Certainly no one wants to go to Hell. So, the Puritans tried to better their lives, and go by rules or "resolutions." They believed if they followed these resolutions, even though God predetermined their fate, they could live a life of good and maybe prove they are meant to go to Heaven. One of the many detailed resolutions they had to follow was "To think much, on all occasions, of my own dying and of the common circumstances which attend death." I certainly would be frightened to think
Lao-Tzu and Today’s American Society There are dozens of tactics that thousands of leaders have tried throughout history to come up with the perfect way which to run a government and a nation. Some leaders and masters think violence is necessary and see power and victory in fighting and winning a war. Others see the importance of peace and agree that there is no need for violence for any matter whatsoever. Twenty-five hundred years ago life was much different and the necessities for the average person varied drastically than those of today. What was cherished could have been a cup of rice, as compared to today where fast pace technology rules the world and the average American cannot go a day without a device to be in constant communication
Swami Vivekananda made a big impact on the revival of Hinduism and said “God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life”. The passage was made simple to understand, and it shows that William Shakespeare was very wrong almost; we were made to worship God and dwell in His absolute presence. Many times people get God’s never ending and unconditional love for them consumed by religion and then religion becomes the sole focus of a person’s life. In John 14:6 Jesus said to him “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” So let your religion become less of a theory or a book and make it more of a love affair with The Creator of everything.
One of God’s greatest desires is to have relationship with His creation, man. He wants nothing more than to be loved and believed. Our love and belief is demonstrated through worship and godly lifestyle. Many people have a form of worship, but with no substance or true understanding of what it is all about. Many minimizes worship simply as the singing of songs, or leaving it up to the worship team to “set the atmosphere”, without any participation from the congregation.
He never went around proclaiming how great he was or what everyone else needed to do, he just told everyone what he believed. And this cause that he believed in inspired others to believe in the same cause and they made it their own. He got his values from his faith. His faith commanded him to love everyone. He adopted a nonviolent approach and was willing to defy laws created by man that he felt were inconsistent with the laws of a higher authority.
Just because we are not in the same continent or country as them, they are still are brothers and the hate mongering and hatred acts towards them are a feeling of unhappiness scene al around the world. We are lucky to be able to worship are god they way we want to without any compromise. We owe most of this to the Crusades and the will power they showed that we are free to love and believe or worship any god we
The Sermon on the Mount is one hundred percent anti retaliation. If someone even does anything evil to you, you’re supposed to turn the other cheek, forgive, and pray for the ones who did you wrong. As a people we have a hard time following this simple rule because we don’t want to let people walk all over us, but apparently that’s the ideal way to live one’s life. The main reasons for this rule of living a moral life is that everyone, righteous or evil, are children of the all mighty God above. “That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” (Matthews 676).
A similar type incident occurred at Jackson State a short while later. As the war dragged on, debate moved off college campuses and into the homes of middle-Americans where sons went off to fight the war came into their home each night on the evening news (Nation of Nations 2005). This made an ever increasing unpopular war even more disliked. Nixon realized that the Vietnam War was a no win war. When increased bombings and military presence failed in Cambodia, Nixon found that peace talks were a way out of the conflict.

Cacambo humbly asked. “What was the religion in El Dorado…we have I believe, the religion of all the world: we worship God night and morning…we do not pray to him, we have nothing to ask of him; he has given us all we need, and we return him thanks without ceasing.” (Voltaire 82). The religion that was being practiced in El Dorado was Deism. The people of El Dorado acknowledged that there was a higher power but they didn’t characterize it. They all believe in God and thank him everyday for what they have but they don’t focus on a type of
