Response To 'Expelled': Video Analysis

I understand to do theology is to think systematically about the fundamental ideas of Christianity. It is an intellectual reflection on the act, content and implications of the Christian faith. Theology also helps me to better understand Christian doctrine, to make comparisons between Christianity and other religions, to defend Christianity against objections and criticism and to draw on the resources of the Christian tradition to address contemporary situation.
I note that it is impossible to harmonize the contradictory teachings of all religions. I agree that I have to take seriously Jesus command of “do not judge”. This is an important principle in responding to other religions. I have to admit it is difficult to keep this principle. I will need to have an attitude to have love to others and to have a respect for biblical truth. I will have to help others to gain a deep knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The cause of the atonement is because of the love of God and the justice of God. Salvation is understood to be grounded in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is God’s love for humanity that allows us to love God.
I have the misconception earlier in the course that Jesus died so that God could pay a ransom to Satan which was a view of the early church leaders. Jesus died because of the will of God the Father

In the video it mentioned about Darwin’s theory applies after the first cell. It also shows that the probability in the game of life is so low to accept theory of evolution. I am amazed that there is a wall and pre-assumption in the academic world to reject intelligent design. I suppose scientists are opened to different possible explanations of the scenario and will accept those that have high chances to explain the situation. The media also plays a negative role in the intelligent design

Due to his sacrifice, Christians believe that once someone accepts Jesus Christ as their savior and look to God they are saved. When humanity understand that God knows what is best and is obedient they will be set free from their frustrations with life (Shuster, 2013).…

    “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change” – Charles Darwin. Evolution is “the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth”. The theory of evolution has become one of the most controversial topics in science because of how the public reacts to the contents of the theory. The theory is controversial because it posses the debate of whether God or a supreme being played a role in the process of evolution or that humans have evolved naturally over time. Many opponents of the theory argue that science is a knowledge that can only be repeated, demonstrated, and observed and evolution can only be believed in.…

In fact, it is being supported time and time again by fossil records. However, thats not to say your theory is perfect. The point of a theory is not to be perfect. The ideas you have presented, however, are the best and most scientifically grounded ideas we have about the way species evolve and change.…

    This week’s discussion topic asks us why our view of atonement is critical to our view of Scripture and how it can impact our view of humanity. How we view atonement has an impact on how we view God and Christ and the importance we put on each of them. McRay gives the common definition of atonement indicating that it is the “satisfaction or reparation for a wrong or injury; amends,” and theologically as “the doctrine concerning the reconciliation of God and man, especially as accomplished through the life, suffering, and death of Christ” (McRay, 2003). Without this atonement, we are incapable on our own of ever having a relationship with God due to our sins. It is the only thing that makes it possible for us to be reconciled with God.…

    This is considered to be the greatest act of redemption in the New Testament when God gave His one and only perfect son to die on a cross so that we might one day live with God for eternity. Jesus spent His life on earth revealing Himself as the Savior of the world to both the Jews and the Gentiles. Jesus performed many miracles; healing the sick and diseased, raising the dead to life, casting out of demons, and controlling nature. By coming from the line of David, Jesus showed that He had control to be the king God had chosen to lead Israel. Through Jesus’ sacrifice, we are able to be reconnected with God in heaven while on earth.…
