Charlie Hebdo legal rights

By Gman4326

Did the Parisian magazine have the legal right to publish anti-Muslim cartoon?

1 Loi sur la liberté de la presse du 29 juillet 1881: The law on the Freedom of the Press of July 29 1881.
Based off the article 11 of the declaration of the rights of man it allows publishers the freedom to publish until they legally offend someone and then they will be fined for violating the law.
Was Charlie Hebdo fined? No or local press would have included it.
Were they morally responsible to not include it? Yes if the publisher was going to Christian services on Sunday's. Attending Friday prayer services at a local Mosque. Did the late publisher signed covenant with the local Imam's to adhere to Sharia Law? No. 
When did France make Islam the official state religion? That would have made the News.
2 Bill Donahue wrote a story 1/7/2015 catholic league website "Stephane Charbonnier, the paper’s publisher, was killed today in the slaughter. It is too bad that he didn’t understand the role he played in his tragic death. In 2012, when asked why he insults Muslims, he said, “Muhammad isn’t sacred to me.” Had he not been so narcissistic, he may still be alive. Muhammad isn’t sacred to me, either, but it would never occur to me to deliberately insult Muslims by trashing him".
Europe has not been under the Christian Worldview for sometime there are rules we follow that Secularists will not which is evident here.
The ones who should be upset are the Muslims themselves are they condemning the attacks. Dalil Boubakeur the current Imam of the Grand Mosque of Paris has condemned this terrorist attack. “This is a thunderous declaration of war. The times have changed. We’re entering a new phase of this confrontation… we are horrified by the brutality and the savagery”  In this report by http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/2015/01/not-in-our-name-muslims-respond-in-revulsion-to-charlie-hebdo-shooting/. I love to make comments and have overstepped my bounds as Bill Donahue has. This assault on the freedom of the press can only be solved by the Muslims themselves. Why, even though what action or inaction they do could effect others outside their sphere of influence. This problem arose in the Islamic community not in ours and sometimes we must stand back and take the time the understand that.

Science Fiction Robotics/Mechanical Genre

General Historical Narrative

by Gman4326

Early sci-fi writers such as Jules Verne would use robotics as means to give the reader fanstastic adventures into unknown lands in the case of steam house 1880 a journey into the heart of india. H.G Wells did this also in his work War of the Worlds 1906. This concept of mechanical battle armor piloted by humans in these early years was quite a foreign concept. In Japan the first robot that looks human is entitled Tetsujin 28-Go introduced in 1956. A human piloted mecha came into existence in year 1972 in manga form. In america Stan Lee also came up with mechanical battle armor man called Iron Man during this same time frame. By this you may know one is group uses robotics as part of a fantasy adventure the other hero fables.

This is the companion to the liberal arts course list.

First up a definition of systematic theology by R.C Sproul

Theology Etymology

Root Theo- Koine Greek Theos (Θεὸς)

Suffix –logy Koine Greek Logos (Λόγος)

Systematic (systems of thought)

There are two basic assumptions to Systematic Theology

1.       God has revealed himself to us through general revelation and its sister special revelation

2.       According to His character (God is not the author of confusion but of order)

There is unity to the word of God

There is coherence to the word of God Quote “Holy Spirit is not coherent” R.C Sproul
There is consistency to the word of God

Scope and Purpose of Systematic Theology

To gain an understanding both coherently and consistent about who GOD is.

What paradigm shifts that have come into existence in the area of theology?

In natural science what changes occur to changes it?

Anomalies when new information that comes that needs to be understood

In theology it is simpler than that a New Testament Greek word that has a different definition to it or added one for the purpose to translate a few edition to the Bible. Bishop preaching out of the word cans exegete the scripture in its context with the new meaning to the text itself.

Biblical Theology for example the term salvation this group will go into the word and find how it used each and every time differently; caution there is scholars who will disagree the harmony that scriptures gives on the use of the word salvation the term is Atomism.

Historical Theology: in the regards to how the church dealt with certain heresies and other historical matters this person can give account on how it was solved.

Systematic Theology: it is job of this theologian is to take the other two groups work and wrap it up for understanding to the passive audience.

Logic and reason is next:

God can save?

A. God can save no one

B. God can save someone

C. God can save everyone

If God does not have the power to save, then the natural philosopher is correct that the universe is always in chaos.

If God can save everyone then why do people go to church on Sunday’s at all? Why present the gospel at all logical point C even though necessary insults the non-believer choices in life.

The elect are found in point b and the consistent with what is written in the bible “Jacob I loved and Esau I hated” Apostle Paul

We can have assurance in our faith and can use deductive reason when taught and then applied.

Since the New Testament was written in Koine Greek and it is still taught then we can know what Paul actually said.

Good example is found in Ephesians 2:8 in the original  

 Τῇ γἀρ χἀριτὶ ὲστε σεσῳσμένοι διὰ πίστεως

For by grace you have been saved through faith….  

Dative instrumental case: in Koine Greek this classification allows for something to be accomplished; there is also a syntax form in English using the preposition with, by, or by means of;

This Τῇ makes this sentence a dative instrumental case

What did Paul say to the Church in Ephesus whatever God decides to do He accomplishes.

This can be found in a literature course.

A.    The purpose for writing something

B.     Allowing the writer to speak for themselves

Foundation for a Christian Society

By Gman4326

Cultural Mandate in the scriptures which are God breathed. 2 timothy 3:15-17; Genesis 1:27-31

Without the 66 books of the Bible there is no Church;

There is no law without Scripture inspired Theology;

There is no Christian dominion without the law;

There is no Liberal Arts without dominion;

There is no Christian family without the Scriptures.

P.S No man is born a Christian.
A blind side of the reformation was the fact Children were born Christian.
If they did not believe this then the half-way covenant a death blow to Calvinism in the U.S.A would not have taken place.
