Comfort and Gods Glory Ray Kirby Liberty University In the decision to discuss two topics included within this reflection paper I have been led to discuss two doctrines that are close to all Christians. The comfort of God and the glory of God are the two doctrines that I have focused on over the last several weeks. The comfort of God has touched me at times over the course of my life however‚ never as much as it has over the last year. I wish to praise the glory of God as directed within

I. Introduction Predestination is a Christian doctrine‚ which falls under the larger philosophical rubric of determinism. Calvinists especially adhere to the doctrine of predestination. There are two aspects to the Calvinist belief in predestination. The first declares that God basically has ordained everything that occurs‚ or will occur. In regard to salvation‚ the Calvinist code of predestination is more specific: Scripture teaches that there are certain people – ‘the elect’ – who are chosen

Geometry in everyday life Geometry was thoroughly organized in about 300bc‚ when the Greek mathematician‚ Euclid gathered what was known at the time; added original work of his own and arranged 465 propositions into 13 books‚ called Elements. Geometry was recognized to be not just for mathematicians. Anyone can benefit from the basic learning of geometry‚ which is to follow the lines reasoning. Geometry is one of the oldest sciences and is concerned with questions of shape‚ size and relative

Non-Euclidean geometry is any form of geometry that is based on axioms‚ or postulates‚ different from those of Euclidean geometry. These geometries were developed by mathematicians to find a way to prove Euclid’s fifth postulate as a theorem using his other four postulates. They were not accepted until around the nineteenth century. These geometries are based on a curved plane‚ whether it is elliptic or hyperbolic. There are no parallel lines in non-Euclidean geometry‚ and the angles of triangles

Elliptic geometry (sometimes known as Riemannian geometry) is a non-Euclidean geometry‚ in which‚ given a line L and a point p outside L‚ there exists no line parallel to L passing through p. Elliptic geometry‚ like hyperbolic geometry‚ violates Euclid’s parallel postulate‚ which asserts that there is exactly one line parallel to L passing through p. In elliptic geometry‚ there are no parallel lines at all. Elliptic geometry has other unusual properties. For example‚ the sum of the angles of any

Geometric constructions involve drawing geometric shapes that satisfy certain requirements (onlinemathlearning.com). The main focus in construction is on equidistance and co-linearity. This is done through the use of certain tools namely the compass and the straight edge. It is used to construct angles‚ planes figures and segments. This mathematical skill is applicable in many fields such as architecture‚ engineering and construction just to name a few. Base on the fact that geometric construction

Reflection Paper #1 Introduction: The two topics I’m going to talk about are unconditional election and the gospel. These two topics are really important to me as a follower of Jesus Christ. I’ve learned a lot more about my faith and these topics as well‚ over the past few weeks in this class. I will go in-depth with these topics and back up with scripture‚ how they are biblical and essential to know about in the Christian faith. What is unconditional election?
