What are the affects of anger in spiritual life in Christian perspective?
The main effect is health, and more importantly, doing things as a result of anger (anger-management that can cause people to do stupid if not harmful things to themselves or others). And of course, not controling anger is a problem. It's okay to get angry, but God wants us to control it and not let it get the better of us.
Which presidential candidate does David Jeremiah support?
As a person who knows Dr. Jeremiah personally, I can tell you that he does his best to stay out of politics. Obviously he votes his values and recommends the same for his congregation, but he does not reveal who he believes his listeners and congregation should vote for. That said, he has had Mike Huckabee to his church on at least two occasions.
im pretty sure he is...he talks about God and Jesus in his music...the song Louisiana Rain says: "Thank God for a love that followed the Angel's Remedy." but that doesnt mean he is...but he does talk about how God is with us in his personal life.

What is the reputation of Suffolk University?
In Massachusetts, Suffolk Law is well-respected. It is located in an area concentrated with highly-rated law schools--Boston College, Boston University, Harvard, and Northeastern University--and each of those schools are currently rated in the top 100, making them attractive choices for students interested in "big law" positions. Suffolk is notable for its accessibility for persons less interested in ratings and more interested in options: it is one of the largest law schools in the country and, therefore, offers numerous elective courses for its students. In New England, Suffolk has an excellent reputation, and its graduates are heavily recruited. Even in the book, "How to Get Into Law School," by Susan Estrich, she identifies Suffolk Law School as a "sleeper school," citing its building, location and political connections. So, for a person looking for a law school in New England whose aspirations are also to remain in New England, Suffolk has a great reputation!
What is the meaning of right division in the Church?
"What is the meaning of right division in the Church?"
Read 2 Timothy 2 thru and see if you can find some examples of right division in it.
Notice the use of right division in verses 11-13. There is a difference between living with Him and reigning with Him. You also might read chapter 3 of 1 Corinthians. There are the just and the unjust, believers, but divided as to rewards. And some have no reward at all, and so are saved as by fire. Loss of reward.
In verses 17 & 18, a couple of men have said that the resurrection is past already at that time, but they had divided the Word wrongly.
And in verses 20,21 there is a division of vessels. They should not be mixed or one confused with the other. In other words, do not mix the bread in the garbage pail!
AnswerThe answer to this question really depends on what you're referring to as "right division." Based on the passage you cite in your own answer (hint hint ;) ), it includes the phrase "rightly dividing the word of truth," as translated in the King James Version and the New King James Version, among others. (The Revised Standard Version and the New International Version, among others, translate that phrase "correctly [handling] the word of truth.")Indeed, there are to be "divisions" of a sort in the body of Christ, even though that sounds strange and unloving. There are people in churches who are there merely to "check off the box" and say they've attended. Some of these may very well be those who will cry "Lord, Lord," to whom He will respond, "Depart from me, I never knew you." (Matthew 7:23) Does that mean that Christians should shoo them off? Sometimes, yes. There are those who hold themselves back, and there are those who will drag down the entire congregation with them ... another division. 1 and 2 Corinthians mention a situation in that congregation where Paul says, in his first letter (or at least the first one we have in the Bible), to kick them out. By the time he got around to writing the second letter, though, the individual had mended his ways; there, Paul says to welcome him back with open arms.
God is love, but that doesn't imply a lack of discipline when necessary. In fact, He corrects those whom He loves.
- Job 36:10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. ;)
