The Nation of Gods and Earths

controlling power. A God. It states that our fate and fortune is attributed to a higher power, and that we have very little or no control over our own life. This is one of the main principles that brought the settlers in from Brittan known as the Puritans and Pilgrims. They believed that God brought them here and that Typology should be use to interpret his message. It didn’t take long for a new way of thinking to emerge. Deism doctrine states that there is a God. However, God has no control…

Countries want to prosper economically regardless of the other country devastation; they only care in how war is going to benefit them (becoming rich and powerful). World War II is involved with this factor; for example, the Japanese attacked the Manchuria for oil, they only wanted to take control over to benefit from this product. The United States went to war, because Pearl Harbor was attacked, but the major reason was that a depression was hitting to hard. At the same time to aid the war…

Throughout the Bible God provides us with many examples of people who show such a faith in Him, that He shows them amazing grace. Although they did not live perfect lives, they had such a faith God that God gave His mercy and grace and they lived their lives to honor Him. In Genesis, Noah demonstrates his faith in his willingness to believe and trust God and being obedient in God's commandment to build the ark. David is another Biblical example of a man whose great faith and obedience made…

religion. Their stand on pertinent issues is adopted by other nations either by will or imposed based on the strategic reasons only known to the government.

will for the Fathers. Yet how many Christians truly have faith in God? Nehemiah had complete faith in God. The Nehemiah's story is astounding, but not a very well known one. Coming from a high position in the king’s palace he placed himself lowly to help the Israelite rebuild there once beautiful wall. Nehemiah not only rebuilt the wall but also the Israelite themselves. It’s very easy for people to state that they have faith in God but not act upon that ‘faith’. Nehemiah had a comfortable…

absolute, truth belong to the category of absolute, hope you get that. It makes no difference if your truth and mine are not necessarily the same. That your truth and mine is not in aliment or page is inconsequential. But come to think of it, what on earth is the truth?

God spoke to him as follows, ‘For my part, this is my covenant with you: you will become the father of many nations” (The Covenant 15). This according to the Hebrews at the time was a direct agreement with Yahweh and Abraham, that as long as Abraham did as Yahweh asked the covenant will stand. This…

another factor to the culture. The Egyptians personalized the forces of nature and they would think of themselves as living in relation to them. The main gods of the Egyptians were the Nile, the sun, the moon, the earth, etc. During the time of Moses, God sent plagues that attacked a specific god.
