Reflective Essay About God

The word of god says if you had heeded my commands, then you peace would flow like a river. He also states happy are ye that keep my commands. The essence of these words are simply foolishness to the unconverted heart. For those however; who have tasted and seen that god is good it is life unto them. There was a time in my life when i bought into the lies of the enemy. I saw god as being restrictive, his laws too rigid, and his entire government as a fun buster. I thought maybe that god needed to lighten up a little, stop being such a straight lace, and have a little fun. I could not imagine god as a fun god, one who laughs and encourages laughter (imagine that, when he is the one that created laughter). I just pictured him on a great, massive, sterile looking white throne with his fingers pointing towards me saying “thou shalt not.”

To acurately do this, we must first revisit history. There literally was a group of people that god identified as his own. He simply referred to them as, “his choosen people”. They were the descendants of a man named israel, grandson of the patriach abraham. If we closely examine the way god treated these people, we will get a crystal clear picture of some of the governing principles of our father’s world, and how god longs to treat us, if we would only accept his invitation to live in his world. If you become familiar with the sojurn of this peculiar group of people, you will notice that they were blessed and highly favored of god. They were the bold manifestation of the promise found in dueteronomy 28 where god states that his blessings will chase us down and overtake us. They were protected like a watchful mother hovering over her precious newborn. They were provided for in the same way a baby bird is fed by her parents without a care in the world. God told them, open your mouth wide and i will fill

    He knows nothing but love for us as humans on his planet. So in that respect God does not hurt us on this earth. Humans can not fathom what God has planned for us, so his plan for us is how he intended it (Ecc. 8:17). The passage also talks about the wise claiming that they know Gods intentions. No one can ever understand Gods actions on this earth (Ecc. 8:17).…

    I promptly responded, Suddenly I realized that all my pages and pages regarding the evils of Satan were virtually lacking of what ‘I really wanted to relate;’ by my words I realized my “true desire” transpired as being deliberately vague. This factual bombshell exploded within my being, along with the amazing issue of how unnerved I had become. Unlike the bold encounter I previously mentioned with my Aunt Lucy May regarding this subject, I found the experience of conversing with an unfamiliar man concerning my Godly sexual beliefs, distressed me as much as if Billy Graham was rummaging through my panty drawer needing answers about my “unmentionables.”…

    As I was reading this article I was angry and felt as if i would not agree with anything said, however, once I regarded the time period and allowed myself to be open to the opinions of others, I began to see some similarities. They were few, but similarities nonetheless. I agree with Macarthur in the aspect of some psychologists disregarding the ability to be assisted by prayer, reading the Bible and meditation with God. I believe that those things are important and vital to finding peace and well as strength through mental and emotional difficulties. Practicing “Christian” Psychologists should never advise against them or promote activity that go against Biblical teaching.…

    When it comes to understanding yourself and your personality on a deeper level than normally, you must take personal stories into perspective that have shaped your life while growing up. According to McAdams, “defining oneself through a personal story is an act of psychological and social responsibility” (Engler 2009). Psychological and social responsibility relate to how you act onto actions around you and how you tie society into your viewpoint of the world. In other words, explaining yourself through a story can show several things such as how your emotions played an affect, the type of response you displayed to something that happened, and as well as the lessons you learned through a personal but also social aspect. In addition, McAdams…

However, as time transpired the people of Israel became more and more corrupt. They began worshipping other God’s, putting their wants and “needs” first, and were disobeying the teachings of God.…

    I find Lady Philosophy’s (LP) assessment of divine foreknowledge and the nature of God to be inconsistent with the concept of full free will; her argument is both insufficient and unsatisfactory iff viewed from a position of theological revelation. I argue that revelatory theology necessarily requires either a complete and deliberate predetermination of events or a minimum value of immutable events. While LP’s argument does allow for limited agent free will, it does so only if divine knowledge is also limited. In this way, LP’s definition fits well in the pre-Christian mythology of the Mediterranean, where divine entities were thought to have some significant control over the decisions and fate of mankind, but complete foreknowledge was hidden even from the Olympians, and man could, and often did, perturb destiny and fate.1…

    You do not suffer, yet you call yourself smart, who is your teacher? For he who has endured pain and suffering beholds the power of perseverance, character, strength and hope, he is the best teacher. Suffering is defined as the state of undergoing pain, distress or even hardship, it is derived from the Latin word ‘sufferre’, sub- ‘from below’ and ferre ‘to bear’.

    My spiritual journey of faith has turned me into more of a “mutt” than a “purebred” Christian because of the variety of denominations and international churches that I have experienced so far in my life. For starters, I grew up in a “every Sunday” church family. In fact, I was at church the very next Sunday after being born. My first church was part of the Assemblies of God. However, a few years later my parents divorced and we ended up at a non-denomination church, where I spent the next 20 years.…

    The Love of God God is the creator of all life and he is the highest of all powers, he embodies all ‘persons’ (The Father, The Son, and The Spirit). Although we cannot be as him, we should try to follow his guidance. In this world, it is easy to get wrapped in earthly things. We are humans, and many of times we fail by trying to hold a certain status, gain certain materialistic possessions, and cause great emotional/physical harm to one another. In my beliefs, that is not the way one should live.…
