This branch of philosophy is one that dedicates itself of the realm of reality. One’s perception is key to understanding the existence of God, this happens through our view of ultimate reality (ontology and cosmology) and all Christians believe that Jesus is the Supreme Being. To understand this more thoroughly, we accept that the design of this world was purposefully created for the purpose

1. In a minimum of 100 words, describe the basic teachings of Zoroastrianism. What a fascinating religion, Zoroastrianism is! I never knew this religion existed.

Religion 120 has taught me something more than just the meaning of religion. I would argue that I will be taking away more knowledge from this class than any other class I have taken so far in my college career. The learning path Professor Robert takes has benefited me throughout the semester. The learning path I took persuaded me to open my mind and absorb and understand the ideas of other individuals. After I opened my mind up and read all of the content we were assigned in class, along with listened to my classmates and professor Robert’s take on religion, I was able to picture religion as something other than just the physical place of worship and discussions taken place there. When most individuals think of religion they think about going to church and not much else. Religion is so much more than just the physical place and the individuals leading the practice. Religion has the potential to help guide you in life, along with giving you a sense of meaning in this big world. Religion has the power to help you connect with individuals like yourself,

29:11), there are much more to be said about what happens to us after we die. As Christians, our belief affirms that there is eternal and abundant life after death for those who die in Christ (John 3:16, John 10:10). Referred to as heaven, this life after death is connected to the life, teaching, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The believer takes hope in knowing that this present life is only temporary but life with Christ is eternally.

Theologians worldwide believe that Judaism begins with God's promise to Abraham in about 2000 BC - "I will make you a great nation" (Genesis 12:2). The descendants of Abraham are often referred to as the "Children of Israel." The history of Israel recorded in The Torah covers approximately 1800 years,

Growing up, religion never played a big role in my life. My mother, who came from a religious family, never pushed religion or the Bible onto us and not much

Beginning as a direct rebuttal of Corinth beliefs regarding resurrection and eventually evolving into a explicit and according to Paul irritable account of the events that lead to resurrection of the dead. The passage showcases Paul’s authority on followers of Christ and just how seriously his understanding and beliefs regarding Christ were taken. Again as 1 Corinthians is in part a direct address to his intentions in helping the church and part response to Corinth inquiries.The Resurrection of the Dead passage Paul structures his response in a way that makes no room for his commentary to be misinterpreted or ignored. Verses 12-19 are a clear formulation of taking Corinthian rebuttals to resurrection and using their own phrasing to admonish their disbelief.These verses are structured as a continuous unfolding of Paul's response. It begins in verse 12 with an acknowledgement that some in Corinth do not believe in resurrection of the dead and then continues on verse after verse appealing to that disbelief.

My father is the minister at Sims Hill Christian Church and he has always taken us to every church service held as long as we were able. It has always been a priority in the Jones’ household to read the Bible and to present ourselves in the correct manner. Without God, the pursuit of happiness

I have come to know of religions other than my own, and each has different ways of worship. By taking the time to learn the different religions of the world has helped me with understanding what others believe. In learning of others beliefs will help me in recognizing the way they dress, act and respond. Religion runs deep in different cultures all over the world, and with many it is sacred, symbolic, and law. Religion brings people together in time of need such as deaths, destruction or pain, also in celebration of birth and marriage.
