A SCENARIO of the THOUGHTs OF HUMANKIND & its POWERs

Charlene Ivery-Baba Ph.D. in Theology

Description

People of faith ask the question, what does it mean to be religious? There are so many religions or philosophies, which make it hard to choose the right one, even if that is possible. Thus, selecting the right religion takes a person to perform research and obtain knowledge to determine what it means to be a genuinely religious person and what faith in God through religion means. There are three parts of this book, to help enlighten your thoughts about understanding religion and spiritual faith. The book examined humankind's minds and choices made under different influences or choices and without being influenced. As human beings, we are influenced to make choices that might be right or might be wrong that can be helpful in some ways or harmful in others. This book aims to see how the mine materialized and the pushing factors that assist our decision-making.

ABSTRACT
I RESEARCHED THE theological Christianity approach and a philosophical secular humanitarian idea of h umanity to show how their minds can materialize excellent and evil thoughts in our society, where people have the freedom of choice of prevalent behavior to cherry-pick to survive lifestyles or choose pleasure. I also proposed that religious and non-religious teachings could influence the human mind for them to process to perform excellent or destructive behaviors. I also focused my attention on Christianity’s biblical history to show the sovereignty of God of Christianity is the primary force behind people’s acceptable behavior choices. This religion shows a God that entered the world, His presence is here, and He has a plan to separate the good and the evil and return for the good to live with them on earth. The United States of America, a capitalistic society, is presently challenged with adverse humanitarian teaching to change most Americans’ traditional religious lifestyles. The results could be harmful.
Further, I examined the truth behind the faith teaching of salvation in the Name of Jesus Christ of the Christianity religion compared to the secular education of humanitarian belief. I began my analysis to research the materials because m ost of humanity believes there is a God. I continued to recognize the God of Christianity as the One True God, as the Supreme Being of all cultures but is worshiped differently. Next, I researched predictors’ opinions on how good or bad choices were made and their influence on the human mind. Each one was examined to understand the results of their diagnosis in particular. I proved to support or deny their beliefs or teachings. I ended with discussions on the part of theologians, sociologists, psychologists, and philosophers to understand better why and how humankind’s thoughts managed for them to behave this way or not that way. The results ended with their choices of right over wrong or wrong over right, which cannot be denied.
Keywords: God, no-God, religion, secular humanism, good and bad thoughts, biblical story, Theology, beliefs, sociology, psychology, Unitarianism, and biblical and systematic theology
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I GIVE GOD glory for allowing me to experience the great mystery of His Son Jesus Christ’s work on Calvary to grant me the gift of salvation. Thanks, to my significant other Ahmadu, my sisters, my brothers, my family and my community families, and my friends and associates, especially my friend, Mr. Bundy (Herb) forever alive.
I also thank Dr. Mattis, one of my former professors at Grand View University, Bishop West, my longtime friend and forever pastor, and Dr. Jones, who was my Advisor at Atlantic Bible Seminary College. Moreover, thanks to the Saints at Higher Ground Always Abiding Assemblies, those who equip me with biblical knowledge help me continue my Christian journey. They gave me just what I needed to keep me going to stay on task to complete this paper and stay on the Christian journey. Moreover, many thanks to my daughters, Kelly and Lady, and friend Abigail, who God put in my life just at the right time. At the time I needed help to push me along the way to finish and submit this research paper. I give my condolence to my late friend Sadie’s family. My heart will always remember her for the many honorable deeds and our forever-lasting friendship, I learned to appreciate. And in October, I said good-bye to my daughter Kelly. She left this world and I hopefully believe she went to live with the Lord in heaven.
Thank you all!
