Reflection on the Lord’s Prayer The Christological heresy of Apollinarianism and the Trinitarian heresy of Dynamic Monarchianism compromise Jesus’ divinity‚ humanity‚ and unity. A belief that compromises Jesus’ divinity‚ humanity‚ or unity is an outright denial of the incarnation. A denial of the incarnation of Jesus Christ distorts Jesus’ unity with the Father and sinners; which therefore distorts the meaning of the Lord’s Prayer as the Church would pray it‚ (Work “Loving Jesus the Wrong

The United States‚ with all its rights‚ is beginning to hold back on one of its most important. I believe that school boards should not be allowed to limit students’ free expression of religion as they have been allowed in occasions. This includes prayer during school hours and after school hours (at football games‚ graduation ceremonies‚ etc.).
