believe that God is panentheism. God is not in everything and everybody. God came to earth in a form of a man named Jesus. He lived on this earth, died and went to heaven. I do not believe in Deism, God created the world and cares for us. Jesus promised us he would not leave us alone. John 16:7 says Jesus would send a comforter, the Holy Spirit. I believe that God is immanent (Solomon & Higgins, 2014, p. 75). The Holy Spirit comes and lives inside the born again person. I believe in one God, monotheism

The following Sunday I was baptized and became a member of the church and continued to attend

When I was young, I attend church with my neighbors and friends. When I became a teenager, my parents made me go to church. I loved church so I did not have a problem going, but I did not know the reason for attending church. I did not have a personal relationship with Jesus. After I became a young adult, I started partying and I did not want to go to church. I worked five days a week and party every Saturday. I continued that pattern for a long time. I would hang out with my friends late at night

“The Most Dangerous Game,” a short story by Richard Connell, dives into the discussion over whether animals have feelings, and if it is fine for them to be hunted for a human’s own entertainment. The main protagonist, Sanger Rainsford, an American author and hunter, and the antagonist, General Zaroff, a hunter as-well, have similar views in the concept of dominance and killing animals for their own pleasure. Throughout the events of the story, both characters, ironically, switch between being the

I think I figured out why you wrote, “pretending to be a literary critic.” And I can’t tell if I’m mad or glad about it. Let me explain: I told myself to take a break from this project and also _City of God_ because that book is an in-your-face kind of text. It’s incredible, but damn overwhelming. I wanted to read a light short story… I’ve gotten to the point where I literally see this unreliable narrator plus humor plus nostalgia plus schizophrenia in just about everything. I chose something by

regret what I said to Marie, of course not, but... but I should've considered the nasty position I must've put you in. The minor gods will be talking for weeks, and..." Percy found himself flustered and trembling. "Fuck, who am I kidding? They'll be talking for centuries." He would've continued on, if not

There is a myth that one million years ago, an unknown Greek god who possessed a formidable power, existed in the deep, dark bottom of a lake. This lake happened to be at a nature reserve that my family frequently visited. We participated in many recreational activities including canoeing, swimming, and kayaking. I looked forward to it every year until a gruesome incident happened and I never went to the nature reserve again, all because of a girl named Francis, the girl who heard the knock. It

up hope even after being put in a tough situation. Joseph did all his work, and still prayed to god, and was blessed enough to not live a life that the average slave did. Joseph had a family, a home, and was able to support his family through hard work. Joseph trusted God’s power and knew there was a purpose behind God’s actions. Joseph was able to prosper and even forgave his brothers for their harsh

Selflessness, Genuineness, and Integrity are several traits that best describe who I am. Selflessness is caring about the happiness, health, and success of others; it often involves taking action to serve those around you. My experiences with young children in my church has developed me into becoming a selfless person. I feel a sense of meaning and significance whenever I volunteer to serve those in my church. One time, I was helping out in a Sunday School class; there was a frightened little girl

Team building can be defined as a group process intervention designed to improve interpersonal relations and social interactions, and has evolved to include the achievement of results, meeting of goals, and the accomplishment of tasks (Dyer, 2007). It was suggested that The Tuckman’s Model could explain the theory of team building (Rahim, 2000). It recognizes that a team does not start off fully-formed and functioning, and shows that team grows through clearly defined stages. The stages are forming

There are many things one can do to show their faith in God. These can include attending church, worshiping Sabbath, following the commandments or just by following God or Jesus. Many worship God in hopes of being saved when the end of time comes. To me, though I am not SDA and do not worship the Sabbath as SDA’s do, I do still believe Sabbath is a powerful symbol of loyalty to God. While doing research and talking to some SDA people I have come up with various reasons of why I believe Sabbath is

questions in Christianity, but this essay will focus on the first three. The starting points of our worldview are about who God is, what the universe is like, and who man is. The first question we may ask is: What is the nature of God? It can be difficult for us to see that God is both infinite and personal. He is all knowing and powerful, yet still able to communicate with His creation. God has always been, and will always be. He transcends the earthly plane of existence and exists beyond time. The laws

In the prologue of the Epic of Gilgamesh, it is noted, that Gilgamesh had the superhuman strength of beauty, this is due to the fact that the Gods gave Gilgamesh a perfect body, courage, and the Gods even

Abrahamic religions, viewed their gods as primal beings, possessive of many human traits, such as cunning, wiliness, and, as such, they tended to act in a manner that reflected this, offering up physical gifts to the gods, rather than requesting help through abstract rituals. However, the Abrahamic religions changed much of this, with the concept of god changing to being a more spiritual deity; an abstract entity, rather than a physical being. In Christianity, the concept of God has changed over time, branching

Similarly, Hinduism acknowledges a pantheon of gods and goddesses who serve as manifestations of different aspects of the divine, allowing devotees to establish a personal connection and seek guidance or blessings from the divine. Despite their shared similarities, Yoruba Indigenous Religion and Hinduism differ in their understanding of the nature of the divine.

This instruction necessitates that the believer considers biblical principles in every business decision. To what extent do your personal religious (or non-religious)

Cultural and personal identity are shown through personal experiences. Going through different things makes up who a person is. Marjane Satrapi wrote about experiencing both the good and the bad in her graphic novel, Persepolis.

In Persepolis, Marji is passionate to stand up for her culture. She wanted to

Pharaoh in Egypt wrote a story that reflects on his rebellion, personal life, and how he ruled Egypt especially in The Great Hymn to the Aten.
