To properly label a Christian an evangelical Protestant, one must ask four basic questions and receive an answer that as a whole, evangelical Protestants accept as “correct”. The questions are: “[W]hat must a person do to be saved?[, W]here does religious authority lie?[, W]hat is the church?[,] and [W]hat is the essence of Christian living?” (“Evangelicalism”, Dictionary of Christianity in America) Through answering and receiving the “correct” responses, one should be able to define an evangelical Protestant.

Growing up and going to school at Conquering Word Christian Academy I never was the person to communicate with others in my school; teachers thought I had a problem but I believed that no one clearly understood me for who I was. I was only trying to protect myself from hurt and from people who told lies all the time but then I realized that not only was I lonely without any friends, but I actually was giving off a “leave me alone” facial expression. This made people move away from even trying to be my friend. I wanted to associate with people but thought no one would want to be bothered with me because of my attitude. Always being angry made other students in my class think of me as a careless person, but I was far from that. However, I never knew that my face expression would play a vital role in me not having friends to communicate with; but I knew I had to understand that what I thought was okay and just me, others felt otherwise and it was time for me to show a different side.

A Pagan died and, much to her surprise, found herself at the Pearly Gates facing St. Peter. He walked up to her and said, "Hello, and welcome." She stared at St. Peter in complete confusion. "Wait a minute," she said. "I was supposed to end up in the Summerlands." He smiled. "Ah, you must be one of our Pagan sisters. Follow me, please." Peter gestured for her to follow him down a small path, which went through the gates and down a bit to the left. They walked for a short while, then he stepped back and gestured her forward. Looking past his hand, she saw the verdant fields and forests of her desired Summerlands. She saw people feasting, dancing, and making merry, exactly as

Of the many Christians at work during the 20th century, the three most influential people that I believe will be remembered the most throughout the history of Christianity are Pope John Paul II, Karl Rahner, and Karl Barth. During Pope John Paul II’s pontificate, he had to deal with issues that connected the church to views in the outside world. His first challenge was communism in the Soviet Empire. The communist government of Poland had begun to cause tension between the Catholic Church during an election which led to Poland independence from the Soviet Empire (pg. 448). Several other countries followed this victory in Poland and they eventually overthrew the communism government of the Soviet Empire (pg. 448). John Paul II also had to deal

I disbelieve Mr. Shelby’s sincerity because he said to Tom that all the money could not buy him, but yet he still sells Tom to Mr. Haley. “Why, the fact is, Haley, Tom is a uncommon fellow; he is certainly worth that sum anywhere, steady, honest, capable, manages my whole farm like a clock” (Stowe 3-4). Mr. Shelby is explaining to Mr. Haley that Tom is a great slave, very hardworking and irreplaceable. Mr. Shelby talks to Mr. Haley about how hard of a worker and how honest he is, and then Mr. Shelby turns around and sells Tom even though he told him that no amount of money could sell him. “I was jist eight years old when ole Missis put you into my arms, and you wasn’t a year old.

Friendship is not simply a "relationship", knowing someone, conversing with that person, or dealing with that person in business, school, or in casual acquaintance. True friendship is not just a "relationship", but self-sacrificing love. A friend is also one who supports, sympathizes, and is a person in whom you can confide.
