...contract in which one party (usually an employee) agrees not to pursue a similar profession or trade in competition against another party (usually the employer). The use of such agreements is premised on the possibility that upon an employee’s termination or resignation, they might begin working for a competitor or start a business, and gain competitive advantage by abusing confidential information about their former employer's operations or trade secrets, or sensitive information such as customer/client lists, business practices, upcoming products, and marketing plans. Such a document between the employer and employee states that the employee will not go to work for a competitor for a specified period of time, frequently two years (Anonymous, 2012). Concept 2: Work for Hire The "work for hire" clause was introduced into employment contracts to avoid disputes and the resulting...

...Eugene Hoem CWV101 2-16-2013 Instructor: Mr. Todd Forrest Worldview Essay My worldview is my set of assumptions and beliefs, which helps me determine right from wrong, and helps me define how the world works. I understand a very few things in this world, yet here are two facts that I have come to accept after hard-earned personal experience: I was heavily influenced as a child by my family’s worldview and my experiences in the world forced me to develop my own worldview. My worldview has been dramatically impacted by the sum of my experiences and has shaped all my beliefs. I have many and varied life experiences, including multiple jobs, I have interacted with thousands of people in my travels and have shared stories, experiences, and dialogue with them. I spent one complete career already in my life in the United States military and I entered the service at a very young, impressionable age where initial training serves one purpose; to break a person’s will, to make one doubt one’s self, and to question personal beliefs. Then the training moulded me and all the other individuals into different people with a whole new set of beliefs and ideas, thus reinforcing my point that my experience from basic training impacted my worldview. My travels in the military forced me to accept other cultures exist, they espouse different beliefs, and some of those beliefs conflict with my worldview. What I believe is almost as complex as how I developed why I believe in these ideas and...

...Christianity 1 In the New Testament, how does Matthew illustrate Jesus’ teachings on adultery, fasting, giving alms, praying, judging others, and false prophets? The Lord journey through Galilee “teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom (Matt. 4: 23). The Gospels of the Kingdom are the most important subject in the New Testament. The Gospel and deeds of Jesus Christ were understood in Matthew illustration. The main teaching of the Sermon is not so much the kingdom of Heaven and repentance which are presupposed, but the new piety versus the old piety of the scribes and Pharisees. The Sermon encourages the Christian to apply his own life through these principles of piety. Jesus condemns adultery in the heart. When I think of this illustration of plunking the eye is not to be taken literally; neither should the illustration in the Bible of cutting of the right hand. These illustrations in the bible suggest the uprooting of evil thoughts fro ones heart. In Christian ethics; the only legal and sacred relation between man and woman is their union in wedlock. Every other sex relation and practice is against the principles of the Gospel . As stated in Matthew 5: 27-30 the scriptures said, “Thou shalt not commit adultery. Adultery is a weakness of the people of the past and still remains as such among the people of the Christian era. In the past, customs and laws legalized adultery and fornication through polygamy. Solomon with many “wives”...

Some anonymous author wrote this years ago: more than nineteen hundred years ago there was a man born contrary to laws of life. This man lived in poverty and was reared in obscurity ....only once did he cross the boundary of the country in which he lived; that was during his exile in childhood....in infancy he startled the king; in childhood he puzzled the doctors: in manhood he ruled the course of nature, walked upon the billows as if on pavement, and hushed the sea to sleep....he never wrote a book, and yet all of the libraries of the country could not hold the books that have been written about him....he never wrote a song, and yet he has furnished theme for more songs than all the songwriters combined.... He never founded a college, but all the schools put together cannot boast of having as many students.... Though time has spread many years between the people of this generation and the scene of his crucifixion, yet he still lives. Herod could not destroy him, and the grave could not hold him....he stands -forth upon the highest pinnacle of heavenly glory, proclaimed by God, acknowledged by angels, adored by saints, and feared by devils, as the living, personal Christ, our Lord, our savior and our God. 4. Some other anonymous author added these...

...Abortions and Morals versus The Right To Choose Latrice Dixon PHI 103: Informal Logic Professor Victor Reppert 2/7/2012 // . Over the course of history topics have been discussed, debated, and then re-discussed. Some would say can’t they agree to disagree or maybe move on to another topic. The most controversial topic in America history has been and continues to be abortion, the right to choose life or death. This paper will give the argument for and against abortion, the history of abortions, the religious aspects, and the statics of abortions including complications. I am against abortion because of my religious views and I think it is morally wrong to have an abortion. Considering America’s ethics and values, death is morally wrong. This makes the killing of unborn fetuses morally wrong as well. Abortion is not justified because it goes against God’s word, is murder, and, poses risks to the mother. On January 22, 1973, the United States Supreme Court, in a 7-2 decisions, handed down two rulings legalizing abortion in America (http://prolifeaction.org). Prior to these rulings abortion was prohibited in most of the 50 states (http://prolifeaction.org). In two states abortions were allowed New York and California, but various restrictions were in place (http://prolifeaction.org). These restrictions were removed by the 1973 rulings (http://prolifeaction.org). The Supreme Court based its decision on the “right to privacy”, which it claimed was guaranteed...

Lord: Adonai (Hebrew) LORD: Yahweh or Jehovah or I am who I am. God: Elohim (Hebrew). God Almighty: El Shaddai. Most ancient Jews thought that Moses wrote the Torah/Pentateuch (first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy). Moses is traditionally thought to have lived in the 1200sBC. The names of God appear to differ systematically in the Torah. J source: used Yahweh/Jehovah. E source: used Elohim/God.

...Idolatry, Social Injustice, and Religious Ritualism; the Prophets View Several of the prophets had much to say in regards to idolatry, social injustice, and religious ritualism throughout the Old Testament. Some of these that will be used in this essay are Isaiah, Hosea, Micah, Jonah, and Ezekiel. Their verses will better define the meanings God has on each of these subjects. Let us begin by asking the question; what is idolatry? Merriam-Webster online defines it as: 1the worship of a physical object as a god, or 2immoderate attachment or devotion to something. The first definition is what most individuals think of in regards to idolatry. Stone, wood, brass, and golden statues comes to mind. However, it is the second definition that is more appropriate for a Christian to understand. It is the word “something” that is the key to the definition of idolatry. Anything you put before God is idolatry and is sin. The first two Commandments state: “You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make yourself an image in the form of anything… You shall not bow down to them or worship them (Exodus 20:3-5 NIV). The idols of today are too numerous to count. Many people today place more emphasis on sports, possessions, money, television, and electronics, than taking care of their own souls. Jonah warns us of what will come to those who worship idols. He says, “Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them (Jonah 2:8 NIV). Society today do not...

...first Christian Roman emperor in 313 A.D., Christianity became free from persecution and later even became the official religion of the Roman Empire. This however; marked the unofficial end of the unified church as power plays and politics became as much a part of the church as the gospels themselves. In 1054, the Eastern Orthodox Church split from the unified Church over the principle of supreme authority being held by the Bishop of Rome (better known as the Pope). During this time, the Roman Catholic Church also established its own authority to teach and interpret scripture. “Individual believers are not encouraged to read the Bible and seek its meaning; instead the church will decide that and teach it to the believer”. (Anonymous, 2010) By the sixteenth century, the Protestant churches separated from the Roman Catholic Church as well. Although many religions and their varying sects have many beliefs and principles in common, a number of practices, beliefs, and political matters differ enough to warrant a split from other denominations....

...Image of God Chart part 11 1 Grand Canyon University: HTH-359 July 24, 2013 Image of God Chart part 11 2 Terry Harris is an African American Black woman who resides in Kent, Ohio and appears to work hard for what she has. Terry’s temperament is sweet for she is a kind and gentle individual but, she struggles because of her crack, alcohol, and marijuana addictions. Although she attends Church on a regular basis she still needs a support system/group to help or rather show her how to get past her addictions. Angela (my wife) was her support system but, since we have relocated Terry has down spiraled. Angela picks up the telephone weekly to encourage her by having Bible study and reading scriptures with her. She also has invited her to come to stay with us as a vacation to get her away from that scene. Terry's is in her sixties and Angela told her "You would not look good wearing an orange jail jumpsuit, it that what you want because, if you do not stop you will end up in jail or even worse the graveyard." It is pretty much Terry's daughter Kim who constantly keeps bringing the drugs into her mother's home. Angela told Terry "Kim is grown and needs her own place so put her out." Spiritually she needs all the help she can get, her health is okay but she is also the type to get mad at others when they attempt to step in and her help. She will tell you "I don't get mad I get even." What she does not realize if she does not get help soon she...

...answer, and the answer here is “Yes”. We live in bodies, and with hearts and minds, that if exposed to sin are often brought into bondage to those sins. Different people have different predispositions to addiction. For some it is alcohol, for others it is pornography or nicotine, for yet others it is homosexual lust. So prone are we to sinful addictions that we can turn otherwise good things into bondage, things like chocolate or success in the workplace. So, yes, Christians, like everyone else, can become addicted, because as Jeremiah 17:9 says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick.” Let me point out here, however, that when we ask “Can some people be addicted?” we run the risk of greatly misunderstanding the nature of sin. According to the Bible, not only can sin lead to addiction but it always does; not only might we fall into addiction to sin, we all have done so. Our Lord taught, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin.” It is not that every sin leads to an automatic addiction to that sin – although the potential for this ought to fill us with dread. The point is that sinners are addicted not just to this sin or that, but to sin itself. If you think that is not true, then I invite you simply to stop sinning. But of course, you can’t. In fact, the more you try not to sin, the more you will sin. This was the experience of one famous addict to sin, the apostle Paul. He wrote, in Romans 7:14-19: “We know...

For us teenagers were not very familiar with this topic, because it’s not in our stage to think of these thoughts or to put it into our minds. But, let’s accept the fact that were now only miles away in entering this stage, so we must have an initial idea on how to live with it. Besides knowing these things make us a wise man on choosing the right or wrong. Let’s go back to business. God created life, so we must respect his ways on how to deal with it. Lord thy God told us in His 10 Commandments, “Thou shall not kill”, which also synonymous that WE DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO KILL. RH BILL is concern in preventing life formation. Do killing lives and preventing lives aren’t the same? In Biology, it says that when the two gametes...
