According to Jean Piaget, reading involves a cognitive process where individuals construct meaning through interaction with the text. Piaget believed that reading comprehension develops as a result of assimilation and accommodation of new information into existing cognitive structures. He emphasized that reading is a complex activity that requires understanding and interpreting text based on one's prior knowledge and experiences.

Christians bury their dead as a way to show respect for the deceased and honor the body, which is seen as a vessel for the soul. While the Bible does not explicitly command burial, it does mention several examples of burial being practiced in the Old and New Testaments, which has influenced Christian burial traditions.

In the Bible, there is no account of Jesus personally burying the dead. However, there are stories of Jesus performing miracles related to death, such as raising people from the dead, like Lazarus in the Gospel of John.

The Greek word for "new" is "νέος" (neos).

Jesus said "Let the dead bury their own dead" in response to a man who wanted to bury his father before following Jesus. This statement highlights the importance of prioritizing spiritual matters over worldly concerns.

This sentence is fine until the last word, which is redundant. Grammatically it's not incorrect, but the redundancy makes the sentence awkward to read. Also, the word "first", if you want to use it, should be placed earlier in the sentence. Better would be any of the following: John cannot go until he finishes his work.

John cannot go now. He must finish his work first. Even this would be better, though it's still redundant: John cannot go until he first finishes his work.

The first electronic digital computer, known as the ENIAC, was developed during World War II by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert in the United States. It was completed in 1945 and was used by the military to perform complex calculations that would aid in the war effort. ENIAC was a groundbreaking development that paved the way for the modern computer age.

Eli never wanted to spend a penny. When the story mentioned "all of the lights were on in his house, so we knew he wasn't too well. He would have charged them for every extra penny...", we can see how Eli was very stingy with his money.

When the newspaper announcing that he had bought over 15 acres of land for a new park that he would be funding the construction of, he would have spent more money than he had ever had in his lifetime.

Fortunately, this led to Doc figuring out that *spoiler* Eli was the killer of his father and older brother due to all of the "extra" money he found laying around and the moving of the memorials for Doc's father and brother.

Joy is an internal quality God gave us when we were born again. We experience joy as we walk in fellowship with God according to His Word.

Psalms 16:8,9 "I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope."

Hebrews 12:2 "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

With the power of the holy spirit in our lives, we experience joy regardless of circumstances because it is due to what Jesus Christ wrought for us.

Psalms 16:11 "Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore."

Jeremiah 15:16 "Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts."

I Thessalonians 1:6 "And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:"

Galatians 5:22 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,"

Psalms 105:43 "And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:"

Jesus Christ, man's redeemer, is the central theme of all the scriptures, interwoven throughout the Old and New Testaments, just as a red thread may weave through a tapestry. The believers of the Old Testament looked forward to the coming of the redeeming Messiah. The believers of the New Testament look forward to his second coming.

I Thessalonians 4:16,17 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

John's Gospel, which Elaine Pagels sees as containing an element of anti-Thomas narrative, has Thomas miss out on receiving the Holy Spirit. The Gospel says that Jesus met the disciples in an upper room in Jerusalem, with Thomas absent, and breathed on each of the disciples and gave them the Holy Spirit. He met the disciples again a few days later, when Jesus showed 'Doubting Thomas' his wounds, but did not give him the Holy Ghost.

However, Acts of the Apostles was in a somewhat different tradition, in which the disciples clearly had not received the Holy Spirit before Jesus was taken up into heaven. In this story, all the disciples - Thomas included - received the Holy Spirit as tongues of fire on the day of Pentecost.
