The Truth Project: The Search of Truth

God is the representation of standards that exemplify the means of reality and morality. The character of God is the foundation for truly understanding the absolute truth of our existence, the purpose of our being, and the morals we must follow. The before Christ era’s identity admitted that the earth was a constant struggle for existence. The struggles are shown through fatality, ailment, misery, and natural disasters, but do not take away from the purity of morality. Atheists’ thriving argument against the Christian faith is the evidence of evil and the suffering people must endure. “If God is all good and God is all powerful, why does He allow evil to exist?” Everything was perfect and worked in perfect harmony. Genesis 1 verse 31 says, “ Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day,”(Gen, 1:31). The animals did not eat each other. Nothing could come to wipe out creatures. Creation was designed perfect until Adam’s rebelled against God. His actions brought about evil, death, and destruction into the world. Death is not an enemy, but a part of creation passing. “Without a foundation of an initially perfect creation, there is no foundation upon which to say that these natural evils are bad and contrary to God’s original purpose”(Broocks). God ultimately dealt with immorality through the shedding Jesus’ blood on the cross and providing an eternity without

Throughout the course of humanity’s history many questions have risen that have posed a problem to us as a species. Questions such as the following: What is the proper relationship between individuals and society? What is beauty, and why is it important? Is there purpose in human existence?, and many others have caused enough trouble in humanity’s short existence on the earth to cause a near identity crisis. However, all of these questions fall under the shadow of the main question that has been asked since the creation of Adam- “What exactly is the real relationship and purpose of humanity towards the divine?”

The consequences of accepting that the goodness of actions consists simply in the fact that God favours them are obviously disagreeable. However, the consequences of accepting the alternative also appear unfortunate. If it is maintained that God favours certain actions because they are objectively good, it seems that their goodness is independent of His will. But such a view appears to be inconsistent with the conception of God as the omnipotent creator and sustainer of all that is. It means that there is a realm of moral values which exist quite apart from God's creative will and to which His will must conform. Such a view must inevitably appear blasphemous to all those who believe in God, for it makes God out to be less than He is.

The belief that morality requires God remains a widely held moral maxim. In particular, it serves as the basic assumption of the Christian fundamentalist's social theory. Fundamentalists claim that all of society's troubles - everything from AIDS to out-of-wedlock pregnancies - are the result of a breakdown in morality and that this breakdown is due to a decline in the belief of God. This paper will look at different examples of how a god could be a bad thing and show that humans can create rules and morals all on their own. It will also touch upon the fact that doing good for the wrong reasons can also be a bad thing for the person.

When you look around and gaze at the beautiful creation before you, do you reflect on how amazing God is? God made the creation, man, and everything surrounding the two. There are many different worldviews. This paper will focus on the Christian worldview. The Christian worldview involves God, humanity, Jesus, and restoration.

But in a Christian’s religion they believe that there is a real and living God that can do everything for them, supply their needs, heal, guide and protect them. Their God can talk, hear and direct them in the right path; if they only accept and believe in him. Their religious opinions would lead them to unethical behavior and lower their ability to appreciate the cruel nature of their acts. We must turn the ethical principles to protect ourselves from narrow-minded and cruel religious practices. (Paul,

The relationship between man and God is a long and complex journey that has evolved for centuries. This divine and omniscient being has been a center piece for peoples' lives around the world. This single being is so powerful that he is able to make the sick feel strong and the poor feel rich. One being is worshipped around the world for his divine status. But what if he isn't as superior to humans as the world thinks? In the classic biblical works of literature, The Book of Job and Genesis, a new interpretation of God is presented in a form that is human in his relationship and actions with humans.

The question as to what it means to be human is often thought of as being the foundational question for almost all religions. Indeed, it can be argued that the religious impulse itself is first and foremost an impulse to understand the nature the meaning of life, and therefore of what it means to be human. Despite the importance of this question, the Bible provides relatively few answers, other than the idea that to be human is to be in some way close to God and to have been created by Him. This closeness and the nature of having been created has a variety of consequences which this paper will explore. These consequences that can be seen to be intensely positive but which also come with a heavy price and with a strict legality. Finally, they may also be shown to be entirely arbitrary and to position their unfathomable nature on the fact of having the 'created ' nature of a person.

To be human is to be essentially good, despite the capacity for disorder and sin.

We all grew up with tales of dragons and beasts, banished by knights and kings. Stories of righteousness against hellfire in a most innocent way. As we grow older we come to believe that along with our days of youth, we leave behind Disney tales of “good vs. evil”, and the proper notion of an uncomplicated “right or wrong” narrative becomes nothing more than an imprint of a faded memory of what defined the world. In a perfect world, that perspective would ring as gospel amongst the people of the world, and maybe then, and only then, would the world be “perfect”. Though many long for this sort of simplicity in the universe, this is simply not how the world is. Through our storytelling, and our own psychological necessity for an affixed dichotomy

Everything god does should be judge in terms of the reason behind the action rather than the direct visible effect of the action. (756

Being created in His image is what enables me to relate and serve others. As I engage in my analysis of my own personal view, I must demonstrate and offer a way to live a life that would be consistent with my notion and reality of a Christian life. If you are anything like me, PHL 205A has allowed me the opportunity to search within my soul and analyze what I now understand is my worldview; this topic has offered a comprehensive and understanding way on how to best distinguish my preconceived assumptions and notions about my worldview. In sharing the same faith we must understand and maintain that God is a purposeful God who created all human kind with the freedom to choose right from wrong. If we pay close attention and ultimately understand that Human life is meaningful, significant, and purposeful; then we are able to see God’s greatness, goodness, and

Man is good, but man is also bad. Good doesn’t override the bad and bad doesn’t override the good. You can not have light without darkness or darkness without light. It is the same with the good and bad sides of man. One can not exist without the other. The goodness of man should outweigh the bad but that is impossible. The true nature of man is good but that good can be easily tainted throughout life. The little acts of kindness throughout the world keep the evil at bay. Good and evil are at a balance but whether the true nature of man is ultimately good or ultimately bad comes down to each individual

Truth can be defined as conformity to reality or actuality and in order for something to be “true” it must be public, eternal, and independent. If the “truth” does not follow these guidelines then it cannot be “true.” Obviously in contrary anything that goes against the boundaries of “truth” is inevitably false. True and false, in many cases does not seem to be a simple black and white situation, there could sometimes be no grounds to decide what is true and what is false. All truths are a matter of opinion. Truth is relative to culture, historical era, language, and society. All the truths that we know are subjective truths (i.e. mind-dependent truths) and there is nothing more to truth than what we are willing to assert as true
