This theme is people, and God created all people. Culture is a part of human relationships that must not be overlooked. In Romans 3:28-30, Paul addresses culture and the fact “that man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.” Paul spoke to the Jews regarding their neglecting of other cultures. The Jewish culture was so worried about the law that they could not justify anything or anyone outside of it. Therefore, The Jews denied the Gentile culture and neglected them.
It is founded in God, Who did not only create the Ten Commandments, but He is the standard and the law. God allowed sin to come into the world. He did not create it, yet He created the possibility of it. God cannot sin nor even be tempted by sin. He is so holy, just, and full of grace that He had to send His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for these sins and humans’ depraved condition.
If God is good, fully holy, and all-powerful, then why does Heallow evil and sin to be in the world? God created mankind with free will, which created the opportunity for disobedience against Him. To disobey of disbelieve anything in the Holy Bible is the same as disobeying or disbelieving God Himself, because all the words in Scripture, or God’s Law, are His words. Therefore when man disobeys the commands that God has set in place for him, he is sinning, and should be punished. Even though God is fully good, He created man who is fully sinful and He took on the sins of man by the atonement of Jesus Christ, His one and only son, to show His holiness and glory.
Though Romans says that human nature is that we are sinners. Human beings are slaves to sin and seem to be powerless against it. We understand that we are not righteous at all, and that we need a relationship with God, so that we can be empowered by His righteous. His righteous comes through our faith in Jesus Christ. Only he can redeem, justify, and sanctify us, and we need all three for our salvation.
This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.” That verse tells us that we should act the way God would if he still walked the earth to this day, and in ‘The Crucible’, The church has been practicing a false statement of God—God is a forgiving God, But the reverend is doing the opposite and instead of giving the accused a second chance, he sentences them to
Christianity teaches that people should not work on the day of Sabbath as God himself didn’t and that it should be the day of rest. However, Jesus didn’t follow these rules and decided to do the most loving thing and heal a sick person on this day even though he wasn’t supposed to. Some could argue that situation ethics and its ideas about love fit into Christian theology perfectly because even Jesus broke rules to do the most loving thing possible. Johns part of the gospels state that “God is love” and from this we can interpret that Christians must live their lives by trying to be Omnibenevolent and doing the most loving thing in all situations no matter how extreme. Fletcher incorporated the quote from the gospels into his ethical theory and devised six propositions and four principles.
Orgon had loved Tartuffe like a son, and he had bought in to Tartuffe’s display of religiousness. Likewise, Christians hang on the church’s every word and are ignorant of the church’s sins. Orgon refused to believe that Tartuffe had betrayed him even when his own son testified against Tartuffe. Only when Orgon saw Tartuffe’s sinfulness with his own eyes did he realize his hypocrisy. This is equivalent to Christians standing up for the church without knowing what the church stands for.
The Christian worldview understands that everything is the Lords and we are to treat it as such. Sometimes it is the lack of understanding regarding the ways of God and the principles of His word that can keep leaders from treating their employees with respect and with moral love. Nash (1992) stated, “Christianity simply will not make sense to people who fail to understand and appreciate the Christian doctrine of sin” (p. 48). It is easy to look at our ways as right when if they were put against the word of God we would see how wrong they really
There is no need to be scared to go to heaven because heaven is a better and more peaceful place. I believe in this essay Jonathan Edwards tries to scare you to be afraid of the lord and it actually causes the feeling of the peaceful and loving god you believe in into someone to be scared of. If you believe in Christ you shouldn’t be afraid and later throughout my essay you will find out why. Everyone will be held through the same punishment in the time the lord shall come but it wouldn’t be anything dramatic. If you believe in him and read the bible correctly god
The Sermon on the Mount is one hundred percent anti retaliation. If someone even does anything evil to you, you’re supposed to turn the other cheek, forgive, and pray for the ones who did you wrong. As a people we have a hard time following this simple rule because we don’t want to let people walk all over us, but apparently that’s the ideal way to live one’s life. The main reasons for this rule of living a moral life is that everyone, righteous or evil, are children of the all mighty God above. “That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” (Matthews 676).
