As a result, the accounting firm can fire Jennifer under the employment at will doctrine. ("The Employment at Will Doctrine," 2011) (Johnson, 2007) ("Set Up Employee Policies for Your Business," 2011) What are the legal implications for the employer vs
In this election Karzai will probably win, because he is the only candidate with use of American helicopters to campaign and most importantly Karzai has 24/7 American body guards to keep Afghans from killing him." (Glaser) In Iraq, the interim government and those allowed to run for president all appear to have been equally picked and backed by America
" He added, "If it doesn't fit their theory, they don't want to accept it." (Hersh) So it seems that all this should have been known to Bush and his administration had they been willing to recognize it
Yes, Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator and his toppling is welcome. But the same could be said of North Korea's Kim Jong-il," (Kaplan) This argument, somewhat naively, would suggest that since the war was obviously fought for some purpose, and as there was no apparent purpose to this war apart from installing democratic tendencies on foreign soil, that must be the purpose
Even after it became evident that weapon of mass destruction did not exist on the ground, Bush originally seemed prepared to continue the charade of their existence. A government report, which admits to finding nothing but "clues" (which in most cases are little more than burnt files or empty basements which could be used to house weapons), subsequent to the war explained that the disparity was due to the fact that "Empirical reality on the ground is, and has always been, different from intelligence judgments that must be made under serious constraints of time, distance and information" (Kay) One tends to believe that if bringing democracy to all the nations of the world was Bush's actual goal, that this would both be stated more directly from the beginning (rather than hiding behind the pretense of destroying weapons of mass destruction
The divinity of Christ was roundly discussed at the Nicaean Council in the fourth century, in which Arius argued that Jesus could not have been divine and Athanasius argued that he was. The latter's viewpoint eventually triumphed due to inductive reasoning that had definite political implications, in which "without full divinity, Christ could not impart the salvation the Bible and the church's worship testified to" (Noll, 2012, p
The political motives and agendas that impacted Christian doctrine became even more obvious with the events that led to the council of Chalcedon, which was a natural progression from the decision that Athanasius helped produce at Nicaea. At Chalcedon, representatives of both the Eastern and Western faction of the Christian Church -- which were still unified at the time -- struggled to rectify the apparent contradiction of the conclusion of Nicaea (that Christ was divine) with the perception that he was also human (Parys, 1970, p
¶ … Christian Church: Doctrine and Politics The doctrine and politics of the early Christian Church were intrinsically related to one another, particularly during the fourth and fifth centuries. During this crucial time period in which the Holy Roman Empire (which had officially adopted the religion of Christianity) (Shelley, 2008, 1st page chptr 9) was attempting to expand, some of the fundamental principles regarding the nature of this religion and of Christology were widely debated and eventually solidified
¶ … intrinsic relationship between common law doctrines of public and private nuisance and certain elements of contemporary legislation that pertain to public and private injury. Examples of the latter legislation include the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and other such mandates set up by the Environmental Protection Agency (McAdams, 2008, p
In gratitude, a Christian individual would therefore fight a daily battle against his or her sinful nature. Paul points out frequently that having faith does not give an individual the freedom to sin (Bredenhof, 2012)
This is the central doctrine of Christianity. The entire New Testament is based on this doctrine (Elwell, 2014)
The theory of evolution recognizes in history causes and laws, but no aims or ideas; it is occupied only with what is, and not with what ought to be. (Chantepie De La Saussaye, 1891, p
These deserve to be remembered because they were the first, it seems, explicitly to declare the evolution of Catholic dogma as an argument of apologetics. (Miegge, 1955, p
"It has been said with reason that the doctrine of the Last Judgment was at once "the care and also the consolation of the Middle Ages." (Petry, 1956, p
Therefore, this secular historical interpretation does not rise to the level of ekklesia as understood by the early Christian Church. Nevertheless, the Septuagint contains several references to the Hebrew translation of ekklesia - qahal -- meaning "assembly, congregation, or convocation" (Baker 1995, 67) and the New Testament refers to this same secular type of ekklesia in Acts19:32, 39 and 41 (Nelson 1999)
Researching these concepts, one can see some commonalities and some widely differing beliefs among Christian sects. Summary of Christian Doctrine of the Church from the Perspective of a Believer The Meaning of the Greek Word "Ekklesia" The term "ekklesia" is Greek for "to call out," historically referring to "the assembly of citizens in a self-governed state" who were summoned from other places such as their homes to convene (Broadus 2012, 358)
The Beginning of the Church Christ founded the church, setting the groundwork for the church during his life and bringing it into existence until the day of Pentecost. First the church is a mystery with secret thoughts and dispensations by god that are at the divine level and revealed only to those for whom they are intended (Danker 2000, 532)
12:23 (Nelson 1999). This community of people, including all who have been reconciled to God and received new life through Christ's death, is expressed through local gatherings of these believers (Erickson 1998, 1034)
12:13 (Nelson 1999) and is performed on adults, per Acts 2:41 and 8:36-38, and on children, per Mark 10:13-16; Acts 11:14; 16:15, 31-34; 18:8 (Nelson 1999). Baptism is the Sign of the Covenant and act of faith in which members are brought into the community and receive benefits of that community (Hodge 1873, 582)
Therefore, this secular historical interpretation does not rise to the level of ekklesia as understood by the early Christian Church.
