Background of Puritanism 1620 - William Bradford came with a group of individuals from Europe and formed Plymouth Plantation. In the Fall of 1620 there were 101 men, women, and children present.

The Puritans would ?search? their daily lives in order to find any symbols from God.

1. All of the teachings show you a way to connect with something outside of this daily world. For all of these major religions, something must be given up or followed in order to reach something greater. They also are all a way to improving who you are whether you do it in a community or you seek God all on your own. Jews see improvement through the Old Testament laws of the community. Christians find it in a pure heart. Islam sees it in obeying practices and Buddhists find it in nirvana.

Selected Proverbs of Ahikar The Wise 1. Hear, O my son Nadan, and come to the understanding of me, and be mindful of my words, as the words of God. 2. My son Nadan, if thou hast heard a word, let it die in thy heart, and reveal it to no man; lest it become a hot coal in thy mouth and burn thee, and thou lay a blemish on thy soul, and be angered against God. 3. My son, do not tell all that thou hearest, and do not disclose all that thou seest. 4. My son, do not loose a knot that is sealed, and do not seal one that is loosed. 5. My son, commit not adultery with the wife of thy neighbor; lest others should commit adultery with thy wife. 6.

Patrick Sayers Period 8 2/12/14 Ten Commandments I am the Lord thy God and thou shalt not have any strange gods before me. This commandment applies to me in my life because I am a Catholic and I believe in one God because I am monotheistic. I will actively live out the first commandment because I believe in one God only, and I will always be in the Catholic religion. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. I say bless you to someone that sneezes in the classroom, or when I see the sun go up in the morning I say Jesus Christ has shown us another beautiful day. I am going to actively live out the second commandment in my life by using Gods name for the good of others, like blessing them, or asking God to help them.
