God

lover for my wish to be successful and make my mother happy and my heavenly father who is with me all the time, which I’m sure you know, his name is God. To be quite honest, you will see who I am and you will see the fire in my heart that makes me want to accomplish everything in my life. You’ll see the glow in my eyes, and you’ll know that with God by my side anything and everything is possible for me. I’m the hope of my mother’s one and truly, last love because we both have faced numerous and…

man’s innate character and relationship with God. Edwards obviously believes in an intense relationship with God relating to his strong Puritan beliefs, but the text of Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God shows to what extent his God is omnipotent and inarguably angry. The carefully chosen rhetoric of the sermon depicts almost graphic images of the sheer revulsion of humanity and the ultimate power God holds over such contemptuous and weak beings. “The God that holds you over the pit of hell,…

or not Christians and Muslims worship the same God. This controversy still continues today, and both sides present very informative arguments. It is important to make clear that if one does argue that Christians and Muslims worship the same God, it does not mean they believe that both religions are the same. Many people on the side that Christians and Muslims do not worship the same God will argue that although both religions worship one God, the God they worship different vastly. While those on…

Reeves argues that we look at God in a very one-dimensional way and that humanity tends to look at God and project qualities that only exhibit a part of God. (pg 20) Quoting Karl Barth Reeves argued that even Hitler knew who God was, but that Hitler missed the full point that “… God is almighty, but he wanted to make very clear that mere might is not who God is.” (pg 20). God goes far beyond just power, and Reeves moves on to show that God doesn’t just flex muscles at us in hopes of us loving…

hidden beauty/meaning; which is man can overcome issues that come to hand, but when those issues become more religious and out of man's power they need to rely on ‘God’ to save them. The name Michael came from a hebrew origin meaning ‘who is like god’ ( stranger between worlds, n.d.) St. Michael was to be created as the closest thing to god who can save man. The way this painting has been portrayed it shows the tangibility (ways of seeing, episode 3). It depicts that an individual whom is a…

an Angry God, Jonathan Edwards went back to get sinners and also just people in general to get back into the church so that they could continue to be with God. The intended audience for this passage is people who are doubting God and are going against his wishes. Jonathan wants to persuade the sinners to go back and reconnect with God. He uses the fear that they have to convince them to go back to church. By doing this he wants the sinners to know that they are only alive because of God and if…

In almost all religions, God is seen as perfect; he has unlimited power (omnipotent), all knowing (omniscient), and infinite benevolence (omnibenevolent). Because of this, people have difficulty in explaining why an all knowing, powerful, benevolent God would allow evil to exist in our universe. The term is called The Problem of Evil, and has been a topic of debates for hundreds of years. In “Dialogue on Good, Evil, and the Existence of God” by John Perry, three philosophers discuss the dilemma.…

Sage 1.The purpose of Yom Kippur is to bring about reconciliation between people and between individuals and God. 2.Traditionally it is the day where God decides fate of each and everyone of us. 3.Fate is dramatic, but this day is viewed as a happy one by those who celebrate.

Alan Dershowitz writes a chapter in his book called “God Overreacts—and Floods the World. In this chapter it talks about the different versions of the flood story you hear anywhere. The bible has two different versions and people either believe one or the other. Either it’s the story of Noah or the story of Utanapishtim. Dershowitz talks about the how the defense lawyers and the traditional commentators and talk about what they believed the reason for the flood was. He then puts either quotes or…

I have decided to analyses his chapter “Acts of God” in relations to ethos, pathos and logos. Reece’s purpose of this chapter is to show the hardships of the people affected directly by mountain top removal, as well as how the companies that fund this method react and undermine their arguments to receive justice. It also explains how strong religious beliefs help drive the community to seek a change, or an impedance. However, this change is not in this life time. They practice acceptance and…
