...first time writing papers since I attended graduate school in 1996. Like the students in the article, I did not receive direct instruction on how to prevent plagiarism. As a graduate level student, I was advised by a professor to not copy information when writing, handed a plagiarism policy and warned of the consequences. That was the extent of it. As a Christian, I am called to live my life in such a way that reflects Jesus in all I do. The Holy Spirit within me helps me do this. While I would not purposely copy someone else’s ideas and present them as my own, I do find myself worrying about unintentional plagiarism in my writing. Do I paraphrase or summarize correctly? Do I cite properly? Are those supposed to be page numbers in parentheses or just the author’s last name and...

...INTRODUCTION This paper was written based on the faith of Christians. Furthermore, the research referenced the Holy Bible as it is the sole basis of Christians for their doctrines and faith. The progression of the essays was written in accordance on how I think the doctrines of Christians were regarded. Section one: Did Jesus claim to be God?, discloses the dissimilar stand for Christians on the true state of Jesus Christ whether His is God or is He a man or is He God and a man at the Same time. Section two: Does the Bible Have Authority, discusses how the Christians were made to accept as true that the Bible is the sole basis for the words of God. Section three: How can we be confident that Jesus is returning?, opens the notion on where we are heading after our journey in this world. DID JESUS CLAIM TO BE GOD? The confusion on the true state of Jesus Christ often disrupts the mind of the believers on choosing their stand. However, the Holy Scriptures have the apparent stand on the issue on how to recognize Jesus Christ. Believers were divided to three groups on their belief on Christ’s true status such as: Jesus Christ is God, Jesus Christ is a man and last of all, Jesus Christ is God and a man at the same time. According to Apostle Paul, Jesus Christ is a man however a man that serves as the lone mediator of man to God (I Timothy 2:5). According to Apostle Peter, Jesus Christ is man approved of God by miracles and wonders and signs (Acts 2:22). Moreover, Apostle...

Introduction Through my research, it is my intent to identify significant points within the history of the Babylion Empire, including its origins, development, expansion, eventual decline, and why it became a focal point of many of the major events of the Old Testament. From the Great Empire of Akkad, Babylon became a major seat of learning, culture, and technology. More than simply a city-state of defiance, and sinful practices, Babylon’s influence, very often viewed through a negative scholarly lens, shaped the history of Asia Minor, Northern Africa, and the world when approached from a biblical standpoint. As such, Babylon remains a critical, powerful nation in relation to its nation-state of Israel, and Old Testament history. Nimrod The Cushite The first nation-state identified within contemporary Biblical literature is the land that is “Ethiopia”, as mentioned...

We will carefully examine each of these problems in hopes of uncovering the truth. There are two major questions to be answered in this paper. Are the historical problems actually problems or just misunderstandings and do these affect the message we received from the book of Daniel? BACKGROUND AND MESSAGE: It is...

...day He was born until the day He died, Jesus was without sin to be a perfect sacrifice. Since, we are born into the world as sinners, a miraculous entrance into the world was required, and that’s why the virgin birth occurred. “For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and to deal with sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, so that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” (Romans 8:3-4) It was said that if Jesus had be the son of Joseph, he wouldn’t have been able to claim the throne of David. Joseph was a descendant of King Jeconiah, which means Jesus would have been cursed. (Jeremiah...

Jeremiah warned that the Lord would was sending the Babylonians to punish Judah. In 605 B.C. , Nebuchadnezzar led the Babylonian army to victory over the Eygptians at Carchemish, establishing control over Syria and northern Israel. Then he marched south and took some exiles including Daniel.1 “The Book of Daniel is not only one of the most intriguing works in the Bible, but it is also filled with timeless truths that are just as relevant to modern believers as they were to those who first heard them.”2 In this research paper we are going to assert that Daniel foresees the antichrist who will appear at the end of the age. There is much controversy about the antichrist. Who is he? Was he Hitler or Mussolini or some other despot that persecuted and...

...Abstract Abortion has been a topic of debate for many centuries and still today is a major topic of debate. Some see abortion as murder of an innocent child, others believe that the fetus is not yet a human therefore can be aborted. Most of the world religions have their own view on abortion, some religious laws allow it while others condemn the act. Abortion in the eyes of religion is a major conflict that is closely related to God and his sole ability to create and destroy life. In this paper I will compare and contrast the positions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam on abortion the methods of approaching abortion and each religions position and also my position with abortion. Abortion and Religion When religious positions on abortion...

...Abortions and Morals versus The Right To Choose Latrice Dixon PHI 103: Informal Logic Professor Victor Reppert 2/7/2012 // . Over the course of history topics have been discussed, debated, and then re-discussed. Some would say can’t they agree to disagree or maybe move on to another topic. The most controversial topic in America history has been and continues to be abortion, the right to choose life or death. This paper will give the argument for and against abortion, the history of abortions, the religious aspects, and the statics of abortions including complications. I am against abortion because of my religious views and I think it is morally wrong to have an abortion. Considering America’s ethics and values, death is morally wrong. This makes the killing of unborn fetuses morally wrong as well. Abortion is not justified because it goes against God’s word, is murder, and, poses risks to the mother. On January 22, 1973, the United States Supreme Court, in a 7-2 decisions, handed down two rulings legalizing abortion in America (http://prolifeaction.org). Prior to these rulings abortion was prohibited in most of the 50 states (http://prolifeaction.org). In two states abortions were allowed New York and California, but various restrictions were in place (http://prolifeaction.org). These restrictions were removed by the 1973 rulings (http://prolifeaction.org). The Supreme Court based its decision on the “right to privacy”, which it claimed was guaranteed...

...The impact of buyer-supplier relationship and purchasing process on the supply chain performance: a conceptual framework Melody J. Hsiao University of Sydney Sharon Purchase University of Western Australia Shams Rahman University of Sydney ABSTRACT Supply chain performance is a rapidly developing area of research. Many companies are trying to find tools for enhancing performance measures in response to turbulent business markets and for efficiently controlling their business activities. Little empirical research has been conducted on the performance of retail supply chain in Taiwan and other Asian countries. Two factors affecting current retail supply chains, buyer-supplier relationships and purchasing processes, and their antecedents that are relevant to this unique cultural environment will be investigated. The objectives of this research are: (1) to identify the determinants affecting the performance of the supply chain at the retail level; (2) to define the antecedents related to each determinant; and (3) to present the conceptual model for this particular context. This research will contribute by presenting a conceptual model for supply chain performance that is relevant to small and mediumsized businesses that predominate Taiwan.
