From this sprung philosophy, and from philosophy sprung science and religion. As time passed, science has evolved whenever contrary evidence is presented. Religion is never revised; its theories are still the same as they were thousands of years ago. People will go through extreme lengths to enforce that their idea of religion is right, this leads to the death of many, all in the name of god. hera_tihk@pacificarticles.com (Hera Tihk) Fri, 03 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/4128/1/About-Christian-Holidays/About-Christian-Holidays.html Christian holidays play a very significant part in this worlds daily agenda, even though there are many other people around the world who are not Christians, and vast areas in which Christianity has no followers, the Christian holidays are well known around the world and they are also a key factor in international business at certain times of the year. celia_namart@pacificarticles.com (Celia Namart) Fri, 03 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/4127/1/Philosophy--Ideas-Ideas-Truth-and-Freedom/Philosophy--Ideas-Ideas-Truth-and-Freedom.html Religion, such as God's own Word, serves as a revelation of vital knowledge for man david_hulme@pacificarticles.com (David Hulme) Fri, 03 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/4126/1/Ethics-and-Morality---Right-and-Wrong/Ethics-and-Morality---Right-and-Wrong.html Can religion guide us when asking tough life challenging questions? david_hulme@pacificarticles.com (David Hulme) Fri, 03 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/4125/1/How-Magickal-Pearls-are-Acquired-Part-1/How-Magickal-Pearls-are-Acquired-Part-1.html How mustikas are acquire by Indonesian shamans.

When Jason and the Argonauts boarded the Argos in the Volos harbor thousands of years ago and sailed off toward the Black Sea in search of the Golden Fleece, it's likely their friends and families gathered on the shore and thought to themselves as they waved goodbye, "Those Argonauts sure know how to handle a boat." Or perhaps the Christians from Antioch, waving to Paul from the wharf in Selucia as his ship headed off toward Cyprus in 47 A.D., noticed that the captain looked sure and steady.That is not the way it was for Janet and me in SailingActs. linford_stutzman@pacificarticles.com (Linford Stutzman) Fri, 03 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/4121/1/Haunted-Typewriter-or-God/Haunted-Typewriter-or-God.html To my astonishment my typewriter began to move.

They believe that God doesn't care and as a result they believe God has left our planet! They refuse to see that all forms of disasters in this world is the preamble to the end of the game of life. They go about their business without understanding that in order to live in this world we must realize that our lives have a purpose. A predestined evolution that has a beginning and an end. linda_dipman@pacificarticles.com (Linda Dipman) Fri, 03 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/4116/1/Ark-of-Covenant-Found---Almost/Ark-of-Covenant-Found---Almost.html Raiders of the Lost Ark was a thrilling movie, but what Indiana Jones sort-of found was not the Ark of the Covenant.

Generally speaking, of course, it refers to the time when the day of man, or "the times of the Gentiles," will be brought to an end and "the Lord alone shall be exalted" (Isa. 2:11,17). But will it include more than the actual return and reign of Christ? Will it include the prophesied tribulation period, during which God will bring Gentile rule to an end? We believe it will. cornelius_rstam@pacificarticles.com (Cornelius R. Stam) Thu, 02 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/4111/1/How-To-Please-God/How-To-Please-God.html There is nothing in all the world that will haunt a man like the fear that God may be displeased with him, nor is there any joy comparable to the assurance that He is pleased. It is foolish, however, to suppose that we can please God with the things we think He desires. We must give Him what He says He desires, and He tells us again and again in His Word that it is faith He desires most of all. He wants us to trust Him, to take Him at His Word. cornelius_rstam@pacificarticles.com (Cornelius R.

We have his Son Jesus Christ who loves us and who died for us so we can repent and return to them. Always remember God sent you here on a mission to help prepare the earth for his second coming and that Jesus will come again. We each have a part in that mission. We are just like John, who prepared the people for the first time Jesus came. We all have the same mission now, to prepare the earth for Savior's second and final coming and return. eva_fry@pacificarticles.com (Eva Fry) Thu, 02 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/1492/1/What-Im-Giving-Up-for-Lent/What-Im-Giving-Up-for-Lent.html This past week being lent and the opening of The Passion of Christ (which I probably won’t see, mostly because I can’t bear watching physical violence and I’d be a total wreck during and afterwards).
