“This host has all fallen,” (Seafarer, 89) the seafarer declares, “the delights have departed; weaklings live on and possess this world.” (Seafarer, 90-91) The wanderer echoes this assertion, considering that “everything is full of hardship in the kingdom of earth; the decree of fate changes the world under the heavens.” (Wanderer, 131-133) Again, these statements are identical to the understanding of the world by Christians; it is broken due to the disobedience of man in Eden.

In opposition to Jan Narveson’s point of view. I agree that in some cases, his ideas do stand and can be applied however, in a particular set of circumstances. On his stance of suing polluters, I can see two main instances where that could be problematic when applied to atmospheric conditions or CO2 emissions. The first being: No one individual, or association can be blamed for the pollution of the atmosphere. There are countless guilty parties when it comes to polluting the atmosphere. It is true that some larger corporations are guiltier than others, and data can be collected to find the guiltier parties, but there are simply to many to hold accountable for this issue. The second, a point Smith brought to surface while arguing Narveson’s point of view, was that, an individual might not be able to afford or lack the resources to challenge large corporations.

I am John Rolfe also known as one of the earliest English colonists and farmers of North America. I was born in 1585. I am the son of John Rolfe and Dorothea Mason. I work as a businessman and a farmer. In June 1609, my wife and I sailed for the New World on a ship called the Sea Venture. This ship held about 500-600 new settlers. The purpose of this convoy was to help those in need in Jamestown, and bring the colony back together. On July 24, we were within 7 days of reaching the colony when a hurricane hit the convoy and badly damaged the Sea Venture. The colonists and I worked as hard as we could to build to new ships to continue on our way. We used Bermuda cedar and as many remains as we could find from the Sea Venture. The two new ships

In the article “Space”, Thomas Tweed tackles the true definition of religious space. Tweed rejects the idea that space is “a preexisting static container isolated from other spaces” or “a void to be filled” (118). Instead, Tweed describes sacred spaces as differentiated, kinetic, and interrelated.

Martin Van Buren once said, “Our country presents on every side the evidences of that continued favor under whose auspices it, has gradually risen from a few feeble and dependent colonies to a prosperous and powerful confederacy.” America wouldn’t have prospered into the powerful confederacy Van Buren describes it to be without the values and ideas of America’s colonial past. America’s present is best understood to be based upon British culture and government. However, colonists fought for freedom from the suffocating British throne, they tolerated religious freedom, and their government was founded on republican views. Therefore, America’s present is constructed of values and ideas opposite of what the British taught.

Too much of the Christian worldview’s attention is focused on reconciling the Bible with science and archaeological discoveries when it should be focused on redemption. The theme of the Bible could be summarized into four categories Creation,

In Kingdom Triangle, J.P. Moreland’s goal is to galvanize and to rouse Christians forward to take a lead against the cultural crisis of our age. In Western society, Postmodernism and Scientific Naturalism have taken root in almost every aspect of our culture. The mass embrace of these worldviews have lead many to a sensate view of reality. One of Moreland’s central points in Kingdom Triangle is that western Christians need to band together to regain intellectual ground, as in today’s society Jesus has lost intellectual authority both inside and outside of the Church. In short, Christians must learn to think.

John F Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, said “ask not what you can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” (Brainyquote.com). When facing the Healthcare Bill that was proposed to repeal and replace ObamaCare, Senator John McCain stepped forward as one of three Republicans to vote no and block the bill from passing through Congress. Despite his recent diagnosis of glioblastoma, McCain returned to the Senate during his treatment in order to vote against this bill-- a decision that isolated himself from his party. Rather than remaining at the hospital and depending on Vice President Mike Pence to take his place, McCain made the brave choice to not only attend the vote while

Reading the Bible can help us answer questions we have about our faith. Personally it provides me with a better understanding of what it means to be Christian. Michael Pennock tells us in his book This is Our Faith that Christianity is more than a set of beliefs; it is a way of living. Today, there are many people who claim to be Christian, however, the truth is they do not act like it. Although I believe the majority of Christians are this way there are many exceptions. A great example of this is St. Francis of Assisi, an Italian preacher, who is one of the most respected figures in history. St. Francis was a great man who lived the way a person created in God’s image should live. He provides
