.... had different belief’s on how their lives are laid out. My family is Christian, my father was raised as a Catholic and my mother was raised as Baptist. My family doesn’t go to church every week, but when we do go we go to a Baptist church. We have also attended Lutheran and Protestant churches with friends. I feel that I have a close relationship with God even though I do not attend church on a regular basis. I was really never told by my parents that everything in life happens for a reason, nor was I told that what happens in life happens because of blind fate, they have always told me to make the best of my life and to go as far .....

.... space shots to avoid problems in establishing the satellite's orbit. The orbit has to be calculated for the life of the satellite to avoid its running into something else in space. Using computers, scientists can tell the exact location of the planets and their moons for years into the future. By the same means, they have been able to backtrack and determine these specific locations in the past. It was during one such search that the extra day appeared. From various accounts of the incident, it appears that something "did not compute." The extra day was just there. There was no computer malfunction; there was no explanation for the inte .....

.... title. Sports figures, politicians, actors, and actresses, have been looked up to as role models and leaders, and many of them have been brought down by their own immoral standards. Some of today's lawyers bend the truth. People, who deserve a life in prison walk free today because of people who twist the facts. Their is a definite similarity between those who have power but do not have moral standards today and Aaron's sons thousands of years ago. In all these years people have not changed. Now people have technology that allows them to break laws even easier than thousands of years ago. Without pressure on law and morals, people .....

.... of the faith. Where salvation is based on peoples faith. Not on peoples efforts. But still every generation is marked by a tendency to classify worshippers by the way the act during worship. Or the way they pray out loud. Or the way the speak 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. That is the basic message of this great book Galations. So simple yet so potent. In Galations chapter 5, verses 1-12, Paul deals ver .....

.... from all worldly ties or attachments, but it is so much more than that. It is the elimination of suffering itself and is also referred to as (Nirvana). It is a state of perfection where the mind has completely transcended the body and the self. It is the point in which one is no longer susceptable to suffering. Only when the candle of suffering has been blow out can one truly reach enlightenment. In order to help lead us toward enlightenment, Buddha created a set of guidlines which he called the Four Noble Truths. THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS: 1. The Truth of misery. 2. The Truth that misery originates within us from craving for pleas .....

.... wrong information. The rulers of the time had spent their entire life learning how to control others so as to increase their personal wealth. They had been consumed by their lust for greed and power. When Jesus Christ came proclaiming the word of God, he was branded a fool by these so called "wise men." Throughout his life, these people attempted to discredit all of his work and teachings. Eventually, he was taken by these rulers and crucified for his so called crimes. "To the world the wisdom of God is folly and weakness, but to those who are being saved, Christ crucified is the power and wisdom of God. (Matera, 94)" When Jesus was c .....

.... minds to stay clear and that it helps to guide them in life by answering the question of what is the meaning of life? And by helping people to discover the key to life which is different for everybody. I believe has a different meaning to everyone, the way they feel about it. The way they think of it. The way they act in their and their beliefs in it. I act in by frequently preying or talking to God. I will on occasions go to church but I feel to truly talk to some one it must be in a close private environment. perhaps for this reason I often spend time alone sorting out my thoughts doing absolutely nothing. Preying I often simply .....

.... having been amazed by them is, quite simply, ludicrous. Other cultures having witnessed this would certainly have offered their own explanations in keeping with their own cultural and religious beliefs. Surely a society existing at the time would have documented this miraculous event. Yet nowhere have such works been found. 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 .....

.... Semele was immediately consumed in flames, for no mortal can look upon a god in his natural state. However, Zeus saved the unborn Dionysus by sewing him up in his thigh, thus incubating him. What happened next is different in every story. Some myths say he lived with a king and queen loyal to Zeus until Hera discovered him, and, in a jealous rage, warped their brains. In this version of the story, Dionysus was turned into a goat by his father in an attempt to hide him from Hera; from then on he had small horns on his head. After he was safe, he went to live with the nymphs, who taught him to make wine. Hera eventually found him agai .....

.... and ADVENTISTS, and members of the CHURCH OF CHRIST, FULL GOSPEL CHURCH, ASSEMBLY OF GOD, and UNITED PENTECOSTAL CHURCH also accept only Baptism and Holy Communion, but refer to them as ordinances, not sacraments. BAPTISTS also believe in these two ordinances, and they very strongly resist the use of the term "sacrament." Though all the Christian denominations practice Baptism, they disagree on when they should do so. ROMAN CATHOLIC, EPISCOPALIAN, LUTHERAN, PRESBYTERIAN, REFORMED, and METHODIST churches baptize both infants and adult converts. Baptism is prior to Confirmation, which typically occurs between the ages of 12 and 16. In the .....
