analyzed here is just one of many. This particular creation myth can be classified as a deus faber myth. Creation myths classified as deus faber myths generally liken their god to a craftsman in the way he creates the world. The gods in this particular myth create humans and animals from the bark of an Oak tree. The gods also create bows, arrows, clubs, thunderbolts, and harps from that same tree. This pattern of creating things out of wood reflects how craftsmen in the woodworking trade…

I have been to different churches in different areas. I never like any of the church and I never accepted Jesus. Even though, I didn't accept Jesus, I still pray to God. However, everything chances during my last year of Middle school. My family and I started to attended Hmong First Baptist Church. I thought to myself, "It's going to be boring like those other churches." As time moved on, I keep on attending Hmong First Baptist Church and getting to know the youth more, I felt more closer to my…

understand God through spirit and imagination, in contrast to the typical theological view of God 'as an old man', a rational being who controlled the order of things. Blake wanted to break this unyielding portrayal of God. Blake was religious and interested in divine inspiration. In his epic poems he writes about visions of heaven and hell. Coleridge once suggested of Blake that his poetry and paintings enabled people to 'dig deeper' or understand more clearly their relationship to God and the…

11:19-20 and Ez. 36:26-29, where the Lord God promises to regenerate Israel with a new heart and spirit. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit in selective people in the Old Testament, where in the New Testament it permanent to believers (John 14:17). In the Old Testament the Holy Spirit indwelled…

Chapter II The Exaltation of Christ There are four stages of the state of exaltation. 1. Resurrection a. The nature of the resurrection The resurrection of Christ's body and his soul is really real. His body was raised from the dead. Jesus did not rise as a spirit only but as a whole person, body, and soul (Bloesch, 2004). Unlike the other human, His body and soul rose completely. This shows that Christ defeated death. The resurrection of Jesus in his human nature indicates a perfection that is…

means to me. God does not set out to confuse us, and if the all knowing God wanted to confuse us there would certainly be more efficient ways than to write his sacred book in code. The Bible, then is intentionally written in a way that is understandable to those who know, and seek to know, the God who wrote it. It seems to me that we get so caught up in figuring out our own subjective view on what a given section of scripture says that we all but entirely miss the objective truth that God wrote.…

Moving on the the spread of these religions and the experience of early believers. For Judaism, the early followers were people that opposed the belief in multiply gods, such as the Romans believed in, and set their mind to a singular, all Devine God. The spread of Judaism started with Abraham controlling a nomadic tribe journey to canaan, the promise land. One of the sons of Jacob, the grandson of Abraham, lead the tribe into Egypt, which ended up enslaving the tribe. Freed by Moses,…

to earth, the question put forth was did he see God up in space or as the book said the heavens. However, do you know went to the heavens and came back to tell everyone about? One theologian says God is dead presently him speaking for the secular world that believes they no longer need God. Can you imagine the world feeling like they can answer and solve their problems on their own? Kar Marx said religion was an opiate for the people. He believed God was an excuse for the rich, comfortable, and…

In order to prove God is real and amongst men, Jesus must use characteristics of God as his evidence; coincidentally, the Bible gives explicit words to do this. The Bible shows that God will not “yield [His] glory to another or [His] praise to idols” (Isaiah 42:8, New International Version). Yet, throughout the New Testament, there are constant callings to praise Jesus. There is only one explanation for this, that “Jesus was the glory of God” (Macarthur, 2003). To add to this, God says in Isaiah…
