Relationship Between God And Computers And Its Components

The world of "meat" provides the base for much of what happens throughout William Gibson's novel Neuromancer. The lives of characters are shaped by their flesh and blood experiences. The realm of artificial intelligence (AI) is the base for all of the events that are central to the life of a character. All events and lives are under control of the AI, and all things serve the AI's purpose. The matrix serves to mash the two realms together, in times and places where AI cannot physically control the meat. The relationship between these realms is a direct parallel to God's relationship with man.

Technology can be one of two things an instrument through which we fulfill our role as God’s stewards or an object of worship that will eventually rule us. A Christian worldview can be complicated by today’s standards however it can create a balance and give us positive insight towards the future. How do we think about technology in a Christian way? I will refer to (“The Next Story by Tim Challies”) who wrote “Technology is a good, God given gift created in God’s image.” “Technology is the creative activity of using tools to shape God’s creation for practical purposes.” The application of such technology will determine if we are using such technology to further God’s plan or to further human sin by the worshiping of idols.

All of creation is about Jesus. He is the reason all of creation exists. We were created by Him and for Him. Our purpose is to worship Him, become like Him, tell others about Him, and love and serve others like he would.

The purpose of man is to praise and worship God, proclaim his glory, and to accomplish his will."… And whom I have created for My glory, …” (Isaiah 43:7 New International Version). God created all things in harmony. He established a perfect creation that he loves and over which he rules. The highest honor is given to mankind as the only part of creation made in God’s image. Humanity was created to love as God loves, to worship and praise his glory and commune with him as he does with us.

Being created in His image is what enables me to relate and serve others. As I engage in my analysis of my own personal view, I must demonstrate and offer a way to live a life that would be consistent with my notion and reality of a Christian life. If you are anything like me, PHL 205A has allowed me the opportunity to search within my soul and analyze what I now understand is my worldview; this topic has offered a comprehensive and understanding way on how to best distinguish my preconceived assumptions and notions about my worldview. In sharing the same faith we must understand and maintain that God is a purposeful God who created all human kind with the freedom to choose right from wrong. If we pay close attention and ultimately understand that Human life is meaningful, significant, and purposeful; then we are able to see God’s greatness, goodness, and

Bible. Org makes an outstanding assessment, stating, “We are to be mutually submissive to God’s authority, rule over our lives and the earth with moral judgment, and display His image to the physical world”. Therefore, God has created humans to honor His wishes along with fulfilling all plans that He has in store for each

The Apostle Paul reminds us that we should be diligent when we view Gods creation. Creation was designed to point us back to God. He states, “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities- his eternal power and divine nature- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20 [New International Version] This tells us that God can be known to us with only creation as a source of information. Man should treat the other parts of creation with respect if for no other reason than because God made everything to display Himself to us. Romans also tells us that we are never to worship the things God created instead of the creator God Himself (Romans 1:22-23). Creation joins us in waiting for our adoption as sons of God and the redemption of our bodies when it will be liberated from the bondage of decay (Romans 8:19-21).

According to the Christian worldview, God created all of humanity and through this creation he created humans to have power over the creatures and land. Genesis 1:28 (ESV) states that humanity will “fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion”. In addition, God created Eve to be a companion to Adam in Genesis 2. Therefore, it could be said that humans are in need of relationship. Humans are also born into sin and are sinful by nature because of the fall of Adam and Eve from Genesis 3. Due to Adam and Eve wanting to be like God, they disobeyed God, ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and from there, sin and death was created for the rest of humanity. Fortunately, Romans 6:23 (ESV) gives hope to humanity saying that the “free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”. In order to have eternal life in Christ, you must have a relationship with him, which then leads to human purpose. To live out God’s word and share his love means Christian’s are going to have to be in relation with God throughout their life. According to Swidler (2017), “the purpose of religion…is to provide us humans with an ‘explanation of the ultimate meaning of life, and how to live accordingly’” (pg. 204). Growing in faith and learning about God to get closer to him is the human purpose from the Christian perspective. Knowing that humans are all sinful due to human nature, there are

Technology is everywhere. We use technology to do simple everyday tasks without even thinking about it. Technology is found in every item you buy, even your fridge can now have a TV build into it. Some wonder if we need all this technology or if it's hurting us in the long run. Craig Detweiler talking about technology and God in this book IGods.

As told in the Bible (Genesis 1-3), God created the universe and all things we see. God did all the creations in a six day period, resting on the seventh day. It is also stated that each day God created something different from day and night to man and woman. God took his time and examined his work consciously until he was satisfied. By accepting that God created everything that exists including human, we build a closer relationship with him.

God created each of us to be a part of His story as well as create our own. As Eldredge uses G.K. Chesterton to say,“I had always felt life first as a story - and if there is a story there is a story teller,” In essence, God is the story teller, shaping and creating

God created all of us and everything for His own good and loving purpose. Because of this all of us dream of what life and love should look like. God is the Creator and He started everything, both material and spiritual. He has always existed apart from everything He created, while at the same time acting in love for the good of everything He has created.

We do this because God gave us the knowledge and freewill to do so. Robert Krieg said that “a human person possesses in principle at least seven facets” (5). In searching for the meaning to be human, knowledge and free will is two of the seven facets. The reason why God doesn't just tell us what being human means is because he wants us to look for the meaning with what he gave us. When we want to know something we spend our time searching for it, for us wanting to know the purpose of life and the meaning of being human we spend our time searching. When we searching for this it draws us closer to God. God gave humans life, in understanding what it means to be human and the meaning of life we find who God is and why he created us. Then who is God? From the stories in the bible, they tell us that God is the creator of man and earth, that he is eternal love, and that he is the truth. To fully understand this we need to have a divine-human relationship. The nature of divine-human relationship simply means to have a relationship with God. In searching for what it means to be human we grow in our relationship with God. And when our relationship with God grows, this is when you can truly understand why he created

Of course, it is pretty easy for me to say these things because I was born into a church that explains this very well. I don’t want to try to preach to you, but this is what we believe our purpose is.

As stated by Groothuis (2011) “But Christianity, on the contrary, depicted God as a rational, responsive, dependable, and omnipotent being and the universe as his personal creation, thus having a rational, lawful, stable structure, awaiting human comprehension” ( p. 102). All that is in the universe, except for God Himself, is God’s creation. Therefore, my Christian worldview begins with the existence of a God who is the personal and creator of everything we survey. Knowing that God is the cause for creation, brings perspective to my life. It establishes the place of a great being that took time, out of time and space to create the world in which I exist. A world meticulously designed to work as one connected string. How can a world be fine-tuned with irreducible complexity, without a designer?
