What is the Gospel?The Gospel: what does this word mean? Whether you’re a Christian or not, you’ve probably come across this word at least once in your life. A lot of people do not understand the actual definition that this tricky word possesses. The original language, in which the New Testament was written, was Greek. The word, “Gospel” was translated from the Greek word “euangelion,” which literally means “good news,” but what news, within the New Testament, is the word “Gospel” referring to? It’s very simple and goes back to John 3:16 which states, “For God so loved the world that he ga
How Have Attitudes Within The Horror Genre ChangedHow have attitudes within the horror genre changed due to the impact of “torture-porn” films such as “Saw” and Hostel”? Historically, our ideas on the horror genre originally derive from Victorian notions on the subject, originating from the gothic ideals proposed in novels such as Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” and Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”, both of which have spawned numerous adaptations and have changed the horror genre with their portrayal of supernatural and human evil. However, the ideas from which we have derived the modern concept of horror films has been adapted by i
JUNIOR NOW!Hey guys, so as the title says, I'm now a junior now! :DAlso, the reason I'm submitted this as deviation instead of a journal is because of the new Stash.Writer that is uploaded and I have no clue how to use it, so if you are reading this, just tell me how does it work please! I don't want to do this. Having to make journals into deviations, it's kind of stupid but I need you guys to know this right now.Anyways, so yeah I'm officially now an 11th grader, it feels great. All of my finals are done, though four out of six are done because either I didn't have one, didn't have to do one, or I did it earlier. All of my friends are happy that t
Pogodzenie As i HatariAsper miał dość wrogiego nastawienia Astutii do Hatari, więc postanowił uknuć plan, by dziewczęta przekonały się do siebie. Zawsze lubił knuć podstępne plany i wymyślać intrygi, a jeszcze bardziej go bawiło, gdy jego siostrzyczka padała ofiarą żartów. Mając stuprocentową pewność, że jego plan się uda, poprosił Hatari by się z nim spotkała. Miał nadzieję, że dziewczynę nie zdziwi zbytnio fakt, że chce się z nią umówić w jednym ze składzików w pi
Herbivore and Carnivore.Namaste! Everyone. It has been a little time since I wrote, but as usual, I needed some time to gather information about the new lesson, and I came across something that was a little disturbing to me. Now, I am not much of a cook neither do am I a gastronome person but I know that I am a person of nature and life, by this I mean that I read, talk and listen to what others have to share and their point of view, but I am not obligated to accept neither do the other person(s) are not obligated to accept what I share, but at least we could hear each other out and leave the negative thoughts out of the conversation. If you do not agree, then don't
Lucha Estudiantil en CHileSalgo rápido de mi casa un poco antes de que mis papás despierten, con la excusa de que hoy entraba mas temprano al liceo, la verdad es que no tengo ninguna intención de asistir a clases hoy, ya que en un par de horas iniciará una "archa por la educación" y planeo juntarme con Ignacio en media hora. Se supone esta será una marcha pacifica pero como siempre voy preparada con algunos trucos que aprendí en otras marchas.En el metro me encontré con muchos amigos que también se disponían a ir, como yo, a esta marcha. Logre salir de aquel lugar tan infestado de personas junto
Message from a Lightworker and Starseed.Namaste and I welcome you all to a new lesson, today is 17 of June 2013 and today I came across something that I never noticed but thought that it might be true. Today’s lesson is going to be about two things, the so called "Therapists" and about a message that I feel the urge to share it with you, because I feel that now is the right time to share it with you. Pleasant reading I wish you all and also, as usual, if not interested, please don't waste time reading and afterwards giving me hate or negative comments. Thank you.:bulletblue: Now, as I mentioned, there are people who are called as "Therapists". Everyone knows who these type
The Students - Why We Cannot Cut Financial AidThe StudentsWhy We Cannot Afford To Cut Financial AidBy Anthony J. PiccioneToday in America - more than ever before in our nation’s history – students who attend college are heavily dependent on financial aid and student loans. This is due to the fact that the cost of college tuition has risen dramatically over the past several years. As a result of this, a major debate has been sparked over how to deal with this issue, more specifically with regards to how much of a role the federal government should play in fixing it. But there is one particular fact that both sides in this debate need to acknowledge: If you cut the existin
Only the Curious Have Something to Learn“Institutions of learning should be devoted to the cultivation of curiosity.” – Henry MillerLearning is an exercise in satisfying one’s curiosity. Because a curious mind lies at the heart of individuals who possess an unquenchable desire to learn, without it, a mere education is tenuous at best and futile at worst.Most of life’s useful knowledge is acquired through the act of satisfying a curiosity. This leads us to ask questions, search for answers, and, in finding them, come to a better understanding of not only the subject at hand but also of the world as a whole.The blatant lack of the cultivation of curiosity is one of the inherent shortcomings of the American public education system. We are forced to memorize facts and expected to answer what are often arbitrary questions while never having instilled within us the desire to ask our own questions—or even taught what sort of questions are worth asking.How can we know an answer to a question w

What Feminism Should Be, For WomenWhat Feminism Should Be, For WomenI have this friend, we'll call her 'C', who has recently been posting a lot of 'girl power' feminist photos on Facebook. I have to say, it's the most positive view of feminism that I think is out there.What do you think of when you think of Feminism? I think, generally, people think that feminists are men hating, anti-marriage,way-over-the-top crazy ugly hippie lesbian women, who were at some point hurt by a man. While that stereotype may fit the bill in some cases, I think it's a totally twisted view of what feminism is and what it should be. As the world advances technologically, so does it ideologica

The High RoadCancer. It is an ugly word that rolls off my tongue and lands on the floor with a sickening, splat! Cancer, she reaches down with her rotting corpse of a hand and, despite the Lord’s protest, takes from us the ones we love. I never thought it could happen to my family, affect my life. Grandma, she was too young, only 58. How, why? But knew how, I knew why, and it was entirely my fault. My mother and I were in the Chinese grocery store in New Brunswick. I always loved these trips because it means we would buy a carton of duck, sushi, frozen dumplings, fresh fish and best of all, sweet buns filled with butter cream.On this particular day
