our democracy was not founded on false principles, and .....

Alcohol 2

During prohibition, the cost of this illegal alcohol skyrocketed costing people hundreds of dollars. I know what causes unsatisfactory mental health for me and that is having less money in my pocket. If this was such a good idea, why did Congress reverse it?
Sure there will always be irresponsible people. And absolutely the irresponsible use of alcohol has produced disastrous results. But look at me. I’m a responsible person. When I drink I always make sure that I have a designated driver. Why should I be punished by the few .....

What Is Radar
Words: 2203 - Pages: 9.... can carry radar to detect icebergs, other ships, and
aircraft.
Radar can do more than find a target. It can tell how fast and in
which direction the target is moving. This information can be used to
direct the firing of guns and missiles to protect a country against attack.
In peacetime, radar can help navigate ships, land planes in a fog, and
guide astronauts. Radar can help control street traffic and assist the
police in finding speeding automobiles.
Radar sets come in many sizes. A small set, made for use in a guided
missile, is not much larger than a coffeepot. The larger sets used to study
distant planets may oupy a .....
