There is vast meaning of God, as per Christianity world view. God is more than any human being. So it is virtually impossible to describe God or define God. All of us know something related to God, but each of us is depended on God himself to reveal existence of God. God is doing that through his son Jesus and the Bible. According to the book of Psalm “Our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath please. Their idols are silver and gold, work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they …show more content…

In order to explain who God is would be impossible because of his infinite spirit. How can someone with limits and boundaries be able to truly describe the one who is infinite? There is no way we can make a statement that can explain who God is. By making a statement confine God and then he would no longer be God because we have set a limit on who he is and what he can do. It is important to know God in your daily life. The way we can know who is God is by studying his words and reading the bible daily. If we want to be close to God we must have a personal relationship with him. That way we can learn more about him. God is the leader and monarch over everyone and this allows him to do what he does best; and that is to rule over everything. God is love. God shows us love with action. God will be by our side no matter what path of life we go through. When we are alone and has no one to turn to God is always there. The book of Psalm states “He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them by their name. Great is our Lord; and of great power; his understanding is infinite."(Psalm 147:4-5 …show more content…

In order to achieve that salvation you must have equal parts of faith and grace. Sinners should place all their faith upon the salvation of Christ and they should also confess that they are sinners and not worthy of entering heaven. They need Jesus Christ to help them out. Praying, doing good deeds, or going to church will guarantee your salvation with God. “You can only receive salvation when God grants it to you through his grace alone, but not by what you have personally done”. (Rescue, Redemption and Renewal). When Christian becomes baptized they grow spiritually with God. The only way that the people can change is through the saving grace of God. We must teach others about God and his word and help them to learn that he is always there for them. Christians have to show the way for the non-believers so that they can have eternal

In life many people come across the question if God exist. Life in Mars’ author Tracy K. Smith may have asked the same question in her book. Her collection of poems makes references to this question. God is the one creator of everything that we have in this world today, yet, God has only showed and told us what he wants us to know about him. God is ever living within us all.

According to Tillich, we are using a symbol that points more than itself to something absolute and utmost when we use the term “God.” The symbol of God cannot represent the true nature or divine reality because the symbol of God can never fully capture it, but it can point us to the meaning of the ultimate depth of reality. Since God is genuinely ultimate according to Tillich, the symbol “God” represents an

The definition of God is the greatest being. A thought of something that exists is greater than a thought of something that does not exist. That means if God is just a thought that does not exist, there must be a being greater than Him. This would contradict the definition of God. Therefore, God must exist so that the definition would be true.

Authority figures play many different roles in our lives, and far from all can be trusted. In the story Flowers For Algernon for example : the ‘scientists’ that Charlie trusts to cure his lack of cognitive ability, they know full well this will not end well for Charlie, and they treat him as more of an experiment rather than a human. Algernon, the original experiment in the story shows the repercussions of the experiment before as he was the first initially tested on, eventually passing from the regression. This being hidden as best as can from Charlie as the scientists want to continue on the experiment, despite the severe consequences that Charlie will have to live through. Of course we need some authority in society to run our lives

God is the same way, he cannot be seen but we see his works each day that we live by way of the sky, the grass and trees, rivers and valleys all these things were created by God. God exists; the teleological approach to the question does God exist? Proves that we can see the proof of God’s existence in his creation of the multi-faceted, complex world

It would be important to understand that one cannot separate God’s essence from existence. For example; think about the concept of a triangle. What makes a triangle a triangle? It has three sides, each adding up to 180 degrees that meet. If the triangle lacked these attributes then it would not be a

The "limited" and "broken" English Amy Tan 's mother speaks is similar to the one my parents are most familiar with. Tan’s childhood experiences resemble my personal experiences in which, I would assist my parents in situations alike. Tan found herself speaking on the phone pretending to be her own mother; keeping her mother from going through embarrassment and bad customer service. Similarly, when my parents found themselves conversing with a representative from customer service, I would translate and attempt to clarify any miscommunications that could potentially lead to misunderstandings and/or incidents. Unfortunately, because I was too young and naive towards the language, I wasn 't much help.

God can exist without existence, God is everything but God is nothing, God is the highest parameter of something and also God has no parameters. We don’t have control on God and also we don’t have evidence in favour and in unfavoured of god we can only do that we can assume God or don’t. Everyone has his/her own definition of God. Did we analyse whole universe if so then did we understand outside the universe? If not then how we can say God physically not

St. Thomas Aquinas describes it perfectly; he says that we do not use the same type of language that we do when we talk with each other as when we have our talks about God. As humans we are quite inconsistent with our language and how one word can mean one thing in one sentence but it could mean something completely different in another, so to say something about God it comes down to the speaker and what his meaning behind each word is and how it is important. It is not easy to understand what everyone means behind the words that people say about Him, but that does not mean that sometime in the future it will still be just as difficult, in fact it will probably be easier as we have had new theories on how to talk about Him arise, such as apophatic theology. The theory is that you can talk meaningfully about him by stating what he isn’t, which would make sense because by saying something that isn’t true about Him or isn’t a part of Him you make the world around you a lot simpler when it comes trying to describe him, because you no longer have to think about that thing that he isn’t making describing Him easier. These theories can be hard to wrap your head around but that does not mean that they are impossible to try and

Christianity explains salvation as redemption by God’s grace through faith from unrighteousness and sins to Cleanliness, also known as Salvation. The Bible explores salvation in different perspectives including reconciliation, redemption, ransom, forgiveness, and justification. Even though the Bible is a unitary book, the new and the old testaments present salvation in different aspects. However, the different aspects are complementary. In fact, the Old Testament presents many prophesies about salvation that was fulfilled in the New Testament (Kärkkäinen 87).

That is right but here we are only imagining two situation one is just idea of God and another is idea plus reality. But how can we assume that God exists in reality even we don’t know about God’s existence. It seems just a logic which is self-contradictory. We can also apply this logic to other things, maybe this logic will not work. Let’s imagine that electricity is not available in a room, so fan, which is hanging there, is not working.
