The traditions of man must give way to this new generation of worshippers, worshippers who are not frequenting the Church but are in the communities helping, reading ‘spiritual’ books to help them learn about being great people, and having a relationship with God. This is the generation of the Church without walls, they are not seeking the norm, but are challenging the traditional Church to come and meet them and when they do come for baptisms, funerals, or weddings to accept them. The Church must take these opportune moments and get to know these individuals and they may have the answers that the Church is seeking now. There is a responsibility that the Church has that must take place before It can prosper
One of my peers asked us to attend church with her. At that moment I was excited to finally get a chance to worship. We got dressed Sunday morning and she drove us to church. When we arrived at the church music was playing and people were on the floor with a cloth over them, speaking in then a language I had never heard, rolling on the floor, and being anointed with oil. The church I was raised in did not worship in this way.

Answer the following questions in 150 to 250 words each about the religious group you selected: • How does your selected religious group differ from other religious groups (such as in their beliefs, worship practices, or values)? Jehovah’s Witnesses differ from other religious groups in a number of ways. The basis for the religion is that the end of the world as we know it is near. They believe that all other churches as well as all other religions are of Satan and all pastors are considered to be the Antichrist. While most religions see the cross as a holy symbol, Jehovah’s Witnesses do not believe that Jesus died on the cross but on a punishment stake and therefore they see the cross as a pagan symbol.
McCloskey contended against the three mystical verifications, which are the cosmological argument, the argument from design and the teleological argument. He called attention to the presence of evil on the planet that God made. He likewise called attention to that it is irrational to live by trust or faith. As indicated by McCloskey, confirmations do not essentially assume a fundamental part in the conviction of God. Page 62 of the article expresses that "most theists do not come to have faith in God as a premise for religious conviction, however come to religion as a consequence of different reasons and variables."
The belief in a miracle can come from either experiencing them or religious reasons and explanations. People that believe in miracles usually believe in the religious evidence that we are provided with. Christians and Catholics will believe that miracles can happen because there are a lot of stories in the bible that seem to break the laws of nature and almost seem impossible to believe in, for example Jesus healed poorly people and he rose from the dead. In our society people believe that rising from the dead is humanly impossible and then jump into assumptions that this event must of had some sort of supernatural explanation; others will not believe it at all. Catholic people think that if you believe in God miracles seem more obvious to you and if you deny and test the existence of God then it will be harder to see the miracles happen.
However, creationism says that the world and living things was created by God. Creationism refuses the idea of evolution and it causes some arguments about whether evolution should be taught in schools or not. Evolution should be taught in schools so that students can gain different points of view about human nature. Creationists believe that creationism explains the existence of God. They do not believe that species change into totally different and separate animals through evolution, as sacred books mention about existence of God and they contains strict rules.
This is especially true of Christianity. In short it can be said that theology works on religion. Theology is in fact based on religion. It is a system of studying about God especially Christian religion. Religion does not deal with any sort of rational analysis.
After I was saved my preacher gave us a message on God's call for our lives. This was the first time I had ever heard anything like that. I went home that week and read my Bible like crazy. The preacher taught that God talks to us through His word. So I was determined to know specifically what to do about the job I had and what move to make.
