I can take no delight in the effusion of human blood; but, if this war should continue i wish to have the most active part.” John Paul was born on July 6, 1747 in Kirkcudbright,Scotland. Young John was the son of a gardener and at the age of 13, he went to sea. He served aboard a merchant ship and move through the ranks.

In the autumn of 1918, after the bloodiest summer in Paul’s wartime experience, Paul is the only living member of his original group of classmates. The war continues to rage, but now that the United States has joined the Allies, Germany’s defeat is inevitable, only a matter of time. In light of the extreme privations suffered by both the German soldiers and the German people, it seems likely that if the war does not end soon, the German people will revolt against their leaders. After inhaling poison gas, Paul is given fourteen days of leave to recuperate.

Paul had to make enough money to pay rent and buy clothes in food for his family. And worked hard in his father’s shop. When the French and Indian War, Paul enlisted in the provincial army
“I have not yet begun to fight.” are the words John Paul Jones said which changed, yet also, made history. Jones was a persistent man, and that lead to how everything changed. When asked by his enemies if he was ready to surrender the fight, John Paul refused and in the end, became victorious from the battle. If John Paul was not as determined and promising as he was before, history may have been different.
One of the most important characters in the entire Bible and narrative of Jesus was John the Baptist. John the Baptist was a cousin of Jesus, and he was born to pave the way for Jesus's coming.

John the Baptist was highly favored with God before he was born.
Other ways in which Catholics worshipped in the church of Saint Paul the Apostle was by stating a prayer over the many artworks featured on the walls and sculptures throughout the church. People would walk over to a statue or painting and kneel before it as a form of prayer and they worshipped those featured in the artworks, many of which were figures important to Christianity. They also worshipped through the many burning candles throughout the church. These candles are called votive candles, or prayer candles and they are usually white or beeswax yellow, and are burned as a votive offering as an act of prayer (Saunders).

The Dead Sea Transform Fault runs near the east shore of the Sea of Galilee. The Golan Heights area is moving northward, with respect to the Sea, at about one inch per five years. It is not a steady movement. The strain builds up over many decades before it is finally released, sending tremors through nearby land and water.

Synoptic Gospels vs. John Over time, avid Bible readers have come across the many divisions present in the four gospels of the New Testament. The gospel of John stands out in many ways from Mark, Matthew and Luke. Much so that they have their own name called the “synoptic gospels”.
BOOK XIV JOHN 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Literally it reads, For thus God loved (aorist tense of agapao) the world with the result He gave (aorist tense) His only Son with the purpose that everyone who is believing in him perishes not (aorist subjunctive middle) but has eternal life (present subjunctive).

You do not obtain eternal life UNLESS you believe and continue for all time to believe in Jesus – this is why the subjunctive mood (something is doubtful) is
“Fides ET ratio” which was written in 1998 by Pope St. John Paul the II to all the bishops to demonstrate the relationship between faith and reason. Pope St. John Paul the II wrote the encyclical to support and at the same time help the old Christian philosophy.

Pope St. John Paul II believed that faith and reason has a lot of interconnection to help
