Analysis Of Joshua's Best Proof Of The Omnipresence Of God

Decent Essays
to the word of God can become his or her own deliverance with the omnipresence of God. In this context Joshua's best proof of the omnipresence of God may be found in Joshua 1:5 where Joshua claims that the Lord talked directly to him and gave him a promise "as I was with Moses so I will be with you. Therefore Joshua started his task of leading Israel with the assurance of the presence of God. Then Joshua continues his lesson concerning the presence of God with four assurances that live in 1:5 and 5:6: One no man will be able to stand before you. Two I will not fail you. Three I will not forsake you. Four you will divide the land for an inheritance. Consequently I close this second lesson with the following points about the omnipresence

    To find life in death is to find a light in the darkness. In the Bible, Yahweh is generally associated with this light of life, yet He also causes a majority of the death and destruction within His resplendent creation. Yahweh’s creation and of humans illustrates this paradoxical relation between creation and destruction, life and death, knowledge and ignorance. When Adam and Eve…

    The book God 's Big Picture is a 167-page book written by Vaughan Roberts and published by IVP Books. The sub title to this book is “Tracing the story line of the Bible”. I believe Roberts does a fair job at accomplishing this task. The key to tracing the story line of the bible is to look at it outside the box and in big picture view hence the title.…

    However, the people of God did not always obey God’s word. Deuteronomy, chapter 28, talks about how God speaks to his people about the “Blessings for Obedience” and “Curses for Disobedience.” I believe that the people of God understand this. They were able to see that when they obeyed God, He blessed and protected them. Nevertheless, when they disobeyed God, God left them alone, without protection.…

    Mackie begins his article by stating that all arguments for the existence of God can be proven false. Mackie is targeting the theist with this argument, but states that the theist can still believe in God and accept the criticism. Mackie uses “the problem of evil” for his main argument. Mackie uses the problem of evil to show that the belief in God lacks rational support, and is essentially irrational. Mackie claims that the following sentences cannot all be true at the same time: “God is omnipotent, God is wholly good, and yet evil exists”.…

    Johnson carefully assesses many different “excuses” that theists give for why an all good, all powerful god approves or neglects to prevent the burning of an innocent baby. I believe his weakest “excuse” is when he claims that a baby going to heaven is only justified if it was necessary for the baby to suffer. If it was not, then it was wrong to allow it. I believe this is Johnsons weakest point because I feel as there is never a necessary reason for a baby ’s death.…

    Cosmological argument The cosmological argument is a well known argument that attempts to prove the existence of God. The most common leader of the argument is Thomas Aquinas who devised Five Ways to prove the existence of God, which he referred to as “demonstration.” It comes to the conclusion that God exists from posteriori because it focuses on cause and effect to come to an assumption that God exists, which contrasts with the priori approach to the ontological argument. Linear religions generally accept that God made the universe ex nihilo because in Genesis God existed at the beginning of time; therefore, He must be the cause of the universe because you can’t have an effect without a cause.…

    Evil and Omnipotence In Evil and Omnipotence, J.L. Mackie presents fallacious solutions that try solving the logical problem of evil. Fallacious solutions explicitly maintain all their propositions, but implicitly end up rejecting at least one of them. The fourth fallacious solution (S4), claims that moral evil is necessary in any world containing the overriding good of human freedom. In this paper, I will demonstrate: (I) S4; (II) Mackie’s objection of S4; (III) A primary benefit of Mackie’s argument; and (IV) Why Mackie’s criticism succeeds. (I) S4:…

    I am like a parrot which has learnt to talk; only knowing what it has been taught or has heard, it repeats the same thing over and over again. If God wishes me to write anything new, He will teach it me, or bring back to my memory what I have said elsewhere. I should be content even with this, for as I am very forgetful, I should be glad to be able to recall some of the matters about which people say I have spoken well, lest they should be altogether lost. If our Lord will not even grant me this, still, if I weary my brains and increase my headache by striving to obey, I shall gain in merit, though my words should be useless to any one. So I begin this work on the Feast of the Blessed Trinity in the year 1577, in the Convent of St. Joseph of Carmel at Toledo, where I am living, and I submit all my writings to the judgement of those learned men by whose commands I undertake them.…

    The argument for the existence of God will always give rise to infinitive points of view. St. Anselm (c. 1033- April 21, 1109) was distinguished philosopher, scholar, theologian and an Italian monk who later went on to become the Archbishop of Canterbury. His thinking and writings about God and the disposition of faith has influenced and fascinated scholars and philosophers since the Middle Ages—some would even say he is the most important Christian thinker of the 11th century. In his highly respected work called Proslogium Anselm attempts to replace the multiple arguments made in his previous work, the Monologian, with a single argument: his ontological argument for the existence of God. He proposes that if God can be thought of and perceived, then he must exist.…

    your loved one that has passed away in death due to whatever it may be, in life again; imagine how amazing it will feel, you will cry tears of joy and not of sadness or misery. Your goal should definitely be to do Jehovah’s will, that way you will be present and anxiously waiting for your loved one to come back to life. “In 2010, the number of atheists had fallen to 136,582,200 or 2.0% of the population. The term "atheism" originated from the Greek (atheos), meaning "without god(s)", used as a pejorative term applied to those thought to reject the Gods worshiped by the larger society.” Atheists are totally against Jehovah’s existence.…

    The story of Israel’s conquest of Canaan can, like many of the other stories of the Hebrew Bible, can be explained as reflections of the religious, political, and societal beliefs of their composers and editors. As a historical piece, the account of Israel’s conquest of Canaan fails to match the current archeological understanding of the Canaanite settlements mentioned in The Book of Joshau. The inaccuracies fail to reflect an accurate historical model, but they suggest that the Book of Joshua is symbolic of its writers. The religious purpose of the story of the conquest of Canaan is to explain the geopolitical and geographical aspects of pre-exilic Israel whilst maintaining their belief that the people of Israel are the chosen people of God. The story highlights and explains several important facets of the Hebrew world at the time of the Book of Joshau’s inclusion in the biblical canon.…
