Being independent does not mean that we have to cut everybody out of our lives to accomplish what we desire. Equality 7-2521 says he has found “the answer”, which he had long been searching for. That he, himself will be the meaning of new things. He announces that he is done with the word “we” because it is the “root of all evils”. Equality 7-2521 now sees himself as the “face of god”.
Delbanco’s interpretation that Thoreau creates world that we both need and fear is basically saying that Thoreau creates the perfect world that we would need to best survive and would strive the best in; however this world is something that we as people are not used to and have never experienced so we would be skeptical and scared when it is presented to us. I definitely agree with Delbanco’s statement about Thoreau’s world. Although it would be nice to love in a world where things were based on a man’s conscience rather than government, and the people played a bigger part in how things were ran; it would be something nobody is used to therefore no one would really know what they were doing and who is to say we can trust everyone’s conscience because there are some people in the world with bad consciences. In my opinion Thoreau’s world would only work in
I believe that if there is a God and He is great and loves us, then He would want us to think of others and volunteer and those type of things more than worshipping how amazing He is. That sounds very selfish to me. So this is why you should do what you think is right and not because someone tells you its right. Because if someone tells you something is right, they can still be wrong. No one can decide what is right or wrong except yourself.
Things that should guide people towards repentance could potentially keep their focus looking inside themselves. Once a person can truthfully see how sinful their thoughts and lives are, it can and will hopefully lead them to depend on God. While Crabb is relying on God for answers, Rogerian theory states that “no other human being can possibly determine what the correct or incorrect behavior is for any other individual. Because of this, Kensit says that therapists must keep this in mind and use non-directive but yet supportive therapy. (Kensit, 2000).
“Good People” In a way we’re all the same. We believe in one God, just the name has changed. A God who puts love, faith and humanity in our hands. To govern these elements in the right way can put doubt and trouble into your life, and how do we even govern them? And if we do govern them and it’s wrong, how do we correct?
He states that it is either Christianity went wrong or our instincts went bad. He believes that our instincts have gone wrong. He goes on to say that we have been lied to and that our sexual desires is in the same state of any of our other natural desires and if we stop hiding it then things will be alright. Many people think that Christian Chastity is impossible, but when one really puts there mind to it they will be surprised at what they can overcome. Lewis then goes on to say that we cannot simply do it on our own strength but to go to God for our strength.
Encouragement is also a very important factor in this process. In 2 Thessalonians 2: 16-17 it states, “May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave his eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.” Overcoming Rebellion Rebellion is defined as a refusal of obedience or order. Many people don’t like the idea of giving control to anyone but themselves. This can hindered a person greatly because God is in control of our lives and knows what our plan is. If a person continues to deny what God has for them, then their lives will not be happy.
Dreams are what keep us moving forward. They inspire us to do better than what we have done so far. But the thing with dreams is that sometimes we can’t reach them. Sometimes we dream too big, to the point where we could never achieve them in the ways we wish we could. And in the end, they leave us crushed.
We were not simply purchased but redeemed, and we will always have the same redemptive worth in the eyes and heart of God. I have always understood, or at least thought I understood redemption, but as I received the teachings on redemption I began to understand how it was the framework of the eternal assurance of our salvation. We have not just been bought at a great price, our bondage has been removed and we are set free forevermore. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed (John 8:36). If the conditions of our redemption could be revoked then we are not free indeed.
To others, pride can have a completely different definition. Being prideful can be as simple as being a solid individual, meaning this person is solid in their beliefs and little will change that. Once again, this is just a taste of the complexity when it comes to pride. I take pride in my work. Being prideful in the things that I do helps maintain the importance of why I am doing it in the first place.
