Explain two ways in which belief in the afterlife influences Christians today

Answer:

Explanation:

This is  actually a very difficult question. Influences doesn't mean action although you mean it so. I just means guidance. Much has changed since the time of Christ. There is a great deal of interpretation that has been introduced into Christian thought; indeed, wars have been fought in terms of ritual since about the 3rd or 4th century.

Whole new religions have been created in the middle ages and beyond. So belief in after life depends on who you ask. If you ask a Jehovah's Witness for example, they would say that only 144000 are entitled to heaven the way most other Christians believe the afterlife will be like. The rest will live on an earthly paradise to be ruled by Jesus and the 144000.

If you ask a Catholic, their afterlife is divided into three. Where you go depends on what you have done. The most virtuous wind up in paradise. The worst of sinners wind up in Hell.

I'm not entirely sure how Protestants view the afterlife. There are so many denominations, that it is difficult to generalize.

Modern man tends to believe whole heartedly or not at all. Modern man tends to be guided by what the Old and New Testaments say, or not at all.

Which sentence from the passage states a connection between the idea of a national official language and a violation of human rights?

(6) The right to benefit from their government should not be limited by language barriers. Language communication via radio, television, and written material is essential for a basic understanding of an already intimidating political process for many non-native English speakers.

(7) Under S.356, in my role as a government official, my hands would be tied when dealing with my own constituents, for many of whom English is a second language. To suggest that I cannot represent those constituents to the best of my ability and will be forced to essentially exclude them from the political process through English-only written communication is preposterous and insulting. The Constitution of the United States guarantees freedom of speech. Nowhere does it say that it has to be in English. If we enact this bill it will be a limitation of our free society.

In the United States, plants change depending on where they are located. Plants in the northern states must survive harsh, cold winters. These plants tend to lose their leaves and go dormant in the winter in order to use less energy. That way, when spring comes around, they are able to grow and thrive again. Plants in the southern states will go through changes, too, although they are not as noticeable. Plants grow less, and leaves might change colors. However, their leaves do not normally drop off. Plants in the southern states experience a significantly longer growing season compared to the ones in northern states. This is because of the warmer temperatures, increased precipitation, and longer periods of sun. Ultimately, plants adapt to seasonal changes due to where they are located.
