For example, Mark 12:31 states, “ …’You shall love your neighbor as yourself,’” as Jesus’ proclamation of human relationships with one another and God. The biblical worldview acknowledges that God created man in His own image. Therefore, man should also value human relationships that are similar to their own valuation of God.

Written Assignment 1 In his lectures, Professor Ambrosio examines the existential question: “What is the meaning of life?” Professor Ambrosio explains that questioning the meaning of life is important, and that the question is more important then the answer.

The first distinction talks about the life of the “hero”.
The story depicts the unjustifiable suffering experienced by Job who was considered a man of virtue. The account has served both as a means of supporting traditional morals and as a launch pad for more profound philosophical interactions concerning the issue of human affliction. There are quite a few undeniable themes in the Book of Job, which include the virtue of patience in spite of suffering, faithfulness rewarded; suffering's not being a punishment for sin, God's omnipotence and the examination of morality. Theologians Marcus Aquinas and Pope Gregory I offered that the Book of Job taught that suffering was a purifying experience that was desirable. Other scholars have suggested that another theme worth examining is humankind's inability to understand how God works outside the world's interpretation of justice.

In this theory there are two forms known as the governmental and the satisfaction. The governmental contends that the work of Christ met the demands of the law and cause humans to desire a divine government making their forgiveness safe. The “satisfaction” contends it was to satisfy divine justice making forgiveness of humanity possible. The second is the remedial theory, where God, enters humanity by incarnation to eliminate sin through an ethical process of the life of Jesus and His death and making humans one with Him. Finally, the “Socinian” or moral influence, which claims that Jesus influences people to live better
The decision to survive is often determined by what that person thinks of themselves and the world around them at that time. In the readings assigned to this course I have seen stark differences between those that survived and those that did not survive. People like Parrado and Ralston see that there are reasons beyond merely themselves to survive. Then there are people like McCandless and Reuss who have turned their backs on the civilized world because they have become disillusioned with the world in general. McCandless and Reuss were not comfortable in the world that valued the obtainment of material things and the completion of specific accomplishments.
