Being Is Not Everything : The Importance Of Becoming Nothing

God created the universe, the earth and all life on earth. God’s characteristics are that he is a loving source who looks out for his people, whom believe in him and who follow his word. God has all the wisdom and peaceful intentions for his people. God created everything from the Universe, to the animals to human life as well as all life on earth, God created it all (Letellier, 2015). God is the creator of all life and the universe as well as all that exist within his creation.

The question of God’s existence has been pondered by humans for centuries. There are an infinite number of different opinions, arguments, and ideas favoring for or against the idea of God. Personally, I strongly believe in God not only due to my religious affiliation, but also because of my own opinions, ideas, and experience. To begin with, the complexity of Earth and the life that has formed upon it cannot be based just on luck or chance. I believe that ultimately God, as a power, rather than a mystical being is the one created and controls the universe. Although the God and his authority are not entirely comprehensible by humans, it’s our faith as worshiper that eventually lead us to a greater understanding.

God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and all powerful. God was in existence before the very universe we live in. He was the first thing and will be the last thing according to all that is taught about him. What if all we know, learn, and teach about God is wrong? What if God is just something, someone a long time ago made up to give people hope, to instill fear in them, and to give people a better sense of morals? What if the time of God is gone? What if God is dead?

Who is God? God is the creator of all according to the Christian worldview. As Christians we believe that God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Diffey, 2015, Ch. 3) We trust that God be existent in three persons. After reading the Genesis chapters, I understood that God

God created the universe and all parts thereof. God is separate from his creation. God rules over his creation. The creation of the universe is a gift from God, ruled by God. God is transcendent.

“In the God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) God existed before all of His creation, therefore He is the sovereign creator. He created all to be good in His perfect wisdom. Though God is invisible, He has several distinct characteristics; compassionate, faithful, infinite, just, wise and all-powerful.

God is our creator; He came before us and created the universe as we know it. “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth”

Martin Heidegger stated, criticizing the “wrong” path that western philosophy deviated to, that people understood “being” only in the superficial sense. The advancements in mathematics and natural sciences along the millennia always pre-assumed that being was a known phenomenon and never bothered to explore its true nature; bypassing the herculean task, we never delved into what “Ontos” really

God has been believed to be that being which is all good, all knowing, and all powerful. St. Thomas Aquinas in, The Five Ways—Question II, Third Article, responds to two specific objections which aim to prove God’s nonexistence. The first objection rests upon the notion that if one of two contradictions are infinite, the other cannot possibly exist. That is to say, if God does exist, there would be no evil in the world because God is believed to be infinitely good. If he were all good, all knowing, and all powerful, he would be more than capable of creating and maintaining a world in which no evil exists.

The dichotomy of being and nothingness is a new version of platonic and cartesian dualism with several severe qualifications.

There have been debates whether God is exist since the beginning of time. Many people claim many different things. There say there are three models of ultimate reality: Materialism, Pantheism, Transcendence. Transcendence is the only Ultimate Reality. Transcendence is that there is a perfect being (God). He created the universe. He is not the universe. In Christianity we believe we die physically and when Jesus Christ returns we will be resurrected and join Him and God in the perfect Heaven. God has given us the Bible so that we know right from wrong.

If there is a God, then who God is, by the way? Those who believe in God have always questioned the Supreme Being in whom they believed day by day. Eventually, they start to make the answers to their curiosity. The first

(A1) Is how we plan on defining God in this world. By saying he is an omni-being we are assuming this God has three attributes. First we say that he is omnipotent ie; all-powerful. Second we say that he is omniscient or in other words he is all

What is nothing? i’ve never seen nothing, I’ve never heard nothing, i’ve never felt nothing, and I’ve never thought of nothing. So then what is nothing? Nothing is a belief that we think of ourselves and that we may think of others. Nothing is an excuse to give for not writing that essay or buying anything you want. Some people make nothing apart of their lives when we don’t know what to do. If you’re nothing then why are you sitting there reading this paper. If you can’t hear, feel, see or think of anything, doesn’t that make you a robot? If you think that you are nothing, then make yourself a something, don’t sit there and do nothing get up and do something about it. And know matter how much you tell it to yourself you are not nothing.

The existence of God has been in question for as long as mankind has existed and thought logically. Many questions have plagued the human mind in regards to God, and there have been many arguments drawn with the hopes of proving the existence of a supreme being whom we know as God. The “God” question has been presented to every individual at some point in their lives. It is a topic that will bring forth never-ending questions and an equal amount of attempted answers. Many philosophers have formulated different rationales when examining the topic of God, some of which include how the word itself should be defined, what his role is in human existence, whether or not he loves us, and ultimately, if he even exists at all. Mankind cannot
