THE BIRTH OF A NEW MAN: THE HOLY SPIRIT AND MAN
The world is looking for answers; the people of the world are like a mighty lion in the midst of sheep. People are trying to find who they are, have questions on why they are on earth, what is their purpose, why in this country, why part of a certain race? And with no answer, people choose to live base on the chemistry that comes to them; they live by their own rules or by the set rules. Today men have developed systems and structures in dealing with the realities of life. Over the centuries governments have tried to present systems and theories to make the earth a better place yet it all brought man to a place worse than it was before. Wars keeps on increasing, guns are available in sale shops and even with the great system of security in developed nations still we see increase in crime in the developed countries than the developing countries. The world is in a technological age of doing things easily, the skill of man in doing surgeries and a whole new research to solve all the issues of man, yet man seems not getting any better. Is a pity to see man1 once again doing the same things that happened in the book of Genesis (11). Men in our time is trying to build a city without God, and not only that but proving that God doesn’t exist. Man is functioning differently from the way its Creator manufactured them to operate in. Science is now a battle and a challenge for man’s own existence, the solutions that man provides to cure is the same that is killing us today. Man in our age lives as if they have no Creator.
There is so much influence in this world with entertainment, riches and lies (American dream). The worldly stars including musicians and artists are now the role model of our time. This places a question of who a man is, and how to live as a human being on earth. Man in our age seems to be forgetting that there is God; it seems God was just a “First Cause”2 . We have a bible scholars who challenges the

    Since the beginning of mankind, man has sought some form of a higher entity and a basis for humanity. Since the beginning, it has always been important to find a greater purpose for human life--to discover life’s meaning. Naturally, due to cultural differences, incongruities arose in man’s interpretation of how best to live and how best to be faithful, and eventually man focused more on those differences rather than the similar theme that was emphasized in each of the Holy Books: to love our neighbors and to love God, or whatever higher entity we chose to worship (Interview). As time progressed, these differences in opinion began to become forms of identification, and man began to use faith and religion to distinguish themselves from one another.…

    Throughout human history, man has found himself fascinated with the Gods and the mysticism that surrounds them. The idea of praying to a higher power has always appealed to the ethos of mankind, as a way of comfort. Divine intervention has led to the construction of grand temples, churches, and mosques while, the rest of the people lived in shacks battling destitute poverty. Religion has ignored many problems of the human condition in favor of the fantasy of revelation and salvation. It has led to vicious wars, disenfranchisement of entire groups of people all because of the sweet promise of salvation. In John D. Caputo's essay, Caputo highlights the divisive nature of religion and how the promises of revelation and salvation result ultimately lead to further perpetuate the lies and violence that religion has brought…

    Humans are now in the likeness (shape and form) of God. As the text states, “but we are to be made in the image (or character) of God” (Leap, 2005). Thinking they know more than their creator, the combination of higher education and science have exercised their academic freedom to acknowledge creation, but without its true Creator. Together, they have engaged in the activity of knowledge production with the total rejection of any possibility of the miraculous, the supernatural, the existence of the Living God, or anything outside the realm of the natural. Instead, science and higher education contemptuously and arrogantly include the world evolution as to how humanity has descended through…

    In White’s article it details the creation story passed from Judaism to Christianity, notably that God created man to rule over all of nature, and although man is made from clay he is made in God’s image which sets him apart from the rest of nature. This belief clearly creates a divide between man and nature, and facilitates an attitude of superiority towards the rest of creation. Through science and technology, man…

    Biblical World View

    • 5 Pages

    As I look around and notice all the trees, the flowers, beaches, oceans, watch a sunset or the rising of a full moon, all the things nature has to offer, I must agree with God that it is good. In fact, as I look around me the explanation given in Genesis chapter one is the only one that makes sense. The Holy Spirit within me confirms this explanation. The author says that God made man in His own image. That means I am somewhat intelligent and a big bang theory or theory of evolution insults the intelligence that God has ingrained in me as a part of Himself. God has given us so much of Himself and we have allowed the enemy(satin) to deceive us to the point we are lost even with the specific instruction manual that God has given us.…
