one in my case study. I have had throughout my life I have never had to seriously consider whether or not a child with special needs will receive salvation. I believe God has given me a set of beliefs that I can build upon that will help me understand and respond when I do encounter a situation similar to the one in the case study in my ministry. I did have one conversation about this topic during the spring semester of my junior year of college. It was a conversation with my dad and my Uncle…
death of John Donne's wife which complements his relationship with God. The sonnet illustrates the happenings in John Donne's life. According to the researchers the death of his wife Anne caused a great impact on his life. She passed away at age 33 after giving birth to her twelfth child. He mourned her soo deeply that he devoted the 17th sonnet to her. In the sonnet he gradually reveals the formation of his relationship to God, which is motivated by her death. John Donne opens the poem by…
slowly loses his faith. Eliezer loses his faith in God, family, and humanity. There are many things that contribute to Eliezer losing his faith. One reason is because he is confused and doesn’t understand why God could let such an awful thing happen to him and to Jewish people. In the story, it states, “Why should I sanctify his name? The Almighty, the eternal and terrible master of the Universe, chose to be silent” (Wiesel, 33). How could God let such a terrible thing happen to the people…
Hi Jacinda, I don’t question the existence of God, but I do wonder how the universe began because I like the science that is involved. For instance, if in the past years, new religions have generated with many Gods; then I can assume that people are entitled to wonder about science? People might wonder why others might question if it’s God vs. Science. They might believe there is not in between because they either believe one or the other. I believed in both because I think that science…
Bible is an incredible book of history and facts that proves that there is a God that created all things. I believe that without the words of God in our lives we are really empty. I think it is helpful to read it and apply it in the life. The Bible is free from error in all it affirms and unfailing in its purpose. I have in my religion the Quran, which is the holy book of Islam and is viewed by Muslims as the direct word of God. The Qur’an will lead us to the Paradise. 2- Spiritual reading is…
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…

Making way for electronic money only and the “mark of the beast.” Satan’s antichrist will require everyone have the mark in order to purchase, anything. Warning! Warning! Danger Beware! Don’t take “The Mark of the Beast” which is 666. RFID chip? One day…
never planned the trip. Goff and his 10-year-old child would just take off for an adventure. Throughout this chapter Goff often reiterated the importance of living life, and doing so without fear of having regrets. Rather, you put your Faith in God because he calls us too…
quote really resonated with me because it truly captures the battle that occurs within Christians, especially with regards to the concept of evil. That battle is human reaction, emotions and behaviors against the values of faith, the overall concept of God and his essence. This idea of the battle between two differing sides came to mind as I pondered the issue of evil and its purpose in the lives of people. That initial question eventually developed into a new question once I came across the…
identical religious opinions. In the pieces of work “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” and “Upon the Burning of our House”, the authors have two polar opposite religious opinions. The author of “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” ,Jonathan Edwards, feels that God is more of an angry God versus the opinions of Anne Bradstreet, the author of “Upon the Burning of our House”, who feels that God is more of a gracious God. Their opinions are very contradicting, but do have a few similarities.…
