understand more what justice entails. Social justice finds its beginning in God, who is both social and just. In Scripture God reveals himself as a social being, revealing himself in the Trinity as three Persons in one God. In Genesis 1:26 ‘God said “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.”’ Notice how he says ‘our’ image and
dominated by a malignant metaphysical “will to live” which causes our lives to consist only of suffering in the form of pain and boredom. In order to at least somewhat alleviate this endless strife of life, Schopenhauer proposed the adoption of an ascetic mindset. “Studies in Pessimism” is a selection of essays from Schopenhauer’s Parerga (Greek for “Appendices”), the first
perceived correctly as a result of contemplation (reflection) either by revelation and human contemplation results in a pure intellect. Ideology is usually the work of the philosopher or the people who are willing and able to use their minds to think about themselves and their environment or everything there. This is the claim of Islam. Man reached the fundamental religious truth the one God exists and that God is a creative sustaining and loving God, and human morality is a necessary corollary from
should arise from the nature of scripture. There are moments in consciousness termed immediacy, reflection, and praxis. Symbol’s task in consciousness is in different ways. Since scripture functions in these different ways, sermons also are plotted to work in human consciousness to shift congregational consciousness. Immediacy is to change the congregational consciousness with immediate force. Reflection is to produce a reflective field of meaning. Praxis is to move the congregation from the situation
be as the prophets intended, a great and glorious meeting between God and His people. Old Testament shows that, the Jewish year was interspersed by festivals, also known as the "Feasts of the Lord". Some were timed to coincide with the changing seasons, reminding the people of God’s constant provision for them and also allowing them to return by way of offering, a token of all that he had given them. Others celebrated some of the great events of Israel’s history, and the ways that God had intervened
I explicitly agree that the poetry of T.S Eliot is unquestionably dominated by thought-provoking reflections which are complemented by powerful imagery, leading the reader into the state of mind of Eliot himself. Initially, I abhorred Eliot’s poetry. His poetry, then, for me, represented a confusing and exceptionally difficult body of work and I found it similarly difficult to form any kind of genuine response to his poetry. In spite of this, over my past couple of readings, I have formed a muscular
also decided. Human being who have belief on God they believe on fate, which is unchangeable and should acceptable. "A man can surely do what he wills to do, but he cannot determine what we wills" Schopenhauer.(C.S Reddy The fate which is called by Greeks as Moira, is considered ruler of human destiny. It is their firm belief that it is most ferocious and frightening fact of the life that there is no escape from fate. It is so powerful that sometimes gods also were helpless against fate. Although they

A challenge to God’s authority as portrayed by Abraham, Jacob, and Moses is justified by its prevalence to the underlying effects each challenge possesses on the future of mankind, in other words God accepts these challenges through the realization that each will consequently change the future and carry out his goals. Abram was one of the many prophets in which God quarrels with in response to questioning God's righteousness. God chooses Abraham, reckons him

The authentic and most important report of salvation for sinners, through the Son of God, is disregarded. The low condition he submitted to, and his appearance in the world, were not agreeable to the ideas the Jews had formed of the Messiah. It was expected that he should come in pomp; instead of that, he grew up as a plant, silently, and
The American intellectuals,like Malamud, for instance, denounce collectivism. Furthermore, American Experience places the accent on the individual safeguarding his separate identity though he is of different racial origins. The American intellectuals who value American Experience recommend new conditions of life, which, they argue, ensures one’s identity. One enjoys the identity only if one can remain the same, notwithstanding the varying aspects and differing conditions of life. The title story
