The purpose of this philosophical research paper is to attempt to develop an understanding on the concept of suffering while investigating the problem of evil from a theological perspective using scriptural references from the Holy Bible. Evil is the Absence of Good The Bible teaches that God is a powerful and almighty God. Many people wonder why there is so much pain, suffering, and corruption in the world if there is a presumably good God overseeing it. According to the Bible, God could not possibly cause evil since he is a righteous God.…
Since the Fall, mankind has struggled with countless character problems, including the inability to handle anger. Everyday life presents us with difficult and frustrating situations. As free-willed individuals, we have the choice to either respond in a calm, collected manner, or to lash out impulsively. Although blind rage may seem preferable in the moment, it almost always yields negative results. After all, the ability to reason and reflect separates humanity from wild animals.…
Racism has been a prominent controversial issue in our society through out the years. It is the act of categorizing people based on their race, religion, and/or appearance. This discrimination has created an unethical world were people have become unaware of their actions and judgement towards others. The author, Jennifer Gonnerman, in the article “Before the Law” claims that the justice system allowed an African American teen to be wrongfully sentenced and dismissed due to the color of his skin. Kalief Browder was sent to prison based on charges that were not reliable.…
God is all knowing. His divine intellect, or omniscience, is undeniable when examining scripture. There is an overflow of scripture to back up the claim that there is nothing and no one more intelligent, more knowledgable or wise than God. We get understanding of God's omniscience from the writings of David.…
“Before I discovered the miracles of science, magic ruled the world.” (Kamkwamba 1). Magic took over the world that William Kamkwamba knew growing up in the early 2000’s in Malawi. He heard many stories from his father about magic and how it influenced his life. Magic was almost used in the way people use religion, to explain the supernatural of the everyday.…

Those who seek revenge seek a “savage justice (Document D).” When people go out and try to get revenge for the wrong first inflicted on him or her, they overreact and often inflict more sin and hurt on the person than the person originally did. Document D continues to say that this will occur, and that people who are wise will ignore the past, and “know they have enough to do in the present.” Francis Bacon’s ideas are valid points, as looking back on the past prevents the future. The Bible builds on this idea by saying that every single person should “Love [their] enemies, do good to those who hate [them], bless those who curse [them], pray for those who mistreat [them] (Document A),” and by doing so, they are setting an example and perhaps even changing their “enemies” ways.…
1. Are people determined or do we have free will? While some stories and philosophers may believe that one’s destiny is something that is already decided and set out for them, I personally disagree. For me, when looking at history, sometimes it can seem like one’s fate is already set based on the actions in the past.…

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:19-21, King James…
