The wheel of law is used to defeat evil actions, thoughts, desires, and ignorance. To put the wheel in motion the Asian societies must produce good action and completely follow the Lord Buddha s teaching. They also believe the Earth is covered by
According to abrahamlincolnonline.org, “New York architect Henry Bacon modeled the memorial in the style of a Greek temple. The classic design features 36 Doric columns outside, symbolizing the states in the Union at Lincoln's death”. Furthermore, the District also has another Rome like arcutecture which is the Jefferson Memorial. This particular memorial is very similar to the Pantheon in Italy, Rome, in difference; I came to realize that Washington D.C has a very strong relation with Roman artifacts when it comes to historical landmarks. I assume that with research I will be able to discover may other buildings and sculptures that have been heavily influenced by ancient history.
In the Rig Veda’s creation myth we encounter the hymn of The Golden Embryo. It is stated that god of all creation, Prajapati who is identical with the Golden Embryo, was born from the primordial waters; “When the high waters came, pregnant with the embryo that is everything, bringing forth fire, he arose from that as the one life’s breath of the gods.” Since most of these myths took place along the geographical area of the Fertile Crescent where the Euphrates and Tigris rivers were most active, water was seen as a primordial factor in the creation and survival of civilization. These myths further reinforced the importance of water through tales of universal creation beginning with
An Nguyen History 103 Theme paper 2 5/12/2009 Religion and Politics in Ancient Laws Throughout the ages of history, code laws were created to keep peace for civilizations. These codes were made with the purpose of attaching the so called “human laws” as close to “heaven laws” as possible no matter which civilization or which religion. Therefore, I want to show the attachment of the political and religious interpretation of the laws by examining the Hammurabi codes and Justinian codes and using the common phenomena method. According to Mesopotamia carvings, the king is commonly the biggest figure in any scene that includes him. So there is no denial to the fact that kings were indeed the figure of God.
This is why God created a universe fit for human life, and why he laid down guidelines for how to live our lives. According to Christianity, each one of us is created for communion with God; God wants to know us, to love us, and to rejoice with us. Examples in the Bible are Proverbs 19: 21 and Ephesians 3: 20. The most basic principle of the Christian moral life is the awareness that every person bears the dignity of being made in the image of God. He has given us an immortal soul and through the gifts of intelligence and reason enables us to understand the order of things established in his creation.

Hermopolis was named so by the Greeks because they identified the city’s chief god, Thoth, with their god Hermes. Although Thoth was the chief god of Hermopolis, the Hermopolitans recognized Amun of the Ogdoad as their primary god of creation. Amun is referred to as the “hidden one” and is described to be “manifested in the sun, the primeval mound (Ta-tenen), and the precreation universe.” [1]. Another interesting myth from the Hermopolitans is that of the egg which created everything. They explain a primordial egg, which hatches all things ever born, and a lotus flower from which the sun god
Scripture is the grid through which believers view existence, truth, sin, salvation, ethics, and evil. This biblical worldview is based on God’s truth and the humanity and the purpose of God in our lives. The Natural World We see the natural world as being created by God and through his words. God has always shown who he was through the creation of himself and mankind. God was one that spoke into existence on everything he foreseen present or future.
35).” God designed every organism and every person; and if this organism is living then God is living in it. God is absolute goodness, which means that every creation of His is good. As Williams says on page 34, “There is indeed a beginning point, but it is the beginning of an active relationship that never stops.

So that means because God is of value, we are of value too.We have to always keep God center. (Exodus 20:3 You shall have no other Gods me.)
