Define-
1) Birth- the act or process of bearing of bringing forth offspring; childbirth; parturition {how does this definition relate to our study: “the ‘birth’ of fractured society”?}
2) Fractured- 1. The characteristic appearance of a broken surface, as of a mineral 2. a break, breach, or split
3) The fall- a becoming less; a lowering of decline; a sinking to a lower level {Please explain how you came up with your definitions and how do they relate to our study?}
4) Blinding and write down the Greek word. (2 Corinthians 4:3-4) 1. unable to see; lacking the sense of sight 2. to make obscure of dark: Kalupto- to hide, veil {Please explain how you came up with this as the Greek word for “blinded”.}
