have to have a story.” (Eldredge p. 11) God gave us the essential tools to develop a story that follows the path God made us for. We are created in God’s image and likeness. Being created in his image is a blessing. He created us to be good and do good by evangelizing. Having the “image” or “likeness” of God means that we were made to resemble God. We were created in his righteousness and perfect innocence, which is a reflection of God’s holiness. God put each and every one of us in this…

same things as you so much that you told them every other view on the matter is wrong except yours? In an excerpt of “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”, Jonathan Edwards does exactly that. In short, Edwards said that anyone that does not believe in the same thing as he believes in, will not be able to go to heaven. That it is the grace of God keeping them from suffering. Also that they will eventually go to hell if they are not practicing the same beliefs as Edwards. Edwards’ sophisticated…

fell so did God and the possibility of God and for as long as Antonello lived, and he lived a long time, he would never again turned to God. Other survivors recounted praying to God as they swam through the muddy waters to the bank, as they crouched behind some structure to avoid the flying debris, as they watched the Bridge fall. They wanted to tell Antonello, who they knew was a believer, that they were eternally grateful to God for saving them. But for Antonello, the mention of God released a…

Hammer of God” by G.K Chesterton unleashes the confined attitudes of individuals who obtain a lack of discernment and clarity. At times of chaos and mystery the way the individuals think portrays how blind and ignorant people can be, based off of social status and assumptions compared to factual evidence. Very few people understand the true nature of human beings. Individuals in society tend to pass judgement on one another due to appearance and social hierarchy. However, “The Hammer of God”…

2.4 Corrections to Fandom-as-Religion Literature In his article, “Is Elvis a God?,” Frow questions whether we have a methodological approach to understand dead celebrity, particularly its religious dimensions.

We were told what to believe and never questioned it that belief. In this essay, I will analyze the existence of god between “Does God Exist?” by Ernest Nagel and “Why God Allows Evil” by Richard Swinburne. Although Nagel rejects the existence of God, he establishes two causes for why God exists. The first argument is the cosmological…
