pious is dear to the gods and whatever is impious in not. But, not all Gods agree with each other, so he fails to answer Socrates question again. Euthyphro claims that all pious is loved by god and Socrates ask is an act pious because the gods love it or do the gods love an act because it is pious. Euthyphro agrees that god’s love pious acts because they are pious. The question remains unanswered. Euthyphro does not explain what makes an act pious.

The Euthyphro dilemma originates from the question Socrates asks Euthyphro in Plato’s Euthyphro dialogue. He asks “Is the pious loved by the god because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?”, in simpler terms, ‘Are morally good acts willed by God because they are morally good, or are they morally good because they are willed by God?’. This argument creates a huge dilemma for Divine Command theorists as their theory lies solely on the claim that morality is dependent on God’s

Testament and come across the books of Acts, you will be immersed with the Holy Spirit. God’s miraculous hands are placed upon the book of Acts. He is the only one that is able to give this book its meaning in the manner in which we are directed the message that He wants to portray to in our daily lives. Throughout the book of Acts, any reader of the Bible can give account as to what God’s movement throughout the church signifies. Luke shares with us throughout Acts how God sent his only beloved son, Jesus

has also been used when arguing about the existence of God. It has been argued that God’s existence is necessary based on the logic

the “Euthyphro” concerns itself with the virtuous concept of piety and pious acts. Socrates holds that in order to be considered an expert in piety, one must truly understand what it means to be pious. The desire to distinguish the pious from the impious leads to dialectical discussion ultimately resulting in Euthyphro’s proposition of three definitions, including the proposal that piety is what is loved by all of the Gods (9e). Whilst Euthyphro’s first definitions are immediately rejected by Socrates

Throughout the OT, God showed immense grace in everything He did: electing His people, initiating a covenant, and establishing divine kingship, as well as sustaining all three. Grace played a significant part in the Israelite history, and we begin our short study of the topic with three important Hebrew words used for different “grace” contexts. Hānan is the root word, meaning “to be gracious.” From this verb stems the word hēn, used a total of sixty-nine times in the OT. This type of grace shows

Apostle Peter Simon Peter was an apostle chosen by God. Peter was a fisherman; he would go out on the ocean with his brother Andrew and his partners James and John ( they are also apostles.) Simon Peter was made a fisher of men by God (Matthew 4:18-20.) When you look at everything that Peter did, you can see that God had a plan and a purpose for Peter. One of the most known events that has happened to Peter is when the experience of the " upper room" happened. The start of this experience

For Protestantism, the act of professing one’s sins to a priest for the Lord’s forgiveness – the Sacrament of Reconciliation – is a sacrament that is unnecessary and not instituted. Valid arguments are made in favour of avoiding confession. First most, only God can forgive sin; it is not man’s right to cleanse the eternal soul. Truthfully, God is truly the only one who can forgive us by his own authority of sin. The practise of forgiveness began through the Lord and should continue in an unique relationship

Although many versions of God exist, most of them follow the same formula. Namely, that God is a perfect, omniscient, omnibenevolent, omnipotent being. The existence of God has always been a hot topic of interest, particularly during medieval times. The existence of this perfect God however, poses a problem when considering evil. At first glance, it appears counterintuitive to believe in a world where a perfect being like God and an evil being like the Devil could coexist in the same reality. This
