The Rival Concepts of God Those who believe that there is a God, have different concepts of who he is, and what he is like. When it comes to his views on right or wrong, beliefs basically can fall into one of two camps. (Lewis, 1952) explores these two views. One view is what is called “pantheism” a view that God “is beyond good and evil”, and its focus is that right or wrong behavior is not determined by what injustice is done to human beings, but what may be done to any created thing, or…

Definition of God God is a Spirit (John 4:24), infinite (Job 11:7; 1 Kings 8:27), eternal (Ps. 90:2; 1 Tim. 1:17), and unchangeable (James 1:17; Mal. 3:6) in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth. The Immanence of God The immanence of God connotes an indwelling of God within the world and its processes (Jer. 23:23-24; Acts 17:27-29; Heb. 1:3; Matt. 10:29). Every event is of supernatural causation in some sense. However, God is over the universe and in the universe,…

Why God not gods? The great prophets of the Old Testament are particular lucid and ironical in exposing the intrinsic illogicality of idolatry. And everybody, reasonable or exaggerate from the Hebrew to the Greek Iconoclasts, and from the Moslem Caliphs to the English Roundheads , has always applied, rightly or wrongly, what I may call this a joke of the Old Testament; that mere idolatry is idiotic in itself. Why is idolatry wrong? Above all, why is idolatry funny? The Hebrew Prophet saw the…

When a person from the Indus civilization heard of the Mesopotamians' gods around 1200 BCE, they would have thought, "These are the great gods that they worship, but ours are better." They would have thought this because the Mesopotamian gods were more unpredictable than the Indus gods, as seen when Ea told Utnapishtim of the great flood: Man of Shuruppak, son of Ubar-Tutu, Tear down (this) house, build a ship! Give up possessions, seek thou life. Despise property and keep the soul alive…

For instance, even though many talk about the separation of church and state, the two go together for several reasons.…

These differences in these ultimate reality’s affect the relationship between men and women. In the…

the ancient Greeks worshiped as gods. He possessed many of those traits which were necessarily found in any one who was thought to be a god. He was born of the god Hera (some say Zeus as well), he possessed the immortality of a god, and he had god-like abilities to perform his craft. These facts, mainly that he was conceived of gods, cemented his status as a god, although many of the things he did stand in sharp contrast to what would traditionally be thought of as typical of a god. Hephaestus…
