Conflicting Beliefs

Improved Essays
How does your belief system impact the people around you?
I have a conflicting belief system. It is not conflicting because it clashes with myself or is constantly changing, it is conflicting because it goes against the everyday things that we are subject. I don’t accept new trends and I don’t take anything for face value.
I have a conflicting belief with “God.” I’m not an atheist by any means but I do question the norm. My mother is a Christian and lady and has her reasons to believe.
I often find that we view the Bible in completely different ways. I believe it is meant to be that way. Nobody looks at a Picture and see the image the same way without any outside influence. I think there is a connection we have that should not be there. We should not all like the same things but for some reason we do. That leads to one of my beliefs that people are programmed, and that’s one of the things I despise of. I have a deep phobia of being programmed and

I do this and never get pulled aboard and always have to find another way up. This is very frustrating at times and people view me as being angry just like 90% of black men in America. I am frustrated because people sometimes sidetrack my drive just to steal my car. I’m angry at myself because I lose focus so easily not anyone else.
I try and talk to people despite me knowing that I will never be understood. I have always been a social person despite our minds being so distant. I feel we should go to ourselves to solve our problems, so I often find myself Isolated from other people. It is not that I want to be in a bubble but I often find myself talking within myself for a scripture. This comes from being misled my whole life. Most times I was misled it was not even intentional. These people honestly thought they were doing something right. So this often affects the way I take

    Everyone at some point in their life has an issue dealing with self-identity. Whether it has to do with personal beliefs, or losing a loved one, everyone goes through it. We all have a time where we just want to figure out who we really are, and I mean that could take years. I went through that phase most of my years here at Fort. I tried being friends with everyone, and after a while I started to realize that maybe some of the people that I was hanging out with weren’t the best influence on me and on my faith.…

    Hammurabi’s influence on punishment and modern society When reading Hammurabi’s code and reaching rule #22: “If anyone is committing a robbery and is caught, then he shall be put to death. ”1 We may agree that it is or it is not the most suitable punishment; however, such punishment is considered just when the code is written to enforce the importance of these rules. In today’s society, the punishment for similar crimes became more lenient than the codes during Hammurabi’s rule as society has grown more merciful and not all crimes are considered equal. Today the code is applicable to the definition of the crimes only, but the punishments for them has shifted over time from the literal letter of the code to a more what we would call…

    Now more than ever, the world is more closely connected through the nearly-instantaneous exchange of ideas and information. This exchange of ideas means that collaboration for the advancement of knowledge on a particular subject is possible and facilitates advancements in that field. On the other hand, having access to the abundance of contrasting ideas also means that people have more to think about and more they can argue about. One of said arguments is whether the Bible is really trustworthy. There are too many different beliefs about the Bible to list them all, but some of the main ones are that the Bible is the word of God and true and trustworthy, the Bible is just a book written by man and, therefore, vulnerable to the weaknesses of any human-written work and fallible, or that the Bible is mostly true but has some inaccuracies, thus casting doubt as to whether it is inspired by God.…

    Tammy, I totally agree with your explanation. To expound on it, the Michelson’s separate hermeneutics and exegesis to help correct, from what I see, the inexperienced study scripture. The context of a particular writing and its form can say a lot about a passage. I am taking the Psalms class here at Regent and have to say that different forms of writing make a difference. I am not saying that the inexperienced reader cannot gather great information and learn the truth of God, however, when it comes to dogmatic doctrine, learning this way of study is paramount.…

    The art of deception is something that all humans are familiar with. For many people, falling victim to this action will happen quite a few times throughout one's lifetime. The question can be how to react to such an instance when the reality of the situation comes to life.

    A Thousand Experiences Throughout life, individuals face different obstacles and struggles; my obstacle was my tendency to be shy. For example, when I was faced with social pressures like speaking in front of a class for a presentation, or meeting new people, I would be a nervous wreck. My palms would sweat, my voice would tremble, and it took all the strength I could muster to overcome my irrational fears. I only had a small, albeit close knit group of friends due to my introverted ways.…

From Judea, through the founding of Abrahamic religions, beyond the undertaking of the extermination of the Jewish people, to the displacement of Palestinians whom some claim never existed, we arrive presently with the Islamic extremists claiming the bible demands death of all Jews. Most with hate filled hearts have forgotten the declared enemy is human, each with family, each grieve loss and yet hold to their faith, each has a place in humanity's circle of life. The question is why one acts superior to…

    Homosexuality and the Bible There is no doubt that the bible is possibly one of the most influential pieces of writing recorded in history.

Christians pride themselves in being truly “good and accepting” people, which is supposed to be the word that Jesus brought to his followers. However, an argument can be made that there are some aspects of the bible that are anything but loving or accepting; or are these just misconceptions that people have shaped throughout the years?…
