On the other hand, the gospel teaches about being non resistance, and therefore,Christians should not practice self defense. According the commandments, Christians are taught how to defend their neighbor and should use force and even weapons if necessary.This opened a chance for the military to defend the Roman Empire by using force and torture. The pacifists also interrupted the nonresistance, and they rejected non violence and civil disobedience. “If one is struck on the right cheek, turn on the other” (Matt. 5:39).
After understanding the differences and similarities between us and the biblical audience, Christians must next interpret the principles of the passage. In Galatians 5:16–18 the main principle is that if we are led by the spirit, we are not under the law. This means although if Christians disagree on a subject, it does not mean someone is right and wrong. The spirit calls us to live our lives different ways and keeps us from doing from whatever we want. If we believe in Christ we are
For Missouri Synod Lutherans, we are taught to take the bible for what it states and that women shouldn’t be leaders or pastors in our church. Others may disagree but that’s the difference between Christian denominations. Works
A constitutional amendment takes an issue away from the normal process of democracy. However most proposals aren’t inspired by a broad national consensus but instead for political gains, e.g. the day after the Supreme Court ruled flag burning to be protected speech in 1989, the US representative Michael Bilirakis introduced an amendment outlawing desecration of the flag. Amendments to ban flag burning have been introduced in every session of Congress since, spanning more than two decades. Another reason why most proposed amendments fail to pass is the difficulties posed by the very complex amendment process.
Summary: In this article, the reader is informed about how provisional ballots might delay results in close races of the presidential election for days. The reason behind the delays is the new ID laws that are still being challenged in court. The law mandates voters to show identification at the polls this fall. This causes a problem for many people, especially senior citizens. Elders, who are home most of the time, don't see the need in carrying ID, thus they don't own any.
This religion is also different from Christianity because in services there is a minister and deacons that lead the service. In the Christian service they also read the Holy Bible. One of the major differences in the two religions services is that in the Buddhist service they did not take up an offering. In the Christian religion they never go without taking up an offering. When prayer is done in the Christian churches they do not pray down on their knees, it is always standing up at the altar, or either at their seats with their heads bowed.
The Amish and Their Ways Jason Campbell Anthropology 101 September 24, 2012 Anthony Jerry The Amish and Their Ways Envision the Amish people and many things come to mind, horse drawn buggies, to raising a barn and the people being clad in mostly black clothes.

Among the culture of the Amish, the three ideas that will be discussed are the belief structure, gender roles and social organization from a firm belief in the Christian
The town of Hillsboro knows only of a few ideas: religious concepts and the act of ignorantly following, not leading. A town that lives by religion, they see evolutionists as “sinners and infidels (15).” Like Mr. Drummond says, people are allowed to think. However, when did following the ideas of others actually count as thinking for oneself? Any roaming thoughts are shot down by a group effort connected to one individual. The so-called “leaders” of Hillsboro hide behind the Bible and hold themselves up as symbols of society.
The author also states, in scripture fasting involves abstaining from all food, solid or liquid, but not from water (Ibid). Although there are no biblical laws when it comes to fasting, and yet our freedom in the gospel, however does not mean a license it means opportunity (Ibid, 51). According to the author the Bible doesn’t say too fast, it says “when you fast” meaning that Jesus told his disciples to fast, that should be an good indication that all Christian should fast when prompted by the Holy Spirit (Ibid,
Personally, my family, my age, the media, and my education is what has been the most influential when it comes comes to political socialization. My families views on on government are extremely different on both sides because they are both unwilling to listen to the opposing argument.

I believe that it is sad that no one has taken legislative action which leads me to have a mistrust in the branches and how they function.
