First we must note that God is distinctly "tying wreaths to the letters" of the Torah, so that Akiba can decipher their meaning later. Moses the writer of the document is then taken to Akiba's classroom and shown the sophistication that the Rabbis have when they interperit the Bible.

Experiences Of God

... I experience God as well. Some of these places include with my friends, because I just always feel like I'm in a good mood when I'm hanging around with them. Anyway, that is the basis for my paper, so I'm going to talk about those places and why I feel that I experience God there. The place that I feel that I experience God the most has to be nature. My grandpa has a farm with like forty acres of forest (woods). Anyway, I've been going down there ever since I was like six or seven. When I was big enough, my dad bought a dirt bike for me ...

Jesus: The First Anarchist

... meaning is that of the anarchist. "Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God," said Jesus to his disciples in one of many stories in which he shunned wealth and society's view of 'success'.

The Longest Day

... hours is not such a difficult task. Yet, computer scientists in the space program and mathematicians - one a former professor at Yale University - have discovered that a whole day has been unaccountably added in time. The positions of the moon, sun, and planets have to be calculated precisely for all space shots to avoid problems in establishing the satellite's orbit.

The History Of Religion

... "fringe," and is often labeled as a cult. Although our Constitution protects our differing religious interests, it is surprisingly common to attack anyone, or any ideas that are different from our own. If John Calvin had lived in today's society, he might be considered a cult leader, similar to David Koresh. The word cult has been used very loosely during the past couple of decades. It has been used recently by the media in the headlines to describe the events that took place at Ruby Ridge, and Waco. Each of these events has several thing ...

... is unconstitutional for the administration to endorse or discriminate against any religion. Due to this interpretation, the practice of coercive prayer is unconstitutional, and should be kept forever separated from this nation's schools. The purpose of public schools is to educate, not indoctrinate. Schoolchildren are a captive audience.
