One of Taylor’s main rhetorical strategies in his writing is his utilization of metaphor. In “Meditation One,” he discusses God’s plan and the ways that we are used in it. His use of metaphor paints a great picture for the reader. Taylor’s first metaphor comes in stanza two of “Meditation One.” It says, “For thine Elect, there rose a mighty Tide!” (Line 10). Edward Taylor is using the idea of running and overflowing water to describe love filling up heaven.
Romans 1:20 says “that the creation has been seen and understood because of God’s invisible qualities, divine nature and His eternal power so that men may not have an excuse.” It, therefore, follows that God is seen through His creation. He has made everything showing mercy to those who spit on His face that He is the same God that created everything by the power of His word. People who have seen His glory through His creation have no excuse before Him for they have seen and experienced yet rejected Him (Frank, 2013). Our Human Identity According to Paul, Christians should find their human identity in knowing Jesus and their true nature. Genesis 1:27 says “that we are made in God’s image” and according to Romans 7:25, “are joined to the father in spiritual union through Jesus Christ.”In Him, we find who we are because of the fellowship we have with Him.
I love the painting, The Birth of Venus, by Sandro Botticelli. I like the innocence of the figures. They are painted very simply. The simplicity adds beauty to the painting. I have an interest in Greek mythology, and I like to see how stories are brought to life through pictures.
Beliefs are not inborn; we acquire them throughout our life and experiences. God is my creator; He created the Heaven and Earth, the light to ward off darkness, good and evil. It gave us the opportunity to choose between good and evil. God created us out of love and to love, to share in His light, and His goodness. I believe that the main characteristics of God are: Love, power, justice, and wisdom.
Browning over-exaggerates the features and beauty of the nature of England almost making them come alive with her use of personification. The poem is very descriptive and also plays on all the five senses. She shows the sense of taste with the use of the word ‘sweeter’ in line 12, ‘ Made sweeter for the step upon the grass’ and also line 20, ‘Fed full of noises by invisible streams,’ the sense of hearing is shown using the word ‘noises.’ Browning also used the repetition to give the reader a sense of continuity. She shows that nature is evergreen and will be omnipresent in this world. This can be seen with the repetition of words like ‘the’ and ‘and’.
Its scripture talks about how day and night give truth to his glorious work out art. Nothing is hidden from his God’s eye due to the fact that he circles around the whole heaven. The second theme that Psalms 19 speaks about is How God’s state of mind is prefect in everything that he does. Also, how to feel connected with God as one and be rejuvenated in his honesty. Another one is to be acknowledged that we can be self beings but we do not want to be look upon shamefully.
Colours can be used as symbolic elements to express deeper meanings that are effective and universal. Artists often use colours in their paintings when attempting to convey a specific mood or concept. For example, if an artist is trying to display a theme of despair and sorrow, colours such as black and grey are apparent. Through these colours, the viewer can comprehend the tone of the masterpiece set by the artist by connecting the colours with the appropriate feeling or emotion that is naturally sensed. In the novel The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald is an artist.
This is why God created a universe fit for human life, and why he laid down guidelines for how to live our lives. According to Christianity, each one of us is created for communion with God; God wants to know us, to love us, and to rejoice with us. Examples in the Bible are Proverbs 19: 21 and Ephesians 3: 20. The most basic principle of the Christian moral life is the awareness that every person bears the dignity of being made in the image of God. He has given us an immortal soul and through the gifts of intelligence and reason enables us to understand the order of things established in his creation.

Sound Devices in Poetry: William Blake is a poet who wrote the successful peace entitled “The Tyger”. This poem was very well written as it displayed a vast variety of sound devices such as alliteration, repetition and onomatopoeia.

In doing so, Blake emphasized the point that God is all mighty, the father of all creation.
