Response Paper “The Problem of Evil” The “Problem of evil” is the problem of reviving the existence of the evil in the world with the existence of an omnipotent and a perfect God. The argument from evil is an argument saying that the existence of such evil should not be in this world with an existence of a God. Christianity says that God created the world we live in and that he sustains it. They also…

importance for the imago Dei has been debated ever since. Moreover, how one views the relevance of sin for the imago Dei, whether sin damages the image, destroys it completely or does not affect it at all is important for one’s theology of the imago Dei. In traditional theology, there are several reasons that original sin is important for the discussion the imago Dei: 1) original sin is what causes the divide between God and humanity, 2) the entrance of sin has possible ontological…

The Problem of Evil argument is an atheological attempt to prove God does not exist in a very definitive format. However, the complexity of not only God, but their choice argument, cannot be developed so decisively because they are lacking an explanation for their standard of “evil” foundation. Thus, they seek to rationalize it with a Christian’s perception of God and question every aspect without fulfilling the burden of defining the standard for which evil is based in their argument. “Could…

2. How does Francis interpret Genesis 1:28, which grants humankind dominion over the earth (67)? Francis believes that it is not a correct interpretation of the Bible. He says that humans must forcefully reject the notion that our being created in God's image and given dominion over the earth justifies absolute domination over other creatures. Genesis 2:15 implies a mutual relationship between human beings and nature. 4. In reflecting on the mystery of the universe, what does Francis mean by…

Xenophanes A watch doesn’t exist out of nothing. Someone had to create the pieces than mend them together. There must have been a creator the one that makes the watch just as the universe has a creator. The universe didn’t just come from existence there had to be something that made the universe. Xenophanes a wondering poet and philosopher born in Colophon, around the year 570 B.C. believed in one and only one divine God that created the universe. He claimed to neglect the Olympian gods because…

(LP) assessment of divine foreknowledge and the nature of God to be inconsistent with the concept of full free will; her argument is both insufficient and unsatisfactory iff viewed from a position of theological revelation. I argue that revelatory theology necessarily requires either a complete and deliberate predetermination of events or a minimum value of immutable events. While LP’s argument does allow for limited agent free will, it does so only if divine knowledge is also limited. In this…

. Dr. William Pannell is correct when he argues that people of color have a tendency to view theology differently than their Caucasian counterparts. Those of color view theology from the bottom up, while Caucasians often view theology from the top down. As a theological educator, I desire to discuss those high and lofty theological concepts in the classroom, while at the same time take that theology and make it practical to those in the pew, or in the community. In essence, it is my…

I beleive that the search of meaning and fulfilment is found only in God. Using the Judeo-Christian understanding of God I would agree that philosophers and like Aristole and Plato, have works without the sacred texts and prophets to assess what they beleive about life and the mind/body problem, however I beleive mans understanding would be different than Gods understanding. Humans are attractive by nature to evil/sinful ways instead of good and righteousness. This is best understood by the pear…

The genealogies of Seth and Cain seem pretty boring a first glance. However, you can actually pull a lot out of Chapter 4,5 in Genesis. I would like to compare and contrast details that I have found very intriguing. First, I would like to talk about a few things that we distant to Cain’s line like how the line started with cain and not God or Adam. Also why it mentions a city in his genealogy and what that could mean. As well as why what Lamech said is so important. Then I would like to show you…

"It's one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, to forgive…" Maya Angelou. Becoming a person who forgives takes time, but once the quality of forgiveness is achieved, life becomes refined and anew-in three ways. As long as a person forgives, their mind will feel stress free and clear. In addition, the Christian virtue is to forgive those who persecute you. Lastly, once one grants themselves amnesty, new friendships will blossom since happiness will suddenly begin to radiate through them…
