Nonbelievers Persuasive Essay

2275 Words5 Pages

Are Christians not allowed to hang out with people who do not believe in God? God tells Christians we need to be leaders and to be disciples to all nations (Matthew 28:19). God tells us to be fishers of men. This means we cannot disregard anyone including the nonbelievers in this world. God uses anyone in our life to help us learn a lesson and learn new things. This means even unbelievers, not just believers. If Christians just hung out with Christians no one else would get saved. The nonbelievers would not be reached and God wants us to bring nonbelievers to Him. So Christians should hang out and talk to nonbelievers to help the Kingdom of God grow and be in all nations (Matthew 28:19). And being friends with non-believers, we are able to pray for them and actually get to know them and help them (James …show more content…

(Acts 26:18)(2 Timothy 2:24-26) Is man able to live a life without God? I believe that man cannot live without God. God created us and without Him creating us we would not be living. He also created us in the image of Him and without a God who are we designed after? Also, just because someone does not believe in God does not mean He is not there (Proverbs 15:3). God will always be there even when you do not know it, you can decide whether to believe in Him or not (Jeremiah 23:23-24). (Genesis 1:27) How did God create man? God has made every man and we are made in God’s image (Genesis 1:27). God created man by speaking Adam into existence. When speaking Adam into existence God told Adam and the rest of the human race to multiply, to subdue the earth, and to have dominion over everything (Genesis 1:28). Eve was created from Adam’s own rib and so she was created in God’s likeness as well (Genesis 2:22). Every human is created in the likeness of God. (Genesis 2:7. Can man escape always being with God? Man can never escape from God seeing us

    Although I read the Genesis2:4b-4:26 and Genesis 1:1-2:4a stories to try to understand why God create us, I still do not understand why, why god create us? Is it because he feel lonely? Or because he wants to have fun? Or “According to the Atrahasis story, the gods created human beings to do the work that the gods themselves refused to do (p.4)”. Why god use so much energy to create us and still need we to believe in him/her and give us pain and suffer, then he comes to save us or redemption? And also, how the Jahwist/Yahwist and the Priestly source knew what God said, and did they see God, like people saw Jesus? The story is God told them or they made it up to make people believe. “These two specific texts are mythic or symbolic narratives, not scientific theories (p.5)”. Krieg is right, not everything can use scientific to determine right and wrong or reason, especially the religion. But I do not think that is good answer for t...

    Humans can think, feel, and reason which differentiate them from the rest of God’s creation. The ability to reason enables human beings to think and reflect on their own nature and the nature of God. The bible teaches us that God created man in his image and likeness. In the beginning of creation human nature was perfect because we were created by God. Genesis 1:31 describes Human beings were created very good by a loving God”. God created humans to operate their lives according to wisdom under God’s kingly reign (Diffey, 2014). God’s purpose in creating mankind was to work and serve (Genesis 2:15), and have dominion over earth (Genesis 1:26-28) The fall of Adam and Eve separated humanity from God and wisdom. This act plunged all of humanity into a history characterized by idolatry (Diffey, 2014), and is the root cause of all human

Christians do feel there is a separation between believers and non believers. Though it is not in the way that he makes it seem. We do not feel more superior that non believers, we just want them to know the things we know. We don’t see them as anything different. There are people that are out there that will judge people this way, but as a christian we are taught that it is never our place to judge and we are also thought that “ ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these”

    I’ve met many people who say they’re Christians but don’t really exhibit the Christian attitude. They don’t try to have a loving or patient attitude or try to spread God’s word to others. There are some who also don’t go to church. Personally, I think some of these trends have reasons. Some of the “non-dedicated” Christians may still be learning how to properly communicate God’s word. Also, attending church is not required. Faith in God is what truly makes one a Christian. There may be some people who don’t have true faith in God, but, as I said before, we should force feed God onto them. If they truly desire God, then God will go to them.

    The First question is how the man was created and how did he fall into sin. In this particular case, the author provides the necessary background in which he gives a good understanding of the incarnation. However, from this question, the author argues that human beings have a dilemma which its consequences forced the word to assume form (Behr 2012). In my opinion, the Holy Bible clearly states that man was created in the image of God. During the creation process, all events were well planned, and they took place in an

Seneca talks about moderation in the sense less is more as far as friends go “Associating with people in large numbers is actually harmful: there is not one of them that will not make some vice or other attractive to us, or leave us carrying t...

    ...ed a part to him. First we see God as omnipotent then we see God asking where Adam and Eve are hiding (Not being omnipotent). With the creation of mankind God loses some part of his Godliness and he gains some humanity. God has a little human in himself and we have a little God in us. But the main point still is the same, God is the authority over man and will remain this way. I also feel that the God in the bible is truly no different than the Gods of Greece for example. The God of ancient Greece acted just like humans, the only difference was that they were immortal. The God of the bible seems to act just like humans, shows love, anger, regret, learns from mistakes and so forth. So in the end God shows flaws and learns from mistakes. God is like humans, maybe this is why we don?t understand God sometimes because we can?t understand other people and their actions.

    “The image of God in which humans were created is obscured and distorted by sin.” If this is true we then we are slaves to sin. In the Old Testament God delivered the Israelites from physical slavery in Egypt by Moses. In the New Testament God has made it possible for our deliverance from sin through Jesus, the second person of the trinity. Jesus is described as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. ( John 1:29 NIV) Hence, the freedom found in Christianity marks the start of a new freedom from sin’s bondage and for fellowship “with God and others. “God, led by his/her concern for our good and his/her desire for a relationship of mutual love and trust

  • A Perfect God

    289 Words  | 1 Pages

    Man is far from perfect, and is in fact the most imperfect being in Gods kingdom. Man is the only living creature capable of intentional sin, by this I mean no other creature on the earth is capable of committing acts and understanding that they are wrong, but rather they commit them as an act of instinct rather than reason like the sins of man. When man commits an act of evil ( in the majority of cases ) he knows very well that he is acting against Gods wishes, and since we are the most intelligent of species ( in a rational sense ) it can be said that these sins are of an intentional type, and that we are the least Godliness of all creatures, yet we are the only species that comprehend a God. So how can it be true that a God exists? Man is only a small percentage of all the creatures or “gods children” that exist on this earth and yet we are the only ones that understand the idea of an all knowing creator. By all laws of democracy God does not exist, it is a good thing he does not have to run for office every 4 years. All though God is not comprehended rationally by the majority of his creations (all non humans), the majority of his creations are those who act in the most pious of fashions. Can it be that these actions are led by the truest of all faiths, allthough this faith in God is not even recognized by those who the acts belong to?
