God is dead

walks into a church during a midweek worship service and opens fire with an assault rifle. Several worshippers are either dead or wounded. Where was God during this tragedy? Why would an all-powerful God allow something like this to happen? The answer to this question from an orthodox Christian point of view is that evil is the result of God’s creation exercising their God-given free will.

faith in God does anything or if it is the difference between life and death. Elie Wiesel throughout the holocaust questioned whether or not to have faith in God, or if God's faith in him is really there. In the novel Night, by Elie Wiesel, Elie whose faith and belief in God was once unconditional, during the countless of trials Elie faced, his faith in God was irreparably shaken, however in only lowest moments of faith does he turn back on God. In the beginning of novel, his faith in God was…

questioned the existence of God because church was all I knew. My older sister and I spent countless hours with my grandmother at church helping in any way that we knew how and we never missed a service; in those services I heard testimonies of so many men and women who knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that no one other than God moved in a miraculous way in their lives and I just knew he had to be real. Not until I…

everything stripped away from him. His children died, his wealth was gone, his livestock dead, and he was struck with leprosy. Job experienced much pain and heartache, but he didn’t lose faith, and he knew that he would recover. Job demonstrated extreme resilience. Even though his whole life crumbled before his eyes, he beared the pain and overcame the disaster that he faced. As a reward for Job’s resilience and loyalty, God returned Job’s wealth back to him two fold. Mankind has always found a…

In the image death is playing a violin and the musician are fleeing. Close to death or the musicians,there is a female,wrapped in a shroud. The shroud represent the disease.

over life is discussed in the character’s opinions in the play Antigone. Antigone opinion is that the Gods’ wrath is worse than death. She expresses that in this passage, “Antigone-I dared.It was not God’s proclamation. That final Justice That rules the world below makes no such laws. Your edict, King, was strong, But all your strength is weakness itself against The immoral unrecorded laws of God.”(Sophocles pg. 708-709). While Creon’s opinion is that it is immoral to choose death if given the…

wearing jewels of all kinds and a large skull was on his chest. He looked almost completely made of bones with little flesh barely hanging onto his body. He heard a mysterious, raspy voice coming from the beast. “You’re dead and your soul is mine,” it whispered. “I am the almighty god of death and everyone that dies gives me their soul to feed me so I can stay alive.…

to change their behaviors is conveyed through the Misfit, who comments “Jesus was the only One that ever raised the dead… and He shouldn’t have done it… and if He didn’t, then it’s nothing for you to do but enjoy the few minutes you got left the best way you can-by killing somebody or burning down this house or doing some other meanness to him. No pleasure but meanness” (O’Connor, “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” 152). In every situation, whether it be in the contemporary world or prior, there will…

“All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17, is what I have grown up believing about the Bible. I grew up going to church every Sunday and also going to a Christian day camp every summer for six years. The Sunday school teachers at church and counselors at the camp…
