The death of his mother doesn’t even bother him so show sadness. When Meursault realized that his freedom was gone away for good he begin to see things different.”And I felt ready to live again too. As if the blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope: for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world.”(Camus Stranger122). The quote explains that maybe he took the world for granted and there was so much to accomplish in the world of freedom. In The Myth of Sisyphus -Sisyphus stole the gods secrets and he was punished for this action.
Jonathon Edward’s “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” Starting in the mid-18th century, the people of Enfield, Connecticut began to lose their beliefs in Christianity. One man named, Jonathan Edwards, took it upon himself to preach to his congregation of sin and hell. In the hope of reviving their many other beliefs in Christianity, scholars refer to this time or even in early American history as “The Great Awakening”. One of Edwards’ sermons was called, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”. The sermon explains in detail of the wrath God has and what Hell has in store for the non-believers.
Christians nowadays have become bored with the routinely repetitive and medieval liturgical services, and seek change or a new spark to reignite their faith. Modern Christians have birthed a obsession to claim the worship is “fun” - fun is basically the summary of joyful and lively- and prove that Christians know how to party in church. While I advocate the idea and stand for having “fun,” I find the reality hard to grasp: to be lively and joyful should not be our primary motive when we leave to worship God. Our main goal is worship God in reverence and awe, and thank him for his mercies in Jesus Christ. There is no reason why celebration cannot be included in that, but worship in God is a time to be silent, reflect on your life and pray for help of others.
Shouldn’t he always be the one who should be served not serving? And why did Vance choose Junah, Heady, and Michael? I personally saw nothing that was truly special or deserving of something from God. I tried really hard to answer these questions myself; however, I only came to one conclusion. Perhaps god took the position a caddie and humbled himself was another motif/lesson placed in by the author.
He is still living, but he is currently 83 years old. While he may not be so famous that any random person on the street would know him, he is well-known among Christians for the way he has followed God’s great commission of spreading the gospel and accomplished what seemed to be impossible. Brother Andrew is my hero and one of the greatest Christian heroes of the twentieth century, demonstrating bravery in the face of imprisonment behind the iron curtain, obedience to God’s calling on his life to smuggle bibles into Communist countries during the cold war, and complete faith in God’s ability to perform miracles to accomplish distributing Bibles and spreading the gospel to areas of the world where Christianity is forbidden. Brother Andrew was born in the Netherlands in 1928 (Brother Andrew). He grew to adulthood without being a Christian, although his mother was a devout Christian.
Job 4: 7-21 is taken from Eliphaz’s speech to Job. After undergoing immense suffering for no apparent reason, Job curses his life and birth and seeks comfort from his friends. Although Job is a good and holy man, Eliphaz states that suffering is the result of sin. He is implying that Job’s suffering is a result of a sinful life, although we already know the true reason for his pains. In verse 7, “Think now, who that was innocent ever perished, or were the upright cut off?”, Eliphaz basically says that the good do not suffer.
Response to Being an Atheist Christina Yarbrough PHIL 210 Liberty University H.J McCloskey wrote an article entitled “On Being an Atheist” which dealt with the atheist approach to the cosmological and teleological approaches and the problem of evil. He calls his view of the arguments proofs, as he feels that the arguments offer no proof for the existence of God. He believes that atheism is a more comfortable way to believe than that of theism and that those who believe in theism should be upset just because they believe in God. I believe that McCloskey has a fallacy in his arguments and that the existence of God can not be proven through any one argument, and that all we can do is defend our beliefs within the realm of our own understanding. McCloskey is reminding atheists the ways theists argue for their belief in God.
Usually, someone is given a distinct ability to improve the area of their holy discontent. For example, I believe that I have been given the ability to use my holy discontent in ways that others are not able to do. The area in which God has gifted me is directly related to it. I happen to be given the gift of aiding in the process of leading worshippers into the presence of God in a reverent state. I am different from those who directly lead the worship, but I aid them in the process.
Enduring in God’s love establishes a viewpoint that changes everything. Love and peace are result of that knowledge and heaven is the outcome. Yet, if we do not see God’s love the right way, if the
