.... a weak creature; unable to protect it's self from the strength of an evil predator. If we are the Lamb, then we must rely on the protection of our Shepherd, God. Why would Blake call us a Lamb then? Aren't we stronger than any other animal upon this earth? I think that God would tell us "No," for it is He who gives us life strength, as Blake says in the next few linesà Gave thee life & bid thee feed, By the stream & o're the mead; Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing wooly bright, What strength could man have without the gifts of God: life, food, clothing. We would .....

.... of Mormon, Doctrine of Covenants, and Pearl of a Great Price do believe that all religions have some amount of truth to them and do good in one form or another, but it is only their religion that is " the only true and living church upon Earth". In 1820 , Mormonism was founded by a teenage Joseph Smith during the 19th century United States religious movement known as the "Second Great Awakening". On April 6, 1830, The Book of Mormon was completed and a new religion was born. Mormonism attracted many people and the firs official home of the Mormons was in Fayette, New York. .....

.... implementing a separation of Church and State. Amendment 1 in the Bill of Rights states the following: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” This Amendment does not even suggest the Separation of Church and State. The phrase, “Establishment of Religion”, means that Congress could not set one Christian religion above another or establish a national church like the Emperors and Kings had done throughout the years. The two phrases, “Establishment of Religion”, and “Separation of Church and State”, are not co .....

.... black and white. The painting is really divided into two separate pictures. One depictng the “good” scene inside the Garden of Eden. The other side depicting the “bad” scence, outside the garden of Eden. Michelangelo splits the picture like this so that he can create the dichotomus world on which his painting will be based. Although the whole theme is the non-dichotomusness of the world he must do this so that people will have something to relate to. Once this has been achieved he can continue to paint in the greyness whick joins the good and the evil. The dichotomus world .....

.... of the other religions of the world. Hopefully this will be an enlightenment on the reincarnation concepts as they apply to Taoism and Buddhism. The goal in Taoism is to achieve tao, to find the way. Tao is the ultimate reality, a presence that existed before the universe was formed and which continues to guide the world and everything in it. Tao is sometimes identified as the Mother, or the source of all things. That source is not a god or a supreme being as with Christians, for Taoism is not monotheistic. The focus is not to worship one god, but instead on co .....

.... It is true that The Bible holds certain truths which would imply a reliable source of information; however, some parts of The Bible are not true at all. 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 .....

.... all sinned and that there is sin in us. Chapter 2 begins with an admonition to not sin, "but if anyone does sin," there is forgiveness in Jesus Christ. Sin in this passage is something within us that we have all at one time acted on, but now, as followers of Christ, must flee from. Chapter 5 brings yet another complication to this whole process. Here in v.16 is brought in the difference between mortal and not-mortal sin. The Johannine community believed that one could intercede for a brother or sister for forgiveness of a sin that is not mortal. The author goes so far as to sa .....

.... the flood was sent because the earth had become corrupt and filled with violence, (Genisis, 6). The only way to destroy this violence was to drown everyone but the chosen few. These chosen few were hand-picked by God as good people to start a new, more wholesome and obedient civilization. Gilgamesh’s story says the reason for the flood was the volume the people created. The noise was intolerable and the gods insisted on ending the racket at once, (Duiker, 20). The singular reason Gilgamesh was spared is that he was informed of the flood by Ea, the water god, through a d .....
