Man has conquered many parts of nature‚ but not all of nature. We have not ever been able to control‚ fire (such as lava)‚ or water (such as tsunami)‚ or the earth (such as earthquakes)‚ and there are many more that I have not named. The story “ Mountain of Fire” shows that‚ through a day of fire and destruction. If something hasn’t happened in a long‚ long time we tend to forget it can happen or will happen. That is what happened to the people that were around Mount St. Helens. I mean they even

On the other hand‚ Luther had a different consumption of the word Grace‚ which was‚ “Grace without a price.” A grace that you live a life to honor and glorify God‚ a grace where you know that you don’t need anything in return when you serve others.

Very interesting question. What happens if God decides to wait another thousand years to send his son to fill the prophecy? What if all the Jews decided he was not God’s Son? He dies on the cross invane? Now to the proposed question. Does it really make a difference? No‚ not really‚ they would be like the Jews of today‚ still waiting for the Messiah to come and following the Torah.

But God‚ has worked through me these couple of months saying that “grades don’t define my worth‚ but it’s me who made you wonderfully is what defines you worth.” He has restored my shame and created that into honor.

written about this topic made me stop and think about not only positivity within people‚ but how God helps bring out joy and love through us. Also I was glad to read the Catholic church does not define us by our sins and unjust acts.

The new age religion has also borrowed from naturalism the hope of evolutionary change for Humanity. In comparison to theism and naturalism‚ the New Age places a high value on a person. Theism grounds this into each person being made in the image of God while The New Age consciousness continues to maintain the number of individuals as all
