What is the comparison between Christianity and gnostic Christianity?

Actually, the writings of Rabbi Shaul (paul) reveal a gnostic interpretation and influence in Christianity. Gnosticism regards the salvation of humankind as a problem of "knowledge" of one's true self. Ignorance is the human condition, gnostics claim, but paul uses this in his interpretation of the divine Jesus as Christ and Lord. The Gentiles (Nations) need to "know" about Jesus as Christ and that there "ignorance" of the judaic law and their god YHVH is keeping them away from salvation or justification. Paul is not extreme in gnosticism, but his writings and thought do reveal an influence and especially of Greek thought and philosophy, since the new testement is in the Greek language, not English.

AnswerGnostics believed (believe) that there is a mystical nature to life that is only revealed to those who are in "the know". The greek word "gnosko" would be translated as "I know" in English. Gnostics believe that humankind's true self is one with God. They look at the material realm similar to a matrix, ie-a lie. The goal of the Gnostic is gnosis, which is to know self and God.

Gnostic Christianity looks at Jesus as a way shower, a teacher who is an aeon who came and comes to show us the way-to help us become a race of Christs.

any division of Christianity is sinful like the roman catholics

The differences between Merry and Pippin in Lord of the Rings are few. In fact the reader might be hard pressed to find any distinguishing characteristics as the sole purpose of these two characters is for them to talk to each other and provide the reader with information. This would be a short essay.

-------------------------

An essay should first start with a thesis topic and then a thesis statement.

The thesis topic defines the general subject that the essay will talk about.

eg. The political career of Justin Banks encompasses fifty years...

The thesis statement defines the particular thing that the essay will be about - will focus on.

eg. ... but it wasn't until he chose to champion the cause of monetary unity that he acquired any facet worthy of historical note. The interest first arouse in him in ....

In the particular case of a short story...

[thesis topic] Each of these girls are meant to represent a certain unique facet of 'being a young women' and each are worthy of a discussion in their own right (excepting perhaps Lydia and Kitty who are very much alike).

What are the pros and cons of rapid application development?

Strengths:

1. The operational version of an application is available much earlier than with Waterfall,

Incremental, or Spiral frameworks.

2. Because RAD produces systems more quickly and to a business focus, this approach

tends to produce systems at a lower cost.

3. Engenders a greater level of commitment from stakeholders, both business and technical,

than Waterfall, Incremental, or Spiral frameworks. Users are seen as gaining more of a

sense of ownership of a system, while developers are seen as gaining more satisfaction

from producing successful systems quickly.

4. Concentrates on essential system elements from user viewpoint.

5. Provides the ability to rapidly change system design as demanded by users.

6. Produces a tighter fit between user requirements and system specifications.

7. Generally produces a dramatic savings in time, money, and human effort.

Weaknesses:

1. More speed and lower cost may lead to lower overall system quality.

2. Danger of misalignment of developed system with the business due to missing

information.

3. Project may end up with more requirements than needed (gold-plating).

4. Potential for feature creep where more and more features are added to the system over the

course of development.

5. Potential for inconsistent designs within and across systems.

6. Potential for violation of programming standards related to inconsistent naming

conventions and inconsistent documentation.

7. Difficulty with module reuse for future systems.

8. Potential for designed system to lack scalability.

9. Potential for lack of attention to later system administration needs built into system.

10. High cost of commitment on the part of key user personnel.

11. Formal reviews and audits are more difficult to implement than for a complete system.

12. Tendency for difficult problems to be pushed to the future to demonstrate early success to

management.

13. Since some modules will be completed much earlier than others, well-defined interfaces

are required.

Is homogenized milk a mechanical mixture or a solution?

If fresh milk is left standing for 24 hours, the fat content will rise to the top making the high fat cream, leaving the low fat milk underneath. In homogenization, the whole milk is pumped at high pressure through narrow tubes breaking up the fat globules which then, as smaller particles, remain in the body of the milk. Homogenized milk is therefor a mechanical mixture.
