I volunteered to work with Goodwill Easter Seals of the Gulfcoast. This organization was founded in 1902 by Rev. Edgar J. Helms, an early social innovator and Methodist minister.

After that, the goods were resold or given to individuals who repaired them. This system became successful and resulted in the Goodwill philosophy which stated that “a hand up, not a hand out”.

Arianism is typically considered as a form of Unitarian theology because it puts much stress on the unity of God from the Holy Trinity point of view. The explanation of how three different persons are united in one Godhead is a mystery to most individuals.

Furthermore, gnostic entails seeking a stronger relationship with God that makes every Christian to seek God continuously through a spiritual interaction, for example, prayers (Argyle ...

The Holy Mass started. From the very beginning, it was quite ordinary. The people were singing and the priest with his ministers started the mass with the incense that was burned in the ...

The Differences among Gospels Scholars call Mathew, Mark, and Luke synoptic gospels because these books present the reader with a biography of Jesus from an almost same narrative with close perceptions on Jesus life and ministry. Luke starts by dedicating the gospel of Luke to Theophilus by stating that he will record the life and ministry of Jesus (Ehrman 112). As I read the book of Luke I keep asking myself the validity of Luke. He was not present during Jesus birth but he narrates the story of Jesus explicitly. He even ties a connection between Jesus and John the Baptist, ...
