The Bible is the most important book in all of history. It is written by God and filled with true stories. It covers the entire history of the world, from creation to the end of time. A Christian’s life should be based on the Bible’s teachings and how it says life should be lived. In Matthew 5:8, Jesus taught, “Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.”(NKJV). Not all people see the Bible as it is, but as just another religious rule book that Christians have to follow. People doubt the

The omnipotent God and evil Mackie in his article criticized the current theological doctrine. I only disagree with one of his perspective.

THEO 104 – D38 Laura DeMoor July 9, 2016 Experience With Theology Essay For me, the word theology means the study of God, or the study of why God does certain things.

transformation of Persian religion from its Indo-European roots to Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrianism is a religion that is greatly debated on when, where, and how it came into existence.

Image of God. The second topic that I feel exceedingly passionate about is Heart. Part One Theological Definition The Image of God is classified as something that is a physical illustration. We are all created in God’s image. When I read this in the book I felt very strongly about it, “the image is something in the very nature of humans, in the way they were made. It refers to something a human is rather than something a human has or does. By virtue of being human, one is in the image of God; it is
