Christian theology

When facing the call, God will allow people to enter into your life to help kill certain spirits that are within. He has to prune and purge us in order to elevate. Relationships are a perfect example of how God uses people to kill the negative behavioral traits we carry. I was in a relationship and the person tried, well he didn’t try he did, tear my self-esteem down even more than what it was. He made me feel like less than a woman to the point where I began to hide and withdraw from society. I…

Although created to be fundamentally good creatures in a loving relationship with God and in unity with one another and God, mankind used the freedom granted by God for our own desires and turned away from God. As a result, man is in a fallen state, condemned to the reign of death and to a separation from God, where only God’s intervention through the Son can reunite us with God. To understand the fallen condition of man, it is first necessary to understand the importance of the Trinity and…

truly faithful and dedicated Christians will receive the true secrets from God. As a philosopher, and a Christian theologian, “the Summa Theologica,” is “the most comprehensive and systematic works meant to question and investigate many topics” (Baird). To include, five ways to prove the existence of God, by asking and answering any objections to his arguments, for example the first argument he claims God exist, because force set everything in motion. As a Christian I do relate with this Idea,…

I’m proud to say and declare God as my everything, my one, and only savior. Through my short lifetime, I’m proud to say that I have made it this far because His holy grace alights over me and my life, all my success, victories, achievements, and accomplishments are because of Him. God save me and my family from the darkness, He amended my parents’ marriage that was about to end, He freed me from an aimlessly future but of bad self-teem and lack of love. Every day I see God through the simplest…

The existence of God has always been, and remains to be, one of the most widely debated and divisive philosophical issues. Arguments surrounding God’s existence are timelessly important. For many who follow belief systems rooted in monotheism, these arguments support their belief and validate the faith they follow. Others draw comfort from proof of God’s existence, as they feel protected and cared for, and often this can reaffirm a belief in the afterlife too. For some, the arguments are…

In The Consolidation of Philosophy Book III Prose X Boethius claims that if there is a God it would have to be identical with Goodness and Happiness. Firstly, I will further explain Boethius’s claim that the three things we most seek are equal to one another. Stepping away from Boethius’s claim, I will refute Boethius's argument with by arguing that God, Goodness, and Happiness can not be the identical. Lastly, I object to my own objection that although they can not be identical there is a…

David Hume's argument on miracles is flawed both in what he defines as a miracle and his arguments about the assessment on the evidence of miracles. There are many weaknesses in his theory which will be outlined and one of his strengths will be refuted. Hume defines a miracle as a break in the laws of nature as in his book he states "a miracle is a violation of the laws of nature". He also tells us it is not rational to believe in miracles as it is more logical to believe that the natural laws…

There are various philosophical issues that are mere intellectual exercises that have been debated for many years in our history’s past. These issues range in topics from the meaning of life to free will, but the topic about the existence of God is certainly one that many can possibly relate to. The existence of God can be easily recognized from a theist as true and from an atheist as not true. There are people who are agnostic and believe that something exists through the evidence provided.…

There are many different beliefs and arguments that people have made throughout time about whether or not God exists. Some believe there is only one God, some think there are many, and some think there is no God. There are three main arguments that people tend to make about this subject. There is the ontological argument, the cosmological argument, and the design argument. With this paper I will discuss the different beliefs behind these arguments, my thoughts on this topic, as well as my…

Rene Descartes work ‘Meditations on First Philosophy’ is filled with his many ideas on God, the relationship between the mind and body and the trustworthiness of things we believe to be true. The main focus of this essay is his arguments for distrusting the senses. These are the dreaming argument and the evil demon argument. Meditations begins with Descartes casting doubt on everything he once believed to be absolutely true. It is a search for absolute certainty. In order to do this he uses…
