religion anymore. Even though religion is still very important in today’s society, it is not as important as it used to be because prayer has been taken out of school, people do not go to church as often as they should, and parents do not teach their children about religion anymore. There are many reasons why religion is not as important as it used to be. One reason would be people do not go to church as often as they should. For example, Sunday is the day to go to church, but on Sunday,…
God: ‘Tell Me Strange Things about Jehovah’ God is more than the alphabets. There are diverse schools of thought about the subject, God; in theism, God is creator and controller of the world. In Pantheism, God is the universe, while in deism; God is the creator of the universe, but not the sustainer. In atheism, God does not exit, while in agnosticism, God is unknown. In today’s message, I will tell you more about God without exaggeration. The LORD wants His children to know more about His…
full potential that God has for him. Hick starts off with what Irenaeus says, which is humans are still trying to become like God because we lack personal heavenly qualities to be like Him. Then he goes on to mention Johannine, who says as human we are supposed to reach a higher level of holiness, and according Irenaeus humans have failed to reach this higher level. Hicks says there must be an evolution process for us to reach this higher level that cannot be directly created. God could create…
differs from each other in the way they raise their children. Many parents lose their children to the world because they were either too strict with their children or they were too lenient with their children. That may sound funny, but every teen is rebellious and unless their parents handle them correctly they will continue rebelling against their parents in everything including Christianity. Now about the youth who remains in the church and faithful to God always vary. The two biggest…
modern churches teach that God is loving and forgiving. Although they may not agree with what a person is doing, they may not agree with gay marriage, most churches preach to love thy neighbor. Westboro teaches the opposite that God is full of hate and only his select chosen few are going to join him in eternity, they believe they are this select few. Even people who are not religious find the Westboro’s methods uncouth; picketing the funeral of slain child because God wanted them dead to teach…
was the first god. She was the creator of all life and everything in the world. Lilac had become lonely and created the other gods like Zeus and Poseidon. She wasn't known because after her she had created the main 2 gods they over ruled her. Lilac had plotted for months to take back her power. Lilac had been acting weird. She asked all the god for a sample strand of their hair. This was all part of her plan to kill all the gods. Zeus was suspicious so he ordered the messenger god Hermes to spy…
Vengeful God In the book Genesis translated by Robert Atler, God created human beings, and they are, therefore, his children. However, God lacks patience, gets angry, and is vengeful with his children. When Eve eats the fruit, she was forbidden to eat; God told Eve he would make women have pain when bearing children and that men will rule over women . God tells Adam that the soil will be cursed and man will have to sweat to eat . God doesn’t teach the humans how to live because he wants them to…
Will”, Augustine states, “…Through whom God made all the things that were made from nothing” (4) meaning that God is the creator of all things. This makes evil an issue since if evil is a thing, and God has created all things, then it is safe to assume that God has created evil. This creates problems for those who believe that God is all loving and all powerful because if God is truly all loving, then why would he create malice for his beloved children. If God is truly good however, how could he…
decision not only affects this woman however. No, this affects many more. Her own children, who have already seen the life fade out of their father’s eyes as the rope tightens against his neck. They have seen the figure of their mother fading away as she sits in a dark prison. They have already lost the fatherly figure of strength and hard work. Must they lose the figure of love and kindness as well? These children will grow up lost, and will likely struggle in a world without their parents. All…
