Discuss the view that religious experiences must be true because there is a common core to all of them. (35) The view that religious experiences must be true because there is a common core to them postulates that religious experiences are veridical experiences of the divine having roots in the same objective creator. The theist claims the objective core of all religious experience is God. Note how succinct and clear this paragraph is – how it spells out the assumption in the question to show the examiner understanding of the topic. The classification of religious experiences by William James, Rudolf Otto and Richard Swinburne all support the view that religious experiences have a common core.
In today’s Asian societies they still strongly believe in the cycle of birth and rebirth, which is represented by the wheel of law located on the Great Stupa. The wheel of law is used to defeat evil actions, thoughts, desires, and ignorance. To put the wheel in motion the Asian societies must produce good action and completely follow the Lord Buddha s teaching. They also believe the Earth is covered by
But when they’re all workin’ together, not one fella for another fella, but one fella kind of harnessed to the whole shebang—that’s right, that’s holy.” (l29-35 p.85) By those words Jim Casy explains that mankind is holy in itself, that we are great only when we work together as one, that mankind’s greatness isn’t about what it prays to God but what it does with what’s around him. It is an introduction of one of the main topic of the book, which is the power of family and fellowship. So clearly we sense a predominance of the biblical themes in this book for that matter we can see that its importance is also projected in the people’s reactions during and after the speech
As the most perfect being, God must exist. According to this statement Descartes, is stating that God must exist because he is the most perfect being, meaning he has numerous attributes such as being eternal, and never having the need or requirement to alter or change in anyway because he is already in a state of perfection and has attained from existence therefore does not need the transformation of change to become somewhat “better” or have the desire of improvement as being God already has those attributes in essence to who he is. Furthermore this goes to say that God must attain exist existence as the idea/concept or understanding of existence is perfection, and God is all purely a perfect being and has all the attributes that define perfection, hence he must hold the attribute of existence. Another idea according to Descartes is that out of knowledge of God is innate. His four premises lead to the one conclusion that “God therefore exists eternally.
I believe that Hrafnkel is not guilty for four reasons. First of all, Hrafnkel has his own religious faith. Even if it’s difficult to understand or accept in some way, Hrafnkel’s religious view should be respected. It is his right to have a religion that he thinks is sacred. According to Hrafnkel’s saga, “he had a large temple built and held great sacrifices to the gods.
The reason for those two names is because Hinduism has influenced virtually in religion and can absorb other religion so it can honor and embrace their saints. Hinduism is possible to do all that because all of the genuine effort of spiritual and unmistakably souls that are evolving throughout the union and to achieve liberation in the
(Heb. 6:1 faith is the substance of things hope for and the evidence of things not seen. I would answer the Axiological question by saying, “God is the creator of the for universe.” Not only does he creates everything, he is everything. So that means because God is of value, we are of value too.We have to always keep God center. (Exodus 20:3 You shall have no other Gods me.)
World peace is obviously on a larger, global scale. Umma, people of the Islamic community, see themselves as one community no matter where in the world. They believe that there can be no world peace (or the Lesser Jihad) without the Greater Jihad. Inner peace is very important and there is always a great need for it. Inner peace is what makes people strong and without it they lose courage to face difficulties.
5. Persistence When somebody is predestinated for salvation, nothing he does can change that actuality. The Puritans emphatically trusted, that God intervens effectively in their lifes. They trusted that God is available in each human activity and regular marvel. Henceforth, nothing happens by chance except for everthing happens intentionally.
In nirvana, you are living out your life as Buddha. In moksha you reach Brahman the highest class in the Hindu Caste system. One similarity I found throughout all the religions is the act of karma. Whether it is Eastern or Western culture, each religion studied believed to do things that were morally correct. It is in none of our duties to cause pain to others.
