Every religion has the concept of ‘gods’ but just in different perspectives and aspects. The same goes to Hindu Trimurti and Biblical Trinity. Hinduism is generally known as polytheistic. It simply means that Hindus worship more than one god. Hinduism is the religion which everything can be their gods. Animals, plants, and things around Hindus are their gods. Hindus are allowed to customise their gods in the shape or the way they want to. If they want a god to be like their mother,…
many Jews looked to God and their religion. The will of the Jews was tested to the full extent, and those who found the light of hope had a motive to survive. The author of Night, Elie Wiesel, demonstrates his struggle in the transition from faith in God to faith in himself. Although Elie loses faith in the idea of a covenant with God, his focus shifts to a covenant with himself to survive After witnessing countless acts of barbarism that go unpunished, Elie’s belief in a just God is shaken. On…
going to examine that point in time when God actually created the earth and put man in charge of it. We should not forget that before now, the creation of the earth and man was only existent in the mind of God. Meanwhile He had created all other things created. Man was the last. So we are now going to examine the Godhead in the Dispensation of Creation. Genesis 1:1 opens with the words: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”…
In today’s day and age one highly controversial topic of debate is religion. Has God become obsolete with all the scientific progress the human race has made in the past few decades? Lewis Vaughn explains in his book Philosophy: Here and Now ( pg. 64-66) St. Thomas Aquinas’s evidence for God. Aquinas’ arguments for the existence of God are known as the first-cause argument and the argument from motion. Aquinas explains that in the universe everything is moving and caused by something, for…
religious belief about God and Jesus Christ. Some religion may have similarities, but worded or rephrased differently. As a result, a person can be persuaded to believe in a false god. The Islamic names Sarmad (meaning, “eternity”) and Musa (meaning, prophet) Qutub could easily fit the description of serving false god. For instance, the Muslim believe in one god, but not as the Trinity, like Christianity. The Christianity’s religion recognizes the Trinity as being the Father, Son, and Holy…
In Euthyphro, Euthyphro tells Socrates he is prosecuting his own father for having accidentally killed a murderer. Euthyphro feels obligated to prosecute his father, against his family’s wishes, because the gods would want him to, and it would be impious for Euthyphro to let his father slide. Socrates asks Euthyphro what the definition of piety is. Euthyphro asserts that piety is prosecuting people for the wrong they have done, and not doing so would be impious. Socrates asks for a more…
current concepts and images of God align theologically with the Christian framework for speaking of God? My current concepts align somewhat theologically with the Christian framework for speaking about God. Seeing God through nature and natural elements is one dimension of the Christian framework for speaking of God however there is another that views God as a man and father figure. I love my dad to pieces however I have never overall seen God as a big father figure. I see God in my mom so much…
The Nature of God and the Trinity begins for the human race with the being of creation. For Christians this starts with the Bible chapter of Genesis. Many people in this world though do not know or understand the concept of God and his nature and cannot see how God becomes three different entities all in one; The Father, The Son, and Holy Spirit making the trinity. In theory by reading the word of God, one can begin to understand the application in the nature of God. However, still may not begin…
“The Rule of Benedict” was written in Latin by St. Benedict of Nurisa in about 540. In his youth, St. Benedict was sent to Rome to study and became disillusioned with the sinful lifestyle of the city and withdrew into solitude to dedicate his life to God. (Intro, Carolinne White). While pursing holiness Benedict started to amass a following who wanted to live like him, soon after he founded a monastery in Monte Cassino, Rome in turn creating the Order of Saint Benedict. Benedict writes his Rule…
In the book The Road, the son and father have a very complex and strained relationship due to the world that they live in. The reasons of this complex and strained relationship could be linked to the facts that the son is fairly doubtful of his father at times, the father places his son at a very high ranking; believing he is the only remaining sign of Gods existence, and that since they are the only two on this journey that lead from a tragic incident, the way they interact and speak to one…
