but it was short lived, for when he died the new Pharaoh overruled the law and

Atonement
<view this essay>.... times. The reason why it is used
so much in Leviticus is that during that time period priest were intercessor's
between the people and God. In the New Revised Standard Concordance, atonement
appears eighty seven times. Out of those eighty seven times, eighty one appear
with the word make or made. This would constitute that an atonement in these
uses would cause the person who prepares the atonement to work at making an

pardon from our sins. The whole bible leads up to the cross and everything
after the cross points back to the cross. Christ was the ultimate and final

Bar Mitzvah
<view this essay>.... politicians are no better, and, on many occasions, even worse.
They believe they can lead this country, but they can't even keep their
moral standards or oaths. Wherever we look at people as leaders, they do
something to prove they are unfit for this title. Sports figures,
politicians, actors, and actresses, have been looked up to as role models
and leaders, and many of them have been brought down by their own immoral
standards. Some of today's lawyers bend the truth. People, who deserve a
life in prison walk free today because of people who twist the facts.
Their is a definite similarity between those who have power but do
not have moral standards tod .....

Good God

prove the existence of God. William Paley once said , “If a man wandered upon a
hill, and discovered a watch; who would question the fact, that the watch was
created by a designer?” It's possible that the statement is true, but a watch
can't be compared to a universe's creation. Paley would later say that the world
must have a designer, meaning a God. The watch of coarse must of been created
by a designer, but the world is totally different. It's more like a carpenter
building a house or building. People can relate more to a building than a
universe, cause it's possible that one can experience .....

Nichiren Shoshu And Buddhism

Nichiren identified with Buddhist saints (Bodhisattvas) who upheld and proclaimed the truths of the Lotus. He endured many hardships because he felt that he had a responsibility to save both Buddhism and Japan, where the doctrine was supposed to be revived spread abroad. Thus he sounded a nationalistic note that was new to Buddhism. More recently in 1930 Tsunesaburo Makiguchi founded the modern sect of Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism. Nichiren sects include the politically powerful Soka Gakkai Lay religious organization, but they have a much smaller following than that of the tru .....

Arianism

27; John, x, 36), while the Fourth Gospel declares Him to be the Word (Logos),
Who in the beginning was with God and was God, by Whom all things were made. A
similar doctrine is laid down by St. Paul, in his undoubtedly genuine Epistles
to the Ephesians, Colossians, and Philippians. It is reiterated in the Letters
of Ignatius, and accounts for Pliny's observation that Christians in their
assemblies chanted a hymn to Christ as God. But the question how the Son was
related to the Father (Himself acknowledged on all hands to be the one Supreme
Deity), gave rise, between the years A. D. 60 an .....

God sent down a spirit to be born his only son, . The divine plan for was that as a child He should lead a hidden, normal life. In Nazareth, quietly grew to maturity, to all appearances just as any other normal boy. But, as he grew and matured, he would start His adventure through life to show people the meaning of life.
