...impression after reading 1776. Scripture: The Book of Mormon states, beginning in 1Nephi 2:20 that this is a choice land which we live in. I have found over 30 similar references throughout the Book of Mormon. 1. Explain that the Nephites and Jaredites were allowed to inherit this land under one condition: “he that doth possess it shall serve God or be swept off.” (Ether 2:10) a. Many understood this principle and headed the word of the Lord. Many did not. b. We learn from Mormon and Moroni of the great destruction of the Nephites because of their lack to obey the word of the Lord. (Moroni 9:19, part of 22-23) Our country in Modern days 1. God has again established this a choice nation a. People again have honored and dishonored our country 2. I would like to impress upon your minds the sacredness of our country. b. Speaking of the Constitution President Benson said: i. I want to pay tribute to those who laid the foundation of our Republic. I desire to bear testimony concerning one of the most vital principles that makes the work of the founders timeless and inspired. The framers of the Constitution were men raised up by God to establish this foundation of our government, for so the Lord has declared by revelation in these words: “I established the Constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood.” (D&C 101:80) ii. How much blood has...

...believers. During this period those blessed with wealth had clergy and others connected with the church in their pocket. Sins were forgiven at the right price as many bought their way into gods favor. However those honest and true worshipers such as Martin Luther and John Calvin could see through this charade and shined light on an obvious but hidden truth through their writings, namely Luther, Freedom of a Christian, 95 Theses and Calvin’s selections from Articles Concerning Predestination and On the Necessity of Reforming the Church. The bible is a written guide for a Christ fearing man to follow, however society had forgotten the rules and regulations that is their foundation and it is up to them to restore order. Understandably this ruffled a few feathers as those that identified with abusing their power could see what a threat these men imposed by simply saying to move forward we must look back to simpler life. Martin Luther was a firm believer in his faith and did not take lightly to those who claimed to be Christians but did not understand what it is to actually be a Christian. Luther spells out what faith is by saying, “… people have considered Christian faith an easy thing, and not a few have given it a place among the virtues. They do this because they have not experienced it and have never tasted the great strength there is in faith”(Luther, Freedom of a Christian). He then goes on to explain how faith is a theory that can only be felt, however it is such a feeling...

...Bible, it speaks about wisdom and diligence. Along with wisdom and diligence, laziness comes into play. Since we live in a fallen world, we can not have wisdom and diligence without laziness. If we did not have laziness, then we would be living in a world that is more perfect in reality. As Christians, we are blessed by having God's word, so that we can apply the knowledge found in the Bible. On the other hand, non-believers have no such thing as the bible; thus, they try to correct themselves. One place in the Bible that best explains these concepts are found in the Old Testament, from the books of Solomon, especially in Proverbs. Solomon, being the author of the book of Proverbs, was granted the gift of wisdom, because of the covenant that he made with from God, when first became king. When he spoke and wrote about diligence, Solomon used the opportunity to discuss about its opposition, laziness. As I was reading in the Bible, I came upon an illustration, that was given by Solomon, on wisdom and laziness. In his comparison between the two, Solomon sets up wisdom as light and laziness as darkness, “Then I turned my thoughts to consider wisdom, and also madness and folly. What more can the king’s successor do than what has already been done? I saw that wisdom is better than folly, just as light is better than darkness. The wise have eyes in their heads, while the fool walks in the darkness...” (Ecclesiastes 2:12-14a NIV). The first thing that he acknowledges, is that the “wise”...

Even though humanism was considered a Renaissance idea there were many writers in the late Middle Ages that helped create the basis for future humanist. One of the most important writers was Dante, who wrote The Divine Comedy. Some of the Humanistic concepts that he includes in his Inferno are the revival of the classics, putting an emphasis on the divinity of humans, and the desire to...

...heroes who stood out to me were Gilgamesh, and Achilles. Gilgamesh’s greatest fear was death, while Achilles feared his legacy being lost and forgotten. Technically their desires are different, but their journey share many similarities, and in the end, boils down to the same thing. Each man in his own way, both Gilgamesh and Achilles desired immortality above all else. Though immortality takes on very a different meaning for Gilgamesh, as it does for Achilles, every decision as well as all the sacrifices they make, are based on their fear of death and dying. Gilgamesh’s journey for immortality begins with the death of Enkidu. Gilgamesh’s heart breaks when he had to watch his brother die, which made him consider the prospect of his own mortality and inevitable death.(1) Gilgamesh fears his own death so much that he seems to be willing to risk everything including death, for a chance at an immortal life. Gilgamesh does not know what the future holds for him, or whether his journey for immortality will bear fruit. But Achilles on the other hand, was given all the information he needed to make an informed decision before his journey even began. His mother Thetis told him of his fate. If he chose to go to Troy, he would die in in battle and his name would be forever remembered. If he chose not to go to Troy, he would live a long life and have many children who would honor him. But his name would be lost to history.(2) Achilles was a warrior to his very core, no matter what fate would...

...Smith There are several problems in the church that I can see right now. The biggest problem I see is that most Christians have made being a Christian a religious act. You have to do this and you can’t do that and if you don’t you will go to hell. We have made being a Christian long and labor some. Few church members understand the concept of grace. They have forgotten that Jesus just wants be our friend. That being a Christian is not following a bunch of rules but having a relationship with Jesus. The second problem I see is that most seminaries don’t and refuse to ordain women and very few churches have ordained women elders and deacons. Most churches have started doing this practice but the Adventist church hasn’t. During the early church the women carried out the gospel. Even now women make up the majority of the church offices. Most Sabbath school teachers are women. Women are involved with music and in the fellowshipping of the church. If they are involved with so much why couldn’t they choose to be the leader of the church? Here are a few verses to prove my point: In Joel 2:28,29 it says, “After this I will pour out my Spirit on everyone without regard to office or function. You sons and daughters will prophecy; your old men will dream dreams and your young men will see visions. I will pour out my Spirit on my servants, both men and women.” And this is mentioned again in Acts 2:17, 18. In Acts chapter 2 the believers were filled with the Holy Spirit...

...for humanity. This is depicted in Ecclesiastes, as the Teacher feels ambivalent regarding his own achievements and questions whether his strife was for the greater good or if it was futile. therefore, one must find meaning in life. The Teacher fosters this concept by declaring that, in spite of the inevitable death that awaits everyone, those who are living should enjoy their lives accordingly and that “whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.” This bears a great resemblance to the statement that Nietzsche uses in some of his works, “amor fati,” which essentially means that one should embrace life and what it brings, whether positive or negative; Ecclesiastes emphasizes the good and evil present in life, and states that God will ultimately cast judgment upon both the righteous and the...

...way across the desert, the group of men finally saw a village. The group had come up many plans for these black people. The leader of the group walked up to man working on his crops and asked questions. A young British man, who was part of the group have heard these strange people on this country. He heard they were savages and they are polytheism people. He’s hoping that he can share his belief and show they should be civilized people like him. Similarly, the European men were probably had these thoughts. Due to the fact that had these thoughts, they have caused changes. The British colonialization invaded Africa and has caused the African to suffer by destroying their beliefs, treating them in a inhuman way, and made their culture ton fade away. When the British came to Africa, they brought their religion, Christianity, destroying the Africa’s belief. They brought their belief to the indigenous people and told them the “truth” about God. A man was telling an elder, “There are no other...

...a few seconds, we had ceased to be men.”, a quote by Wiesel when the men were given clothes not fitting, such as children’s pants and overly large jackets (Wiesel 37). This statement alone represents Hitler’s goal. By removing dignity, he was removing their own respect for themselves. Once one loses self-respect, why assume respect from anybody else? The loss of dignity created a gateway into their minds, a way to control them mentally. Wiesel’s father is punished unreasonably for asking to use the restroom—yet he accepts this brutality (Wiesel 39). He lost his dignity, now he has no assumption that he should be respected. This is the beginning of Hitler’s dehumanization, for without dignity, they forget that they have the right as men to be respected, it makes them believe they are less than...

...Manners and Chivalry: Dead in Society? Thomas James Composition 1 Mrs. O’Connor 28 November 2013 Abstract Manners and chivalry in society have become a thing of the past. Today’s new technologies and peer pressure and marketing schemes of corporations, combined with lack of parent intervention have negated the skills. From the move of women into the workplace and to their full equality, men have lost their gentleman attitude toward the female species. In combination with lack of proper family time and negative detrimental media output, it has altered the way our youths act in society. Furthermore, turning our whole way of life as it used to be into something where we ask ourselves “do I want to bring a child into it?” Manners and Chivalry: Dead in Society? A glance through history tells of days of women and gentleman and the well-known romantic courtships of history. Evolution of modesty in relationships of past, to the present open sexually explicit relationships displayed on television, have desensitized the worlds youth perspective on moral behavior. Has the gift of technology, and a hectic life’s work schedule, taken the parent away from the home so much, that kids are teaching other kids habits that parents don’t condone? The time has come for society to pull back on the reins on socially and morally unacceptable behaviors. Chivalry, defined by Merriam Webster’s dictionary, states “An honorable and polite way of behaving, especially toward women” (Webster). This is a...

...by Greek city called, Elis. He ran naked on a sanded course in front of thousands of spectators. The course was about 630 feet long "or one stad-from which the word stadium was derived." His victory won him a wreath of olive leaves. That was in 776 BC and this year became very important to later Greek Historians. In 300 BC all time was dated by Olympiads, a time span of four years between the games. The Olympiad began with the first recorded foot race. As far back in Greek time as anyone can remember, the human body was a very beautiful thing. "A body of a man had glory, as well as his mind, that both needed discipline, and by that such discipline men best honored Zeus." From time to time the Greeks held ceremonies of Games in honor of their god Zeus. They held these ceremonies for the areas in which they took place. These places were, Pythian, Isthmian, Nemeam, and of course, Olympian. The Olympian games go back to the time of the first people to live in the valley of Alpheas River. There in Elis, in the western Peloponnesus was Olympia, "the fairest spot in Greece." This land was filled with beauty and snowcapped mountains. This area was a perfect spot for the ceremonies held every four years, for Zeus. In 1875, the most important ruins of Ancient Greece were uncovered. One important ruin that was...
