Language and Abstract Thought: Meaningful Conversation about a God Who Transcends Creation?
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page address of the philosophical dilemma of whether or not we can talk meaningfully of a God who transcends creation if language is a part of creation. Questions the innateness of language and the applicability of that innateness to the topic of our own creation and the existence of God. Compares language in animals and mankind and concludes there are definitive differences in the ability of the two to have meaningful conversations about such highly abstract concepts as God and His existence. It is the ability to translate our mental experiences into words which gives humans the capability of abstract thought and allows us to have meaningful philosophic conversation about God even though God transcends creation.

Luther and the Reformation
[ send me this paper ]
(6 pp.)Man was taught to be fearful in his faith. He was not to expect a long or happy life, but was to endure until that time that he met his Redeemer and achieved a heavenly reward. What started to creep into this belief system was the thought that if you, had a little extra money and were willing to buy one or more Church sanctioned pieces of paper called "indulgences," it was possible to shorten the stay in Purgatory, the holding-tank of heaven, and move on into the realms of Glory in a more prompt fashion. If it helped the coffers of the Church, that was a double blessing. With the good of man's soul in mind, confession became an obligation, rather than voluntary. Pilgrimages were encouraged; fire and brimstone was preached. Luther felt that the Church was extracting too high of a toll on its members and registered his opposition to such activities.
