Liberation theology

It was dark, not inky black where you can only imagine what your seeing, more a perpetual twilight, a constant dullness. This is normal with no sun, it had not been created yet. God has a dilemma, he 's bored. It 's the beginning of time (whenever that is), part of being God is the need for attention. It does not occur to anyone, but God has needs, just like everyone. The beings he made were in his image, if they have needs, the creator must also need something. Why create things that…

students. The secular psychology was being taught in a way that direct references to theology and God were not made; so when the information was being stored in the brain, they were being stored in neural networks separate from religious neural networks, leading to dissociation between psychology and theology (Johnson, 2011). This finding is important because now that we know how teaching affects the integration of theology and psychology; we know to teach future students. From this study, we…

I think that if 'cogito ergo sum ' is the foundation of Descartes ' project in the Meditations, the existence of God is the cornerstone that joins the internal and the external world, making knowledge possible beyond the sole account of the self. Therefore, God 's existence has a major role in the overall argument - it is that which enables the thinker to take the first steps towards the 'unification of sciences '. However, in my opinion, it is not employed correctly, as Descartes, in…

Introduction Inky, dark,, is how the universe appered before creation. When God started creating things from nothing the light exposed connections between objects. God installed a Rorschach overlay so that connections still existed, but not apparent and open to interputation. This experience is common to all humans, it comes from God. God now has a dilemma, he 's bored. It 's the beginning of time (whenever that is), part of being God is the need for attention. It does not occur to…

As you look about the world, it is easy to see that evil surrounds us in abundance. From the simple idea of pain to agonizing despair, evil is in all corners of life that we face every day. When we lose something or someone close to us, many people’s initial thoughts are, “Why God?” They question how God could allow for something so awful to occur, and cause such misery. Many may ask, if God is an all-powerful, all-knowing, and perfectly moral being, why has he allowed for evil to wander freely…

Learning for the Love of God is about preparing students to go off to college with a Christian foundation to hold onto. There are various types of perceptions and expectations of the college experience. For some, it is about partying, freedom and living it up. For others, it can be solely for academics. It is imperative to make sure that one’s experience does not become an idol before God. Christians are a minority. The pressure to conform to the societal standards of how to fit in with…

Stages of Resilience and the Bible The aforementioned armor of God can be applied to all three stages of resilience. The Before stage especially. Armor is meant to be applied before going into battle. Putting on the Armor of God is a spiritual part of building resilience. Wearing this armor during the hardship allows a person protection in the midst of the During stage. Lastly, the armor is relevant in the After stage. Once the hardship is over, one can reflect on the damage to the armor…

It is my desire to study at Trinity and learn to better understand God’s scripture and biblical theology which I believe will be foundational and essential for my spiritual walk with God and in my future ministry. I had my personal encounter with Jesus Christ when I was 16. My family attended a local Korean community church in the suburb at that…

In this essay I first outline Pascal’s wager to the existence of God and then evaluate his argument. Pascal argues that one ought to wager “that God is” because “[i]f you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing,” and that given this, one can bring oneself to believe in God. I argue that one cannot truly bring themselves to believe in God. Pascal’s argument is set up in three parts. The first part accepts that God is infinitely incomprehensible. To conclude to this, one has to…

Justification by faith produces the ultimate reconciliation between an infinite God and finite man. Nevertheless, a justification without reassurance could convey the idea of a time or action limited outcome. Without a guarantee that the announcement of being declared innocent could not be revoked, creates a situation that may strain the believers’ actual faith. Fortunately, Paul confirms that God’s act is not only fully satisfying it is also without bounds. Paul has previously established that…
