What had caused the human's big bang from being concentric with the universe, and what had transformed that harmonious image into a conflict and a Diasporic entropy, is his position in the epicenter, far from the universal tree. By saying that the person is in the epicenter, one means that one's emotions are extrinsic with regard to the nucleus (neural-net) despite the fact that they are inside the person. Being in the epicenter is being eccentric, and being eccentric means one's emotions are precarious and flow with turmoil. This book is not simply a reenactment of historical events or an examination of outward existential behavior, along with its inward psychological reality. Rather, it is a description of a concept showing how the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! An ontological argument for the existence of God attempts the method of a priori proof, which uses intuition and reason alone. In the context of the Abrahamic religions, ontological arguments were first proposed by the Medieval philosophers Avicenna (in The Book of Healing) and Anselm of Canterbury (in his Proslogion). Important variations were developed by later philosophers like Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi, Rene Descartes, Gottfried Leibniz, Norman Malcolm, Charles Hartshorne, and Alvin Plantinga. A modal-logic version of the argument was devised by the mathematician Kurt Godel. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Open theism is a theological movement that has developed within evangelical and post-evangelical Protestant Christianity as a response to certain ideas that are related to the synthesis of Greek philosophy and Christian theology. Several of these ideas within classical theism (a designation which is not to be taken as inclusive of all of orthodox theism) state that God is immutable, impassible, and timeless. For several versions of classical theism, God fully determines the future; thus, humanity does not have libertarian free will, or, if free, that its freedom must necessarily be compatible with God's determining actions. Open theists argue that these attributes do not belong to the God of...

Criminals who deserve to be called so, in the name of their religion have committed grievous crimes against humanity and have gone away with it without being punished. The poor majority who are called followers just blindly followed while before God they lacked a criteria to assure them that they were not in the right path. So far in the whole history of religion there is no religion which can claim Innocence. All religions have committed grievous sins in the name of God. The conclusion is that up till to-day no religion has understood God nor monopolized Him.The study of the interrelationships of the various religious trade and of the way in which themes and ideas are...

Oriental Orthodoxy is the communion of Eastern Christian Churches that recognize only three ecumenical councils — the First Council of Nicaea, the First Council of Constantinople and the Council of Ephesus. They rejected the dogmatic definitions of the Council of Chalcedon (451). Hence, these Oriental Orthodox Churches are also called Old Oriental Churches or Non-Chalcedonian Churches.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Original sin is, according to a doctrine proposed in Christian theology, humanity's state of sin resulting from the Fall of Man. This condition has been characterized in many ways, ranging from something as insignificant as a slight deficiency, or a tendency toward sin yet without collective guilt, referred to as a "sin nature", to something as drastic as total depravity or automatic guilt by all humans through collective guilt. Those who uphold the doctrine look to the teaching of Paul the Apostle in Romans 5:12-21 and 1 Corinthians 15:22 for its scriptural base, and see it as perhaps implied in Old Testament passages such as Psalm 51:5 and Psalm 58:3.

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Ormulum or Orrmulum is a twelfth-century work of Biblical exegesis, written in early Middle English verse by a monk named Orm (or Ormin). Because of the unique phonetic orthography adopted by its author, the work preserves many details of English pronunciation existing at a time when the language was in flux after the Norman Conquest. Consequently, it is invaluable to philologists in tracing the development of the language. Orm was concerned with priests' ability to speak the vernacular, and developed an idiosyncratic spelling system to guide his readers in the pronunciation of the vowels. He used a strict...

The word orthodox, from Greek orthodoxos "having the right opinion", from orthos ("right", "true", "straight") + doxa ("opinion" or "praise", related to dokein, "to think"), is typically used to mean adhering to the accepted or traditional and established faith, especially in religion. The term did not conventionally exist with any degree of formality (in the sense in which it is now used) prior to the advent of Christianity in the Greek-speaking world, though the word does occasionally show up in ancient literature in other, somewhat similar contexts.[citation needed] Orthodoxy is opposed to heterodoxy ("other teaching"), heresy and schism.
