The Other Gods

The Bible is the instructions of God given to Christians and followers of Jesus Christ. The Bible is consisted of sixty-six books written by nearly forty authors. Through those authors, readers are taught there is four acts of the Bible; the creation, the fall, the redemption, and the restoration. The Bible records many covenants between human beings. The making of covenants often included signs as well. A covenant is a binding agreement or contract between God and his people. Most significant…

Reeves argues that we look at God in a very one-dimensional way and that humanity tends to look at God and project qualities that only exhibit a part of God. (pg 20) Quoting Karl Barth Reeves argued that even Hitler knew who God was, but that Hitler missed the full point that “… God is almighty, but he wanted to make very clear that mere might is not who God is.” (pg 20). God goes far beyond just power, and Reeves moves on to show that God doesn’t just flex muscles at us in hopes of us loving…

religion for the love of that other person. On the other hand, sometimes people don’t sacrifice religion for someone they love, but instead for something. Although, sacrifice was certainly a central factor in the Catholic spirituality (Gudorf, 1). Sacrifice was an important part of the process of following Jesus Christ because it shows how much love someone has for him and others. For example, parents sacrifice so much for their children. In the bible it states that God sacrificed his son,…

of evil and his question; “if He is both willing and able (to take away all evils), which alone is suitable to God, from what source then are evils? Or why does He not remove them?” , summarises concisely the issue which has been at the forefront of philosophical argument for thousands of years. To explore this question I will first consider what God is. In this essay I will refer to God in the orthodox monotheistic sense of the word as an omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent being.…

belief about some of the supernatural, this I realize. The supernatural can refer to a multitude of definitions. The supernatural being of God is one definition or what the mass of people envision when they hear supernatural, evil. Demons, ghosts, and monsters, I would say that people today believe exceeding in this supernatural and less in the supernatural being of God. The evil supernatural is terrifying, especially if you reject and negate the belief in YAHWEH. If you as a natural being have…

States. Most people would label these terrible tragedies as evil. The problem with evil or why evil exists, is one of the most looked for philosophical questions in our lifetime. When people hear about natural disasters like famine, hurricanes, and other natural disasters, humanity looks to something higher than human understanding can fully comprehend and then blame the misfortunes of the world on it. People have been coming up with stories for generations. Whether it’s Poseidon causing floods…

to Euthyphro asking whether “the pious [is] being loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is being loved by gods” (Plato 12). One can better understand this concept by relating the Euthyphro Dilemma to the Divine Command Theory and examining the potential philosophical implications associated with the two while indicating their errors. The Divine Command Theory states that morality is “somehow dependent upon God” and that it “consists in obedience to God’s commands”.…

In matters of faith theology matters. I believe in the tribune God -- God the creator, Jesus the redeemer, and the Holy Spirit who helps us to “fix our eyes on Jesus” (Heb. 12:2). I am committed to Christocentric theology because I am convinced that it is “the Christ event” -- the act of incarnation, his life and teachings and his death and resurrection (not the idiosyncratic cultural, social or political values) -- which serves as the light that illumines our path to faithful discipleship and…
