God On Trial Christian Worldview Integration Dr. Carl B. Smith II Its impossible to reflect on the origins of evil without bringing up the concept of free will. God created man with this idea of choice; the choice to believe and obey‚ or the choice to disobey.

The difference in “The odyssey” and “Iliad” is the level of interference of the gods. In the novel “Iliad”‚ the gods were more actively involved in the affairs of mortals than they were in the Odyssey.

2010 Dr. G. M. Manzano‚ Jr. INTIMACY WITH GOD The author hinted that people quit on their quiet time because their devotions are not devotional enough. I realized that the author may have hit on something that many Christians may be guilty of but are not even aware of it.
