Recommended: Reflection on different religions

Everyone has different beliefs no matter what religion. They can have the same religion and have different beliefs in their worldview. Some people are not as religious as others even if they follow the same religion. I am going to explain my beliefs by looking at God, creation, faith, purpose, and life. God is our loving Father who is looking over us. He is caring and created this world for a reason. We would not be here today if it weren’t for God. God is good and gives us what we deserve. It is important that we live a good life and God will treat us with care. “And He’s good all the time—not just once in a while or when things go your way” (Meyer, n.d.). This demonstrates that God will always be good at all times. God created us and gave us the freedom to make our own choices. Even to choose if we follow or reject his leadings. He trusts that we will do the right thing. Human beings are the people of this world. We are a part of God’s creation. He put us on this world and gave us life. God created us Human beings so we can be a part of this world, and we can have purpose in life. We were put in this world to be able to make choices and live how we want, while also living a moral life. After we die we either go to Heaven or Hell based on how we lived our lives. “Good people go to heaven as a deserved reward for a virtuous life ...” (Talbott, 2013). If one lived a good life and believed in God, then one can go to Heaven. If one lived a bad life by doing unforgettable things and doesn’t ask for God’s forgiveness, then one will go to Hell. God is good so he will not punish everyone who is bad, but hey will have to make good again in God’s eyes by strengthening there faith. This universe was created by God. It was part of his creati... ... middle of paper ... ... worldview, just simpler beliefs. This course has increased my knowledge about certain beliefs that I already had. References Blank, W.

  • God of Jealous Grace

    964 Words  | 2 Pages

    After creating a pure and perfect world which he declared “good,” God experienced His first disappointment in humans. When He placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and instructed them not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, Adam and Eve made the decision to disobey God and eat from it. According to the Old Testament, this decision gave Adam and Eve’s descendants (all humans) their sinful human nature, which as a result separated those who did not repent from God’s grace. Eventually the world was full of wickedness and a new side of YHWH came out. The God of unconditional love who is often thought of tended to be a God ...

    This is better explained when one understands God’s character. God has an insatiable desire to know His creation, the human being. Much like a parent yearns to interact with their developing child, so God enjoys continual interaction with humankind. The child images the parent in a way like humankind images God. To image God, is to be like but not the same. But, much like there is an emotional and spiritual disparity between the child and parent, there is also a disparity between God and humankind. Much like a parent provides protection and direction to their children, so does God to His creation. However, one understands that a ...

  • Religion in Things Fall Apart

    1078 Words  | 3 Pages

    For many people, religion is a very touchy subject. For most, it is a personal decision; people choose a faith that aligns with their beliefs, ideas, and faiths. Although people would like to think that religion is a personal decision, and they can adapt it to how they feel and what they believe, in practice, that is not the case. Religion represents a commitment to a set of principles that are not moldable, adaptable, or flexible. Religion, although it may be a personal belief, it is extremely defined, with little to no room for flexibility. If people try to modify their religion to their own beliefs or ideas, the pushback can be severe. The lines in religion and faith as to what is acceptable and what is not acceptable are clear, and crossing them can bring serious consequences.

    This is a hard question. How can one come to grips with what the Bible seems to teach and with the desire in our hearts? Does not the Bible teach that Jesus is a loving God that wants all to go to heaven? How can a loving God send anyone to hell? If Christ indeed sends some to hell how can we say He is loving? These are all great question and ones that are hard to answer but there is an answer. God does everything He does, for a reason (Romans 8:28), and God does want all to come to Him (John 1:12; Romans 3:10).

    For all people religion provides something different. To some, living by way of religious practices is the only way they see fit to live. Religion is an explanation that comforts them. Other people find religion as a paralyzing element in the world, which holds back the cognitive development of people and the development of society. There are no certainties, except that there are no right or wrong views in terms of religious opinions, because every person has his or her own opinion.

It turned out that I had a mainly Christian Worldview but had never put it in the terms defined by Cosgrove. The class did not change any ideas or beliefs that I hold, but actually challenged and strengthened them by making me critically think about every aspect of my worldview and presenting new ways to look at things. I loved being able to see how my worldview connected on so many levels with the overall Christian Worldview.

This course allowed me to understand more deeply why things happened for us to be living on the earth today and also how it happened or got us to this point. Faith is a very big part of my life and this just made it enhance more and stronger because I was able to understand certain concepts more than I did before and not just hearing what I have heard in church I actually know now why they did it and I am clearer to how it was done. Even though they are many different views and faiths that is why our world is diverse and it a good thing because if everyone only believed in one faith there would not be much difference and that would make us not as connected or interesting amongst one another.

    Do you want to learn who your God is? once my granny asked me. I knew that God existed, but I had no idea who he was. When I was a 5-years-old girl, my granny showed me the church. It was a hot summer day and we were walking near the Black Sea. We stopped in front of the huge church with golden domes. I was impressed by its greatness. We came in, and granny started to tell me stories about God’s existence on the Earth. I do remember how beautiful this church was. Everything was in gold decorations, icons and the light was breaking through the windows. That moment I felt God inside of me. Since then God is always with me. For me believing in God has positive effects on my life, such as: knowing he is always near,
