Gods and Generals

IF...I was a member of the General court witnessing this sermon, ‘politically’ the sermon wouldn’t have any influence on me. The idea of the sermon was to change and persuade the views of the people who attended the General Court. It leaned towards changing everyone’s ‘political’ views. Cotton Mather had written Theopolis Americana: An Essay on the Golden Street of the Holy City…What a mouth full. It was published in 1710. In the beginning, he cited passages from Roman II, he talked about the…

talking about ow how we as Christians should e open to learning and growing in everything at all times, and how we do not have to limit ourselves to only learning about one thing in a certain place or time. The next main idea that I was drawn to was that God is truth and we have no way of knowing the full truth because of our sin. It was stated that truth was taken when Adam and Eve first fell from sin and now we are confused by that truth, the example of the ping pong balls made a really good…

questioned God. Pi says at one point that it is not atheist who bother him but agnostics. Atheist believes that there is nothing out there, they disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods. They only seek the truth, something they can touch, hear, or see. Whereas agnostic live by doubt “God might exist”. They believe that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in…

ith all three of the Hellenistic philosophies in my approach in life. Some I may not agree with their teaching views but for the most part I agree with their philosophies on life in general. These two philosophers had almost similar views on life in general. Diogenes and Zeno teaching were related to the teaching of Jesus in a way. But as for Epicurus, I agree somewhat of his views but for the most part I don’t agree with his teachings. Diogenes was the philosopher who came up with the idea of…

impacting perception. God, like the universe, is nonconcrete and perception changes between individuals. God is at once all encompassing while simultaneously minimal. God defines morality while justifying corruption. God elevates some while undermining others. The distinction between God and god lies in the circumstance or beliefs of the beholder. God in the most literal sense pertains to religion. Whether seen as a singular god of monotheism or a pantheon of gods from polytheism, the…

God picked Joseph to be the natural father of Jesus. The Bible lets us know in the Gospel of Matthew, that Joseph was an upright man. His activities toward Mary, his life partner, uncovered he was a kind and frail man. At the point when Mary told Joseph she was pregnant, he had each privilege to feel disfavored. He knew the kid was not his own, and Mary's apparent unfaithfulness conveyed a grave social disgrace. Joseph not just had the privilege to separation Mary, under Jewish law, she could be…

have and will continue to ask God for wisdom concerning which path I should take in life. One path that has come across my heart is the idea of a vocational ministry. The other path that has come across my heart is a career in law. These two options seem extremely polar at first. However, I am reminded by Ephesians 3:20 that God is able to do “exceedingly abundantly above all that [I] ask or think, according to the power that works in [me].” That is why I pray to God that in my future,…

The analysis of expectations on David from the different perspectives ---Zeju Li In general view, King is the divine representation of God. His power is unimpeachable and his majesty shall be glorified.

But people will not be inclined to withdraw his majesty and gift that men endow for the purpose of seeking protection of their life,…
