The Qur’an is the word of God as it was given to Muhammad. Critically assess this statement. The Qur’an is considered the word of God by Muslims.

A question that is often asked regarding the Qur’an is if its contents are recorded as they were once delivered to Muhammad or does

An Eye For An Eye Capital punishment has often been referred to as ‘an eye for an eye’. This idiomatic expression dates back to Mesopotamian times from Hammurabi’s Code. The phrase represents what many view as a harsh sense of justice based on a need for reprisal. What is the real purpose for capital punishment? Many Americans are becoming less and less concerned with using punishment as a deterrent for future crimes and more focused on using it as a means of retribution. In a recent study‚ eighty-eight

Should the words “Under God” be used in the pledge Before I get started let me tell you some history about the Pledge of Allegiance and how it was made. Over 100 years ago‚ when the pledge was created‚ there was no words or reference to God and religion. In 1954‚ during the Cold War‚ congress added the words “Under God” to the pledge of Allegiances to take a way the US system from the atheism of Communist system. Everyone was fine with it back then‚ but it all changes about 15 years ago. In 2002

Not all people who have read the Bible cease to sin; however‚ if people read the Bible and heeded its warning‚ they may
