Yet saints and martyrs served other purposes other than just to honour the holy…

Mean is created in the image and likeness of God, therefore, he shares God's sanctity. This entitles human beings to a higher level of respect compared to the other creations of God. Supposing that one doesn't believe that he is created in the likeness of God, his special moral status or dignity is based on the human capacity of moral choice.

Aryabhatta is without doubt the Astronomer/Mathematician non-pareil of the Post Vedic/Post Epic era in the historical narrative, especially so since his magnum opus The Aryabhattium, which packs a lot of information in the terse aphoristic style characteristic, of that era, has survived intact from the mists of a distant past when he first developed his thesis.

Introduction The existence of an omniscient, omnipotent and omnibenevolent God is coherent despite the subsistence of horrendous evil in the world. Two major points are argued for in this paper lead to this conclusion. Firstly, evil is deemed not to be a “thing”; for everything in the world is created by the omnibenevolent God and as a good being; God is not one to create evil things (Jackson, 2014). Critics argue that if God exists and if God is all-powerful, all-knowing and all-good; He would…

In his essay, taken from the book Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger, Ronald Sider argues that God’s will for the economic relationships of man is to have justice for the poor. Supporting his argument with three different examples from the Old Testament and multiple from the New Testament, Sider shows how the implementation of processes to promote economic justice evolved in the Bible, while at the same time showing how the spirit of God’s will, or the law, never changed.
