The answer is adoption. Paul uses adoption to describe the new life that people have in Christ.

EXPLANATION

This is the content of Romans 8:15,

"The Spirit you received does not make you slaves so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him, we cry, 'Abba, Father.'"

In Roman 8:15, it explains that if a person has lived with Christ, then the person’s relationship with God has changed forever. The person is now seen as God’s child, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

In Roman 8:14, Paul wrote that anyone who is led with the Spirit of God is considered as His children. If we believe in God, then we will be freed from slavery to sin, and now we are slaves of righteousness (slaves of God).

Yet, in the next verse, which is Roman 8:15, Paul makes it clearer from misunderstandings, that God actually does not see us at His slave at all, but we are His son. God did not free us from sin just to make us his slave, but we are actually seen as His own children. This also involves the Holy Spirit.

God adopt us as His children by the Holy Spirit. More simply, God changed our status into being His son or His daughter. We are no longer alone and have to walk our ways by ourselves, but we have God as our father to guide us along the way.

Closely examine the Great Depression in 1929

Maslowich

Economic euphoria in the United States began in the early 1920s, where large companies began to invest in bonds on the stock market. The economy showed an infinite sea of possibilities. Exaggerated consumption, high profits and the whole culture of the American Way of Life. A whole culture built on the pillars of market and consumption.

However, from this growth was projected that crisis that is considered as the largest that Capitalism has ever faced. A systemic crisis, where the hitherto winning capitalist model decays. The economy that largely revolved around stock market speculation, and therefore artificial, thus found its limit and breaks at the time of the "New York Stock Exchange" on October 24, 1929.

The main factors leading to the crash were the result of the economic euphoria itself. The increase in consumption caused industries to increase their production as well, however at some point there was no longer a market for such a large production which caused countless industries to fail because they could not sell their productions.

Another factor of the great crisis was agricultural overproduction. The agricultural market as well as the industries, accompanying the growth of consumption began to produce more than the market could absorb. Mainly wheat production was affected by the downturn in the market.

How would each type of the three ethical theories used to discuss sexual morality in this chapter address the issue of homosexua

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Ethical theories have rules/principles that are used to determine right or wrong in any given situation. In this situation will be used Utilitarian, Kant and Natural law theories.

Utilitarians: use to consider the greatest good for all, so is the case to consider if a homosexual relation is beneficial to all involved. Also society judgment should depend on if it had good or bad social consequences. For Kant’s ethics (which is basically based on reason not emotion) the actions are judged in terms of respects for others and should be based on honesty and good intentions. Finally, for Natural law ethics it would be analyzed from whether the practice is consistent with the human nature.
