their cultures but also the world. Zoroaster lived in Persia where Persians believed that there were many gods to be worshiped and rejected the idea of monotheism. This is why it was so shocking when Zoroaster started preaching how he received a revelation from an angel named Vohu Mana that said that there was only one god who Zoroaster termed Ahura Mazda and that any other god was an evil spirit or demon. Zoroaster did not let his peoples’ skepticism shake him from spreading his true…

image of the situation. Gilgamesh and Enkidu cannot fully be equals because Gilgamesh is seen first as a god-king and Enkidu is identified as his more human protector. When the reader is introduced to Gilgamesh he has the appearance of being more god than man. “Gilgamesh was the king of Uruk, a city set between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in ancient Babylonia… Gilgamesh was called a god…

able to recognize his or her call or, not accept that call, but God is responsible for choosing and accomplishing the given tasks that God has for the chosen ones. The narrative of Jeremiah’s call has a typical pattern pointing to the commissioning and task that is assigned by God. In this instance, the one who is called becomes an agent of God, while the promise (verses 7-8) of God to watch over God’s word also includes a sign from God. (verses 9-10) The Oxford Annotated Bible postulates…

The Existence of God The existence of God is all around us. Love and faith are much like God. We don 't have to see love or faith for it to be real, but we feel it in our hearts and souls. Unfortunately, this has become a disturbing time here on earth for what Christianity is about. It 's as if we don 't want to believe he ever existed in the first place. Critical rationalism through history, credibility of fideism, and The Holy Bible will continue to insure faith and impact his existence to…

It is important that we truly focus on the aspect of building a relationship with God. God will use the trees, signs, people to speak a prophecy to us, or to confirm or affirm things that we have been wrestling with in our spirits.

This paper…

There are many examples of Him using force in the Bible to achieve justice! Christians can be in law enforcement, the military, and can fight, as long as they are seeking justice, just as they believe God…

going through and she ended up breaking up with me shortly after the week at Falls Creek. Contrary to what other people may see the solution as, I healed by losing my religion. That week raised real and troublesome questions for me about the nature of God and his morality. After months of exploring the internet, I came to the conclusion that there was no reason to believe in the silly superstitions that I had been raised in. I realized that there is no grand arbiter controlling everything that…

Underestimating God When something evil is happening it is normal for mankind to go through the five stages of grieving (Axelrod, 2006). Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance are all normal parts of processing a detrimental moment in life. No two individuals will go through the stages in the same time or even the same order yet rest assured that at some point we will all ask: why? As part of our quest to understand our relationship with the rest of mankind and God we…

Rebecca Berger Clement Philosophy 101 October, 15, 2015 Do God and Evil Coincide? The issue with the presence of evil and the existence of God is most commonly the question of “if God is all powerful and all good, why does evil exist?” or “if evil exists then would God not be all-powerful or all-good?” If God was an all-powerful being then He would be able to prevent evil things – war, disabilities, natural disasters, etc. – from happening, but since they seem to occur every day, He must not…
