Euthyphro Philosophy A Concise Introduction – PHI 208 Euthyphro If everyone took the time to discuss holiness / piety (reverence for God), there would always be many different interpretations or perceptions on what it really is and just how to determine that it is being done. The best philosophers in the world have engaged in many conversations about this subject for decades. Socrates has been one of many that discussed this subject. Socrates was a man that was accused of impiety and

Bible, Rowlandson uses this expression to qualify her conviction that God will never leave His people forsaken. More specifically, these declaration of God by Rowlandson are reflective of the common consensus among Christians that all that which happens in our lives has a reason, and that such happens at the Will of God, whether good or bad in nature. Indeed, in making this claim, Rowlandson is expressive of the fact that God has remained on her side as a source of blessings and protection through

God On Trial Christian Worldview Integration Dr. Carl B. Smith II Its impossible to reflect on the origins of evil without bringing up the concept of free will. God created man with this idea of choice; the choice to believe and obey, or the choice to disobey. It was this free will that allowed Adam and Eve to fall from their initial glory and introduce evil and suffering into the world. We can justify a large amount of sustained suffering by acknowledging that it actually benefits us and is not

AfewbriefexcerptsfromstoicpoetsAdams and the Aeneid; the pagan gods represent our theistic God. I find parallels in their pagan observations about their “gods” and the powers of our theistic God. Let me explain, often times people need something that can explain what is happening in their lives. As well as something to give them hope. Many of the gods in those days had power over one thing, it almost sounded as though they were personified objects or feelings. God, as we believe, is all powerful and can change

When God is in the garden with Adam, he commands him to not eat fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Adam and Eve go on to break this singular rule and be punished, but not to the extent most would think.

Instead of dying, Adam and Eve are removed from the garden and go on truly begin their lives. God punishes them for their actions, but also gives

God? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, God is “a being or object believed to have more than natural attributes and powers and to require human worship; specifically: one controlling a particular aspect or part of reality.” (“God”). For a philosopher, however, this concept has proven to be more than a little difficult to solve. According to O’Brien in his book An Introduction to the Theory of Knowledge, “The philosophy of religion is (in part) concerned with whether such a belief is justified

The gods of the Iliad are a unique set of “individuals”. Unlike the omnipresent god of the Christian who is above man in wisdom, power and character, these gods are portrayed as a family. Here’s a family of bickering members who seek attention, get jealous and generally act as a typical extended family unit. My thesis thus is that gods are not impotent but are in a lot aggrandized versions of man who control the fate of man. Gods as stated earlier are very much like man. One way to see this analogy

The God, who keeps everything in perfect order, makes the sun rise and set. With the passage of time, there also have been scriptures appearing that support the existence of God. Stories, events and many supernatural occurrences that is beyond human’s intellect. The Myths of Fire, Water, Earth and Air were famous for their supernatural existence in the Roman Era. Before the Ancient Greek religion turned into mythology, existence of God was well practiced by the Greek

world. Whether it is Allah for the Muslims, Brahman for the Hindus, or God for Christians, it seems the notion of God is imbedded deep in the history of many different ethnicities and backgrounds. According to some studies a belief in a deity is innate, we are essentially hardwired to believe in God. Even from a young age we are taught “there is something more out there”, but is there? What proof is there? Has one every seen God? Is it ignorant to simply believe in something that has no proof? It is
