In the Bible, we have the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - the God of Israel, proclaiming His infinite immortality and wisdom, by conversing with His created world through His own Spirit, and even giving His Son for mankind. He has asked mankind to have faith in Him, to accept Him, to seek Him, and walk with Him resulting in eternal life. While the singularity movement (scientist attempting to achieve immortality through technology) is gaining momentum and pushing its own apex upwards though global
always been intrigued by the idea of a “Q” source and yet I am frustrated simultaneously. Perkins’ overview of the principles applied toward a more reverse creation of the “Q” source, using sections from the Synoptic Gospels that hold fast to the “Q” theory, seems to reveal a sound method for a reconstruction project of such magnitude. However, I find myself pausing again and asking simply why, to what end? A reconstructed “Q” source can never hold a high enough scholastic value without a legitimate

Therefore, salvation is found not in the self-admiration of one’s own good deeds, but instead in the humble acceptance of God’s forgiveness and giving oneself over to Christ through the admiration of his work and teachings. Once this relationship with God is at the forefront of life, one’s ability to perceive life in a less selfish manner improves, and living in accordance with the teachings of Jesus, such as viewing
and stop asking Jesus into your heart. Whenever Scripture talks about insurance and salvation, it always talks about in the present of dates. It's the one who believes.

Though many people believed Jesus’ mission was strictly for God’s chosen people, the Jews, the Gospels of Mark portray Jesus as an exorcist and healer of all humankind. In Mark 5, Jesus travels to Gerasa where he meets a Gentile man that is possessed by multiple demons. The demoniac immediately recognizes Jesus’ authority as the Son of God. Jesus easily overcomes the demons who ask that he allow them to enter the swine herd nearby. After allowing the demons to enter the swine, the entire herd

permissible or not. A normative ethical theory explores and explains the difference between what makes right acts right and wrong acts wrong. My normative ethical theory is: An act is right if it honors God and what He has created and wrong if it dishonors God and what He has created. Even though my theory talks about acts, acts are not the way to get to heaven. Jesus is the only way to get to heaven.

First, I believe in the Young Earth Creationist theory. This theory states that ALL life was created by God in six literal (24 hours) days in Genesis 1. The theory says that the earth is young, 6,000 to 12,000 years old. Dr.Thomas G.
