Ambedkar" and "Homosexuality and the Bible," I learned about the topics at hand, as well as how to prevent certain aspects in my writing, such as use of fallacies and scare tactics. The topics were very interesting and helped me to gain a knowledge about topics I had views and opinions on; however, knew little about. With the guidance of my professor and the research done while doing these two research papers, I know how to write more correctly now and how to catch and avoid certain things, such as fallacies.
I learned that in the research paper titled "B. R. Ambedkar," I believe I could have cited less and written more from what I had read on the topic. I noticed I cited a lot; which is good, but only to a certain extent. I noticed that I could have used a few less quotations in my writing, as well. It tends to drown out the meat of what I am trying to say in getting my point across, as well as the information.
As far as the "Homosexuality and the Bible" research paper, I noticed that when I am trying to get my points across, I do not have to use scare tactics in order to do this. I can simply make an argument by stating my point and backing it up with evidence. I learned that you must be careful in how you express and phrase opinions toward others about certain issues. The issues can become very sticky, especially when the issues have to do with religion and homosexuality.
Fallacies were used as well in "Homosexuality and the Bible," without deliberate intention. For example, I noticed I did not provide the needed degree of support for certain arguments, as needed. I did not back them up with substance, which caused weak arguments in certain cases. In future writings, I am now able to utilize the tools I learned in this class to better my writing skills and avoid any inconsistencies.

An ancient text may not seem to have messages that modern readers can understand, but the challenge of reading the Bible with fresh eyes is not insurmountable. In fact, the rewards of reading and applying the Bible are infinite. As McKnight (2008) states, "no one does everything the Bible says," (p. 12). The Bible was written for an
And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life" King James Version ( Exodus 21:22-23) This is an example of an abortion case which is minimal yet needs justice to be served by the civil authorities. In this example, there are four sensitive phrases which needs to be emphasized and interpreted in order to bring out the intensity of this abortion issues, the phrases/sentences are; "If men
In contrast to a diachronic approach is a synchronic approach. This constitutes an examination of something at a single point in time. There is no speculation or even consideration of how the phenomenon might have been in the past or how it might be in the future. A synchronic approach is a form of reification, a privileging of one moment in time over all others. Two examples of diachronic analysis that

Conclusion The purpose of this discussion was to examine the Influence of the Bible on Christian mission. The investigation found that the bible serves as the foundation or blue print for the Christian faith and as such it is essential to spreading the gospel of Christ.
