When God is in the garden with Adam, he commands him to not eat fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Adam and Eve go on to break this singular rule and be punished, but not to the extent most would think. Before partaking of the fruit God says that, "the day that you eat of it you shall die"( Genesis 2.17, New Oxford Annotated Bible).

The Restoration Under Charles II Generally, the English people had a great celebration when Charles II returned to the throne in May of 1660.1 Many believed that restoring the monarchy was the only way to secure constitutional rights.

Over the last two hundred years this legacy has been shredded and stained. Our religious freedoms have been taken away by people who have twisted what our country was founded to protect.

Many Good Hearts: Unifying Humans by Human Nature by Alex Prindle I have never experienced space travel, and I probably will never get the chance to have that experience, but one of the common insights that astronauts claim while looking at planet earth from outer space that they cannot see any boundaries between different countries or cultures.
