Among all these religion that I have come across with atheist surprises me very much because they are people who know the existence of…

The book of Romans begins with a greeting from Paul the apostle to the church in Rome and specifically to his fellow believers. He is grateful that they proclaim their faith and has wanted to see them, but has been unable to because of extraneous circumstances. Paul is not ashamed of his faith and knows that salvation will come first to the Jews and then the Gentiles. He goes on to say in chapter 2 and 3 how God is against unrighteousness and suppressing of the truth. God gave up people to their…

To the best of our knowledge, humans are the only creatures on earth that are able to contemplate infinity. We commonly talk about the infinite universe (which cosmologists now tell us is almost certainly finite but unbounded), we speak of infinite number series, such as the set of even numbers, and we use it metaphorically, as in saying someone has “infinite patience.” Time itself is spoken of as infinite, though it is always tied to finite objects which are changing and we can 't even come…

wickedness” (35:15). Elihu was determined to declare God entirely just (34:10-12) and defend Him (36:2) while twisting Job’s words. In sum, Elihu did sort through and augment the growing legal tangle, but his additions were not helpful. Cajoler Elihu was also bent on getting Job to reconsider and he explored new territory in the process. Early in his first speech, he shifted gears temporarily away from Job’s presumed declarations of innocence. Instead, acknowledging the great gulf between God as…

REFLECTIVE RESPONSE PAPER: DELIGHTING IN THE TRINITY Many times, in the Christian life, one topic can slip through the cracks of thoughtful thinking. One area that seems to be less emphasized is the teaching of the Trinity and its implications to the Christian worldview. Michael Reeves book “Delighting in the Trinity” seeks to end the madness of thinking of the trinity as being cold and boring. Michaels main argument is that “God is love because God is a Trinity”. The point of this response…

Executive Summary: Theology of the Workplace During Wayne Grudem’s visit to Biola University in California, he spoke on what is perhaps the least discussed topic among Christians; theology in business. In an amiable manner, Wayne began to introduce point after point of support for his main premise, that, “the bible views work in a positive way” (Gruden, 2014). Wayne uses many biblical references to support that, “God views work as the moral good.” (Grudem, 2014). God Commands us to work. Work…

With that in mind, Descartes begins to sketch arguments that call all his a priori knowledge into doubt. The first of those, is an argument regarding God. Descartes writes how it is firmly rooted in his mind that there is an omnipotent God, who created him, and the whole world. He follows that by adding, however, that there is no way for him to know if God did in fact create the earth, the sky, and the the things he sees, but is merely deceiving Descartes into believing they exist. Furthermore,…

Are we at debt with a supreme Being? What is the nature of man’s guilt, given the rupture caused to an original divine order? Can a just God lend forgiveness and thus offer reconciliation to his fallen creation? All these fundamental questions and more have been thoroughly explored by philosophers of all ages. Two thinkers in particular who have sought to provide answers to these inquiries are Friedrich Nietzsche and Saint Anselm. In their respective works, On the Genealogy of Morals and Cur…
