God of Carnage

process of growing in our relationship with God and becoming conformed to Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit (26)”, with brokenness being the “Bedrock of spiritual formation,(27)”; the gospel being the “power of God for the beginning, middle, and end of salvation. It is not merely what we need to proclaim to unbelievers; the gospel also needs to permeate our entire Christian experience.(27)” He Wraps this section up with the great invitations of God, where he establishes his…

is was not solid evidence to say that Jesus had wrote the bible. It says that God sent Jesus to advertise a message to the world but Jesus only spoke one language and it was Hebrew. It is nearly impossible for someone to speak to the world in just one language when there are many other ethnicities and languages spoken around the world. He couldn’t have spread a good message if didn’t alternate the true meaning of what god was trying to say. I am not religious by any sort, my parents have never…

Immaculee shares the power of faith in God as she describes the physical, mental, and specifically spiritual obstacles she faced in the 1993 Rwandan genocide. Rwanda consists of three tribes, the rare pygmy Twas, the minority Tutsis, and the majority Hutus. Hutu extremists turned on their Tutsi neighbors after the country’s president Habyarimana’s plane was shot down. After 100 days of slaughter, the death toll climbed to 800,000. Instead of turning her back on God and blaming Him for allowing…

Gods have helped to shape the world around us. The deeds that have been done in the name of religion are numerous and awe-striking. A great number of wonders have been accomplished in the name of various creeds. Mother Teresa worked with the poor of Calcutta all in the name of her faith. The dark side of religion is also striking. The Crusades, begun by Catholic Pope Urban II, resulted in the deaths of thousands. The divine in daily life has remained very important from ancient times to the…

time, death responds, “Almighty God, I am here at your will, your commandment to fulfill.” This shows that he is commanded at a certain time and he is always ready to act upon that. This is contrary to what is expected of man, since he has received the will and the command of God to live according to his holy attributes, which unfortunately he has denied. When Death seeks everyman out he starts his conversation by letting man know he is in a hurry to take man back to God. Everyman ask death Why,…

division amongst God’s followers, worldview, alternatives for humanity, Christian beliefs, and God’s way of communicating Christ to us. Followers of God can be divided into two separate categories. The first group of individuals is known as the Pantheism. They believe God is similar to the universe, which every natural being is of the universe, and are of God. In addition, they believe that there is no good or bad, only human perspective. Their thought process is the wiser one becomes,…

theology and science. To be specific, for Keller, while claiming for “the reconciliation of religion and science” , she sees that theology has its own right in presenting the seemingly impersonal infinity of the cosmos as the creation of the interpersonal God of infinite love. In this way, theology can complement natural science in its own right. Also, Keller engages with diverse Judeo-Christian materials ranging from Scriptural traditions to medieval Jewish mysticism, such as…

quoting Psalms 115:3 “Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him”. This can be put in another way “There is absolutely nothing that happens in the universe that is outside of God’s influence and authority. As King of kings and Lord of lords, God has no limitations.” Basically, this means that since God created the universe he is sovereign over all of his creation. Being sovereign “means being the ultimate source of all power, authority, and everything that exists. Only God can make those…

between believer and God (312). Once thought to be “un-Jewish” until new knowledge of Judaism became possible, the Lord’s Prayer was rediscovered as a primitive Jewish prayer simply because in Judaism they also refer to God as “Father.” This is now understood to be a basic ethical text, a “guidance to the sublime life” according to Gregory of Nyssa, and a summary of the Christian message. The openness and ambiguity of the prayer’s petitions and wording…

a Puritan’s everyday life was very important throughout their daily routine. Unlike Christians in today’s society they ate, slept, and breathed the Bible and thought that everything they encountered throughout their day was because God was punishing them or because God was praising them. Even though these Puritans lived this way at times they would lose track of what the true meaning of the Bible was and do ungodly things causing corruption in a puritan town. So, these Puritan’s believed very…
