.... interesting to me because it seems that these Christians were questioning their faith. And it is known that most people in the older times did not question their beliefs out of respect for God and their religion. The major issues of the Conciliar time period were that the people tried to figure out how God could be God the father and Jesus Christ the Son all at the same time. They couldn’t figure out how there could only be one God. Questions of Jesus really being human arose also. The people wondered if His flesh was really flesh, and if His soul was really a human soul. Another question that came to being was that if God was truly human how could He be considered t ....

.... spiritual dimension to the composition of a human being, they differ in many other important respects. For example, Christians tend to believe in one God which rules the universe and human fate, whereas Buddhists do not believe in one God (and do not necessarily believe in any gods at all, or in many, as you wish) and believe that human destiny is individually determined by our past personal actions, thoughts and words (karma) which act as causes of our future happiness and misery. Karma is entirely focused upon individuals -- group karma is impossible as it must relate to one person. Christians believe that the efforts of another person or being (eg. Jesus, Virgin Mar ....

.... the Earth and it^Òs many cycles. We believe that deity is found not only outside to our realm, or plane of existence, but that is found within every living thing and all that support it. Therefore, we attempt to live in harmony with the Earth and each of it’s creatures. Wiccan tend to involve themselves with ecological pursuits. Wicca observe the holidays of Pagan Europe; Eight festivals spaced evenly about the wheel of the year, at the quarters (equinox^Òs and solstices) and the cross-quarters (midpoints between the equinox^Òs and solstices).

He entered with the blood of the goat, which represented his sins-along with the sins of the entire nation. The construction of the Ark was nothing short of the finest piece of artwork on Earth. The Ark began as a select piece of acacia wood or Shittim wood by a man named Bezaleel (Exodus 37). He was the son of Uri’, of the tribe of Judah according to Exodus Chapter thirty-eight, verse twenty-two. The ark measured approximately1.15 meters long, 0.7 meters high, and 0.7 meters tall, which was carried along by long ba ....

.... life should be lived. They wanted to live in a community, so they could worship together as a group instead of being alone. Benedict of Nursia established a rule that was used by most of the monks as a way of life. In this there were three specific vows, they are used to make it easier for monks to be closer to God. They are poverty, chastity, and obedience. Poverty meant that the need for money and material possessions were not needed as a means of worship.

.... and therefore contact with other people was minimal. Morals are hard to develop without much contact with other people and so the religion of these early people was minimal. Then came the development of farming into this time period. Farming brought the people together. Small cities began to develop because the people didn't have to move around as much. With all this closeness, the people developed moral views on what to think about thieves or murderers.

Consequently, the religions of these civilizations were evolved around sacrificial rituals and allegi ....

Crime was widespread and grew day to day. The difference pertaining to this, is the reason the flood was sent. Noah’s story rules that the flood was sent because the earth had become corrupt and filled with violence, (Genisis, 6). The only way to destroy this violence was to drown everyone but the chosen few. These chosen few were hand-picked by God as good people to start a new, more wholesome and obedient civilization. Gilgamesh’s story says the reason for the flood was the volume the people creat ....
