- 14074: Christian Morality
- ... that sin victimizes persons and corrupts minds, but theology portrays sin as being subjectively arbitrated by God and therefore in need of being interpreted by those who speak for God. The fatalism left the world's moral analysis with a large gap in it. The gap is in the abstract basics. Basics are the realities upon which other realities depend. They create the bedrock of all subjects. This website defines the ... theologians do not understand the abstractions of morality.

German princes hid him in their abodes, protecting him from the Church when he refused to denounce the ninety-five theses he wrote on religion, challenging the ways of the Catholic Church.

Homesickness was surely felt by Mr. Shimerda, as it was by ... in keeping with his dignified manner (24) Mr. Shimerda was indeed a prosperous man in Bohemia, but had made his living in the business world, not by running a farm to provide for his family’s needs.

His face however shows signs that he was already having doubts about the ... the look of heavy thoughts.

- ... from combining the methods Ms. Elvedt discusses in her book. The numerous people who were floating close by laughed at us and called us idiots because of our unique practice of paddling.

He had warned us when we questioned him about his numerous float trips down Current River to be extremely careful when we came to a fast moving bend in the river called Wallace's Point.

Upon releasing the stopper Newton’s first law went into effect which states that for something to move a force must act upon it in this case the gas moving out of the bottle.
