ethical conception of God is attained, and this not philosophically but
historically; while its view of the moral life is certain of justification not
only by reason but by history.” Thus God is looked at as an ethical
personality and is looked to as an example of good and right. In the Old
Testament, God's voluntary (voluntary for God) covenant with man must be looked
at as the prime example of ethical value. The covenant's requirements is the
source of all ethics, morals, laws, and justice in the Old Testament.

Thesis: Is There A God Or Is He(?) An Illusion?
Words: 268 / Pages: 1 .... somehow "ensouled". Such indefinite
notions are transformed into a distinct conception of a higher order than human
beings, and yet somehow resembling them. As it may seem, humans have a
metaphysical (speculative) need for a Supreme Being. God, as we call him. He
is the eternal and infinite Spirit, Creator of the Universe, and the ultimate
power. We present him with human characteristics in all concepts of God, which
has led me to believe that it is not God who created man in His image, but man
who creates God in his.
Religion is one such need based on myth and spiritualism. People are taught
about their religion at a young age, and when they gr .....

were still up and running. But it's better than nothing, I guess.
His business has been through a lot of hardships over the last 16 years.
Another difficulty was the building of the Blue Route near his business. The
construction blocked almost everyone from entering the building. I don't know
if you could blame God for that sort of problem or maybe it was just fate. But
with these dilemmas and problems, he didn't question why God allowed these
things to happen. He looked insstead to the way he benefited from the
experiences.

Who Is Jesus Christ
Words: 368 / Pages: 2 .... a rationalism, there is little room for Christianity in the traditional sense. For example, Locke had exhibited a desire to empty Christianity of that which reason cannot account for, the miraculous and the supernatural, and to build a religion within the limits of reason alone. But it was with the German Enlightenment that the seeds of the biblical revolution were being sown. Under the influence of Deism, radical criticism of the fundamental beliefs of Christianity as enshrined in the gospel story of Jesus formed.
Many theories arose pertaining to the belief of Jesus. Apparently, the first scholar to question whether Jesus actually existed was .....

Kadelphianism
Words: 1058 / Pages: 4 .... in the retention of these commitments
involves a belief and faith in a given religion. This religion yields a basis
for all decisions that must be made in adolescent life; it forms the moral and
ethical skeleton of an individual, and affects all choices that are made and all
actions that are taken. The students here at Texas Christian University are
faced with difficult choices each and every day, and are in dire need of a
source of higher direction. It is my opinion that a belief in the religion
known as “Kadelphianism” serves as a firm basis for self commitment, peer
commitment, and social commitment, and provides an excellent example of .....

Popes
Words: 4033 / Pages: 15 .... finances. Although he
engaged in the practices of simony and the selling of indulgences, his most
noted mistake was raising donations for a Crusade that never took place. In
1486 Innocent announced a crusade, as well as at the same time declaring a tithe
on all churches, benefices and ecclesiastical persons of all ranks. Military
plans were drawn up but, in the end, no great army ever assembled or departed
from Europe's shores. Instead, in a twist of irony, the Vatican wound up hosting
an infidel in the form of Prince Djem, the sultan's brother. This arrangement
confused the general public and the papal status fell in the eyes of the public.

Religion
Words: 410 / Pages: 2 .... To better illustrate this point let's look at just three of the
countless examples that human history has to offer. The Inquisition, "judicial
institution, established by the papacy in the Middle Ages, charged with seeking
out, trying, and sentencing people guilty of heresy."2 Heretics were
considered enemies of the state. The penalty for heresy was torture and death.
The crucifixion of Jesus Christ, "Jesus was taken to Golgotha and nailed to a
cross, the Roman punishment for political offenders and criminals."2 The
Crusades, "The name Crusade (from Latin, "Cross") was also applied, to the wars
against pagan peoples, Christian hereti .....

An Essay For Humanities Courses: The Bible
Words: 1423 / Pages: 6 .... Eye of a Needle). It is doubtful that
these things happened at the same time; however, they are GREY in The Five
Gospels anyway ... and probably didn't happen as Mark describes. This brings us
to Mark's writing style.
Mark seems to "tack-on" sentences to Jesus' teachings to make them more
"Christian." This really changes the meaning more than any other tactic! Who
knows what Mark may have edited-out to accomplish what he wanted to impress upon
his readers? In this, he tries to interpret the meaning of Jesus' actions ...
and does this in a misleading way! For example: Mark 2:19, Jesus regarding
Fasting. Jesus makes a strong statement aga .....
