I believe in God. I follow him and trust him to lead me through life and I am not alone. Almost everyone has created a spiritual god within their minds to turn to in times of need or simply to make sense of unanswered questions. “The desire for guidance, love, and support prompts men to form the social or moral conception of God.” – Albert Einstein
Men, meaning humans in general, desire guidance. They want someone to look up to, take after, someone who will help lead them through life when they are unsure of what to do. It is simply human nature. Many come across times when there is not always someone there willing to guide you and, therefor has led to the formation of a spiritual God to fulfill these desires.
An obvious desire of everyone is love. We spend our whole lives looking for it and when it cannot be found where do we go? We turn to God to make us feel loved. We turn to God to make us feel like we are wanted. We know this love will always be there no matter what. It won’t fade as we get older or disappear when we are at our lowest. The best thing about this love from God is that it is a safe love. One where we know our hearts will not get broken and we won’t be forgotten because God is always there.
Something it is almost impossible to get through life without is support. We depend on support from our friends, family, and God to help us when we are our weakest. The support from our friends and family may sometimes not be strong enough, or even
Ethnics and Moral Reasoning Instructor Mark Cohn January 21, 2013 We don’t need proof of God existence. Growing up in a Baptist family I was always told that we are protected by a higher power. The higher power to some is known as God. It has been many debates on whether God really exist. I ask my parent’s one day how do we really know if it is a God when we cannot see him? I was told in order to believe in God we have to have faith. According to Collins English Dictionary the definition of faith…
interesting questions in the world is, “If a God exists, why is there evil in the world?” Most people respond with, “If God created the universe and us, then there should not be evil in the world,” when asked about God or any other powerful being. The problem of evil is also believed to be the cause of Atheism, and I do believe that there is a solution for this. The problem of evil is not a correct argument. The arguments from evil state that if there is a God who is omniscient, omnipotent and perfectly…
Pascal’s Wager: To Believe or Not to Believe? The mathematician, physicist, and philosopher Blaise Pascal is famous, among other reasons, for his wager-argument for God. Pascal’s wager treats belief in God as a choice to believe or to not believe. Either God exists or he does not. By believing that he does exist one receives salvation. However, by believing he does not exist one receives eternal punishment. In other words, by breaking down this wager one is able to perceive what he or she risks…
Tatianna Armfield Religion Versus Life 1) What do you think is the most significant aspect of your religion? God created the world and has made us to be like Him. However, in doing so we have sinned and so therefore, God sent Jesus who was perfect and sinless, to die upon a cross for us, If we believe that we can be saved and be perfect and we can have eternal life. That is the most fundamental aspect because this is basically one of the most significant reasons Christianity is all about…
- Theism: Belief in one God. (58) - Atheism: Rejection of belief in God. (56) - Agnosticism: In between to make the decision about the existence or non-existence of God. (54) - Indifference: Does not care about whether God exists or not. (53) - Freedom as compared with commitment: Ironically, the freedom costs the time and effort to find out the options and once you make a decision, you must commit to do it. (1) - The God Question: It is the question on whether God exists or not. The answers…
Schmidt English 104-27 22 October 2012 God Gives You a Choice Does God truly exist? This question is a huge topic that is discussed everyday between many individuals. The truth is, the only person who can come up with that answer is one’s own self. Right now, I am battling what I should believe in, or if there is anything to believe in at all. This is such a controversial topic to think about because nobody knows the true answer. You can only believe or have faith in what you decide is true…
Is God? In our global society there are many religions, faiths and theories that are dedicated to this thing we call God. Sometimes God is just a single being such as the God in the Christian faith, or Allah in the Muslim faith. Sometimes this God is made up of several beings, like in the Hindu faith or many ancient faiths like Ancient Greek, where each god is responsible for different tasks or elements. But to keep this paper simple this being, (or is it a being?) will be referred to as God. The…
argument between the existence of god and the non-existence has existed since begin of time. Atheism is the disbelief of god or a higher power. A lot of atheists go off the fact that there is no physical proof that god exists. They use the example of the invisible gardener. How can one take care of one’s creation, without any evidence of its presence. Without any solid evidence one cannot prove the existence of god. The belief of the Theists is that a god exists and a plan for all that exists…
beliefs that I posses that is the foundation of my belief system, therefore I have founded a church called the San Joaquin Valley Bible Church that possess these same beliefs. I will do a comparative study of my eight foundational beliefs with that of the Hindu religion. First of all my eight foundational beliefs are as follows: • I believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible written Word of God • I believe that there is One God, eternally existent in Three Persons; God the Father…
The Existence of God Proof of Gods existence has always been a question I often ponder about. Almost everyone at some particular point in his or her life has challenged the existence of God. This may happen for a number of reasons. For example he or she might have been at a point in their life when their faith alone was just not enough for them to believe. Humans have a natural instinct to find reasons for events that can’t be explained. Whether or not God exists has risen to conflict and caused…
