Omniscience

Technology is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. The internet constantly connects each individual to form one united mass and as a result, our society is more connected now than ever. However, “research portrays Americans as increasingly insecure, isolated, and lonely” (157). In an aim to identify the cause of our societal loneliness, Sherry Turkle, a researcher renowned for her social studies on technology, wrote Alone Together, a book which examines that constant connectivity to…

What is evil? That is a very involved question. Some may say that there is no such thing as evil and that everything that happens, happens for a reason and that we are just too simple minded or close to the situation to see what the purpose of it is. But for most evil is something “bad” it’s the opposite of good, it’s something we don’t like and try our hardest to not indulge in. To me there are two main types of evil. There’s natural evil like hurricanes, tornados, natural acts of the wild such…

Try having a Christian explain, in laymen’s terms, the definition of God. Better yet, try explaining to someone any strong emotion felt by an individual in a clear-cut manner. The task is simply impossible. Every emotion which passes through the human vessel is entirely subjective to one’s own experience and understanding. A solution to this problem of universalizing an individual’s abstraction of an idea, could be to paint a metaphysical picture with the use of characteristics that are…

Subservience of the Satanic Forbidden acts and disobedience are separating factors within a given society. Those who obey the rules exist within the unity of the community, whereas those who disobey seem to create an individualistic representation of themselves outside of the conformity of the society. Dealing directly with the Satanic and Demonic, John Milton’s Paradise Lost and Christopher Marlowe’s The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus seek to portray and define the characteristics of the…

God’s Grandeur by Gerard Hopkins is an Italian sonnet describing God’s existence in this world. This particular poem consist of an octave, with patterns of rhymes in each sentence that describes what’s going on. The poem ends with a sestet. We begin where man has forgotten God, the one who is Creator, Lord, and King. The one who is provider, sustainer, and giver of life? God reigns and rules with authority. He is Omniscient and Omnipotent. Job 42:2 say’ He can do all things and nothing can…

The all-powerful being whether they be fictitious, legitimate or suppositional; is often encased by an atmosphere of queries. There are many different interpretations of what such an almighty being would be able to do. But first we must address the question of who we are speaking of. Western religions, over eastern faiths such as Hinduism and Buddhism, are often monotheistic in their descriptions of the almighty. These ideas are clearly laid out in the holy books of these religions, “he is…

When one thinks or talks about God they perceive or have an idea of a being that is all powerful, knowing and good by every definition. So if the question “Does God exist?” were to be answered then it is only logical to break this very same question down also by definitions. According to the Merriam-Webster’s dictionary there are many definitions of God to choose from but for the sake of the length of this paper I will take the first which is, the supreme or ultimate reality as: A) the Being…

Throughout the world there are people starving, drowning, dying from cancer, etc. and there is nothing that a single person can do about it because they do not have the power. However, there should be one omnipotent being that can cause all of this pain and suffering to completely vanish: God. Although many people pray for healing powers and joy, God does not always answer their prayers, but why? There must be some reason as to why God allows evil to occur in a world that he created. Not only is…

From the beginning of time, many different cultures formed sundry religions and fashioned their own ideas about their specific God. These ideas and beliefs have been passed down from one generation to the next. One idea surrounding God that is comparable between the Native Americans and the Puritans include their belief that God exists as a Supreme Being. In this essay, I will convey how each group’s idea of God is different. The Puritans were a Protestant group during the 16th and 17th…

“Surely, God will not act wickedly, And the Almighty will not pervert justice.” JOB 34:12. Going to school at a Catholic school, I was always reminded of the fundamentals of our religion: three persons in one God (aka the Holy Trinity), do not question God, for God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, and lastly, God is just, or more generally God is good. In this excerpt from the book of Job, God’s graciousness and righteousness are questioned by Job, a man of the faith to whom justice…
