God in Christianity

religion matters for those who believe so. I believe in Christianity because my family does. It comes as natural; as if it was required for me to know and understand religion and how everything turns out the way they do at a very young age. I went to a Christian school from kinder to high school, I was not forced neither asked if I even want to be in that school. I was once asked if believing that a God exist was better than believing without God. A question led to a biased response because…

Wrath seem to incorporate Christ figures or representations of God. First, in Beowulf, Robert Stevick has a different viewpoint with Beowulf following along with Christianity. In his article, “Christian Elements and the Genesis of ‘Beowulf,’” Stevick said “Beowulf does have some Christian virtues and fights against monsters that could double as Christian symbols of evil, but he hardly seems to be a Christ-figure, a pre-Christian thane of God, or a serious candidate for a medieval fighting…

the whirlwind around the practice undeniably takes hold quickly ‘after’ Jesus’ resurrection. Centuries before the arrival of Christ, the conscious sanctity of God Divine’s sexual relationship with the His people grew less and less for reasons that a large amount did not discern its real meaning; nevertheless, this aspect of an intimate God remains the ‘prophet’s song’ for numerous centuries (Isa 5:1). Still, the…

We briefly touch on verbiage such as clichés that amounts to no significant reasoning of whom we are as a people of God or who we are individually. The reality is that if we (in terms of Christianity) do not base these lines of communications on who we are as Christians, then history of our Christian relationships will amount to nothing.…

Throughout the book Proslogium, Anselm is writing directly to God and telling him how much he believes in him. Anselm states his opinion on God which is most commonly referred to as the Ontological Argument. He talks about how he believes God to be the greatest, highest, and most powerful being to ever exist in the universe. He believes that there is absolutely no possibility that there is any being that can be seen as being greater than God in any way, shape, or form. The Ontological Argument…

philosophies of Hegel and Kierkegaard differed in many ways, as Kierkegaard's is often seen as largely a response to or critique of Hegel's. They disagreed on the role of the individual vs. that of society, what comprises truth, and the place of Christianity in history. However, they also complemented each other in subtle ways, as well. Perhaps their single greatest disagreement lay in the debate of the importance of the individual and society. Hegel zoomed out as much as possible, trying to…
