Knowing God How do babies know how to eat? It is by pure instinct alone that we learn how to eat; it comes naturally to us. We can almost say that eating comes through general revelation. One can call general revelation natural revelation‚ not because it comes naturally to us but because it takes place within the realm of nature. General revelation comes through natural means‚ observation of the physical universe‚ reasoning and human conscience. Christians have used this term to describe the knowledge

Identity Creation One should look at themselves through another’s eyes. Imagine what is thought of them‚ if the other finds good characteristics inside. Everybody wants to be defined as having a good identity‚ but it is up to the person to make that happen. Identity is as important as religion because in order to share their testimony to save another‚ it starts with their identity‚ which should be in the Lord. Part of one’s identity is their desires.

I chose to do my research topic on the two creation stories in the Bible. I chose this because I find it interesting to learn more about how similar they actually are and what people think of it.

Elie has been a follower of God ever since he was brought into this world‚ and truthfully I cannot imagine him ever giving up hope in his God. I would have to say probably the only thing in the world that could have ever managed to make Elie even doubt his God one bit would be the holocaust. It would be understandable because throught the entire novel he is faced with many ’obsticles’ that would have easily made anyone turn their backs on God.
