He inspired his followers to write the bible. They also believe that God is in the form of Three Persons. It is called, “Trinity.” It basically means that God is a Spirit. God is supernaturally God.
Here are some ways they are alike and different. Here are the main gods they worshiped and what they were the god for. The Aztecs had many god that they worshiped but the main god was Huitzilopochtli. He was the main god because he was thought to be the the most powerful god and was god of war.
Pericles One thing that led to the Athenian Golden Age is Pericle's rise to power. Pericles was an Athenian leader, statesmen, and general(History.com Staff., 2009). I will attempt to explain how Pericles was essential for Athens Golden Age. Pericles lived from 495-429 BCE(Lewis, D. M., 2018,). He became the leader of the democratic party after the death of Ephialtes in 461.
The impact of Moses Maimonides in Jewish belief, thought and prayer stretches throughout the centuries as he is recognised as “the greatest Jewish philosopher” (The philosopher’s zone- Jewish philosophy: Maimonides ABC radio). This title was given to him after his works the Mishnah Torah, the Commentary on the Mishnah and the Guide for the Perplexed. Moses Maimonides, also known as Rambam or Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon, was born in Spain, Cordoba in 1135. At just age sixteen he wrote a paper on the correct usage of theological terms. As he grew older he advanced his knowledge and became the official doctor to the current ruler of his time, Saladin of Egypt.
What if you were to get stranded on a island? Would your personality change? Or would it stay the same? In the book Lord Of The Flies by William Golding, a group of British boys crash on an island, with no way out. They can be hopeful, but the situation is not looking good for them.
To me, this makes sense but there is still can be differences of opinion, what all gods despise is unholy, which would then make what the gods love be holy to them. The third definition differs from the second because problems in the second are that not all the gods are going to agree with what is dear to them and then in the third, you will be unable to know what all the gods love or what they hate. No this definition does not improve on the second because you are then still running into the same problem that you are unable to speak for the gods and decide what is either dear to them or what they can all agree is love. Although the third definition somewhat improves onto the second, it is still inadequate. This definition that Euthyphro gives still cannot be used in a argument because of the speculation or opinions that could all be formed.
These variations like a true God, and the divine were more focused on nature than a single being. At that time, they would characterize these beliefs as deism.
Athanasius defended the Trinity, which is one of the biggest beliefs and a core element in Christian faith. The Trinity is the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, all three united as one. During the fourth century, Arius went around teaching that Jesus the Son was different in divinity to God the Father. He points out many Scriptures proving that Jesus is saying that the Father and Son are clearly different, showing that they
However, we did also see that their identities differed-- the gods being more powerful than the mortals, of course. In any case, the indirect and direct interactions between the gods and the mortals in both epics
Beginning with the similarity between the two philosophers is easy. They both believe in the idea of luck. They believe that we as people, all have luck. The way they go about describing what luck is to them individually is where we see the difference in the two sides. Epictetus describes luck as being things that are not up to us.
It is surprising how many characteristics these completely unrelated gods had in common and how many they didn’t. Comparing them, their territory,
In all these religions, God is the supreme-being whose power is never questionable (Fisher 247). However, there are different views on the monotheistic God from each of these religions. For example, Zoroastrianism views God as the source of good and not evil at any single instance. On the contrary, Judaists and Christians see God as the source of both evil and good. Moreover, the recognition of God as monotheistic was founded on the revelation key prophets received in each faith.
Whereas, in Genesis God is referred to in third person and his actions, as commands. Stories and characters different, they might contain. The message did not change all that often throughout these texts. As Harrison in Creation of Universe notes, “we begin by turning to the creation myths that might offer insight into the views of earlier societies on the birth and death of the universe.” It is interesting to see scriptures written for different religions through different times contain such similarities in their theme.
Many with a modern, Christian worldview believe there is only one God and He created the world. The Mesopotamians, according to the Enuma Elish, believed in multiple gods and they seemingly were constantly fighting amongst themselves. Tiamat was the name given to chaos and it was through her defeat that the world was created. Later in the story, Marduk creates humans to essentially be servants to the gods.
There are also moral differences. Monotheistic people believe in absolute truth. They believe they were put on Earth for a specific purpose. They want to fulfill this purpose, and they will do anything to fulfill this purpose so that they can achieve eternal salvation. Polytheistic people, however, believe that they should have more freedom in how they worship.
