God Does Not Exist Waiting For Godot
1,403 wordsDoes God exist? I guess thats the question proposed to everyone at least once in their lives. It is a strange topic with so many views, opinions, and debates. If asked what a person perceived God to be or the ideas that God dictates, each individual scrambles from the depth of their mind to find a definition and words to describe the feeling of God that runs through their hearts. With that in mind, each individuals own interpretation and feelings arise from their own personal intangible encounte...

Idea Of God Living Creature
1,202 wordsThat history contains errors, will not come as news to a person who has reflected on the topic. The very first history, a Greek one, History of Herodotus, written around 450 BC, likely had quite a number of fictional details so as to effect its purpose. 1 Those parts of our history which are suspected to be fiction are, at least, through research and comparison, salvageable. What, however, is possibly more disturbing than the realization that, in general and throughout, our history is wrong (a s...

Concept Of God Origin Of The Universe
1,577 wordsPeriodically someone will say to me, "I don't understand how anyone can be an atheist. How else could one account for the origin of the universe itself?" The Christian apologist, Hugh Ross, makes an argument much like this. He argues first for the thesis that the universe had a beginning, the moment of the big bang. Second he assumes that there must be a cause for the big bang. Next, if all physical reality, including time and space, arise out of the big bang, then, whatever the cause may be for...

Rule Human Destiny Parallelism Between Fate Beowulf
534 wordsBeowulf is an epic about a larger than life hero, who becomes leader of his people. The overall tone of Beowulf is predominantly Christian, 'owing to a vision of evil in the world, a belief in the power of Fate to rule human destiny, and resignation to the certainty of death. ' Parallelism between fate and providence, constant battling between good and evil, and the virtues of consideration of others, moderation, and unselfishness all support this overall Christian tone. 'Beowulf is more than a ...

Death Penalty Religious Beliefs
960 wordsWhen turning on the television, radio, or simply opening the local newspaper, people are bombarded with news of arrests, murders, homicides, and other such tragedies. I believe murder, including the death penalty, is the worst thing that anyone could do. Since Hammurabi first introduced the notion of "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", people have been arguing over whether this is just punishment. Those in favor of the death penalty argue that people should pay for the crimes they do. For ...

Created By God Spirit Of God
1,458 wordsAnalysis of The Creation This opening excerpt of Genesis lays down the situation in which the Creation occurs. It is very interesting to dissect the statements within this particular passage because it asserts the nature of both God and goodness, but also of evil. It stands as a paradox with many other ideas of the the Bible and of the Church, and in this way I believe some of its meaning may have been lost through the centuries and through different translations. This beginning excerpt from Gen...
