Hello! In response to your answer about whether or not religious beliefs dictates politics, I notice that people who are close-minded and judgmental are typically conservative Christians; therefore, they viewpoint on a taboo or a controversial issue is generally justified by the teachings of his or her holy book.

“Christopher’s divisive rhetoric would have transformed into flagrant actions – towards me, mind you – if this piece of information was disclosed during our meeting.” Said Larin. “I attempted to promote the integration of the green-emblem boy into our council, but, when that failed, I decided to withhold this information for a more appropriate moment. In terms of your second question, you can rest assured that my mask only prevents the powers of the green-emblem, and no one else.” “Wouldn’t it be logical for each of us to have a similar mask?”
Jonathan Edwards’s “Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God” was a very persuasive sermon in its time for accentuate reasons. The lecture was targeted at an audience of a sinning lifestyle. The people were limited to a small amount of intellectual knowledge on religion. The listeners possessed little opportunity to form other opinions on the matter.

Agyen, I enjoyed reading your discussion post and found your take on the Reformers to be informative and well thought out. I thought Calvin was the most committed to living a biblical life but do disagree that Luther was not committed to biblical Christianity. I feel that he was committed but in ways that weren’t as bold as Calvin. Luther seemed to have less hesitation on making his ideas become reality in his time.

In this passage, Paul agrees that reading literature is necessary for individual improvement and societal advancement. However, she believes that "deep reading" differs from and is more effective than skimming articles on the Internet, using both fact and strong rhetoric to prove her point to be true. First, Paul utilizes the appeal of ethos to convince readers that fiction readers are more empathetic than those who do not read by using studies from Mar and Oatley, distinguished scholars in the field of psychology whom agree with her.

The letter of the Apostle Paul to the churches in Galatia was written to disprove the teachings of the false teacher that came to the people and told them another gospel that was different than the one which Paul preached. In their teachings, these people brought different gospel that meant to take away the freedom that they have received and caused confusion by perverting the Gospel of Christ Jesus. Paul’s purpose in writing this letter is to refute those who manipulate the Christian Gentiles to keep following the Jewish traditions in order to to be justified.
