The women help them with the farming and with the farming they feed themselves and most don’t depend on anything else other than what they grow on their lands. The other aspects that will be spoken in this research paper will be about the Amish Kinships, Their beliefs and Values and how they treat sickness and healings. We are different and do things in other ways that others don’t. The Amish beliefs hold much in common with the Mennonites, from whom they originated. “Many Amish beliefs and customs come from the Ordnung, a set of oral rules for living handed down from generation to generation (Donnermeyer, J, & Friedrich, L., 2006)."
Because of their simple lifestyle, the Amish are deemed as a pastoral society. “The Amish, like other Mennonites and Hutterites, trace their origins to the Anabaptist movement that emerged during the Reformation in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands” (Origins). They first came to America in 1737 in search of religious freedom and settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In this essay, I will explore and identify the primary modes of subsistence of the Amish society. My main focus will target their kinship systems, beliefs and values, and their social organizations.
The people conquered by charlemegne , after being converted to christianty, were taught through the bible of codes that taught right and wrong. It was nesscary for the church to play a role in this education of the people, because only the clergy were educated.

Forgiveness is first recognized in the Bible. It is a way of ending resentment and responding to others in a generously. Forgiveness does not involve forgetting the unjust act that occurred, but it offers mercy to the offender (Magnuson & Enright, 2008). Even though forgiveness is a part of the Church in that it is expressed in God's Word, social scientists such as Smedes (1984) and Worthington and DiBlasio (1990) explored the topic even more in the recent years.
Although a few sacred readings and the form that followers pray are similar in both religions they are also slightly different. For example the most important text in Christianity is The Bible (that consist of The Old Testament and New Testament). Jews however, consider the TaKa’kh their “holy book” (which consist of mostly The Old Testament). When a Jewish prayer is taking place, Hebrew is spoken; when a Christian prays they do it in the language they regularly speak. Furthermore, Christians believe in heaven, hell, and purgatory, in other words, they believe that where they will go after death depends on the way they have executed life.
are strongly in-line with Natural Law. Many Christians adopt deontological positions and think we should act according to God's design or purpose for our lives. They may be less influenced by Aquinas in this, and Protestants tend to be less sure about moral absolutes. However, there is still a strong sense of following rules within most Christian denominations. Aquinas said: “Consequently, law must needs concern itself mainly with the order that is in beatitude.” From this we can see that the Bible played a big part in the development of Natural Law; this proves that Christians make moral decisions through a multiple of different ways.

Beginning in chapter 12 Paul discussed how Christians are to live. In Romans 12:1 Paul urges the Christians: “in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God.” Paul continuously reminds the people to live above reproach and renew their minds so that they do not become part of the world. In the entire book of Romans Paul discusses the topic of how we as Christians should live, but Moo makes a great point in our book of how chapter 12 is a more in depth teaching on this matter. Moo states that "All theology is practical, and all practice, if it is truly Christian, is theological. Paul's gospel is deeply theological, but it is also eminently practical.
