Christian theology

God has always established his kingdom among all people and places, calling Prophets and other leaders to look over the Church. Unfortunately the adversary is cun- ning, and tries his best to establish his power right along side God’s. Throughout the history of the Earth, antichrists and other enemies of our Father in Heaven have emerged in an attempt to lead away the saints, and bring their souls unto destruction. The Bible contains many accounts of the efforts these enemies have…

study of revealed religious truths and the philosophical writers of the past as a way to know, worship and serve God. Education was moving outside the cathedral and priest’s home and into a formal setting cities like Paris. The establishment of theology as a topic to be debated rather than a pathway to the heart of God is arguable the greatest disservice of this time in history. Attempting to resolve the questions of faith with the logic and reason of the classical philosophical writers,…

you believe is holding a rule book and destroying His creation. I know this has been an extremely lengthly email, but I feel I must meet one more objection you raised. God 's will is destructive. You may recall how I argued in college that the Christian God could not exist because if He was…

unto him, but every opportunity to yes to him. Accepting Christ and denying yourself are two panes to the window of faith, and opens up the gate to a perfect relationship with God that will one day be eternally restored. To be free as humans and Christians, this is the relationship that we should strive to…

The similarities and differences in the sonnets ‘God’s Grandeur.’ and ‘Sonnet on the Christian Massacre in Bulgaria.’ In the sonnet ‘Massacre of the Christians in Bulgaria’ the author questions the existence of God in contrast lies the sonnet ‘God 's Grandeur’ which glorifies and praises the existence of God. Both sonnets have interesting similarities and a distinct difference when it comes to God. There are two key similarities that are shared between the two sonnets; the first revolves around…

The creation of God breathes life and continues to live until it is time for the creature to pass away. This fact is understood by humans in various ways – both theological and biological. Though God’s creation comes into living at time of its birth and has the free will to perform functions according to its species, it nevertheless ceases to exist when it dies. Some people would argue that it is a normal cycle for any species – to be born and then die. At the same time, some would argue that…

Free Will and its Relation to Grace: Erasmus versus Luther In our reading on Discourse of Free Will, we develop a wholesome idea of the opinions both Erasmus and Luther had on the topic of free will and the how it correlates with God’s grace. Once we look beyond the back and forth debate of this text, we will begin to look at their theological opinions on free will separately to find a better understanding and formulate our own opinions on this commonly debated topic. As we look at the…

I do not agree with the whole conclusion that John Piper presents in his blog post about tornadoes being the finger of God. Piper presents God as a God that causes destruction because society refuses to believe him. Well there is evidence to point out that but C.S. Lewis puts it in a good way is that pain and destruction are God’s way of calling us to repent. These events were not cause directly by God but were not stopped neither to have society as a whole think about life and how we ought to…

Biblical Poetic Readers: Learning How To Know God Can you live in the world, partake of the ways of the world, and yet please God? Psalm 1 is written by an anonymous psalmist, however, the reader can see the psalmist knows God, as well as understands that life without him is bleak. The Wisdom of the psalmist has shined through this Psalm to create this illustration of a wonderful wisdom psalm, perhaps through personal experience or sometime in his life, God revealed to him the importance of the…

There is a good reason God admonishes us not to judge anyone. We simply do not have all the information needed nor will we ever know all that should be known to judge another person or even ourselves. Only God has all the information and that is why He is the just Judge (Psalm 7:11). We only prophesy is part (1 Corinthians 13:9), so God doesn’t tell us everything, just what we need to know. The Bible tells us, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the LORD.…
