God's messengers to mankind
But these glimpses of life beyond the veil are only occasional. The angels of the Bible generally appear in the role of God's messengers to mankind. They are His instruments by whom He communicates His will tomen, and in Jacob's visionthey are depicted as ascending and descending the ladder which stretches from earth to heaven while the Eternal Father gazes upon the wanderer below. It was an angel who found Agar in the wilderness(Genesis 16); angels drewLot out of Sodom; an angel announces to Gideon that he is to save his people; an angel foretells the birth ofSamson (Judges 13), and the angel Gabriel instructsDaniel (Daniel 8:16), though he is not called an angel in either of these passages, but "the man Gabriel" (9:21). Thesame heavenly spiritannounced the birth of St. John the Baptist and theIncarnation of the Redeemer, while tradition ascribes to him both the message to the shepherds (Luke 2:9), and the most glorious mission of all, that of strengthening theKing of Angels in His Agony(Luke 22:43). The spiritualnature of the angels is manifested very clearly in the account which Zachariasgives of the revelationsbestowed upon him by the ministry of an angel. Theprophet depicts the angel as speaking "in him". He seems to imply that he wasconscious of an interior voice which was not that ofGod It is with the spirit-messenger alone that we are here concerned. We have to discuss
the meaning of the term in the Bible,the offices of the angels,the names assigned to the angels,the distinction between good and evil spirits,the divisions of the angelic choirs,the question of angelic appearances, and the development of the scriptural idea of angels. The division in social: Consequently the motherly influence must also extend over these and must be kept within the bounds corresponding to the division of labour between man and woman. In these forms of social life also man must vigorously represent authority, while woman, called to the dignity of the mother, must supplement and aid the labour of the man by her unwearied collaboration. This truth is stated in homely fashion in the expressions "father of the country", "mother of the country". Hence man, as man, and woman, as woman, have to attain the common highest end of moral perfection, which extends beyond time by the fulfillment here below of social duties. Contrary to the fundamental principle of historical research, the Darwinian theory of evolution has also been applied to the original position of the sexes. A primitive hetaerism without any permanent marital relation is claimed to be the basis of the later evolution. The first stage of this development, however, is represented as "the right of the mother" or matriarchy, whereby not the man but the woman, it is claimed, represented, among the peoples, the legal head of the family.
However, the researches of Bachofen, Engels, Lubbock, Post, Lippert, Dargun, and others, who wished to produce proof for this hypothesis by generalizing individual phenomena, have been confuted even by strong Darwinians: "No community has been found where women alone could rule" (Starke, "Die primitive Familie", Leipzig, 1888, 69) Like the "primitive peoples" themselves
"Proofs";
Proof is the establishment of a disputed or controverted matter by lawful means or arguments. Proof is the result of evidence; evidence is the medium of proof. There is no proof without evidence, but there may be evidence without proof; Proof is judicial, if offered in court; otherwise it is extra judicial. Proof is perfect, or complete, when it produces full conviction, and enables the judge without further investigation to pronounce sentence: imperfect, or incomplete, if it begets probability only. Canonists enumerate six kinds of perfect proof: the unshaken deposition of two witnesses, who are above all suspicion; a public document, or other instrument having the force of a public document, as, for instance, a certified copy of a public instrument; conclusive presumption oflaw; the decisive oath; Much Like a Marriage oath as to example into Government a Decisive Oath a Cover to uncovered Woman lacking Marriage:
Notion and divisions
An oath is an invocation to God to witness the truth of a statement. It may be express and direct, as when one swears by God Himself; or implicit and tacit, as when we swear by creatures, since they bear a special relation to the Creator and manifest His majesty and the supreme Truth in a special way: for instance, if one swears by heaven, the throne of God (Matthew 5:34), by the Holy Cross, or by the Gospels. Imprecatory oaths are also tacit (see below). To have an oath in foro interno, there must be the intention, at least virtual, of invoking the testimony of God, and a word or sign by which the intention is manifested. Oaths may be: (1) assert or you affirmative I if we call God to witness the assertion of a past or present fact; promissory, if we call Him to witness a resolution which we bind ourselves to execute, or a vow made to Him, or an agreement entered into with our neighbour, or a vow made to God in favour of a third party; every promissory oath includes of necessity an asset tort oath (see below). A promissory oath accompanied by a threat against a third party is said to be comminatory; (2) contest at or two simple I if there is a mere invocation of the Divine testimony; in precatory—or expect at or yeas in the formula "So help me God"; if at the same time we call upon God as a judgeand avenger of perjury,offering Him our property and especially our life and eternal salvation, or those of our friends, as a pledge of our sincerity. Thus the expression: "Upon my soul", often used without any intention of swearing, may be either contest at or yet he soul being in a special manner the image of God — or expect at or you'd we wish to call down upon our soul Divine punishment, either temporal or eternal, in case we be wanting in sincerity; (3) private, if used between private individuals; public, if exacted by public authorities; public oaths are divided into: (a) doctrinal, by which one declares that he holds a given doctrine, or promises to be faithful, to teach, and to defend a given doctrine in the future; (b) political, which have as their object the exercise of any authority whatsoever, or submission to such an authority or laws; (c) judicial, which are taken in courts of justice either by the parties to the suit or the witnesses there of.
