Territorial, High-Ranking Spirits Analysis

181 Words1 Page

I agree with Greenwood’s view of territorial, high-ranking spirits have authority over specific territory. Her argument is based on several Old Testament scriptures and the idea that the gods of the gentile nations are actually demons. She uses Daniel 10 with the mention of the prince of Persia and the prince of Greece to support her belief in territorial spirits. However she uses the exorcism of the slave girl in Acts 16 to conclude that the demonic spirit is a territorial spirit. Based on this text I have hesitation in coming to this conclusion. There is nothing in the text to support this idea. Her deduction from this is a bit risky. In general I do not agree with her on promoting strategic-level deliverance as the main strategy in

  • Summary Of A Better War By Lewis Sorley

    Abrams also stressed a “one war” concept that put equal emphasis on military operations, improvement of the Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces, and pacification – all of which are codependent so that the better we do in one, the more our chance of progress in others (18). The changes in tactics under Abrams, and in the concept of the nature of the war, and even the enemy reaction to battlefield reserves, by no means meant an end to fierce combat, or even to large-scale military operations (138). America’s principal national objective became peace. Abrams policy proved to be better than the policy of attrition. The policy of attrition simply meant, under those circumstances, a very prolonged type of warfare, whereas the U.S. can clear and hold, and keep an area secure, and keep the enemy out.

Conclusion Providing a strong leadership approach and willingness to take risk, Major General Petraeus was put on a mission to develop and implement strategy to establish stability in Mosul, Iraq.

    Prior to ordering the evacuation of Atlanta in preparation for his march, General William T.Sherman wrote to the mayor and city council of Atlanta stating, “You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out. I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices to-day than any of you to secure peace.” This quote explains the concept of “Total War”, a military conflict in which the parties involved devote themselves to sacrificing, or doing anything to completely win a war (“Sherman’s March”).

After reading the Apostles of Disunion: Southern Secession Commissioners and the Causes of the Civil War, I agree that the war was fought because of state’s rights. The people in the South wanted to keep slavery and were going to do anything they could to keep slavery. They believe that the government was trying to oppress the South by making them get rid of their slaves.

    Planners as they develop strategies for achieving military objectives will war-game their strategies according to three separate criteria- feasible, acceptable and suitable. Each distinct in its criteria. First applying the test of feasibility to your strategy is to validate whether the plan you’ve developed is something that actually “can be done.” In other words, with the forces and resources available could the mission be successful. Secondly, you must look at the acceptable criteria, even though a plan may be feasible, if you were to lose 80% of your forces achieving the mission it may not be acceptable based on how important the objectives you are trying to achieve.

    Finding Justification for Injustice What politician hasn’t used religion as an unwavering piece of justification in an argument? All throughout history, politicians have used religion countless times to justify behavior or simply to avoid unflattering questions. Authors and characters are guilty of this as well. “The Crucible” and “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” include evidence that individuals use religion as justification to prey on other’s fears and insecurities, to use as evidence to explain an occurrence or phenomenon, or to pass judgement on another person because Miller wishes to shed light on the manipulation of ideas and religion, and Edwards wishes to persuade his audience through these tactics.
