God's Omnipresence

Improved Essays
God is present in our lives every day, and He is visible to humans through creation, themselves, history, and others. I see God through all of those ways everyday, but most importantly, I see Him through others. Whether it is my family, friends, or strangers, I can always witness God’s omnipresence. God is revealed to me through other people’s Salvatorian service, their kindness, and their will to answer God’s call to holiness through vocation. God is visible to me through my own service and other people’s service to the poor and vulnerable. People in our world want to serve and support each other, and that helps me to see the gift of generosity given to humans by God.

    In Nonna Verna Harrison’s first chapter of her novel, “God’s Many-Splendored Image,” she discusses what it means to have freedom through two different people. Basil expresses how people are born with freedom, and this freedom should be used to live a God filled world. Gregory speaks of how God strengthens people’s freedom, and fills them up if honored correctly. Harrison does a great job of showing how humans should be grateful for their freedom and use it in a religious way to benefit them, but lacks the opposing argument, leaving a lot of questions for the reader. Freedom is defined as, “The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.”…

    During my early Christian life, I often wondered how does the God look like? I heard people saying testimonies that God spoke to them, they heard the voice of God. But really, Does God speak like normal humans? For me, God is beyond my expectations and he is extraordinary. After reading the article “The Ineffability of God” by Ron Rolheiser, I could easily relate most of the parts mentioned in the article to my life that is, I always escape from thoughts about God’s appearance because I’m confused of being skeptic about God.…

    1. Present the classic view represented by Augustine and their counter-view on divine Omnipotence? “Reality does not stand outside us or over us” (Rausch,38) and that is why Augustine states that the whole notion of an all-powerful God only exists because of man’s accidental and undeserved grace for God. According to Augustine, God controls everything in this world and he is the reason for everything. On the other hand, some argue that if God gave us freedom that required him to have a limited power and control.…

    In view of St. Thomas Aquinas, Anselm, and John Hick's speculations on the existance of God, one could presume that God does exists both in all actuality and comprehension as a result of the considerable number of signs and images that are available in the public eye. God exist in light of the fact that we need him to exist, and he exists for the purpose and souls of every person. God gives us the capacity to settle on our own choices in view of recognizing what is great or wickedness. Knowing and comprehension is the way to God's existence. People are the main creaters on earth that have that capacity.…

    What does it mean to believe in God? According to Luther’s Small Catechism, “It means I trust God and His promises and accept as true all He teaches in the Holy Scriptures” (102). Everyone agrees that the Earth exists with growing and changing life, but some believe that there is a God who is in control of everything while others believe there is not a God and everything is random. There is a God who is seen through the design in all things on Earth, the moral standards in society, and the faith in God’s word.…

    Throughout my life, there have been multiple places where I faintly see God. One day that I felt his presence more than ever was the day after the 2016 election. On the day of the election, there was a lot of tension in Marquette University High School. I do not know how many people felt it, but I know that I did, and I could see that some classmates acted a little out of the usual, and ignored me in some cases. Later that night, the election seemed to be going in favor for Mr. Donald Trump.…

    Is God An Illusion Essay

    Do No Harm Freud has made valuable contributions to the field of psychology; however, much of what Freud has said about complexes and stages have been called into question because they lack empirical support. Furthermore, Freud’s theories tend to have a fairly sexist bias. The idea that people seek a “father figure” is yet another example of Freud’s bias. The idea that God is an illusion and that religion is a neurosis is less based on empirical evidence than it is on personal perspectives and biases. It is therefore ironic that Freud attempts to debunk God on the basis of science yet so thoroughly comes short of using the scientific method.…
