tell you the truth, all I ever listen to are people talking about their Christian or Catholic beliefs and nobody ever bats an eye, but as soon as somebody even as mentions an Agnostic or Atheistic belief its considered "evil" or "satanism", which is most times not the case. So let's start from there.…

In regards to the play, "The Christians," by Lucas Hnath, the controversy the Christians vs. Christians, quarrel about the existence of hell. Ultimately, the idea that hell does not exist in the presence of Christianity seems absurd, since Christians deem the origin of evil behavior to be stored there. In another literary work "the philosophy of pitchforks," it also reassesses the image of hell. Pastor Paul did have a good point when he stated that the Bible "does not say hell" (Hnath 37). The…

This leads us to ask the important questions; what does hope mean to the Christian? How does the Bible define hope? How is hope essential to the faith? In this section I will address these questions and in doing so will illustrate how hope is a theological concept. I wish to begin by once again imitating the apophatic approach to defining Christian hope; that is to say to define it by pointing out what it is not. Christian hope is not “I hope my team wins the championship” or “I hope I get a…

psychologists disregarding the ability to be assisted by prayer, reading the Bible and meditation with God. I believe that those things are important and vital to finding peace and well as strength through mental and emotional difficulties. Practicing “Christian” Psychologists should never advise against them or promote activity that go against Biblical teaching. In response to some of the things that I disagree with, yes, psychology was founded on secular principles but that does not make…

Chapter five in Practicing Christian Doctrine talks about Anthropology. This word means the study of the human being. Humans are sons and daughters of God almighty. Humans are also created in the image of God. As humans, we have a guidebook for life, the Bible, and we have an ideal example, Jesus Christ, of how to live. In Practicing Christian Doctrine, humans are described as creatures, sinners and new creations. As creatures, humans are utterly dependent on God. This is true because humans are…

counselor helps the client see the positive aspects in themselves that they cannot see. The Bible builds us up in a positive way that is why my Christian beliefs will benefit my clients.

I am a Christian, God is important to me and I came to Colorado Christian University to integrate my beliefs into my counseling. To be a great counselor the process must be calming and welcoming to your…

and music. One piece of popular culture that is heavily influenced by religion is the world-renowned Harry Potter series. Throughout all of the Harry Potter books and movies you can see an obvious Christian influence. Harry Potter is a lived theology, the characters reflect Jesus Christ and some Christian practices are represented, but still some people view the series as having negative values. First of all, Harry Potter is a lived theology. Miller-McLemore describes a lived theology as “the…

heart a Christian counselor can help impart clarity for us. Being a disciple is the first part of Christian counseling. The two go together in either delivering the counsel or receiving the counsel. Falaye (2013) writes, “Biblical counselling follows the Bible and seeks to minister the love of the true and living God, whose love deals with sin and produces obedience” (p 56). Otherwise, distrust and misunderstanding will always be the result. Fouque and Glachan (2000) explain, “Even a Christian,…

What my husband's advancement to Chief Petty Officer means to me? The answer of that question could be 10 pages long or I could just resume what I feel in one word, "extremely proud", well I guess two words. I met Christian 16 years ago, he was full of energy, funny, and he had the ability to turn any sad or bad situation into a joke making everybody laugh; that is what make me fell in love with him. On the other hand, he was a little immature, unfocused when it comes to work, and nothing seemed…

Christian’s are constantly being tempted beyond belief in today’s society. This temptation can stem from the smallest things to the largest things, but whatever the temptation is, we as Christians must constantly be alert and ready to brace ourselves against this temptation at all times. Sadly, most Christians aren 't fully aware of who or even what is tempting them. They are oblivious to the fact that creatures outside the realm of what we can see may be pushing us toward that very temptation…
