...Biblical World View Essay Introduction In the following essay on Biblical World View of, Business Administration, with the foundational Christian belief that man was created in the image of God. There will be two examples in this essay that will explain this view. In the first example, I will be going over leadership and how important it is as a Christian to remember your foundational belief that we are created in the image of God. The second example, I will be discussing the importance of honesty for Christians, since we are created in the image of God. “Immediately following each day of creation God saw that it was good, but after the creation of man, God saw that it was very good”. (Online excerpt, Original Creation of man in the image of god, 2013)Being created in the image of God does not just refer to physical appearance; it also refers to the total essence of God. Example 1 In this example, I will be going over leadership and the Christian foundation that we were created in the image of God. From the very beginning of our creation as humans, we were give leadership over all his creation. With leadership, in any aspect, you will possess tremendous responsibility, and power over others, and their lives. King David stated in Psalm 139 “Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous-How well we know it.” (Etzel and Gutierrez, Praxis Beyond Theory, 2012, p 61) AS Christians, one knows, without a doubt, that...

...10/1/2015 As we know, everyone has his or her own worldview. Take a peek into mine as I talk about human identity, natural world, human relationships, and civilization. After reading Genesis 1-11 we’ve seen how God has worked with those four major concepts, and how He has shaped our world today. In Genesis 3:11-12 (Then He asked, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” Then the man replied, “The woman You gave to be with me-she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”) Before eating from the tree neither Adam nor Eve knew that they were naked, nor did they care. From my worldview, this is when God put human identity into play. By man not obeying God, we suddenly felt insecure about having our bodies covered, causing Adam to hide when he heard God call for him. Even when they disobeyed God, he turned around and sewed clothes for them; I believe God created human identity to prove that even when we disobey God, He won’t turn his back on us and he’ll continue to provide for us even when we don’t deserve it. From reading the Theology of Work Project I became more familiar with the natural world and coming to realize that, “The book of Genesis is the foundation for the theology of work” says Theology of Work Project. What I mean by this is that before taking this class, yes I was a believer but I hadn’t read much into the Bible. From reading this commentary I now see the book of Genesis completely different. Before I...

...Human Nature Human nature is an intangible idea that no one seems to agree of that which it consists, yet many seem to agree that it does exist. Some philosophers will debate that human nature is inherently good while others will deem human nature as inherently evil. Others think that human nature is to seek the greatest good, happiness, or a moral life. So what makes us human? What separates us as a species yet unites us as well? When searching for universals of humans, many physiological aspects of life can be cited. Human mortality is a largely recognized aspect of being a human. However anything with life, whether it is a plant, animal, man or other, is mortal and has a beginning and an end. So while mortality is something that is found in all humans, it is not exclusively a human quality. We need nourishment to grow and live, but again, so do most other things that have life. We are physically similar, meaning that while there are differences among us, we are all the same species; just as any other species is similar to others in their own species. However, I would consider these qualities as nature, not just human nature. Human nature I believe is something that goes beyond our physiological side. Before I present my argument, I must first define human nature. According to the Oxford Dictionary, human nature is the general psychological characteristics, feelings, and behavioral traits of humankind, regarded as shared by all humans. In...

...broad one: Spirituality is recognized as a factor that contributes to health in many persons. The concept of spirituality is found in all cultures and societies. It is expressed in an individual’s search for ultimate meaning through participation in religion and/or belief in God, family, naturalism, rationalism, humanism, and the arts. All of these factors can influence how patients and health care professionals perceive health and illness and how they interact with one another Tom Knox, a researcher and writer and a one- time atheist and after doing extensive research on the medical benefits of faith, is now a regular worshipper.

...Introduction God is the source of much doubt and controversy, of peace and of war. At this point in our human existence what was once certain and unquestionable has become the most questioned topic. The faithful, believing people have become unsure. I guess the question is either God exists or He doesn't. There really is no middle territory, and any attempt to remain neutral in relation to God's existence is automatically putting you in the category of unbelief. The age old question is far from being an irrelevant one, because if God does exist, then nothing else really matters; if He does not exist, then what does really matter at all. Until now I've never been put in a position where my faith was questioned. I found this title somewhere, I cannot remember where I saw it, but it describes me the best it can; as a recovering Catholic, I really am in no man’s land. Do I believe or not believe, that is the stand I have to take in this paper one way or another, yes or no, black or white. At that point this became more than a final paper. Can I, comfortably write a paper stating that God does not exist? After thorough personal inflection, I had my answer, and with much of my upbringing weighing down on me. I will try making my case for the existence of God. ("God." Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary. 2009.

...they treat the stampitas like treasures, they put it in their hearts and sometimes kiss the stampita, and while I treat stampitas given to me like trash, everywhere you can find misplaced stampitas. I desire for a new and expensive phone while the poor desire for the Lord. Even if it is just a stampita of St. Joseph, they treasure it because the poor does not believe that an Iphone 6s can help them but only God can help them. All of us should desire like the poor. Not crying over worthless and really expensive things. Desire for God even if he is only a piece of paper with ink in it, desire for him because he will be the one to help you. Not seeing stampitas as mere pieces of papers but a passageway to praise the Lord. Dear Fr. Jimmy Marquez. Sorry for not passing my performance task about the insight from the visitation to Laperal because I was sick that that and I was absent and failed to pass it. I am also sorry because even though I am already late, I still failed to pass it earlier because I kept forgetting about the project. Next time I will pass my projects/requirements on time.

...to the U.S., I have always been wondering why people like to discriminate against others especially among different races. As I grew up, I have learned naturally that racism is not justified towards anyone because we are all created equal. The question I would like to pose for this research project is, “What does the Bible say about racism?” First, the Bible says, “So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them” (NLT Study Bible, Gen. 1:27). In the beginning of the Old Testament, Genesis says clearly that God created us in his own image. God created only male and female, but He did not create us impartially. When He created us, there was no black or white, Hispanic or Asian. Therefore, I think is not God’s will for us to discriminate against each other by the differences of our colors, cultures or where we are from. Secondly, in the Bible, God does not make distinctions based on physical or social attribution. When the prophet Samuel was sent by God to anoint the next king of Israel, Samuel was initially convinced that someone with an impressive, physical stature would be the Lord’s choice. Seeing about Samuel’s pick, God set him straight and told the prophet “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance,...

...University of Phoenix Unit 1 Project Professor Philip Gaethe REl/134 World Religions Traditions II By Mark Anthony Brennan 03/18/2012 There are many different ways that religion can alter or even encourage relationships when it comes to society. When you take a look at those relationships you have to look at the following: Relationship with the divine, Relationship with sacred time, Relationship with sacred space or the natural world and Relationship with each other. Each religious group or belief has feelings when it comes to their specific point of view or opinion. One important thing that must be considered however, when studying religion is the fact of what you can say or believe so that you do not offend another group or individual based on your ideas or beliefs. When a religious group or organization has its practice or beliefs we have to consider the following when it comes to relationship between its practices and beliefs with its divine. If you take a look the catholic traditions the relationship one has with its divine is a close and personal relationship. Prayer is a way of communication with the divine and they celebrate with praise through hymn. I know this relationship personally as I grew up in a catholic environment. Personally however, I became regular Christian where in my opinion the relationship I have my divine (God) is much more personal and you feel a sense of connection all throughout the day, where one does not need to pray to have that...

...The Rejuvenation Project from Different Views Within Ch. 6 of Genesis we see the clear distinction between the two J and P authors. In Genesis 6:6 we see the full anthropomorphic character of Yahweh who is sorrowful and regrets his creation of man. This is in full contrast to Gen 6:11 where there is no mention of anthropomorphism in relation to God. What sticks out most, in relation to the different images of Yahweh or God, is the reasons given as to why the earth is being destroyed. In the J source it states “…that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts were only evil continually” while in the P source it states in Gen 6:11 “[n]ow the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence”. The J source is concerned with the intent of the actions of man, what the root cause of the corruption is. The P source is concerned with...

...to “twist the sinews” of the tiger’s heart? The speaker wonders how, once that horrible heart “began to beat,” its creator would have had the courage to continue the job. Comparing the creator to a blacksmith, he ponders about the anvil and the furnace that the project would have required and the smith who could have wielded them. And when the job was done, the speaker wonders, how would the creator have felt? “Did he smile his work to see?” Could this possibly be the same being who made the lamb? The poem begins with the speaker asking a fearsome tiger what kind of divine being could have created it: “What immortal hand or eye/ Could frame they fearful symmetry?” Each subsequent stanza contains further questions, all of which refine this first one. From what part of the cosmos could the tiger’s fiery eyes have come, and who would have dared to handle that fire? What sort of physical presence, and what kind of dark craftsmanship, would have been required to “twist the sinews” of the tiger’s heart?

...teaches people that they should not bring harm to themselves or harm to others. They believe that meditation can bring you peace and help you center your feelings so that you can bring peace to others. Buddhism does not believe in material items they think that you should only use what is needed. The practice of Buddhism is not for those whom believe in a God that created all and should be preyed to for everything. What religion would you like to consider for your final project? Describe the place of worship you will visit. I would like to take the chance to interview someone on Buddhism. I have been looking for a place to interview and the one resource I have found to do so is an online forum for Buddhism. What do you already know about this topic? I do not know a lot about this religion, except for what I have learned in this weeks study. What are some sources you could use to gain more knowledge about this religion? The one source that I will be relying on the most will be the online library and the other online web sites dedicated to this religion. What type of materials do you expect to review for this project? I would like to review the way of life in this religion and how it has came from when it was first used, to now in our time. I would also like to ask if the culture has changed with the time. What difficulties do you anticipate in conducting an interview with someone of this faith? I do not believe that there will be any difficulties...
