I’m thankful the Holy Spirit kick started me to take this class. The spiritual growth from this class, learning to depend more on the scriptures for revelation of the truth, and that Scripture is Sufficient for every area of my life is very important.

The Bible on Gender Roles The Holy Bible is full of advice on every issue known to humanity. This advice varies in topics from society's functions to foreign policy and even gender roles. Today's western culture is very confused when it comes to gender roles, swinging over the last over 50 years from a male-dominated society to a large portion of the feminist society fighting for female dominance and the disappearance of chivalry.

It seems the first point of any homophobic person’s argument on why being gay is wrong is that “it says so in the bible”. The reason homophobic people try to make this point is because the Bible is a religious staple. Religion is so influential, it dictates the way people think and how they act.

On the contrary, an opposing interpretation asserts that the story of one true ring is inherently anti-pluralist and advocates for religious exclusivism.

This is still present today in cultures all over the world and despite holding different religious beliefs, this superstition is common ground between cultures all over the world. For example, in Chile one must pick up a stone at the same time they make a wish on the shooting star, while in the Philippines you need

You prepare assets, liability, and capital account entries. You analyze financial actions and make suggestions for the company. You’re essentially going through account information all day. Now, just imagine doing all of this but incorporating religious laws into it. Sounds a lot more different than the latter. You now have a lot more to consider when making these financial decisions.

Against that enemy, any hostile action-be it political, military, or based on oil-is considered no more than legitimate vengeance.
