God is dead

The original sense of “demon”, from the time of Homer, was a benevolent being. Homer even uses the word theos, which can be translated as Gods, to describe the daimons. In ancient Greece, daimons were believed to be beings that were different from the gods. Daimons dealt with fate and each person had a daimon that guided them through life; helping them make the right decisions. A daimon is the Christian equivalent to a guardian angel. The Greek historian Hesiod categorized daimons as human that…

created by God and God only. While Atheists believe there is no God at all, and they have different views on how the world was created. Christianity verses Atheistic Theism: they are two completely different worldviews. This is where I will compare and contrast my worldview to the Atheist worldview. The ultimate reality is, “something that is the supreme, final, and fundamental power in all reality”, which is God. Christians believe that God is the ultimate reality. We believe that God created…

state between Catholic and Protestant of the Royal Family made it difficult to believe in one particular religion. The afterlife was a distinguishable and essential view within both religion.The Roman Catholics believed that ghosts were the souls of dead individuals who would return from Purgatory, and the Protestants believed that ghosts were the devil in disguise whose jobs were to convince…

the beliefs of the community. The element of religion affects art because artists in communities paint about what they believe in or what they love. For example, a christian artist would probably paint or sculpt Jesus Christ ascending from the dead, or Jesus walking on water. On the opposite side, Islam's do not believe that our savior Jesus Christ was crucified, so they wouldn’t paint…

God is all knowing. His divine intellect, or omniscience, is undeniable when examining scripture. There is an overflow of scripture to back up the claim that there is nothing and no one more intelligent, more knowledgable or wise than God. We get understanding of God's omniscience from the writings of David. This is especially shown throughout chapter 139 of Psalms, which starts out with David exclaiming, "You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you…

unaware of who or where they were -- strangers to their surroundings. They no longer felt pain, hunger, thirst. They feared nothing. They felt nothing. They were dead and did not know it” (Wiesel 1). The conditions those people were in were so bad, so horrific, that it caused them to completely shut down and become merely the living dead. Their environment affected the way they acted and felt about…

existence of God and in this paper we must grasp that people will always be able to defend where they stand, and why. Both parties in religion, as in, those who believe and those who do not are going to have evidence on their side. In this paper, we are going to look at my personal thoughts on the justification of God, while utilizing William James thoughts, “The Will to Believe.” Most reasonable option to explain or justify the faith in God would be the discussion of the Living or Dead…

this view continue to persist today? Why or why not? Yes, I believe it is possible to prove the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. However, the Bible tells us that we cannot come to know God through secular knowledge alone; we need the help of the Holy Spirit. “The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit” (1 Corinthians 2:14 NIV).…

DANIEL’S VISION We can see in the Bible about the stages of God descending to human level. Daniel was privileged to see this in a three-stage vision. Let us turn to Daniel 10: 5-9. In these verses, Daniel first sees a Glorious Vision of a Man. This was a vision of the Son of God (Theophany) with the Glory of God. In this context, you may recall the prayer of Jesus in John 17:5, “O Father, Glorify thou me with thine own self which I had with thee before the world was”. When…

sometimes even as adults we disobey our parents, but most importantly we also sometimes disobey God. God tries to tell us what is better for us but instead we turn around and ignore Him.…
