In this assignment, I will be going into depth who God is, I will talk about humanity, Jesus, as well as Restoration. They will all be very tricky for me to write about, but I feel like the restoration of humanity will be the most difficult. This paper will hopefully give some new insight to how important God is in this world, and how much of a part He played in the creation of this world. God In the second discussion question of week two, we had to provide three characteristics of God. The characteristics that I chose were merciful, light, and our refuge, but in reality it’s hard to characterize God with only three characteristics. In fact, I saw many characteristics that were posted by my classmates that I hadn’t thought to list, such as the fact that God is eternal. But, to be honest, the bible is full of characteristics, especially in Psalm 145, in this particular passage it lists at least 19 characteristics of God. The textbook also states, “Some of these attributes can be seen through what God has created, and, most notably, through his eternal nature, his omnipotence, and his goodness.” (The Beginning of Wisdom) “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1) God’s creation happened in six days, on the seventh day he rested. God created day and night in the first day, He created the sky on the second day, on the third day He created plants, on the fourth day He created the sun, moon, and the stars, He created animals to fly in the sky and live
In this assignment you will summarize and analyze the essential elements of the Christian worldview and reflect on implications for your own worldview.
A proper assessment from a biblical-anthropological perspective needs to take into account the image of God as part of human nature. The three dimensions of the image of God (relational, structural and functional) form the core of human nature. Humans are relational beings with the structural capacity to relate to others and fulfill their purpose in this life. These three dimensions were damaged or affected after the Fall. As discussed previously, normality and pathology are connected with the sinful human condition.
When you look around and gaze at the beautiful creation before you, do you reflect on how amazing God is? God made the creation, man, and everything surrounding the two. There are many different worldviews. This paper will focus on the Christian worldview. The Christian worldview involves God, humanity, Jesus, and restoration.
Our worldview allows us to see into the world at such an angle that it coincides with our beliefs, therefore affecting how we think and live. Whether one falls under an atheistic, pantheistic, or theistic worldview, they are guided in their life choices depending on the beliefs of their worldview. Throughout this paper, I will summarize the elements of a Christian Worldview such as God, Humanity, Jesus, and Restoration; I will then analyze questions one might have about the Christian Worldview, and finally I will reflect on my worldview.
Anselm, sometimes thought of as the first philosopher of Christianity, practiced scholasticism, and in his writings he attempted harmonizing faith and reason. A piece of writing he is author of is called Meditation on Human Redemption. Anselm touches on a variety of topics in this writing. The three major points this document covers are the concept of why God the Father is not able to simply forgive all of humanity’s sins, how justice is to be brought about once humans sin, and how Jesus Christ paid the debts for humanity.
In this essay, I will be discussing God, Humanity, Jesus and Restoration. I will also be answering questions such as: What is God like? What are God's characteristics? What is his creation? Christian Worldview revolves around Christian individuals, organizations and values.
God has every excellent attribute. He is infinite, meaning that He never had a beginning nor will he have an end. This is something
In this assignment, there is an opportunity to compare and contrast the many ways that Christianity and other world religions address different questions. For example, what is the ultimate purpose or meaning of life?, what can I expect after death, and how can I prepare for it?, What interaction can I now have with the divine?, to what extent is religion (including Christianity) a human construct? and How should Christians view other religions in the light of their own faith?. It is indicated that this paper will be careful to not generalize Christianity in matters where there is disagreement.
This essay will propose and support the thesis that God carries the blame for the expulsion of man from the Garden of Eden and resulting downfall of mankind.
A woman dedicating her life to serving the poor and broken in one of the most wretched places on the planet. A lady walking up the steps of an abortion clinic, because her baby had recently been diagnosed with Down syndrome. These actions are the result of some kind of a worldview. This paper will answer the questions of what God is like, how He interacts with us, and the purpose of human life, according to my worldview. The ending tells what it is that has helped to shape my worldview, and the effect that our worldviews have on our daily lives.
In my opinion, the most significant contribution to the article was the reflection in reference to the Scriptures, which states that they are not simply seen as Theology, but as God’s relation to the World. Therefore,
When we talk about “God”, what will you think of? Some people might think of the story of God created human beings in Bible. Others might imagine that believers keep their figures crossed and pray devoutly in their churches, synagogues and mosques. Non-believers might claim that they don’t believe in God. Nevertheless, does God really only refers to religion? From my point of view, God contains the meaning that is more than religion. It also represents humanity. Recently, George Yancy, a professor of philosophy at Emory University published an article via New York Times entitled “Is Your God Dead?” By asking this provocative question, he argues that what God really expects us to do is to look at people’s suffering and deepen our collective responsibility, rather than only hold mechanical prayer rituals.
Some people ask what are characteristics of God that compare to us, well the bible says that God is a mixture of all the races and a mix of everyone. In Psalms 106:26 god states, “So God raised his hand against them, making them fall in the desert.” the key word in the scripture is hand this states God has hands like us. Also in Exodus 33:20 god says, “But," he said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live." Like humans God has a face this proves that we were made in his image.
I would like to start this paper by formally saying thank you. Thank you for showing me just how small minded and foolish human beings are cable of being. In your book “The God Delusion”, you discussed the bible, specifically the Old Testament, as immoral and should not be used as a moral compass for people to use to give them a sense of direction in their life. Also, you mention the “God character” in the story never doubting the massacres and genocides that accompanied the seizing of the Promised Land, making one think that He practiced genocide and encouraged it. Not only that, but you mentioned the constant punishment – death penalty – the people of God faced when they performed the acts of “cursing your parents; committing adultery; making love to your stepmother or your daughter-in-law; homosexuality; marrying a woman and her daughter; bestiality (and, to add injury to insult, the unfortunate beast is to be killed too) … [and] of course, for working on the Sabbath” (Dawkins 246-250). Lastly, you claim that Jesus Christ – the Son of God; the being that makes up one-third of the Trinity – is different from God or even a “better” version of Yahweh and “undoes the damage and makes it all right” (246-250).
God also has attributes that show that he is a personal God and is good, loving, just, jealous, faithful, and holy”( Hiles and Smith 2014). God’s character can never change he is always the same. God character is a spirit, who came to earth in inhumane form to redeem the sinners from hell. God is invisible and is everywhere he can see all things. God created the heaven and earth. He created people in his own image man and women. Everything that comes from God is good and precious he loves all his children the same way and does not wish for anyone to perish. All we must do is accept his gift of salvation life.
