--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: Why should we "obey God rather than men"?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Answer:
Putting God on top of the priority list is a must for all Christians who say that they love God. After all, it's not the number of hallelujahs that we shout on Sundays that matter. Rather, it's through our obedience to His Word that we ultimately show our love for Him.
There's an account in the Bible that shows what kind of Christians we must be – a people who would obey the Lord even if it means discomfort and persecution. In Acts 5, we see Peter and some apostles arrested for teaching the people the truth about Christ. They were healing people in the name of Jesus, and because of this, the temple guards and leading priests during that time confronted them.
Acts 5:26-32 describes how they were confronted, and how Peter responded beautifully.
"The captain went with his Temple guards and arrested the apostles, but without violence, for they were afraid the people would stone them. Then they brought the apostles before the high council, where the high priest confronted them.
"'We gave you strict orders never again to teach in this man's name!' he said. 'Instead, you have filled all Jerusalem with your teaching about him, and you want to make us responsible for his death!'
"But Peter and the apostles replied, 'We must obey God rather than any human authority. The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead after you killed him by hanging him on a cross. Then God put him in the place of honour at his right hand as Prince and Savior. He did this so the people of Israel would repent of their sins and be forgiven. We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.'"
Do we have that same amount of faith and love for Christ, that even in the face of ex-communication, persecution, ridicule, and human authority, we would choose to stand up for Jesus and the truth?
Standing strong in the face of hardship
Peter said, "We must obey God rather than any human authority."
In today's world, various laws and other restrictions are being set up so that any Christian could be prosecuted and legally persecuted for just being true to his faith. Yet, notwithstanding this, we must stand up for Christ and the gospel truth.
There are cases of businesses being sued for declining to serve same-sex marriages. A certain county clerk in America was persecuted for not issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. These people are worthy of our respect as Christians because they stood up for what God says is right.
Today's Christ-followers must realize that we have to stand strong and not be carried away by the world and its offerings. All hope is not lost. Although Christians are being persecuted left and right for standing on their faith in Christ, we must realize that this is to be expected! After all, "in the last days, there will be very difficult times. People will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred." (2 Timothy 3:1-2)
As for us, we must stand strong. The Lord Jesus Himself said in Matthew 24:12-13, "Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved."
Stand strong!

Describe the actions of President Santa Anna that made the Texans believe they had the right to start their own provisional government?
Answer:
When Santa Anna dissolved the state legislature and brought all the power to himself, Texas found itself working under an illegal system of government. So, Texas rebelled along with several other Mexican states (Binkley 41). The Texans originally fought for the Constitution of 1824 but shortly turned to independence. A good illustration of this is the convention which was organized in October 1835 with orders "to secure peace if it is to be obtained on constitutional terms, and to prepare for war, if war be inevitable" (Binkley 60). The first real fight started on September 29, 1835 when General Cos of the Mexican army sent some men to take a cannon from Gonzales. There was a stand off which ended in a skirmish. The Mexicans ran back to San Antonio without the cannon (Lord 38). The Texas revolution had started. The Texans followed the Mexicans to San Antonio and the Alamo where the Texans forced General Cos to surrender and leave Texas. Texas now was in control of the Alamo (Lord 56).

The European Union (EU) serves as a central hub of political and economic collaboration for many European nations. Member states are able to work together to ensure the free movement of people, goods, and capital while maintaining common policies that mutually benefit all included countries. Not all European nations, however, are members of the EU.
Using your knowledge of the EU, its member countries, and other European nations, identify current non-member nations that might wish to become members. Choose one of those non-member nations, and act as its representative by formulating a one-page letter applying for membership to the EU.
Here are some ideas to keep in mind while writing your application:
There are certain conditions for membership a country must meet in order to join the EU. Based on your knowledge of your chosen nation, as well as any additional online research, explain in your letter how your country meets or plans to meet the conditions for membership.
Many organizations are consulted before making the unanimous decision to admit or deny a country acceptance to the EU. These consulting organizations include the Council of the EU, the European Commission, and the European Parliament. Make sure to address the known concerns of these organizations.

Which type of jade was used by many of the ancient Mesoamerican cultures? Explain why this type of jade is unique when compared with other gems. What event in recent history changed geologist’s ideas about where the Mayans and earlier people found the jade they used in their artwork? (Site 1)
(give a real answer that's a short paragraph please.)
Answer:
Jade is unique when compared with other gems because in the excerpt it says "The value of jade to the Mayan people went far beyond its use as an art material. It had deep spiritual significance as well. The Mayan people saw a connection to water and plants in the mineral’s green color. Some evidence suggests that Mayan royalty associated jade with life and death. It was said that a small bead of jade placed on the tongue would absorb the spirit of a dying royal." So this shows that jade was big part of their culture. The event in recent history changed geologist’s ideas about where the Mayans and earlier people found the jade they used in their artwork is when Hurricane Mitch devastated Guatemala and Honduras in 1999, heavy rains and flooding exposed many previously covered deposits of jade. This included a large vein of a rare blue-green variety of jadeite that had been used by the Olmec people.
Explanation:
I got 100% I hope you do to
When compared to other gems, jade is special because, as stated in the excerpt, "The value of jade to the Mayan people went far beyond its use as a building material. It also has a profound spiritual significance.
The Mayans interpreted the mineral's green hue as having a connection to both water and plants. According to certain evidence, jade was equated with life and death by Mayan monarchy.
