to forget. He hates and detests those who lie but

Producing Wondrous Deity Musubi No Mikoto Island

Inch Every 18 Miles Idea Of God
3,076 words
Either God exists or He doesn't. There is no
middle ground. Any attempt to remain neutral in
relation to God's existence is automatically
synonymous with unbelief. It is far from a "moot"
question, for if God does exist, then nothing else
really matters; if He does not exist, then nothing
really matters at all. If He does exist, then
there is an eternal heaven to be gained (Hebrews
11: 16) and an eternal Hell to be avoided
(Revelation 21: 8). The question for God's
existence is an extremely impo...

Michelangelo Creation Of The Heavens

Michelangelo was explained to be somewhat of an
idealist in his vision of religion. He saw God as
loving and compassionate, and man as he was first
created; pure, noble, and innocent. From the
Sistine Chapel, The Creation of the Heavens, as it
is titled, shows his view of God perfectly and
clearly. In fact, the image shows the way others
viewed God, as cruel and angry, as well. Many
people in Michelangelo's time felt God was cruel
and angry; that he was without mercy for man. They
