God

With the view of Homeric Greek gods and the view of the Hebraic concept of God, I will argue that the relationship between the gods and humankind is similar to the relationship between God and humankind because both gods and God allow humans to exercise their free will. The differentiation between the relationships is that the Greek gods have human-like behavior and do not necessarily have a need for love from humans while the relationship between God and humans is both a choice and a test of loyalty

Called by God! Am I called by God? That is a very good question. I have had a tough time with this question, with this statement. How could God call a person to ministry that can't get this walk right? I have struggled so much that I often felt as though I was a wolf in sheep's clothing. That maybe I was a present day Judus. That maybe I was here to prove that all this was fake. That there was no way to live a life pleasing to our God. That we can't really give up our fleshly desires to serve

believe in God the triune; revealed in the Scriptures as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – One God not three separate God’s. “God is God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit – these persons indicate how God is… The person is not an essence…. The person is the identity born of a relationship and exists only in communion with other persons…. In this communion each person has his own personal features, which cannot be transferred.” The term ‘person’, is a woefully inadequate word when describing God the Father

The very existence of God is shown through the creation of the world as well as humanity’s belief and conscious knowledge. He is composed of characteristics or called attributes. Attributes are specific characteristics that God possess within Christian theology. God is wise, holy, loving, jealous, merciful, and He is the Trinity which are all key elements to His true meaning. As Christians their most basic religious faith is that God exists; He is the man that is described, preached, and taught about

The film God on Trial explores the controversy behind the existence of God and his goodness, in terms of the Jewish people and the Holocaust. One argument that is presented is that God cannot exist because he allowed the suffering of the Jews, despite the covenant that they shared; and if God did exist, then he could not possibly be good for the same reason. The other side of the trial that is presented is that God does exist, suffering is merely a test, and through faith the Jews and the Torah

disrespected God. Disrespecting God could result in punishments ranging from being put in stocks and pillories, to public whippings, and even public executions depending on the severity of the offense. In all three of the short puritan readings, “Upon the Burning of Our House”, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”, and “Huswifery”, the authors show their intense faith in God throughout their writing. So, how did the Puritans view God? Well, to but it simply, the Puritans viewed God as an almighty

God not only revealed Himself, but He demonstrated Himself as a covenantal God by redeeming His people and making them His Nation on Earth. God states that He the LORD “brought” them out of the land of Egypt. In the land of Egypt, the people lived under the rule of Pharaoh. They were the slaves to Pharaoh, subject to his will. In Egypt, Pharaoh was Lord of the land, and was god through office. However, God in His power delivered His people from the hand of Pharaoh. That they may exit the land of

God is the Supreme Being. He is the creator and the sustainer of everything. He created everything out of nothing. He is the Necessary Being. Someone who has always existed, will always exist, and cannot not exist. He is someone who started everything and is the cause of everything. He is the pinnacle of perfection. He is the basis of goodness in this world. He can do things beyond our thinking. If He has the power to do things beyond our imagination, how come there are still imperfections in our

proclaiming the gospel of God and the Kingdom of God. But many of his disciples, like John the Baptist, did not envision the Kingdom of God for themselves nor the Kingdom miraculously coming from Heaven. “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent and believe in the gospel.” (Mark 1:14-15, ESV.) The phrase “Kingdom of God” is the centerpiece of Jesus’ teachings and is found in his unique way of speaking about God’s kingship. The arrival of the Kingdom of God did not mean the end

Brahma, the father of Hindu gods and men, is depicted as the creator of the universe. He is the first member of the Hindu Trinity and ruler of all. Brahma is acknowledged as the creator as he periodically creates everything in the universe, periodically due to the Hindu cyclical belief of everything being created for a certain period of time and destroyed only to be renewed in a new form once again. Of the three greatest Hindu deities, Lord Brahma dominates the first position, that of the creator
