Reflection On My Belief Of God

A young girl walks through the halls of her high school, clutching a book to her stomach as if it were a shield, her hair falling in her face blocking most of her vision except what was in front of her. She kept her head down. She climbs the stairs one by one, the world turns into a blur as she sees her tormentor standing at the top of the staircase. It’s already too late to turn around and go back, they’ve already seen her. Hands grab at her book, and she is pulled away from the swarm of students. Without warning she is shoved, tumbling backwards. Her head meets a metal bar, her wrist gets caught in the railing, the weight of her body tugging on it until it snaps out of place. She slides down the rest of the steps, pain erupting her. Something skids

God is everywhere, God watches and cares for you and is something different to everyone. To me, God is a higher power that is always there to comfort you and forgives you no matter what. God watches over you, protects you, and cares for you. Whenever I am either confused or in need of some advice, I know that God is always there to help me. Additionally, the images and ideas that I have about God are that God is in everything. He is in the plants and nature’s beauty, and in dogs and other living things. I know I see God in things when I need the advice. For example, when I have a hard day and I come home and my dog is excited to see me, I see that God is watching out for me and wants me to realize that someone or something is always excited to see me. It helps me see the glass half full instead of half empty. Lastly, some significant events that have shaped my view of God and who he is to me are hiking and school. Whenever I go hiking and see the beauty around me that God has created in this world, I change my view on him and realize the beauty God creates. Additionally, when I go to school my image of God changes too. In class, whenever other people bring up their perspectives of God and where they see him, I think back to my image of God and how what someone said affects my image or changes it. Overall, God is a provider and someone who watches over me through nature and other living things.

They had not liked how Agnes had made them wake up early to start off their spring break. Going to Agnes’s dusty old vacation home had been her idea. She had figured that she and her friends should have a break from social media, and so she had invited them. As Agnes pulled out of the driveway she had a sudden feeling that she had forgotten something. The feeling soon faded. ‘I can’t be a party pooper’ she thought, ‘It’s a sleepover, lighten up Agnes.’ One by one the 22-year olds stepped out of the car. Stepping out first, were Sarah and Jane. Both girls had tired eyes, “it’s too early for this, Agnes!” they complained. They pulled their bags out of the trunk and began walking towards the steps of the house. The house seemed to be in the middle of nowhere, nothing but trees and grass could be seen. The house was incredibly big, green vines grew off of the sides of the house. A cab arrived a few minutes later, it was the boys, Jack and Jeremiah. They stepped out with wide smiles on their faces. Jeremiah had a thing for Jane and Jack had one for Agnes. In fact, they had been going to dates together for two months now. Once the boys took their belongings from the cab and paid the driver, all five of them headed towards the

It seems to me that our most defining moments happen on the most ordinary of days. What starts out as yet another day at the office or at school, can hold some of the most radical changes to our lives, and I think that is part of God’s amazing power and beauty. We could be doing something we had done hundreds of times before, in my case, playing soccer. I took a ball to the upper right side of my face, around my eye, and the events that ensued helped me to realize God’s plans for my future degree path and thus, the rest of my life.

When individuals contemplates on a deity, they will eventually find themselves studying arguments that revolve around epistemic issues. The questions that may arise include: Is belief in God a matter of rational consideration? Does one need to justify their belief in God based on argument and evidence, or is such a belief not the kind of thing that needs to be justified? Based on these questions, which argument for God’s existence is the strongest and why? This essay aims to demonstrate that the belief in God is a rational matter that requires justification through argument and evidence. The best argument for God is a mixture of the cosmological arguments, because they incorporate empirical data

Her father didn't look her way and her mother made her life h___. One day it got so bad that her snarky replies didn't do the same trick anymore. She stormed out the castle in disguise and didn't come back for weeks. On her vacation away from home, she found the famous Ovarrothage Tavern. It had been late at night and the big, one story building's shined the midnight sky. Looking for warmth, she walked in and the smell of alcohol engulfed her. What caught her eye had been the table to her right, meaty men bombarded the table as the four sitting around it threw poker chips in the center. Watching from afar, she studied every move the strangers made. As quick as she blinked one man stood and cheered as he dragged all the chips of the others towards him. On the table his cards showed two king of spades. The men around either congratulated him or scowled. Her legs moved towards the table without her consent, and she was sitting down before she realized it. The men glared at her as if she was a disease infested rodent. Some muttered, hatred spewing after every word they spoke. Unfazed, Na'Kari pulled out two hundred bucks from her book bag and silenced them all rather quickly. Slightly irritated, the guy to her left shuffled the cards and dishes them out. She couldn't admit to her lack of knowledge and lost all her money five minutes in. They laughed, but not at her iodiocy, yet at her bravery and her stubbornness. When closing time

Finally up the gruesome stairs Harper pulled open the door to her office and was surprised to see two teenage girls sitting in her waiting room, one looked around 14 the other 16, her intern Andre gives Harper an apologetic look, typical of him to forget to tell her about this appointment, ‘’ sorry Harper I know you only do by appointment and all that I just felt so bad in turning them away’’ so this wasn’t’t Just Andrea failure as a intern ‘’its fine Andre, do you know they’re names and why they’re here or is that another surprise?’’ I can understand why Andre couldn’t’t turn the girls away, they looked terrible the bags under their eyes gave hinted sleepless nights, this case was going to be interesting, ‘’their names are Isabelle and Stella they’re from a small town outside of New York you’ve probably never heard of it Burke or something?’’ Harper had indeed never heard of it, having never lived in a small town she always imagined them full of secrets and mysteries. ‘‘Seems a far way to come?’’ Harper replied ‘’that’s what I thought, you don’t have any appointments so you can take this one now.’’

Explain the problem of evil. Do you think this presents a problem for belief in God? Why or why not?

It was a normal afternoon, nothing seemed out of place. There was a new swivel chair in the garage, just recently added to my dad’s workshop. “My sister and I should go and try it out!” I thought. I darted down the hall to retrieve my twin sister Divya. “Come on Divya, Let’s go experiment with the new chair in the garage.” I exclaimed. We excitedly skipped down the hall and into the garage, both of us completely unaware of how dangerous these trivial chairs could be.

Sometimes I wish makeup and nail polish did not exist because girls use it to much. Like a girl named Katora, my dance classmate, had the prettiest hair and it was her’s no one else's. Her smiles could reflect the sun's rays light and from the looks of it a boy’s heart could melt. Ahhh life is great. In the corner of my eyes I was a tall, slim beautiful sight...No! Ms. Attles is coming closer, shoot why why why!!!!!! Nia breath in breath out, breath in, focus already and up!! Soon I was on the ball of my feet twitching, dangling, shifting my weight as Ms Attles picked me up from my insides. A rush of anxiety went inside me as she stared as waited for an approval to go down a nodd maybe. Yet, her head stayed high with her collar bones showing and her extended swan like neck around telling others to go down. “Chin up, for perseverance and showing strength. Come on, neck extended to show grace. Face light upx to show emotion and passion. You want this right!”, she yelled like a lady from the military with no softness in her voice that used to code it like honey. The smell of perspiration with a hint of sea salt came crashing the party in my nose. “I have an expectation for you! I don’t care if it hurts or is not the best thing you like to do in dance class. It will make you stronger.”, she paused

Match up eight of the characters into complementary pairs and explain why you think the two pairs could be productively analyzed against each other.

A reasonable person is a sensible one with sound judgment formed through logic. The common belief of “seeing is believing” makes justifying why God does indeed exist hard for some people because how could a reasonable person believe in something that he or she cannot physically see? Although a person may not be able to physically see God, reason to believe in His existence still exists. It may even be seen as a leap of faith to believe that God exists without being able to physically see Him, yet it is a necessary jump to make. Having a higher power to believe helps explain many of the questions in the world for why things are the way they are, as God is the logical cause of all further causes. Just because you cannot physically see God, does not mean that there is no evidence of God’s existence. It just means the way that you go about demonstrating God’s existence is different. Instead of going by knowledge of the cause itself, a person must make sense instead of God’s existence going from knowledge of the effects. God is all powerful, all knowing, and all good. However, that means his existence is past our mental capacity to grasp as human beings. A reasonable person can still indeed believe that God exists.

What is our identity and who are we? Is the question that most of us began asking to our self. In life, I have met with different kinds of people from different countries and different cultures. Among those people, the people of Muslim nationality are the most unique people I have met in life, as I observed their way of celebrating their religion Islamic its very different. It has been a wonderful experience learning about the culture that is very protective on how they perform their daily religious practices. From child to adult they have taken a chance to practice their religion, children on school and adult have a time that they perform their prayers which is always accurate no matter where they are. This group of people always supports their own community by sacrificing their wealth. They have their own rules and regulation which is set for the community in which everyone follows, that is very strict. various religions have different effects on communities, as we take a look into the Islamic religion, it has its own way of believing on their religion, in which this religious is unique in a community.

When I first had a moment to think about the show after it finished, my first thoughts were muddled, confused, but subconsciously understanding and relating to the story and characters. I had heard from other theatre students who saw it about how they needed somewhere to vent about what they felt and how it, to quote one peer, “screwed [them] up.” Now, I didn’t feel “screwed up,” per say, but there was definitely something not sitting well in my gut. I have recently come to the conclusion that that feeling was probably the discomfort of it hitting close to home. My junior and senior years of high school I spent lost in my faith; I was losing direction and certainty of whether Jesus is God, and if so, how do I actually know that? Other religions exist and believe they are right, so what makes my beliefs anymore correct or valid than theirs? How do I know that Heaven and Hell exist? What if there’s nothing at all and no one is right or everyone’s right and we only experience the afterlife we believed in while we were living? These are the questions I struggled to find any peace with and still struggle with today. When Pastor Paul first brought up Hell not existing, I was a bit confused, but as he explained it, I began to believe it. He had logical convincing arguments based in scripture and it sounded nice. However, as the play went on, more characters brought up counters to his sermon and he had no answers for them, or sometimes incomplete answers. I often feel that way when

Faith is a very complex subject on how it can be obtained and what can be done after it has been achieved. The treasures of having faith brings a person to be saved from any evil. In the last chapter of Mark, it explains “therefore true faith in Christ is a treasure beyond comparison which brings with it complete salvation and saves man from every evil” (Mark [16:16]). When faith is within the person it also brings them righteousness, which gives the ability to break the chains within the person (Luther pg 11 par 2). In Luther’s perspective, the Word of God contains wisdom, liberty, joy, and other morals, which faith alone can only obtain those moral traits. The term “work” Luther uses in his writings is mainly about a certain action people will do such as community service or volunteering. Faith is difficult to have since any type of services work cannot make a person to have faith. Luther claims that person is divided up in two parts, and any type of work of the outer part of the body has no effect in faith, but when a person is saved by faith, Luther suggest giving back by helping other people or do good causes.
