key questions like what is the relationship between faith and knowledge? Is faith in god justified? Why? How?

12/6/13 Prof. Sharpe God has been a very important part of my live since I was a very little girl. When I was only a couple of months old I was baptized.

Like I said before God has been a very important part in my life for a very long time. Who is God? What are his characteristics? I believe that God is the person who created
sides. There are those who believe that it is a sin in God’s eyes and according to the Bible, and there are those who believe the God and the Bible are not specific to homosexuals. It is a tough debate based on whether you are a religious person, how you were raised, and where your morals and ethics stand. You cannot truly believe one way without taking into account the other side and have valid proof to back it up. Those who believe that homosexuality is wrong do so by quoting certain phrases
it is Rational to Believe that there is a God Rational: To be rational is to think logically and within reason. To base your thoughts on evidence, and then use that evidence to come to a "rational" conclusion. Motivation: To be motivated to do or think something, normally the motivation will be because it will benefit you in the long run.

what it means to be the Son of God, the three personal God, the relationship of God and time, the cost of being a Christian, how God works to turn us into image of Christ, why Christian growth is both hard and easy, and also what he thinks about our old personalities before becoming Christians.

Statement: To be a selfless and righteous woman of God, love him and others above myself, and to trust him beyond the wondering of my feet. II. Beliefs: 6-10 most important beliefs about God and the Bible. 1. God- I absolutely believe without a doubt that there is a God. I believe he is the creator of all that exist. He loves us, sinners above all of his other creations. “I, [even] I, [am] the LORD; and beside me [there is] no savior” (Isaiah 43:11). “but God shows his love for us in that while we were
I believe in God, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe God is my heavenly father for many reasons. I have seen god do great things. For example, he has created the Earth and everything within the Earth. He has risen from the tomb and he is alive. I praise and worship him because he has risen from the grave.

reason to believe in God, even though other people had beliefs that God is not real and his existence is not inconceivable. The Pascal’s Wager was a second-person communication. It showed that Pascal conceptualizes an individual forced to decide between the belief in God and not to believe in him.
