(Dixon, 2009) The numbers are not may up; we have a seriously growing problem. The dwindling of our marriages result in a deteriorating of our families, and if the families flop our society fails. What can we do to protec...
• John\'s Letters (new)
  John\'s first letter was written mainly due to the rise of Gnosticism in his day. Gnostics were teaching that knowledge was superior to virtue. They taught there was no resurrection, that only a select few could understand scripture, and that the incarnation of Christ was impossible. John wrote his letter to emphasize that the incarnation was real and out of concern for the spiritual welfare of the church. In the first chapter, John affirms that Jesus was the Son of God and the “Life.” The ev...

• similiarities and differences of religion
  Comparison Christianity and Hinduism - What are the differences? Hinduism is a religion with many beliefs and practices, so offering a comparison of Christianity and Hinduism is challenging. It would be doing Hinduism an injustice to reduce its theology and philosophies to a scope that would be required to truly offer a comparison with Christianity. However, there are some tenets to Hinduism that are universal to all Hindus. The first difference between Hinduism and Christianity is that ...
• Christianity
  "Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important" (C.S. Lewis). Christianity is a religion based on the life and teaching, in the New Testament, of Jesus. It is a type of religion that only believes in one God. People who follow this religion are called Christians.

• canon
  In previous history of the world "canon" signified properly, "a straight rod," or "a carpenter\'s rule." However in the early stages of Christian religion it was used with a slightly different meaning, denoting a standard of opinion and practice. Later it became a testing rule in art, logic, grammar, and ethics. Of course in modern days when we use the term “canon” we mean -- the restriction of the number of books that compose the sacred volume. (The Canon of Truth) As such it was first u...

• Saint cecilia
  Saint Cecilia is said to have heard heavenly music inside her heart when she was forced to marry the pagan, Valerian. A wealth of music, art and festivals in honor of St. Cecilia has grown from this little bit of information from her biography. She is the acclaimed patron saint of music, especially church music, as well as that of musicians, composers, instrument makers and poets.

Moreover, the statute of Valencia and other statutes had made it illegal for anyone not authorized by the Church to have even the Latin and Greek versions of the of the Bible. The laity therefore had to rely on the Church, government and power...
