The Heavens On the 24th of September Dr. Anton Koekemoer delivered a speech at HBU in Dunham theatre called “The Heavens Declare the Glory of God: Science and Faith in Harmony.” Dr. Koekemoer has been studying the heavens extensively for quite a few years now. Over his years of study, he has been able to see how the glory of God is seen in the heavens. Throughout his speech he used two verses in the Bible. The two verses were Psalm 19:1 and Psalm 8:4. He appeared to be using the King James Version of those texts. Both verses in the context he used them in were about the glory of the stars and the universe which God the Father has made. He referred to these verses throughout the rest of the lecture. One thing that was very cool about his presentation

    When The Kings Come Marching In Analysis

    Søren Kierkegaard, a 19th century a philosopher, once said, “God…does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.” While Richard J. Mouw, in his book When the Kings Come Marching In, would agree that God redeems sinners he would also argue that God desires to redeem the entire cosmos. God desires to redeem both human souls and the cosmos because both have been infected and distorted by sin. After a careful reading of Mouw’s book, it is possible to piece together a summary of the main points of the book while formulating a response to Mouw’s explanations and his life application. When the Kings Come Marching…

    Edwards Use Figurative Language In Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God

    In "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards, Edwards preaches this sermon to prompt his listeners to strengthen their faith in God, by exercising imagery, figurative language, and repetition. In the first place, Edwards utilization of imagery administers the listeners with visualizations of how God rewards the followers for preserving their faith. Edwards conveys, "it is only the power and mere pleasure of God that holds you up. " This exercise allows the listeners to envision how God, an almighty figure, supports people who give their time for God.…

    The Eighth Day In The Book Of Genesis

    The Eighth Day is a book in the non-fiction historical genre, with 30,628 words that is my first effort as an author. When I was 18 years old, I became motivated to research the origin of Christianity and later, the origin of creation. I'm a retired businessman and have decided to share what I have learned over the past 50 years, through this book. The purpose of The Eighth Day is to reveal validated proof that the creation story of the Old Testament, in the book of Genesis, is irrefutably true. The relevance of the proof, is that the teller of the creation story would have had to be there to describe the occurrences, in such detail.…

    Albert Einstein's Rhetorical Summary

    Phyllis Wright, a sixth grade student, asks Albert Einstein if scientists prayed if so what for. Einstein replies in an appropriate manner for the subject and his audience, while appealing to logos, ethos, and pathos. Although Einstein’s letter does not directly answer Phyllis’s question, it is still rhetorically effective. Einstein appeals to logos when discussing the nature of scientific research. He addresses the counter argument in saying that “scientific research is based on the idea that everything that takes place is determined by the laws of nature, and therefore this holds for the actions of people.”…

    Dr. Henson Religion

    One of the first questions that we asked Dr. Henson was whether she believed in the presence of a conflict between science and religion. Her response was in accordance to some of the things that Timothy Larson mentioned in his article. According to Henson, she did not believe that there was any conflict between science and faith. Instead, Dr. Henson said that she believed in apparent paradoxes/contradictions which are things that appear to look conflicting but are not really in conflict with each other. The next question that we asked Dr. Henson about was related to the state of the earth in the antediluvian world (before the fall).…

    Mercer's Argument Analysis

    When it comes to interpreting the Bible, the word “inerrant” has been misused in such a way that has led people to overlook the message intended by God. The mistreatment of this word has brought about attempts to study the Bible as if it were a book of history, science, or philosophy. The sermon combats these misapplications by reminding its audience of the proper use of God’s word, the importance of its divine message, and its claims concerning its own inerrancy. The sermon resonates with me because it reminds me of the pertinence of God’s word and how important it is to use it with the utmost care. I believe that Mercer’s theological faculty strives to take a stance on inspiration that treats the Bible with this same kind of reverence.…

Growing up in the church was a normal thing for me since I was basically "born and raised in the pew" but for me to actually start living a truly Christian life was the task at hand for me. Years went by with our apostle Dr. Walter Boston and I always wondered "why?" Why did I have to come to church?…

    Athanasius: Salvation And Creation

    While there are a plethora of beliefs about how creation of the world came to be; there is no doubt that its creation reflects a part of the image of God. In this paper I will argue according to Athanasius, both salvation and creation represent the duality of the divine and human within Jesus Christ. One of the first arguments that Athanasius makes to prove this is to link Jesus to the creation of the world. The first step of this process is to first discredit the other beliefs about how the world came to be from the Epicureans, Plato, and the Gnostics. For Athanasius this is a crucial step as it establishes the foundation to the dual nature of christ.…
