In other words, why do so many people call themselves Christian but don't show their faith through their actions? You either are or you aren't. There's no in between.

In Revelation, God writes letters to 7 chuches...the loveless church, the persecuted church, the corrupt church, the dead church, the faithful curch, and the lukewarm church. The faithful church, the chuch of Philadelphia(brotherly love in Greek), is the only one that is praised. The lukewam church, on the other hand, is described as being neither cold nor hot, and God will vomit it out because it is lukewarm. I think it's obvious which church America belongs to...my question is why???

If you place a dark brown square between the squares holding the red and blue balls what floor of the structure is that square you've place on? Don't cheat by looking for clues in the text material below the image. That is, unless you're an inveterate cheater.

I am not a great Philosopher, But I waan ask a question, this is for ever one. People are doing many things around the earth. Some are doing well, some are doing badly. Let it be. After all these on one fine second we need to leave the earth. Here my question is what we are going take along with us. Is it $$$$, Love, Relation, Name, Fame, Home, Car…..!!!!! What we are going to take along with us????

I hope if any one have chance to think about this, I hope that human can stop doing minimum some bad things, will start to help others.

I want to know specificly why you believe in what you believe. I asked this question about 7 years ago to five people my mom went to church with and the only answer I got was "read the bible". The five people included; the pastor and wife, two Sunday school couples who taught, and my mom's best friend.

I'm doing a paper on The Republic by Plato, and I used sparknotes to help me understand what was actually going on and it said that Glaucon "describes himself as a companion who is not good for much in an investigation, but can see what he is shown, and may, perhaps, give the answer to a question more fluently than another." and I can't find specifically in the actual book where he does this and I really need to inorder to cite it in my paper. Does anyone know in what book of The Republic, where in that book, or at what point in the diaglogue he says that?

Warning: a number = a being.

1 has 2 and 3 as children.

2 is stronger than 1 and 3 is weaker than 1.

2 kills 3, then 2 has 4 and 5 as children.

4 is stronger than 2 and 5 is weaker than 2.

4 kills 5, then 4 has 6 and 7 as children.

...and so on...

Is it what I am thinking?

Privilege is defined as the inherrent quality of dwelling at the top of the social ladder. In general, one is born into one's privileged group. While often undetectable by those who possess its benefits, privilege reduces the roadblocks that impede achievement and access to resources. Those who do not have the privileged characteristics must work harder just to stay on an even plain.

In the US there is White Privilege, Wealth Privilege, Male Privilege, and (I would suggest) Religious Privilege. What is the ethical responsibility of those who possess such privileges to those who are not born into the privileged class? What ethical response should the un-privileged make to being shut out of jobs and neighborhoods or forced to work unequally hard to gain achievements?

Violence can ethically be justified when it is designed to prevent or respond to violence.

Is violence ethically justifiable, however, to deal with a conflict when there is no expectation or threat of violence from the opponent? What reasons do you have for your position?

sweet wings foated over head
broken from bodies
lain in rich but cold snow
and althought each had beed dead a year
only one was not whole
laying there angles fallen reflected snow
as snow
fingers long , fingers cold but the end,
the ends where cold onyxe glittering white

Soren Kierkegaard has desribed God as "the reason for which we live and die."

When you think of God, what does that word mean to you? Fear, love, condemnation, guilt, happiness?
