It took a while for Langston to actually stand and come forth to be saved, but after feeling ashamed and having everyone in the congregation around him he came forth. That very night Langston cried, not because he had seen God but because…

“To say that I am made in the image of God is to say that love is the reason for my existence, for God is love. Love is my true identity. Selflessness is my true self. Love is my true character. Love is my name” (Merton). What was Merton’s main point of this statement?

In almost all religions, God is seen as perfect; he has unlimited power (omnipotent), all knowing (omniscient), and infinite benevolence (omnibenevolent). Because of this, people have difficulty in explaining why an all knowing, powerful, benevolent God would allow evil to exist in our universe. The term is called The Problem of Evil, and has been a topic of debates for hundreds of years. In “Dialogue on Good, Evil, and the Existence of God” by John Perry, three philosophers discuss the dilemma.…
