The mid-1500s, john calvin taught that humans could not change their fate through prayer, faith, or good deeds. this philosophy became known astion?

PREDESTINATION

Explanation:

John Calvin taught that salvation was entirely by God's grace, but his emphasis was on what that meant to our understanding of God.  He made the key factor all about God's glory.  As summarized by Evangelical Focus, "The real marvel of justification in Calvin’s thought was not that a sinner found himself (herself) pardoned from all iniquity but rather that God was being glorified through the salvation of such a transgressor.  "   So Calvin's emphasis in his teaching regarding salvation was as much about the glory of God as it was about the grace of God.  

Calvin's central emphasis was on the sovereignty of God.   Sovereignty means God is in charge and whatever he determines is final.  This showed itself especially in Calvin's teaching on predestination -- meaning that God decided in advance which persons would be saved and which would not.  Calvin taught that God chose from eternity the persons he would bring to heaven and the persons he would condemn to hell.  He saw this as a testimony to God's sovereign power.  In Calvin's theology, only God has freedom of choice; human beings do not.

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!

***websites that me understand the curriculum better last year are and ***

the correct answer is a) egypt and china.

egypt and china are two of the world’s oldest civilizations known by man. both ancient empires have left a great historic and cultural legacy to the world through archeology. both civilzations developed complex social relations, had deep religious beliefs, had dominion of agriculture and left writing records to understand their customs and culture.

among the requirements to consider a civilization, we find urbanization, writing records, a place of residence, agriculture methods, technological specialization, means of transportation, currency, population density, social stratification, and political integration.
