Essay About God
Trisha Anne R. Zamudio Philo 1 - WFY

As a Roman Catholic, I believe that God is our Creator and Father. I believe that He is One with Jesus Christ, His Son and the Holy Spirit in the Holy Trinity. I believe that He is a merciful and loving God who is the only one who knows what will happen to us in our future. I believe that He is merciful because He is always there to forgive us whenever we sincerely ask for it. Despite our sins, He accepts us and ensures that everything that happens to us is for our own good. Because of His mercy He gives us another chance to reconcile with Him so that in the end we will be with Him in Heaven. He is a loving God who even sacrificed His own Son for mankind and it is also because of this love that He has given us everything we could ask for. I believe that He is just and He treats everyone equally. Although He chose certain people who we now know as saints, He did for our own benefit as well so that they will intercede for us. I believe that He is present in our everyday lives through the Holy Spirit as our guide and counsel. I also believe that He answers our prayers and does miracles so that we could even more strengthen our faith in Him.

More importantly, I believe that even though I have not directly seen or experienced God in my life, I should not doubt Him because this is what my faith has taught me. To accept that even my mere existence is a manifestation of God’s own existence. That I am alive and well and I am able to do anything is because of God also. The blessings I have are also because of God thus my life too should be for Him. Other than what my faith dictates me to believe and all that I have, I have no other grounds for believing in

    Author Zora Neale Hurston weaves many powerful symbols into her acclaimed novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God. Hurston’s use of symbols enhances the reader’s understanding of the trials and tribulations along the road of self discovery for the story’s main character, Janie. Of the many symbols used throughout the novel, one in particular - Janie’s hair - is subtle yet striking as it gives us insight into Janie’s perceived social status, oppression, self identity, and her eventual independence through her self identity as a woman despite the social norms of the time period.…

    Evangelicals were beginning to ask questions concerning the ideas of Christianization and began embracing other ideas and arguments. These new ideas deconstructed the social expectations of those following the paradigms of this new millennial way of thinking with deconstructed expectations, challenging believers to consider the ideas of evangelical marginality. These new ideas lead to new expectations in missions and literal interpretation. Some of these arguments ultimately shattered denominational loyalties. These beliefs eventually fed into a new idea of pan-evangelical identity to welcome all types of evangelicals.…

    Christianity is an ancient religion that is centered on the teachings of Christ. The history of Christianity concerns the Christian religion, its followers and the Church with its various denominations, from the first century to the present. Christianity was founded in the 1st century in the Levant region of the Middle East by Jesus of Nazareth, who is prophesied in the Old Testament to be the Christ or chosen one of God. This religion has been around since 4BC-30AD (the time of Christ). The early Christians believed that there were seven heavens, one physically above the other. They also believed that god is Omni-present, rather than enthroned in the highest heaven. Like the latter, Christianity was originally a movement of oppressed people it first appeared as the religion of slaves and emancipated slaves of poor people deprived of all rights of peoples subjugated or dispersed by Rome.

    Patel’s lecture made me realize that it is critical to being a human being and living with other human beings to have an awareness and a great sense of respect for all religions. Not being aware of other religion’s practices is like walking through life with your eyes closed. It is not possible to be a well-rounded human being without taking the time to learn about religious traditions of multiple different religions. This is especially important if someone wants to travel to a different country or attend a new church that they have never been to before. According to Patel, people that plan on attending football games should have some sense of different religious practices. Religion is everywhere and if a person isn’t careful or knowledgeable,…

    The Existence of God

    • 441 Words

    The argument that I have chosen for this assignment and feel more comfortable using when trying to convince an open-minded non-believer in the existence of God, is number 19 “The Common Consent Argument.” In my own words this argument argues that it is common that all individuals worship, respect, and admire God, many individuals has had their wrong opinion and been wrong their beliefs, and that everyone should believe in God and that God really do exist. It argues that there is some kind of God is intrinsic or innate and has existed deliberately in almost the whole humankind in history and if God didn’t exist, then God wouldn’t be as popular as he is. The strengths of the argument are that individuals all over the world people in God and a common part of the lives of individuals and their daily lives. Two of the arguments weaknesses are that it does not show the differences in the actual existence of some form of God and the desire that individuals have for God. The belief well-known in God can reflect the existence of God or the desire of the community for a protective force to have an answer for the hard questions, such as what happens after death and the reasons why it thunders. Another weakness is that the argument fit into place in a reasonable misleading notion misleading notion that is known as the bandwagon misleading notion. The attributes of God supported by the argument are: “For believing in God is like having a relationship with a person”, “God really is there, given such widespread belief in him”, “God is the result of childhood fears, that God is a projection of our human fathers: someone up there can protect us from natural forces we consider hostile”, and “God must be a cosmic projection of our human fathers.” I think that the argument might affect the non-believer intellectually and emotionally, because there are so many individuals who have their own view and their own opinions on God, many who believe that God really do exist and many who…

    Do you believe in God? God is a being that no one has ever been able to prove exists. When someone chooses to believe in God; that decision is based solely on their faith. It is a decision that someone decides in their heart, which is often based on experiences in their life; whether they are simply personal experiences or religious ones. It is not a secret to anyone that God has never been be seen, heard, nor touched by any living human according to history and the present day. Though, the bible gives the personal testimonies of many righteous men of God’s goodness and existence, how can one prove that to be true? According to Nils Ch. Raught (2007) “If [an] argument from religious experiences is to be successful, we must focus our attention on those religious experiences that closely resemble ordinary perceptual experiences” (p. 180). So, I…

    Deciding if an action is moral can vary greatly depending on which theory is applied in order to make a decision. A Divine Command Theorist would evaluate morality by consulting religious or sacred texts and by possibility consulting a religious authority on said texts. Through this approach the Divine Command Theorist would be looking for guidance from the “word of God” on the matter. A Natural Law Theorist on the other hand would attempt to decide if an action is moral by deciding the action's purpose and how it fits with the natural working order of the world, this idea is often coupled with the influence of religion as it's ideas are incorporated into many religions like Christianity. They would try through their version of science to…

    I am a person of doubt. I am a person with too much confusion. I am a Christian and Catholic by birth. I barely attend masses for I don’t believe on priests but not all. To be honest, I really find it hard to make this essay. I think I’ve tried it for five times but I always end up erasing the lines and start again a new one. I really don’t know what to say in it. It’s a tough one for me, really. Yes, I’m not good in essays but this one makes it more difficult for me since I choose to be quiet whenever the topic is about God. I don’t think if I’m writing the right one but I’m pretty sure that I will still be able to answer the question if I do believe in God.…

    To everyone, God is a question of concern. There are people who are very religious and cherish Him, and there are people who don't believe in Him. Some people know God only as a character in a Bible. Many people around the world talk about feeling the presence of God. Many say "God is on my side." As a member of a Catholic family, I believe that there is really a God. He may be intangible but I can assure that there is His presence. I grew up doing Christian practices - praying, going to church, celebrating Christian holidays, and celebrating Christmas. My parents thought me Christian values and Christian ethics and they sent me to a Catholic school during my childhood that's why I grew up believing that there is really a God.…
