Turtle reminds all the beings in the world that God on a level that is so deep that they cannot comprehend connects them. When humans come into existence and begin to cause destruction, the entire earth reasons with the people and shows them how God is everywhere and is everything. If it weren’t for Old Turtle who first reasoned with the earth before humans, the earth wouldn't have reasoned with the humans. This would have lead to the humans destroying the world. The only way to survive and achieve peace is to love and treat all with appreciation and respect.
Christians believe that God created the world and all that is in it. It is believed that humanity is created in the image of God, and that God gave people free will therefore there is good and evil in the world. The Ten Commandments are guidelines received by Moses from God on how adherents can lead good lives. They should not be avoided in fear of punishment, but embraced as a way to be saved from The Fall, where humans make sinful choices. Adherents believe meaning can be found in their response to evil and suffering.
The Sermon on the Mount is one hundred percent anti retaliation. If someone even does anything evil to you, you’re supposed to turn the other cheek, forgive, and pray for the ones who did you wrong. As a people we have a hard time following this simple rule because we don’t want to let people walk all over us, but apparently that’s the ideal way to live one’s life. The main reasons for this rule of living a moral life is that everyone, righteous or evil, are children of the all mighty God above. “That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” (Matthews 676).
We were put here to take care of all things created by God. Both Christians and Muslims were given a woman to be fruitful and multiply keeping Gods creation of man on earth. Both religions teach it is better to help others then to always seek rewards for self. God will bless those who put others before themselves. Christians and Muslims believe all humans are born sinless, but human weakness leads to sin.
Montgomery’s essay Island Of Plenty uses the biblical reference of the Garden of Eden as a contrast to the current world. He also uses a great deal of logic to feed off the common fears of the common person, which develops his arguments about how the U.S. should not share resources with the countries in need. The Garden of Eden, a beautiful self-sustaining world with no fear and no pollution just a utopia printed and fantasized about in the early testament. Montgomery strengthens his argument about the problems of over population by using the biblical garden as a use of imagery. After his harsh opening paragraph on how the world should let those who starve die, he brings up the image of Eden and how perfect it was before man took control
Scripture is the grid through which believers view existence, truth, sin, salvation, ethics, and evil. This biblical worldview is based on God’s truth and the humanity and the purpose of God in our lives. The Natural World We see the natural world as being created by God and through his words. God has always shown who he was through the creation of himself and mankind. God was one that spoke into existence on everything he foreseen present or future.
Richard Mount APA THEO 201-B33 LUO In spite of what man has done to God’s creation, He has not abandoned it. He continually preserves it and sustains it through His grace and providence. Men are still made in His image and mankind is still Gods greatest creation. Chapter I in Genesis tells us how God created the heavens and the earth. He loves that creation and still holds it all together.
God promised that Abraham will be the father of great nations and an everlasting covenant will establish with his descendant and Kings will come from him. For this very reason the Lord changed Abram’s name to Abraham which means father of many. The Mission was also considered outside Abraham’s offspring to include all human beings. God’s plan was not only to separate Abram from his family and blesses him lonely; but he wants Abraham to be a worldwide blessing through his descendants and his faith. The purpose God’s mission, therefore, was to start a plan by which to share his blessing with whole the world as an alternative of dealing every single nation individually.
Mellie Lammon Timaeus 1. Why was the world created—what purpose does it serve? “Let us therefore state the reason why the framer of this universe of change framed it all. He was good…being therefore without envy he wished all things to be as like himself as possible.” God created the world because he had no envy and he wanted everything to be like himself. Since the world is supposed to be like God, it should be good and perfect.
And people have to live within the rules, laws, and statutes of God. God's law is the law of love. So the man in all the realities of life must see everything that intersect in their lives from the paradigm of God.
