arguments for the existence of God. In doing so I will use Sokolowski and Moser’s approaches while drawing upon other theologian scholars too. Views about theistic arguments are widely diverse, especially contemporary proponents. “Proofs” are merely those that provide arguments with premises that no reasonable person could deny. I will be focusing mainly on Rober Sokolowski book, The God of Faith and Reason, here he examines the existence of God through understanding God as a creator and…

lifestyle. Smith states that “men's faith finds expressions in many forms” (Smith 171). It is more significant to understand the role of personal faith in the religious history of mankind than to understand the nature.…

differ in styles of writing, purpose, audience, and of course author. Each hold great importance in portraying the word of God but they contain their own unique attributes as well. 2 Corinthians is a letter from Paul, written to the people of Corinth which is made known in 1:1, “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God that is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia [...].” This is the second epistle written to…

Paul Froese and Christopher Bader, authors of America’s Four Gods, summarize the attitudes and perceptions about God from Americans into four categories. These categories are based on how engaged and judgmental a person considers God. If God is engaged and judgmental, He is perceived as an authoritative God. If God is not engaged and judgmental, He is perceived as a critical God. When God is perceived as not engaged and non-judgmental, He is distant, and when he is engaged and non-judgmental, He…

Title Rae Spoon’s song “God Was on Your Shoulders” is a cohesive narrative illustrating the major parental relationships in the narrator’s life. Specifically, the effect religion had on shaping said relationships. Throughout the narrator’s life, the persons that are supposed to love and support them abuse and neglect them under the banner of religious righteousness. Though seeming rather personal “God Was on Your Shoulders” directly reflects on religion as a personal justification for abusive…

Christianity, and Islam do worship the same God. Each of these religions claim to be Abrahamic Faiths, also, each religion is monotheistic. Abrahamic Faith means that each of these religions is following the God of Abraham. Monotheism is a belief in one God that is all powerful and all knowing. There are differences in the way each religion worships God. One difference is Islam teaches that Christianity and Judaism have corrupted the true word of God through idolatrous practices. Another…

All human beings are born with a sinful, corrupted nature, (which is separation from God). This sin affects the entire race. All human beings are born with a sinful nature. (Genesis 1:26, 27, 2:17, 3:6; Romans 5:12-19) Man's sin…

out of the text to develop a lesson. I am now aware that I rushed into the study of the Bible, without properly seeking God and tuning into what he would have me to learn from his word. I was so concerned about developing a lesson and completing an assignment that I neglected to spend time with the author; for getting to open up my mind, heart, and spirit to hear a word from God. Secondly, I should have studied the scripture multiple days rather than rereading the passages over and over…
