Kadelphianism
Number of words: 1058 - Number of pages: 4

.... choices that are made and all actions that are taken. The students here at Texas Christian University are faced with difficult choices each and every day, and are in dire need of a source of higher direction. It is my opinion that a belief in the religion known as “Kadelphianism” serves as a firm basis for self commitment, peer commitment, and social commitment, and provides an excellent example of the correct way to lead one's life. The religion known as Kadelphianism differs from many conventional religions due to the fact that it does not actually affect a student until he/she mak .....

The Reformation Of European Religion
Number of words: 1499 - Number of pages: 6

.... that his spirit was pure and that he would go to heaven; internal distress raged within him about the awful omnipotence of God, his own insignificant existence in comparison, and his apprehensiveness of the devil. His personal problems would not yield to the existing manners of assuring oneself that he/she was headed for heaven such as sacraments, alms, prayer attendance at Mass, and assorted "good works."

Who Was Jesus?
Number of words: 1390 - Number of pages: 6

.... where that kind of love for one another was hard to find because of the hardships inflicted upon the people. I find some conflict in Jesus' actions, however. Jesus never (as far as I know) says to ignore to commandments of God in the Hebrew Scriptures; however, constantly breaks the Sabbath (Matt 12:13 and others), and gives VERY flimsy and unconvincing explanations for it. I am not sure what his message was in those actions. Perhaps he didn't care? In general, Matthew was a good, entertaining story to read, with a very dramatic ending, and great character development (a .....

Number of words: 6252 - Number of pages: 23

.... have refused to have God in their knowledge and thus have become vain in their reasonings and foolish in their philosophy (Romans 1:21,22,28). They do not see the folly (Psalm 14:1) of saying there is no God. The Christian has not only the obligation to "give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you..." (I Peter 3:15), but an obligation to carry the Gospel message to a lost and dying world (Mark 16:15-16, et al.).
