When you take a look around or start asking question of your bible scholars or even your casual readers of the Bible you find out people don’t even realize there is a Synoptic problem. There seems to be many different proposed solutions that will fix the problem. Some accepted and some of which has very little support at all. When you read you see that there are different scriptures in the bible that shows a level of agreement in the content of reading, and seems as if the authors have borrowed each other’s writings’ or used the same materials in research they had in common. However, even though they agree there are so many differences that are puzzling. Some of differences are in the same passage of scripture but yet show similarities. So what does the Synoptic problem look like in text in the bible? Has the problem been address and how was it looked at and dealt with throughout history of the church? Nevertheless, you have scholars on both sides of the argument who continue to research...

...to the Webster’s online dictionary rape can be defined as, “The crime of forcing another person to submit to sex acts, especially sexual intercourse (Merriam Webster 2011).” With reference to marital rape this same concept is applied, except the conditions exist now within the commitment of a marital bond. Many persons feel as if, because a couple has made such a commitment to each other then, it is impossible for rape to exist within a marriage. The question arises, is there really such a thing as rape within the marriage? We feel as though it is in fact possible for one to be raped within this context, and throughout this document we will attempt to discuss the law as it presently stands with relation to the sexual offenses act, the proposed amendment of said law, our views as well as others concerning this issue. What Does Our Law Say About Marital Rape? Rape has long been considered as a scourge of humanity throughout various cultures around the world. It has been made illegal in almost every country as a result of the physical and emotional harm that it causes. The context of rape may vary from country to country and from culture to culture but in the Bahamian code of law, its definition is clearly defined. Before one can truly discuss marital rape the question must be asked, what is the definition of rape according to Bahamian law? The present law in the Bahamas defines rape as “the act of any person not under fourteen years...

...MINALIN TOURISM: PROJECT FEASIBILITY STUDY INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE In August 27, 2011, the Sta. Monica Parish Church of Minalin was publicly declared a National Cultural Treasure by the National Museum. Minalin took the initiative to promote the Church as an important tourism niche market for everyone to see and share its history and cultural significance. The rationale for this study is based on the idea to position Minalin as a tourism destination both for its cultural and eco-tourism attributes and to take advantage of the growing tourism industry. Being a 4th class Municipality, tourism can make an important contribution to its economic development. Tourism generally generates businesses and provides jobs of various types, help keep traditions alive and finance the protection of cultural and natural heritage. In its forecast Tourism: 2020 Vision, the World Tourism Organization (WTO) predicts that cultural tourism will be one of the five key tourism market segments in the future. The focus of this study is to make Minalin an attractive tourist destination in terms of developmental cooperation with the Department of Tourism through the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA). PROJECT OVERVIEW Development Concept The Cultural and Eco-Tourism development concept of the Municipality of Minalin rest on a variety of existing cultural focal points and the development of essential structures and exciting facilities.

...Duke Stephen III of Bavaria-Ingolstadt and Taddea Visconti, whom he married for a 100,000 ducat dowry. She was most likely born in Munich where she was baptized as Elisabeth[note 1] at the Church of Our Lady.[1] Hers was the ancient and well-established Wittelsbach family, descended from Charlemagne, and she was great-granddaughter to the Wittelsbach Holy Roman Emperor Louis IV.[2][note 2] At that period Bavaria was the most powerful of the German states and divided between members of the House of Wittelsbach,[1] who confusingly all used the title Duke of Bavaria. Isabeau's uncle, Duke Frederick of Bavaria-Landshut, suggested in 1383 that she be considered as a bride to King Charles VI of France. The match was proposed again at the lavish Burgundian double wedding in Cambrai in April 1385—John the Fearless and his sister Margaret of Burgundy married Margaret and William of Bavaria-Straubing respectively. Charles, then 17, rode in the tourneys at the wedding. He was an attractive, physically fit young man, who enjoyed jousting and hunting and was excited to be married.[3] Miniature showing King Charles VI at the hunt. Queen Isabeau and her retinue are shown riding palfreys. From Enguerrand de Monstrelet's Chronique. Charles VI's uncle, Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, thought the proposed marriage ideal to build an alliance with the Holy Roman Empire and against the English.[4] Isabeau's father agreed reluctantly and sent her to France with his brother, her uncle, on the...

...and contrast the different roles of the following in law making – * House of Commons * House of Lords * Crown The three parts of Parliament are The House of Commons, The House of Lords and The Crown (the Queen). The House of Commons contains 650 members called MP’s who are elected at general elections. The leader of the party with the greatest number of MP’s is the Prime Minister. The role of The House of Commons is to debate and vote on whether to approve new laws. The House of Commons also ensures that the legislative process is democratic. There are approximately 700 members of the House of the Lords who are all unpaid and unelected. Sitting in the House of Lords are hereditary peers, life peers and 26 Bishops of the Church of England. The role of The House of Lords is to pose questions to the Government and debate current issues. The Crown is the title given to the monarch. The Queen opens each parliamentary session as of tradition. She also gives Royal assent to all legislation and appoints and dismisses the Prime Minister. 3. Explain the...

Peter and Paul Church, Trinity Suburb - an example of Minsk urban architecture of the previous century, Independence Square with its Government Building and Red Roman Catholic Church, Victory Square with its 38-m obelisk and the Eternal Flame commemorating the heroes of World War II, parks and modern architectural ensembles. Minsk is the city where one can find the best of the Belarusian cultural heritage museums and exhibitions, theatres, world-famous Belarusian ballet. Minsk: Sights and Shopping In spite of the fact that Minsk is Belarus' largest city and Europe's 12 largest city, it is surprisingly calm and charming. Minsk does not have the hectic, chaotic feeling of Rome, Paris or Budapest, cities that are only slightly larger. While Minsk is lively and fast paced, it does not overwhelm you. Streets and buildings are in good repair, the train station and metro stations are modern parks are well groomed and public buildings and shops are more or less contemporary. There are no obvious signs of poverty, such as homeless people living on streets or people asking for spare change. Neither Belarus nor Minsk have the "third world" feeling that many westerners are led to expect. Salaries are low, but cost of living is also low, so many locals have a reasonably good quality of life. Of course...

...Table of Contents Abstract 2 Introduction 3 The Impact Medical Technology has on Religion 6 How Religion Will Respond Given Their Principles and Doctrines 7 The anti-aging therapies are raising controversies in science and religion 12 Conclusion 13 References 14 Abstract People figured out early on that living longer would be beneficial if they had the chance to do so. They would be able to spend more time with their friends and family, have more time in life to accomplish things they set out to do, and they could simply enjoy more of what life has to offer. This is a great mindset for anyone to have since life is a beautiful thing and worth living. With all of the advanced medical technology on this specific subject and the new findings that are constantly being done to prolong the human lifespan, we start to enter into the area of what is ethically right and wrong and wonder how much is too much? There are many different forms of medical treatment that can save someone’s life. This will vary from medicine to surgery and many things in between. Not everyone will agree on some of the techniques used, but most people understand why someone would want to save their life. Since people will try to save their own lives if they are dying, many scientists believe that there is no difference in trying to extend a life through medicine, or trying to create a life from another person through a cloning system. This is where the tables turn from helping mankind,...

...Same Sex Marriages Michelle Jones University of Phoenix ENG/215 Cassandra Baker June 5, 2012 Same Sex Marriages Is it okay for the government to make same sex marriages illegal because of their own preference? People of all kind want to get marry someday. To tell couples they cannot get marry because of their sex preference is not fair. Everyone should be allowed to get marry if that is what wants to do. Whether it two men or two women it should not matter. They should have the same opportunity a man and woman have to get marry. “Once society was widely conscious of this population, and had an inkling of its extent, there was no question of reverting to the status quo ante. The knowledge itself had changed the political question. Not only were homosexuals not going back into the closet, but the rest of society could not forget that they exist. And there had been little in the way of a "traditional" approach to something that was beyond the margin of public consciousness. So now, the question arose of how to think about—and act toward—this alarming new population. Should it be included in or excluded from the body politic, and on what terms?”( McCarthy, 2012). Same sex people just want to be trust like everyone else. They want same benefits that other couples get. People have to expect their same sex marriages but it should be reason not to allow them to get marry. It is against the law for them to be against what is right. It is against everything...

...| Observances | Church services, gift giving, family and other social gatherings, symbolic decorating | Related to | Christmastide, Christmas Eve, Advent, Annunciation, Epiphany, Baptism of the Lord, Yule | Christmas is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ, celebrated generally on December 25 as a religious and cultural holiday by billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days of Christmastide. Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians, and is an integral part of the Christmas and holiday season. The precise date of Jesus' birth, which some historians place between 7 and 2 BC, is unknown. By the early-to-mid 4th century, the Western Christian Church had placed Christmas on December 25, a date later adopted in the East. The date of Christmas may have initially been chosen to correspond with the day exactly nine months after early Christians believed Jesus to have been conceived, as well as the date of the southern solstice (i.e., the Roman winter solstice), with a sun connection being possible because Christians consider Jesus to be the "Sun of righteousness" prophesied in Malachi 4:2. The original date of the celebration in Eastern Christianity was January 6, in connection with Epiphany, and that is still the date of the celebration for the Armenian Apostolic Church and in Armenia, where...

...To Be a Human- Then and Now Throughout the span of time humankind has asked the question: What does it mean to be human? Some of the world’s greatest men have contemplated over this question and there are a vast number of theories on what makes a human. A scientist might take a more literal opinion of the question, thinking that we are human because we are higher on the evolutionary chain; we are physically, emotionally and mentally complex. While others might take a more philosophical position on the matter, like René Descartes who originally spoke the famous phrase: “I think, therefore I am”. A philosopher would value the fact that humans can intelligently communicate their thoughts, and these thoughts can change the very existence of man as a whole through invention and innovation. Religious groups would base their opinion of humans on their faith; we are human simply because we are not God. At times science, philosophy and religion can confuse a person opinion on what it actually means to be human. Maybe the concept of being human is much simpler then some may think. Being human could simply mean that we as a collective race are imperfect. The idea of human imperfection is not easily explained by science, philosophy or religion. They can all sometimes be too complex to understand. Science exemplifies the human race as a species, philosophy praises human race as thinkers and religion looks at the human race as sinners and how we all must be perfect to please God...
