“The biblical concept of miracles leads to belief in a God who cares more for some more than others” In the bible‚ God is portrayed as a divine being who is very much involved in creation and acts as a part of it. This is shown through the works in Joshua 10‚ where God defeats 5 kings in favour of Joshua and the rest of the chosen people. He does so by using his omnipotence over nature to cast hail stones upon them. When scriptures were originally written‚ people had no real idea of the natural

Although this sentiment of asking God for forgiveness on an unknown fault is known to Bradstreet‚ she embraces this action as necessary in her relationship with God. She

The Doctrine of God What I learned about the Doctrine of God is God’s existence‚ first of all. God existence is definitely taken for granted in the Bible. The writers of the Old and New Testament knew God existed so they thought it pointless to put it in there. Jacobi said‚ “A God capable of proof is no God at all.” So if God had to prove He existed‚ then that would take all of the power out of God Being God. So‚ in the Bible God existing is an understood matter. The arguments for the existence
