My Personal Doctrine Some people when they ask someone to prove that God exists will say, “So, you 're saying that only god can prove that God exists?” Yes, it 's true, only God can truly tell us that He has always existed and that he has always been here. Even if we could actually see God like Exodus 24:11 says “But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank”. Some time in our lives we have to believe He is exactly who He claims to be in His Word and in His unlimited power and infinite knowledge. But this doesn 't necessarily mean our faith is blind and cannot be explained. It also does not mean that faith in the Bible contradicts life science as we know it. God has given us and is giving us confirming evidences in the past and even right now so that our faith is not blind but rational. When we read from the Bible, we see evidences that powerfully
It is an eyewitness account of every event of such greatness that they have literally shaped the world in which we live. Without the bible the world would be completely different today than if any of the events in the bible had never occurred. It’s not too much to say that the events in this book are claimed by a significant amount of people who have ever lived on this earth to be the most important things to ever happen in recorded history of the earth. This book is important to almost about everything mankind will ever know and accomplish. It has encouraged world leaders to create peace within their country. Because of the bible, great projects have been built, hospitals were created, Orphanages and food banks have been founded. None of these things would be possible without a loving God such as ours. Remember when I said that God was Omnipotent and omniscient? This is proof that he is. None of these things could have happened without a Inspiring

    Just because there is not evidence does not mean that is evidence he does not exist. I do not believe that people believe in god, just because they do believe that god exist, but because it gives them something that others cannot. It brings people together and gives people hope in the worst of times, and it can fill voids in peoples lives that are rather impossible to fill. It also gives them a reason to live, and live moral ones at that. However, this is also a problem in the discussion of th...

    Reasoning like this, alone is not sufficient to prove the existence of God, but it provides us with firm ground to rationally approve and understand the existence of God. One must have faith, to truly acknowledge and believe in the existence of God because as God is perfect and we are not, we cannot see or know the true perfect with full confidence, unless God intervenes--"faith is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8).

  • Do Theists Do Not Do God Exist?

    1195 Words  | 3 Pages

    H.J. McCloskey claims that “proofs” are not valid and do not provide enough evidence that God exists. In the article, he claims that these “proofs” should be abandoned but he also claims that theist do not come to God or religion solely based on these “proofs”. In the article on page 62, McCloskey quotes a colleague saying, “most theist do not come to believe in God as a result of reflecting on the proofs, but come to religion based on other reasons and factors.” Theists believe in God and His Word over any “theory” that scientist can come up with. The Bible outweighs any other “theory” to theists. Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Atheists may make a good argument that God does not exist but there is no documented evidence proving evolution like the documented writings in the Bible telling the story of how God created the heavens and the earth. McCloskey is correct that “proofs” do not prove God’s existence but they do help see the viewpoint of theists. It is ultimately up to each person to believe in what they want to believe in. God gave us free will to be able to choose for ourselves. McCloskey talks about free will negatively and also brings up the point that since evil exists, God cannot. This is not true by any means and we will dispute McCloskey’s points throughout this essay.

  • Bible Authority: Logical Positivism And Biblical Authority

    1589 Words  | 4 Pages

    Inspiration can be defined as God’s ongoing and dynamic revelation of truths to humans in order for us to know how to live and deal with spiritual and ethical encounters, by instilling wisdom and understanding of his word. Since humans wrote the Bible there is room for idiosyncrasies, intelligence, historic context, social context, and geographical context to influence scripture. However, God’s revelation of himself and his character prevails through the Bible. There is a dimension of God that can only be reached through personal encounters of His truths, through prayerful reflection of the Bible.

  • Essay On Biblical Worldview

    1286 Words  | 3 Pages

    Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis, once said, “What you believe about who you are, where you came from, affects your whole worldview.” As a Christian, Ken Ham understands that believers must have a clear understanding of their origin and for what purpose they were created if they are to be unwavering in their beliefs. This foundational knowledge is provided by God in his word. While the entire Bible is important and no part should be undervalued, the first few chapters are some of the most critical in the construction of the believer’s worldview. Genesis 1-11 is essential in the construction of a biblical worldview and reveals to Christians God’s purpose for the world, humans, relationships, and civilizations.

    1210 Words  | 3 Pages

    Although a worldview ensues what a person believes about the great questions of life, a biblical worldview stands far more intense since it’s filtered through the bible and the outlook stays Christ focused. The book of Romans in the Bible provides an example of what a biblical worldview should be like. As a result of Paul’s truths in Romans 1-8, believers have been able to grasp an understanding of the teachings that express the idea of a biblical worldview that God intended us to perceive.

  • Is There a God?

    1828 Words  | 4 Pages

    The question of whether there is any clear evidence of God's existence, tried to argue for many centuries, by engaging in this enlightened minds, representing both positions on this controversy.In recent years, evidence refuting the possibility of the existence of God have become the cause of many clashes, accusing at the same time anyone who dares to say that he believes in God, a man who believes illusions and irrational.Karl Marx stressed that everyone who believes in God must suffer from a mental disorder which affects its ability to correct thinking.The psychiatrist Sigmund Freud wrote that a person who believes in God the Creator has the illusion and asserts itself in this belief because they believe in the factor "fulfilling the wishes of" what causes human something that Freud recognized the undeserved position.The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche openly said that faith is synonymous with the reluctance of knowing what is true.The votes of these three historical figures (and others) are now re-presented by a new generation of atheists who claim that belief in God is intellectually justified.Is that what this is all about?Is belief in God is a symptom of irrational thinking?Is there a logical and reasonable evidence for the existence of God?Is beyond recourse to the Bible, the question of God's existence can be confirmed, refuted this position with both old and new atheists, and faith in the Creator of factly justified?Yes, it can.And what's more, the importance of evidence of the existence of God makes the position of atheists seem to be very convincing.To provide evidence for the existence of God, we must first put the right questions.We'll start with one of the most important, metaphysical questions: "Why do we have somet...

  • The Doctrine Of The Bible

    Countless people ask the question, how the Bible came to be? Several may ask is the Lord’s Word truly inspired by God through the prophets, and how do we know what is the original truth. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." (NASB) 2 Peter 1:21 goes on to say, "For no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God." (NASB) Therefore; it is extremely critical for the church fathers to establish what documents would become the fundamental message used to institute Christian doctrine. For this reason, the New Testament canon was incorporated to achieve the Lord‘s promise, but how was these twenty-seven books formed? According to Gundry, author of the Survey of the New Testament the Christians did not have books that contained the New Testament for the traditions of Jesus words, deeds and the message from God through the prophets.

  • Does God Exist?

    627 Words  | 2 Pages

    However, if we picture God as something that could be everywhere, surrounding us like air or awareness, then, understanding if and what God is - all of a sudden - becomes a possibility. I am sure you can agree: if there is a God, then God has to exist and has to be aware of His Existence (can you even picture an unconscious God). Also, He must exist on his own, which means: God must be self-energetic. That is the safest thing we can say without too much speculation.

  • Faith Or Reason?

    1142 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the question of faith and reason it is ridiculous to claim that God or any matter of the Divine may be proven by reason. And although I agree with the Bernard of Clairvaux on this one matter I agree for a different reason. He leaves the only answer to be faith. I do not think there is any true way to prove religious matters. Though it may be easy at times to disprove them with the use of reason, it becomes difficult to do so with faith. It is impossible to use faith and reason in conjunction with eachother. Faith is a belief in something that does not have reason, so therefore if something can be proved with philosophical reasoning there would be no reason to have faith except for in the case where reason does not answer the question. This reasoning equation, in the end, does not add up.

    For many, personal morality is something left unexamined except in difficult situations which runs contrary to Socrates great admonition. The prophet Isaiah wrote, “Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD.” This examination is healthy but a worthy discipline for every human being. My moral philosophy is derived from a creator God revealed through the person of Jesus Christ as revealed in the Bible.

Do we see its pages as the world’s greatest literary volume? Do we see the Bible as a secret disclosure of coming events and the consummation of the age? Do we see it as a tool to win arguments from a theological stand point? Or do we see it as fragments of truth that will confirm and strengthen our prejudices?
