God

worship idols. “Ahura (God) is everywhere at once. He is all-knowing. He knows what we are thinking and doing at this very moment. When Ahura Mazda first created humanity, He gave the following order: “Be diligent to save you souls; I shall then provide for your bodily matters. For it is impossible to save your souls, without you. There is a remedy for everything but death, a hope for everything but wickedness, and everything will lapse except righteousness.” – Zoroaster God created humans to…

“Justice Should Be Served” “With great power comes with great responsibility,” Uncle Ben of Spiderman once said. When a heavy task is given to someone, he should do his best and be responsible for the task assigned to him. The story “Visitation of the Gods” says otherwise. The greater the power, the easier life a person would have. That is why the role of education for each person is important, it helps him realize the burden placed on his shoulder; this is also a vital part for his growth.…

All of Fate in the Hands of the Gods Although The Oedipus Cycle may not be a trilogy, all three plays have one constant element: the constant involvement of the gods in each and every situation. Antigone, Oedipus Rex, and Oedipus at Colonus all have a constant factor in each play which is the role of the gods in each play. The gods control every aspect of life throughout the plays. Although they may not be physically visible, the gods have total control of the fate of an every member of the…

1. Could the will of God be the only guide to which actions are morally right? 1100-1300 words The question of whether the will of god determines what actions are morally right utimately rests on the assumption that he exists. As there has been no scientific proof on either side of that particular argument, this problem quickly stagnates. It is often left with people agreeing to disagree, or trying to change the other person 's belief to match their own. If god does not exist, then there is…

Athanasius was the chief deacon assistant to Bishop Alexander of Alexandria. A man called Arius denied that Christ was fully God. He claimed that Christ was father’s creation and thus Christ wasn’t supposed to be considered as God, arguing on a fact that Christ could not offer salvation (Dennison, Jr.). Athanasius challenged this view by giving examples of his own. The incarnation of the Word is his most famous writing (Galli). He also describes how Christ can give salvation. According to him,…

you believed in God or not, what would you say? This topic is all about God and Atheism. Even though there are tons of people that don't have the faintest idea what they believe in, and you read my topic, you'll have a clue of what you believe in. Atheism and theism is two different things. Theism is a belief for God, and atheism is not a belief for God. I'm going to argue about what I think between these two sides. I've done six researches on my topic. The first is called The God Debate. In…

Ancient Rome the people adopted a Greek religion of worshiping gods and goddesses. The Romans found peace in having someone to blame for every single thing that happened in their lives. These gods and goddesses have different powers, and each one is responsible in their own way. The people of Rome strongly worshiped theses deities and sometimes the way that they worshiped them would get a bit out of control. From ruling all other gods and goddesses to being in charge of the underworld, these…

DhandIf God is Good, Why is there Evil in the World Why do bad things happen to good people? The idea of Evil has been a problematic question for religions, since its beginnings.

In order to explain things, we often blame God for the evil that exists in this world “If God is good, why do good people suffer?” "How can God exist if…

rela- tionship with the gods, who are facets of the divine. As I mentioned briefly in chap- ter 2, the two main aspects of deity that Wiccans work with are simply called the Goddess and the God. They are the female and male “halves” of the divine. In Wic- can thought, the union of the Goddess and God creates the universe. The rela- tionship between the Goddess and God is symbiotic. Like darkness and light, each half needs the other to express itself fully. The God represents, among…
