how we got here? Some believe we came about through the single cell theory or evolution, but others believe life was created by some higher being that they call god. The teleological argument know also as the argument from design. The argument is used by theists to persuade the existence of god to agnostics and atheists. It states that god or some intelligent being created the universe or life on earth and keeps it in balance. It tells that an object with intelligent design must have an…
Dionysus is easily seen as the ‘mad, drunken god’ and has constantly be repressed,and been a symbol of activities and actions that should be repressed, by both history and society. However, the madness that the god of wine embodies should be nothing sort of celebrated as the ‘madness’ of Dionysus needs to be something we as humans strive towards. “Wine has in it something of the spirit of infinity which brings the primal world to life again (Otto 101), not speaking specifically of wine, becoming…
Moving on the the spread of these religions and the experience of early believers. For Judaism, the early followers were people that opposed the belief in multiply gods, such as the Romans believed in, and set their mind to a singular, all Devine God. The spread of Judaism started with Abraham controlling a nomadic tribe journey to canaan, the promise land. One of the sons of Jacob, the grandson of Abraham, lead the tribe into Egypt, which ended up enslaving the tribe. Freed by Moses,…
polytheismos) is the worship of or belief in multiple deities, which are usually assembled into a pantheon of gods and goddesses, along with their own religions and rituals. In most religions which accept polytheism, the different gods and goddesses are representations of forces of nature or ancestral principles, and can be viewed either as autonomous or as aspects or emanations of a creator God or transcendental absolute principle (monistic theologies), which manifests immanently in nature…
seeking my own personal theology with God, without paying attention to the pastor’s theology. Allen wrote, “theology affects the way preachers understand the Bible,” [1] which is something I understood, but when Allen wrote, “theology shapes how the preacher understands the congregation.”[2] was a new revelation I received from this book. I had the mindset many preachers based their theology in one field. Allen hypothesized that many preachers do not have a singular theology, but many…
Pascal's assessment of an existence worshiping a false God. Time considered for the Worshiping of God, ought to be taken demonstrating this to really be a misfortune, and undoubtedly a bogus love of a God could bring about sudden passing by method for religious war, suicide shelling and so forth and I trust that there ought to in any event be some misfortune ascribed. The second issue with esteeming would be that of doubting in an existent God. It is accepted this is a restricted ticket straight…
possibility of a God, it is important that one first delves into exactly what characteristics this being is said to have; mainly what is it this being can and cannot do. Religions touting a singular entity, God, to be their creation of the world, hold several interesting beliefs with regard to the characteristics of such a being; God is Omnipotent, omniscient, and is morally perfect. Religions holding a singular God to be responsible for creation, have a similar belief, in that God, in his…
we have done nothing for our lives, we do not even deserve them, we need to be thankful for what God has done for us. Luther ends his theories on creation with the question of why God created things that we have and he says, “But why has he given them to you and what do you think he gave them to you for?... No, in order that you should praise him and thank him” (Luther, p. 164). This shows that God did not create the Earth for himself, he created it for humans, and he deserves gratitude for…
Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he sworn to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” (Deuteronomy 30:19-20 NIV) ‘Don’t you get it? I love you.’ God already led out the Way, and all we must do is follow it. However, at times we are lapsed in judgement, but no matter how many times Israel disobeyed God’s law or turned away from the Lord, when Israel cried out to the Lord for help, God…
