Theologians like Dan Story obviously believe that no one person can judge. Only God can judge the hearts of humans. The morality of every person’s heart will be taken into account on the Day of Judgment. Sin and the Human Condition When recognizing sin, you must know where morality is founded. It is founded in God, Who did not only create the Ten Commandments, but He is the standard and the law.
(Heb. 6:1 faith is the substance of things hope for and the evidence of things not seen. I would answer the Axiological question by saying, “God is the creator of the for universe.” Not only does he creates everything, he is everything. So that means because God is of value, we are of value too.We have to always keep God center. (Exodus 20:3 You shall have no other Gods me.)
35).” God designed every organism and every person; and if this organism is living then God is living in it. God is absolute goodness, which means that every creation of His is good. As Williams says on page 34, “There is indeed a beginning point, but it is the beginning of an active relationship that never stops. For God to create is for God to ‘commit’ his action, his life…” God
As the most perfect being, God must exist. According to this statement Descartes, is stating that God must exist because he is the most perfect being, meaning he has numerous attributes such as being eternal, and never having the need or requirement to alter or change in anyway because he is already in a state of perfection and has attained from existence therefore does not need the transformation of change to become somewhat “better” or have the desire of improvement as being God already has those attributes in essence to who he is. Furthermore this goes to say that God must attain exist existence as the idea/concept or understanding of existence is perfection, and God is all purely a perfect being and has all the attributes that define perfection, hence he must hold the attribute of existence. Another idea according to Descartes is that out of knowledge of God is innate. His four premises lead to the one conclusion that “God therefore exists eternally.
According to Luther, a strong faith is the foundation and necessity for a good Christian life. Luther defines a true Christian as “a spiritual, new, and inward man.” Luther makes it clear that no outward or bodily actions are connected with the “liberty or the slavery of the soul.” No evil bodily or external works will injure the soul. Nor will any pure external actions or works save the soul. The most important thing for Christian salvation is the Bible, or as Luther refers to it, “the most holy word of God, the Gospel of Christ.” In order for the soul to be saved, we need the word of God, nothing more. In order to receive salvation, one must have faith in the word of God and “preach Christ”.
For Anselm, God cannot not exist. Descartes supported Anselm in his book ‘meditations’ and developed Anselm’s argument particularly in terms of necessary being. He based his argument for God’s existence on the idea that God is a ‘supremely perfect being’. Descartes believed that we can conclude that God exists, because existence is a predicate of a perfect being; therefore God must exist to avoid being self contradictory.
Does this mean “all truth?” Does that role pertain to the special disciples (Apostles) only, or to all believers? 16:13-15. Bruce, p. 320. Jesus had already introduced the disciples to the truth, and the Spirit would only guide them along the way of the truth. Jesus also insists that the spirit will only speak that which he hears but not on his own impulse.
The best way to be one with Brahman is to do nothing, to achieve nirvana. In Christian theism the relationship with God is very important. Another difference is that God is an entity, a divine being while Brahman is everything. “Brahman, the One, absolute spirit is by definition beyond rational understanding. This is because ultimate reality is impersonal, non-rational and unknowable…” (Leffel,
This tells us that regardless of differing religions, all experiences originate from the ultimate reality and act as proof for the existence of God. Lastly, there is pragmatism. James was a pragmatist and therefore believed that truth is not fixed. It alters as our values change. From looking at the
Equality 7-2521 now sees himself as the “face of god”. Equality 7-2521 has reached to the end of his quest, where he strongly believes that he does not need a warrant for being, because he himself is “the warrant”. Equality 7-2521 says in the passage “The miracle of
