The Relationship of God and Humans God thinks within geniuses‚ dreams within poets‚ and sleeps within the rest of us~ ACU poet. God in general has a unique way of manipulating things especially when it comes to human beings. Throughout this paper my plan is to persuade you that the relationship between God and human beings in Genesis was a relationship of‚ trust‚ jealousy‚ and loyalty. Loyalty is a virtue with God because of the Adam and Eve story. “And the lord god commanded the man‚ you may

Disproving the Christian God According to a UN statistical report‚ God let more than a quarter of a million people get raped in the past year. People should stop believing in the bible‚ and god and Jesus as presented in the gospels because it is inaccurate and opposes logic and reasoning. Arguments will come that while it is true that God is infallible‚ and the Bible is the true word of God‚ the Bible was in fact written by man‚ who can commit errors. The Bible states that God’s word is unchanging

In “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”’ Jonathan Edwards uses appeal to fear to help his audience experience the consequences of sinful behavior. One such image is when Jonathan says “ a wide and bottomless pit‚ full of the fire of wrath‚ that you are held over in the hand of that God…..nothing you can do‚ to induce God to spare you one moment…”.

All women knew how to do was to be a homemaker. Women did not have a problem with staying home cooking‚ cleaning‚ ironing‚ and taking care of the children. Women
