There is a relatively strong connection to God in this book and many people during this time period believed in God. I bring this up because it was believed that God is the supreme creator of all things including the human race. It would therefore be horrendously inconceivable to challenge God and attempt to do something that would show that a mortal can have power equal to that of God. Next, regardless of how an individual comes into being it the duty of the creator to be there to nurture and care for the creature they have brought into the world. The world is a cruel place, even to those who are normal, but to someone who is different, as we see in the book, there
Evolutionary Christianity With the times that we are in today, we can see that our faith is at the point of maturing, or becoming more known to man individually. Our faith at one time use to be pure greatness, somehow this all changed with time, but now we can see that the greatness of faith is returning. Evolution is expanding globally and making itself more known to the world. Many people that believe in different religions tend to have put aside evolution. This is because to some people, evolution is more of a random, has no meaning and to some it is 'Godless'.
Axial Age German philosopher Karl Jaspers coined the term the axial age or axial period (Ger. Achsenzeit, "axis time") to describe the period from 800 to 200 BC, during which, according to Jaspers, similar revolutionary thinking appeared in India, China and the Occident. The period is also sometimes referred to as the axis age. From his point of view the axial age indicates that during central intervals of time in the history of human thought there have been major advances in the world's political, philosophical, and religious systems. These major changes dominated thinking in the following centuries and millennia.
However, after doing a little more research into the topic, I discovered a list of some of, what seem to me to be, bizarre beliefs along the religious front that Mormons follow. They believe in multiple Gods and multiple worlds, with each world having people living on it. We as humans are only under the power of our
Furthermore, Islam should fear of God so that Joseph in Koran would mention God at first to warn master’s wife. It seems like God in Koran directly tells His people what should do and what should not. People who believe in Koran seem like don’t have much free will than people in bible cause they have to obey what God said. Conclusion: In Hebrew Bible and Koran, the concepts of their gods are that God is the most powerful in the world, but there is something different. In Koran, God has power over all things and people have to abide His words without a doubt.
One of Aquinas’ ways of proving God’s existence; ‘the uncaused causer’, states that every cause in the universe has an effect, the chain of cause and effect must have a terminus to avoid infinite regress. Aquinas rejects infinite regress because it denotes that there cannot be an answer to the question “what is the explanation?” Therefore there must be a necessary being that started the chain, this for Aquinas is God but this is not a satisfactory answer for everyone. Bertrand Russell, somewhat like Aristotle, states that the universe is a “brute fact”, although unlike Aristotle did not see that there needed to be a Prime Mover or Uncaused Cause. Russell made another criticism when he suggested that one cannot go from saying that every event has a cause thus the whole universe has a cause, it is like moving from saying that every human being has a mother to the claim that the human race as a whole has a mother. One cannot move from individual causes to the totality (whole, everything) has a cause.
Others are creative to some degree, but they do not have the academic capacity to connect that with their inventiveness. Commonly, it is assumed that a genius has an exceptional and original way of approaching situations in the world, reinventing ideas and potentially creating something so massive that it revolutionizes the way others think. Could that be true? All throughout time there have been geniuses leaving their mark on society. There have been religious geniuses that have shaped the major religions as we know them today.
The form of monotheism, which is traditionally mostly common in the West, is the belief in a personal god that emphasizes that this god is a conscious mind that is immanent in nature, humanity, and the values, which it has created. This is unfortunate, because it fails to acknowledge the existence of great
Some of the persecuted who managed to survive found their faith in God strengthened and believed that their survival was solely due to his actions, whereas others felt almost guilty for their survival and claimed that their faith had been destroyed along with the lives of their families and friends. The Holocaust has been used to claim that God’s existence is an impossibility or that even if God does exist, Jews should abandon the concept of such a being. This view has radically changed Jewish theology and has presented a number of challenges to those who still have
Religious books and preachers always claim to be based on the word of God, and sometimes testify to God's action or instructions to commit despicable behavior. That can never be true. Further, they claim man was created in God's own image even though no one has ever seen God. That cannot be true either. Obviously, man has created God in his own image to produce organized religion for his own ends.
