It shows Christians that they should help everyone who is in need, leaving no one behind. Jesus also has the Commandment of Love, ‘you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart ... You shall love your neighbour as yourself’. The Commandments of Love underpins the relationship between God and his believers. The Ten Commandments are a list of religious rules given to the people of Israel by God. It outlines the behaviours that are not allowed personally or not to be tolerated in others.
By keeping their hair, sikhs are respecting their God as they believe that human hair is a creation of God and they should respect God's gift. The uncut long hair was created by the Guru which is the leader in sikhism. Due to the guru spent all of his time on studying theology and using his knowledge to illuminate sikhs he didn't have time to shave his beard or cut his hair. After a hundred years, unshaven hair became a symbol of the Sikh people which is protected by the spiritual crown--the turban. KANGHA: As the sikh are supposed to keep the kesh, they have to keep it tidy.
We are not body, soul, and spirit, as taught in the Bible, but just body.” This means that all humans are created with somewhat of a sense of morality. I say “somewhat” for the sake of the mentally disabled. Everyone will be held accountable for how they lived their life here on earth, whether mentally challenged or not. Many theologians and I myself fully agree with this statement. Theologians like Dan Story obviously believe that no one person can judge.
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. Romans 3:10 & 11 states “that we are not righteous at all and we do not seek God.” In other
Guru Har Govind, Guru Har Rai, Guru Har Krishan follow as the sixth, seventh and eighth guru. Guru Teg Badahar was the ninth guru and Guru Gobind Singh Ji was the tenth and final human guru. He created the order of the Khalsa, which pertains to the Sikhs that have gone through the purifying ceremony to be closer to god. The Khalsa tells a Sikh how to live. It tells them to never remove body hair as well as to dress modestly and to have no idols or believe any other holy scripture than the one they are told to learn.
“Holy Cakes” is a story that teaches us that everyone is equal in god’s eyes, and even though everyone is not on the same caste platform socially they can be emotionally and spiritually. This message is constantly preached in Sikh temples to remind us not to judge people, and treat everyone with equality. The “Golden Temple” fits well with the proverb “It’s better to be safe, than sorry” because they teach the same lesson. A man from the Sikh community decides that he will chip gold off from the Golden temple. However, as soon as he takes the gold, he instantly becomes blind.
Ms. Campbell stated, “Man is good, so there is no reason to repent for wrong-doings since salvation is attained through increasing your spiritual awareness. By attending services and studied the belief system, complete freedom, which we refer to as “Total Freedom” can be attained. With these studies, we grow with the ability to determine our own answers in regards to life and eternity, so we can’t repent and asked to be forgiven from that which we know to be true. We become aware of the fact that we are only a spirit with a body that constantly changes, so our memory and true identity remains
Native Americans believed everyone was the same no individual was better than the other. Puritans believed that God had chosen a numbered of individuals to join him in heaven. According to Deloria, Puritan literature was written plainly to reflect their plain lives, while Native American literature was decorated with colorful expressions, reflecting wilderness life (210). The Puritans, unlike the Native Americans, who lived slow paced lives, tried to glorify God in their every action. Literature reflected the lives of both cultures.
Godly wisdom can only be held by God himself, but we can strive to educate ourselves as much as possible, thus reducing mistakes, misunderstandings, etc. that cause our followers grief. Another character trait of a great leader is complete honesty. Nothing hidden because there is no reason to hide anything. Complete openess is needed.
Living by faith is not a choice nor the result of a stalwart human effort, but the working of the power of the Holy Spirit in one’s life, transforming one’s heart in such a way as to willingly submit to God’s call to a life of self-sacrifice, self-renouncing and the Cross. It seemed to me that my Father’s command to live by faith opened the floodgates of severe trials and afflictions to see if I would trust Him implicitly with all my life and heart or would apostate. Seeking to help me understand the kind of life the Lord was calling me live, on the 12th of September 2015 the Lord told me to read the history of the persecution of the Apostles and the Early Church at the hands of the Roman emperors and Christians in the Middle Ages (1208-1834) at the hands of the Roman Catholic church, and in particular the persecution of Dr. Martin
