It states that the name of the Lord is holy and makes God present when spoken. It also discusses how Jesus' name is above every other name and that every knee will bend and tongue proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord. The document asks how to show honor to God's name and how one can profane God's name through blasphemy, cursing, profanity, and perjury.
Does God Exist?
The document discusses reasons people believe that God does or does not exist. It outlines arguments commonly used in the existence of God debate, such as the Bible being a historically reliable document, everything needing a designer or cause, and personal experiences.

Does God Exist
This document is a series of gospel messages given by Watchman Nee in 1936 on the topic of the normal Christian faith. It is divided into four sections covering subjects about faith ranging from knowledge of God, Christ, and the Bible to doctrines of redemption, life, and the Spirit. The first section focuses on Christ and God, with the first chapter addressing the question of whether God exists by examining the qualifications of those who claim there is no God and presenting evidence from nature in support of God's existence.

In Baptism, Christians receive their name in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and their name signifies their identification with Christ.
Ezekiel 1 2
God calls Ezekiel through a vision of his glory, shown through a great windstorm, four creatures with human, lion, ox, and eagle faces, and wheels covered with eyes. Ezekiel falls facedown, overwhelmed for seven days by the vision. God then calls Ezekiel to speak his words to the rebellious Israelites, whether they listen or not, and promises to be with him.
Is Christ the Only Way to God?
The document discusses whether Christianity is too narrow in claiming to be the only way to God. It considers three options: that Christianity is not narrow; that Christianity is narrow and wrong; or that Christianity is narrow and true. It examines Jesus' and the apostles' teachings that salvation is only through belief in Christ. It addresses criticisms that Christianity is intolerant or ignorant for claiming exclusivity. The document seeks to determine if Christianity's exclusivity claim can reasonably be asserted to be wrong.

Faith
Faith involves walking with God through both difficult times and good times.

Faith is demonstrated in both extraordinary and ordinary everyday situations through one's character and actions.
Serving the Purpose of God
1) David served God's purpose in his generation by working humbly as a shepherd, fighting bravely against enemies of Israel like Goliath, waiting patiently for God to fulfill his promise of kingship, and leaving a godly legacy through his writings in the book of Psalms.
2) All Christians should seek to understand God's unique purpose and plan for their lives and serve Him faithfully in both their daily choices and through helping others learn about the gospel.
3) While God forgives sins, disobedience still has consequences; David's life provides an example of both God's forgiveness and the repercussions of wrongdoing.

It discusses the author's faith as a Seventh-day Adventist, which emphasizes the second coming of Christ and observance of the seventh-day Sabbath. The introduction explains that Adventists differ from other religions based on their interpretation of the Bible, not for personal preference or denominational influence. It asserts that the Bible should be taken literally unless figures of speech are indicated, and that Adventists do not set dates for Christ's return but watch for the signs of the times as described in scripture.
Does Absolute Truth Exist? Class # 1 intro
"Pilate said to Jesus, "Are You a King then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?"
What is truth? In our world today many seem to have decided "truth" is whatever they want it to be. Even when individuals are presented with strong and undisputed evidence, if it is not to their liking, they will not accept it as true for them. But for Christians this is not an option. However, there is powerful and convincing proof that Christianity is the one true religion, that the triune God who reveals himself in the Bible is the one and only God of the universe, and Jesus Christ died for our sins so that we may live. Yet many choose to ignore the evidence and instead hold to other beliefs.
We will use the book "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist" by Norman L Geisler and Frank Truek to explore the topic of Christian Apologetics. We will study together and discuss the reasons for our faith as believers in Jesus Christ and we will equip ourselves to help skeptics who are open to the truth to see the real truth.
Belief about deity revision ppt
Christians believe in one God who exists in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They believe God is eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. Christians believe in God for reasons such as ontological, cosmological, teleological, and moral arguments as well as religious experiences, miracles, and their upbringing. They believe Jesus was the Son of God and performed miracles such as calming storms, healing people, and resurrecting Lazarus to show he had power over nature, could heal people, and overcome death himself through his own resurrection.
Belief intro
Unit 1 discusses believing in God. It covers religious upbringing, arguing that many people come to believe in God through being brought up in Christian families and communities where parents introduce children to belief and encourage faith development. However, as children grow up, they may question the beliefs they were taught or adopt different views after exposure to other ideas. The unit also examines arguments for and against belief in God from the perspectives of theists, atheists, and agnostics.
18. Why Believe in God?
The document provides an overview of apologetic arguments for believing in God. It discusses five main reasons to believe: the cosmological argument regarding cause and effect; the teleological argument focusing on design in the universe; the moral argument that objective moral values imply God; the prophecy argument that predictive prophecies point to God; and that human intuition about beauty, justice, immortality and utopia (heart-wiring) provides evidence. It addresses some objections and encourages reflection on how to discuss faith with others. The document contains guidance on growing deeper in one's understanding of Christianity through studying what one believes and applying the gospel.
03-22-20, Romans 3;19-4;4, Justified
This document is a transcript of a sermon about how believers can glorify God through faith alone rather than works. It discusses how the law reveals human sinfulness but does not justify. The sermon says true faith in God pleases Him and brings glory to Him, as exemplified by Abraham, who believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. In contrast, trying to add works to faith undermines God's grace and tries to steal His glory. The conclusion is that we glorify God by accepting salvation as a free gift of grace through faith in Christ alone.

The Purpose Of The Bible
This presentation is designed as a way of getting groups to discuss the overall message of the Bible.
The Life that Wins ( PDFDrive.com ).pdf
The document summarizes Watchman Nee's messages on "The Life That Wins" delivered in 1935. It discusses the ideal victorious Christian life ordained by God and contrasts it with the common experiences of failure and defeat among Christians in eight areas: 1) Sins of the spirit like pride and unbelief 2) Sins of the flesh 3) Sins of the mind like wandering thoughts 4) Sins of the body related to overindulgence 5) Sins of disposition like being too harsh or timid 6) Sins related to one's natural temperament and character traits. The document urges Christians to humble themselves and recognize their shortcomings in order to receive God's grace and victory over these failures.

Non religious beliefs
This document discusses beliefs about life after death from both religious and non-religious perspectives. It aims to explain why some non-religious people believe in an afterlife while others do not, and why some religious people reject the idea of life after death. As an example of how this theme is portrayed in media, the document analyzes the 1990 film Ghost and whether it represents religious beliefs fairly. It concludes with discussion questions about the representation of the afterlife in Ghost and other media.
Life after death
The document summarizes and compares Christian and Buddhist beliefs about life after death. It explains that Christians generally believe in either the immortality of the soul or resurrection of the body, as described in the Bible. Buddhists, according to the sources cited, believe in reincarnation and the continuation of the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth until enlightenment is reached. The document also notes that beliefs about an afterlife can influence and provide comfort to believers during their earthly lives.
Euthanasia
The document discusses the controversial issue of euthanasia and outlines arguments for and against changing the law to allow it. It defines different types of euthanasia and examines Christian and Buddhist perspectives on hastening death. Students are asked to consider the issue from different characters' viewpoints and discuss whether the UK law on euthanasia should be changed.
Abortion
This document discusses Christian and Buddhist views on abortion. It provides an overview of key arguments for and against abortion from a religious perspective. Christians believe that life is sacred and a gift from God, beginning at conception. Buddhists believe in non-violence but think abortion must be considered on a case-by-case basis, weighing factors like the child's health and burden on the parent. Religious views on abortion involve complex considerations around morality and compassion.
Lesson 6 christian problem of evil
Here are potential responses to the questions:
- Mother Teresa is often cited as someone who coped with suffering through compassionately serving the poor and needy in India.
- Holocaust survivors like Elie Wiesel went through unspeakable horrors but used their experiences to educate others on the evils of indifference. Some are broken by trauma while others are strengthened by overcoming adversity.
- Suffering is relative - a paper cut causes more distress to a child because they lack perspective of worse pains. However, eliminating all discomfort would not satisfy everyone and life requires some hardship to have meaning.
- Difficult experiences can build character when faced with resilience and wisdom is often born from enduring hardships. For example, the
Lesson 5 the problem of evil
The document discusses the problem of evil and suffering from a religious perspective. It defines moral and natural evil, provides examples of each, and presents a diagram showing how the existence of evil and suffering poses a problem for the existence of an omnibenevolent, omnipotent and omniscient God.
Lesson 4 creation
The document summarizes two arguments for the existence of God - the design argument and the causation argument. The design argument holds that the universe is too complex and orderly to have formed by chance, and must be the work of an intelligent designer (God). The causation argument states that everything must have a cause, so the universe must have been caused by a very powerful cause (God). The document also outlines Richard Dawkins' view that scientific explanations for the origin and development of the universe lead some to doubt the existence of God.
2 miracles
The document discusses several types of religious experiences that some people claim can change their beliefs about God:
1) Miracles - Acts of God that go against the laws of nature, like those performed by Jesus, which helped people believe in him.
2) Numinous experiences - Overwhelming experiences of beauty or awe in nature that convince some people God must exist.
3) Answered prayers - Experiences where prayers seem to be directly responded to by God, strengthening belief.
4) Conversion experiences - Dramatic or gradual changes in belief from one faith or no faith to belief in God. These experiences can profoundly impact one's worldview.
Core Revision Booklet 09
The document provides revision materials for a GCSE religious education exam, including:
- Links to online revision resources on various RE topics such as science and religion, medical ethics, and peace and justice.
- Outlines of what Christians believe about the origins of the world, treatment of animals, abortion, euthanasia, and other medical issues.
- Descriptions of Christian perspectives on wealth and poverty, pacifism, just war theory, and use of violence.
- Previous exam questions on these topics, asking students to describe beliefs, explain viewpoints, and discuss whether they agree with given statements.

Rachel Wilson
The document discusses different types of war such as holy/religious wars, just wars, and pacifism. It outlines the rules of a just war including that war must be a last resort and proportional. Pacifism believes all war is wrong. The document also discusses why society needs punishment for crimes for protection, deterrence, retribution, and reform. It defines capital punishment as the death penalty and notes Christians believe only God can take a life. Finally, it provides a brief overview of Amnesty International and the human rights issues it campaigns for.
Leah Thompson
The document discusses different types of war such as religious wars, conventional wars that use weapons like nuclear bombs, and wars defined by geography. It also outlines the rules of just war, including using war only as a last resort and having a just cause like self-defense. Pacifism is discussed as the belief that war should not occur under any circumstances. The document also talks about why punishment is needed for wrongdoing through systems like capital punishment and jail time. Amnesty International aims to help people understand their human rights and assist those being treated unfairly.
Laura
Capital punishment is the death penalty for serious crimes like murder. There is disagreement over whether it is moral or effective in deterring crime. Critics argue there is a risk of executing innocent people. Pacifism involves the belief that war and violence are unjustifiable and conflicts should be nonviolently resolved, often for religious or practical reasons. Amnesty International is an international human rights organization that campaigns to improve people's lives and end human rights abuses worldwide. The rules of just war state that war can only be waged defensively as an absolute last resort after all peace efforts fail, must avoid harming innocents, be as brief as possible, and aim to restore peace.
Hannah Skidmore
The document discusses different types of wars such as just wars, holy wars, and civil wars. It also discusses nuclear war and outlines principles of conduct during war such as limiting attacks to combatants and protecting civilians. Pacifism and Christian pacifism are defined as being opposed to war and violence. Capital punishment is discussed as both potentially preventing crime but also risking innocent lives. Punishments are said to be needed to maintain order and safety in society. Amnesty International is introduced as an organization that works globally to protect human rights.
Chris Mills
The document discusses different types of war including civil war, conventional warfare, nuclear warfare, and unconventional warfare. It also outlines rules of just war which state that war should only be used defensively and as a last resort, protecting the innocent. The document also discusses pacifism as opposition to war and violence, and how some believe capital punishment is needed to stop crime and bring justice.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
