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
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
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
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
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
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.

beings: he was God 's son. He was all man because he had a growth, development and limitations as a normal human. But he was also every god. In the Bible certain details and evidence for this claim is. Throughout his life he never sinned, forgive sins and God did. In addition, he called himself "I am" like God because Jesus, God the Son, and God the Father are one. Moreover, Jesus shows the union of God with humanity. He had three purposes; be the prophet who spoke the word of God to the people,
God knows all (Bible, KJV, multiple verses). The reaction to Feuerbach’s concept of a role reversal when it comes to God and religion is spot on, in so many ways. The declaration at the top of this page is prime example of what Feuerbach is explaining and the movie clips are portraying. As Feuerbach states “we are divided into two selves” (Chaffee, 2013, pg. 360), so on one hand we want to create a super ego of perfection and place those attributes into our imaging and understanding of God. But
Does God Exist? The existence of God is a question that has troubled and plagued mankind since it began to consider logic. Is there a God? How can we be sure that God exists? Can you prove to me that He is real? Does His existence, or lack thereof, make a significant difference? These loaded questions strike at the heart of human existence. But the real question is, can we answer any of them? These questions are answered in the arguments of St. Thomas Aquinas, Blaise Pascal and St. Anselm of
