Conceptions of God

Lilly Stepped in the classroom. All students were looking at her awkwardly. She sat on the first chair beside a girl because she was only one who offered her seat. She was wearing spectacle and reading her notes. Some other students were babbling about Lilly and making fun of her. She inclined her eyes and trying to ignore them. “Hi! I am Jennifer” said that Girl “and Whats your name?” “I am Lilly, I am a new student here.” said Lilly. “Good Morning Class, Please sit down on your chairs” said…

The desire to escape is one of the most powerful themes which resonates throughout the tapestry of human experience....... It permeates the spectrum of recorded literature, religious scripture, political ideology, and spiritual reflection....... from ancient mythologies and oral traditions, right up to present day pop culture, this broader idea plays itself out again, and again, and again..... there seems to be something about the human condition, which instinctively recognizes this underlying…

Argument for Omnipotence and Divine Goodness Does God exist? A question that has raised so many questions and answers for years. To even consider someone with this title would need to hold omnipotence, omniscient, and omnibenevolent. Omnipotence means all powerful, omniscient is knowning of all things, and omnibenevolent means to be everywhere, at all times. The arguments for the paradox of omnipotence, omniscient, omnibenevolent is something people have discuss for years, however not all…

Bible, that evil came into existence, because God gave Adam and Eve free will, with instructions not to take from the tree of life. According to Nash, he asserts “God has good reasons for creating a world containing creatures that are significantly free, that is, free with regard to actions that have moral significance.” (Nash, 189). And it is important to note in the book of Genesis 3:1-24, we note the issue of how evil actually begins. In Genesis 3:1 God commanded Eve “You shall not eat of…

Despite the monotheistic religions, Hinduism has millions of gods they worship, but Buddhism isn’t seen as a religion but as a way of life, and Buddha is not seen as a god but a man who found Enlightenment and became an idol because of it. Hinduism has no set founder which may be a result of having millions of gods, and because of that, Hinduism’s structure is the simplest with no highest God, no direct revelations from God (ex: The Bible in Christianity), and no real set of commandments.…

The most shocking thing is the public’s reaction to Trump’s unethical behavior. Most people do not seem to care and his supporters seem to rather enjoy it. We have now entered the end of the postmodern age where truth is replaced with emotion. If something so small as a criticism of one’s hands or fingers can send Trump into a never-ending obsessive tirade, what would happen if genuine Christians throughout the world went on a relentless campaign targeting Donald Trump as Satan incarnate? Again…

In his work “Confessions,” he recounts his struggles to wholeheartedly accept Catholic Christianity as his faith despite his belief in God and Jesus. Augustine initially misunderstood that Catholic Christianity required one to be perfect like Jesus and God, a daunting and impossible task as Augustine’s continuous praises throughout the book illustrate. In the very first line he states: “You are great Lord, and highly to be praised: great is your…

justifying my poor decisions on my age, such as not attending church regularly. Yet, Mary was roughly around my age and she was willing to do what God wanted her to do. This story also stood out to me because of the trust that Joseph had for Mary. He was willing to stay with her, regardless of knowing that the whole town would think that his wife…

sacred religions of the past and combining them to form a new religion. H.D. acts as a prophet for this new religion. In the section “Tribute to the Angels,” she references Revelation in saying, “I John saw, I testify: / if any man shall add // God shall add unto him plagues, / but he that sat upon the throne said, // I make all things new. / I John saw, I testify” (65). These lines are a type of indirect quote of John the prophets revelations about end times. By referencing this section in…

"the call"—a unique, divine assignment given by God for his purposes, which requires faithful and active obedience, unwavering commitment, and devotion from the one called. (Robinson, N. (2014, January 28). God 's calling to missions is not authoritative the way the Scriptures are. The calling should never be challenged. Our calling is in our own heart. The calling is the work of God to bring our heart closer to conviction. This conviction is of God, and it delivers utter peace. Everyone is in…
