Creator deity

Application As demonstrated above, the divine nature of Jesus has been part of the equation in Christological studies since Christians began to witness. One can even say the understanding of his divine nature began while Jesus walked the earth. The first Ecumenical council included Jesus in the trinity as the Son God. The other councils in many occasions came to be as part of numerous attempts to reconcile his divine nature with his human nature, and to combat against any who questioned His…

The Flood of Gilgamesh was composed before 2000 B.C, while the Genesis story was composed in 400 BC, which was much later then the Gilgamesh surge. Scriptural authors presumably knew of the much more established surge yet amended it so it fit with their own history and perspective. They in all probability expected the first story with their own mythology. In spite of the numerous similitudes between the two stories, the distinctions are uncovered in various diverse subjects that recognize the…

As someone who has been fascinated by words from a young age, I have always found the term ‘faith’ to be a vague one. Faith, or lack thereof, can come in a dizzying array of forms, intensities, and meanings for various people; in essence, each individual’s journey with faith is a unique one that spans a lifetime and is kept in constant evolution. Thus the definition of Faith must be kept vague and malleable, as it carries different meanings for everyone at various stages in life. For me, my…

The idea encapsulated by Grudem in Business for the Glory of God is that a business person can reflect the image of God through all aspects of their occupation. Grudem emphasizes that business is essentially good, not just a neutral activity. Business and trade are mentioned throughout the Bible as perfectly acceptable, and at their heart are godly activities. Simultaneously, he acknowledges that people can have and will continue to corrupt business as everything in the world is corrupted, and…

The sculpture Triad of King Mycerinus and Two Goddesses, which resides at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, was excavated from The Temple of Mycerinus in Giza and was created between 2548 - 2530 BCE, during the reign of Mycerinus. Made from greywacke, an incredibly coarse, dark sandstone, this sculpture uses variation in texture, incorrect scale, and line to draw attention to King Mycerinus in relation to the two divinities, and thus is an example of royalty as divinity. Overall, this sculpture…

In the beginning gods roamed the earth changing all the flaws they found within the lonesome planet. All the gods would look down upon their throne and see all the flaws that the earth held within. Not one major god took it upon themselves to change what needed to be changed. So the small gods went out and did their dirty work. They changed the tides of the ocean, the time of the sunset, and showed the humans a new way of living life. When all was said and done the humans were still lonely. The…

If she were alive, she would be over 3000 years old. She lived during a different time than I do. She spoke a different language and had a different ethnicity than I have. She came from a distant land with beliefs that are unlike mine. Despite our differences, I have learned much from Ruth. At the introduction to her story, she had been recently widowed. Her mother-in-law, Naomi, was also a widow. When Naomi decides to return to live in her hometown of Bethlehem, Ruth goes with her out of her…

Romani and Egyptian culture are much more than what the western general public perceives. Romani culture is more than just being nomads that go wherever they please. They have their own set of values and traditions, just like any other culture, as do the Egyptians. Egyptian culture is very different than Romani culture, yet they are comparable. Their religion, geography, traditions, and some ideologies are extremely different, but some parallels can be drawn from their music and dance. Even…

power military needed assistance from a higher power. Centuries later Constantine would call upon the god of his mother the Christian god to aid him in the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. In this instance again aid in battle helped transcend God from a deity of a small peasant faith to the true god of an entire empire. Without the sort of aid that Yahweh or God gave to both the Israelites and Constantine, the idea of a single all knowing being may have come later in history or maybe not at…
