Theory:

To begin a child's life, a mother, a father and God are needed. The life and childhood begin at conception. If the childhood begins at conception, the parenthood can't begin nine months later. The two have to start simultaneously. They begin together at conception.

That theory is actually a fact, accordingly to the Book of Genesis.

The first framework adopted by Keady is masculinity studies, specifically Raewyn Connell's hegemonic masculinity, which Keady applies to the Rule of the Community (in its 1QS form) and the War Scroll (in its 1QM form), to demonstrate the vulnerable and uncontrollable aspects of...

Christianity has been a major world religion for thousands of years. Each new incarnation-the Roman Catholic Church, the Protestant Reformation, and everything in between-has come with its own interpretation of the original teachings laid out by Jesus Christ and his disciples.
