praise the Lord through songs of praise and worship. Singing the songs or worship and praise is a corporate event, therefore the worship leader encourages congregants to participate is all aspects of the service. There should be a flow of God’s immanence to transcendence. Proclamation of the Word of God should be the climax of the service. The preaching of the Word of God should be expositional. A time of response and invitation should wrap-up worship. There are special ordinances that are to…
world) takes on the role of creator who creates a plan, the Son (immanent meaning within the world) takes on the role of redeemer and executing Gods’ plan and the Holy Spirit (coming from God and within human beings} linking both transcendence and immanence takes on the role of maintainer who ‘manages’ the…
She is who retains feminist ideas while also maintaining her relationships, but most importantly her marriage. The Feminist Wife does not buy into the idea that a woman’s sole purpose in life is to search for the man of her dreams in order to live happily ever after. She is aware that this is a socially constructed idea that has been perpetuated in the media and that this notion is not imbedded within nature. She does not believe in the idea that the wife and husband are meant to be. Instead,…
the Tree becoming of the Cross. The Tree/Cross, itself being a representation of pure brilliance, signifies directness, exposure, and refers to divergences and the greatest bounds of life. The parallel and perpendicular magnitudes, supremacy and immanence, finite with eternal encounter. The symbol itself then bridges the abysmal distance between heaven and earth. In the ancient world trees marked sacred places and each tree was believed to have its lord, ruling spirit or soul. Significant events…
only ignores females as moral beings but also narrows the ways of approaching ethical issues for all. By aiming attention at female values such as “interdependence, community, connection, sharing, emotion, body, trust, absence of hierarchy, nature, immanence, process, joy, peace, and life” instead of solely masculine ones such as “independence, autonomy, intellect, will, wariness, hierarchy, domination, culture, transcendence, product, asceticism, war and death”, an ethical view can be applied…
Simone de Beauvoir was born in Paris on January 9th, 1908 to a Catholic mother and an atheist father. At the age of fourteen, she followed her father’s steps and practiced atheism.

She was the ninth woman in France to pass the comprehensive philosophy exam and to receive her degree. During her studies, Beauvoir met philosopher, novelist, and playwright Jean-Paul Sartre. Both…
In Descartes’s third meditation, he writes that God is a “substance that is infinite, eternal, immutable”, while Spinoza, a believer in immanence, claims in Ethics that “Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived” (Part I, Proposition XV). Hence, both conjecture that the idea of a perfect being could not have been conceived from our imperfect minds and must thus…
Secularization introduces many perspectives on the essence of religion. Friedrich Schleiermacher, Ludwig Feuerbach, and Søren Kierkegaard were all 19th century philosophers who were authors of intellectual, religious writings. They each expressed their outlook on the essence of religion and expanded on their theories specifically. According to Friedrich Schleiermacher, feeling is an object of religion. Religious feelings are an infinite state of consciousness and knowledge is self-conscious…
Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu can be translated as The Book of the Immanence of the Way or The Book of the Way and of How It Manifests Itself. Lao Tzu, author of the book, can also be known as “The Master”. He has a form of government planned and wishes to everyone follows and support this plan. His main goal is simplicity and naturalness.

While some women in society go against the myth of caregivers and weak individuals, Women are qualified as other in our social status because women are viewed to be submissive, physically weak, and are meant to be healers. Which is why I believe that de Beauvoir is morally and ethically correct, by believing the idea of the social myth behind woman is flawed. As stated in De Beauvoir’s book “The Second Sex”, is mainly about the social role of woman. During the time she published the book she…
