the supreme being: God and Lord God. While God and Lord God both have immense power and the unique ability to create, they are separate characters with separate personalities. Lord God is like a Greek anthropomorphic god with human desires and limitations, whereas God is an all-powerful abstract being of pure spirit. Lord God, like a Greek anthropomorphic god, has a human form and body. We first learn about Lord God in chapter two, the second creation story. Firstly, Lord God “formed man from the
that when God spoke for the first time, Life, in the form of an energy called light, illuminated the universe. In that moment of time, darkness was the present condition across the expanse. The darkness could not understand the light and thus fled as God expressed his sovereign will through the spoken Word. The declaration of His Word brought forth light. This original light inundated the cosmos with life. Therefore, we conclude that life in the universe exists by the verbal Word of God. The written
our lives we hear people saying, "God has blessed me" or "I am blessed" and most of the time the first thing that comes to our minds is success. We immediately relate blessings to something great. The most common understanding of what it means to be blessed by God is that we receive good things from Him. In this case, we can say that everyone, believes and non-believers receive blessings from God. However, we should ask ourselves this: are the blessings from God only limited to materialistic things
Looking into the way of Buddha, he has reached this state of perfection and enlightenment on his own, not through a higher power. In many ways he fulfills the attributes to be a God, though, there are also numerous differences that do not suggest he is like a God. Buddha is claimed by many to be a teacher of the Gods. Throughout the teachings of Buddha he thought believing in a higher power is originated from fear. He wanted people to understand their fears, lessen the desire, and ultimately
you believe in God? How? "Nobody likes to be proven wrong and theologians are certainly no exception." What is your idea when you hear the word "God or gods?" Is God real? Is God not real or merely a product of human weaknesses? In a January 1954 letter to the philosopher Eric Gutkind, Albert Einstein (who called himself “a deeply religious nonbeliever”) described the idea of God as a “product of human weakness.” Will you agree with this idea or not? Why? God Vs. The Idea of God elaborates the
The Romans believed in more than one god. When A Roman conquered a god they took them and made a shrine in their house. The Romans had shrines towards god to worship them. The Romans took the Greek mythology and adopted it as their own. The 12 main gods/goddess were Jupiter God of the sky who was Zeus; Juno Jupiter’s wife and Queen of the gods/Goddess who was Hera; Mars God of war was Ares; Mercury god of the trade who was Hermes; Neptune God of the sea who was Poseidon; Venus Goddess of love and
The phrase is God ultimately responsible for evildoing because evildoing is due to the God giving us free will I believe to be false. I don’t think that God is ultimately responsible for evildoing. I will be arguing that God is not ultimately responsible for evildoing and here is some reason that I believe this. The first reason that I belive this is I believe that like Augustine that there is no single cause of evil and that each one of us is responsible for the evil we voluntarily commit. I believe
of God. Man, in his unregenerate province is hostile to God and is not able to accept theistic construction of God as revealed in the Word (1 Cor. 2 :14). Whether he is a good standing citizen, a notorious sinner, Negro spiritual cunctator , phallus of a church, a pastor, a minister – an unregenerate man, no matter what his occupation is, will not accept or understand the things of God. As a solvent , he will pervert the conception of the man nature, which includes the concept: image of God. Here
No matter what path one chooses to follow in life, God will find a way to inflict punishment. One can disobey his words as Adam and Eve choose to, commit actions whilom forbidden and in turn taint mankind, or one can be as devout as Job and have one’s entire family slain in the name of a challenge posed by Satan. One might as well disregard the idea of God in itself if one is to find naught but chastisement in his or her lifetime. In Hebrew, יהוה (HVH), oft later translated to ‘YHVH’ and eventually
Is there a difference between the Christian God and the gods in the famous book known as the Odyssey? Should we really care if God or the gods of the odyssey are better or worse than the other or for that matter be thankful that we are ruled by God rather than the Odyssey gods? In many ways they are very different. Sending his only son to die on the cross God, loving and merciful, showed he cared about his mortals, while the gods of The Odyssey will try to kill you even if you slightly offend their
