Representation of God in the Bible Throughout the Bible God can be represented in a number of different ways. In some chapters of the Bible God can be found to be a compassionate‚ loving God‚ who would do anything for his people.

ATHEISM Atheism can be defined simply as ‘the absence of belief in gods’. There is‚ unfortunately‚ some disagreement about the definition of atheism. It is interesting to note that most of that disagreement comes from theists — atheists themselves tend to agree on what atheism means. Christians in particular dispute the definition used by atheists and insist that atheism means something very different. No claims or denials are made — an atheist is just a person who does not happen to be a theist

Pragmatic arguments have often been active in the support of theistic belief.

Imago Dei‚ means “Image of God” in Latin and is the basis of all things placed on this Earth. Therefore‚ God is very immanent and put everything and everyone in his own image. Although‚ if all people are made in the image of God‚ then why are there rapists? These crimes that were committed are the polar opposite of Imago Dei. Instead of cherishing the right of human dignity‚ the act of rape destroys it. Heavier sentencing does more to protect the right of human dignity. Basic Christian teaching includes
