How Can Man Be Right With God?

Surah IV is an explanation and list of women’s rights pertaining to laws, inheritance and marriage and also touches on families in general. Vss. 19-39 is an important passage because it is the groundwork for marriage and women’s rights in the marriage. There are very specific instructions on how to punish a woman who has acted indecent, when a woman should and should not get her inheritance, whom a man can marry and how a man should treat his wives. Verse 19 starts the discussion on inheritance

Many questions can be asked concerning the Christian world view. Some of those questions include who is God? What is the nature of the universe? How does one distinguish right from wrong? How does one know what they know? These questions among others can be answered by reading what is written in the bible. The words of the Bible are written by man but inspired by God, who provides the answers to sought questions. According to Revelation 1:8 – God has declared “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning

humanity is physical, people want to encounter God in a physical way—one they can understand and see. Many heresies place themselves as mediators for God, or man being the center of existence, however, theocentrism is the belief in which God is central to existence. The importance and worth of people or the environment are ascribed to God’s one-time creation, while ignoring the trinities work in the world; much like the Deist ideology that claims God created the world, but has little or no involvement

Eliot’s poem can summarize his entire argument that he makes in Choruses from “The Rock”. But it seems that something has happened that has never happened before: though we know not just when, or why, or how, or where. Men have left GOD not for other gods, they say, but for no God; and this has never happened before that men both deny gods and worship gods, professing first Reason, And then Money, and

Many people in the world today have decided that a world view doesn’t matter; that everyone can simply believe what they would like to believe, and it wouldn’t make a difference. However, someone’s worldview determines there every act! Hitler for example, believed that Jews, disabled people and elderly people were worthless; he thought that he could make a perfect world. So his beliefs led to his actions. There is only one world view that is correct, one that would explain all questions and that

What is Man? This question is answered by simply looking first in Genesis at the Word of God. “God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27, NIV). Man was made by God to spread His Word and to obey Him, and glorify Him in everything they do, and to rule over God’s creation. The three things that embody man are his body, his soul, and his spirit. The human body of a man is a soul and hopefully possesses the spirit of God. A man's

How morals were shaped through the creation stories in the book of Genesis “The first principle of value that we need to rediscover is this: that all reality hinges on moral foundations. In other words, that this is a moral universe, and that there are moral laws of the universe just abiding as the physical laws” (Martin Luther King Jr.). Everyone around the world, regardless of gender, race, religion, and political views are defined by their own moral compass. The decisions that people make are

have been involved in a dynamic battle that always comes back to one question: Is there such thing as “God”? I have been raised up in a pretty much non practicing Christian home. To grow up in this type of lifestyle I have encountered a multitude of different belief systems that were either Secular or Christian-like. But with this debate of if God is real or not I have come across the issue of how to walk out my life with the time that I have. This paper will go through the debate of the topic of morality

the sole purpose of their existence. Both have had long term effects on the world in which we live. They both illustrate the way man treats one another. The question that is asked in both cases is what this relationship means; how it affects the believer, and does it change the way the world is viewed. Naturalism or atheism is based on the belief that there is no God or any supreme being, and the world just evolved from nothingness. The ultimate reality of Naturalism is that the eternal existence

When man dies where does he go? This is a question humanity has been pondering over since the beginning of time. Deep within humanity’s being mankind as the ability of reason. Reason explains that this world is not the end of everything. Man cannot fathom the concept of ceasing to exist. Therefore over the years countless people have come up with ideas to life after death. Christianity calls it salvation. Buddhism calls it enlightenment. But no matter what the name is, it all deals with what follows
