While it might seem like there are all sorts of different types of people in the world, a lot of people say that there are only two: left-brained people and right-brained people. Left-brained people are way more logical, methodical and analytical. These people would make good scientists and businessmen. On the other hand, people with right-leaning brains are more intuitive, thoughtful, creative and artistic. What type of person should you date? It might seem kind of easy at first. If you're left-brained then you should hang out with someone left-brained, and if you're right-brained you should hang out with someone right-brained, right? Well not so fast, there is the whole "opposites attract" thing to think about. If you're all mellow and laid back, then maybe you need someone who is uptight and task driven to keep you in the real world so you can get things accomplished. And if you're the kind of person that is all wound up all the time, then maybe you need someone in your life who is mellow to get you to stop and smell the roses from time to time. What kind of person is best for you romantically, left-brained or right-brained? Take this quiz to find out. Do you try to solve problems even before they happen? Yes, I always do that. No, but I wouldn't mind if my partner did. I hardly ever do that. I don't even know what you're talking about. I can't stand emotional people. No, but it does me some good. For the most part, I do. Yes, it makes me feel alive. Yes. I live for planning! Well, I try to plan as much as possible. No, but sometimes it helps to have someone plan for me.


Stephen (Greek: Στέφανος Stéphanos, meaning "wreath, crown" and by extension "reward, honor, renown, fame", often given as a title rather than as a name; c. According to the Acts of the Apostles, he was a deacon in the early Church at Jerusalem who angered members of various synagogues by his teachings. Saul of Tarsus, later known as Paul, a Pharisee and Roman citizen who would later become a Christian apostle, participated in Stephen's martyrdom. The only source for information about Stephen is the New Testament book of the Acts of the Apostles. Stephen is mentioned in Acts 6 as one of the Greek-speaking Hellenistic Jews selected to participate in a fairer distribution of welfare to the Greek-speaking widows. The Catholic, Anglican, Oriental Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox, and love Lutheran churches and the Church of the East view Stephen as a saint. Artistic representations often show Stephen with a crown symbolising martyrdom, three stones, martyr's palm frond, censer, and often holding a miniature church building.


Stephen is often shown as a young, beardless man with a tonsure, T.antj.link/192379/3788/0?bo=3471,3472,3473,3474,3475&po=6456&aff_sub5=SF_006OG000004lmDN wearing a deacon's vestments. Stephen is first mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles as one of seven deacons appointed by the Apostles to distribute food and charitable aid to poorer members of the community in the early church. According to Orthodox belief, he was the eldest and is therefore called "archdeacon". As another deacon, Nicholas of Antioch, is specifically stated to have been a convert to Judaism, it may be assumed that Stephen was born Jewish, but nothing more is known about his previous life. The reason for the appointment of the deacons is stated to have been dissatisfaction among Hellenistic (that is, https://t.antj.link/192379/3788/0?bo=3471 Greek-influenced and Greek-speaking) Jews that their widows were being slighted in preference to Hebraic ones in the daily distribution of food. Since the name "Stephanos" is Greek, it has been assumed that he was one of these Hellenistic Jews. Stephen is stated to have been full of faith and the Holy Spirit and to have performed miracles among the people.


It seems to have been among synagogues of Hellenistic Jews that he performed his teachings and "signs and wonders" since it is said that he aroused the opposition of the "Synagogue of the Freedmen", and "of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them that were of Cilicia and Asia". Members of these synagogues had challenged Stephen's teachings, but Stephen had bested them in debate. Furious at this humiliation, they suborned false testimony that Stephen had preached blasphemy against Moses and God. They dragged him to appear before the Sanhedrin, the supreme legal court of Jewish elders, accusing him of preaching against the Temple and the Mosaic Law. Stephen is said to have been unperturbed, his face looking like "that of an angel". In a long speech to the Sanhedrin comprising almost the whole of Acts chapter 7, Stephen presents his view of the history of Israel. The God of glory, he says, appeared to Abraham in Mesopotamia, thus establishing at the beginning of the speech one of its major themes, that God does not dwell only in one particular building (meaning the Temple).
