Christian faith

The principles are for continual growth and elevation for Christians. The instructions in The Bible are not only for guidance is a comforting and strengthening agent. Given this statistic, this could be an additional reason why God created mankind in His image to take part in on other wonderful helpful contributions

we try to use when making decisions. However, when a person encounters a difficult dilemma, that choice can impact and even alter a person’s life. “Good People” by David Foster Wallace is an informative and insightful story of a young, unwed, Christian couple that are facing the conflicts of an unplanned pregnancy. Although outwardly this story seems to focus on “to abort” or “not to abort,” the underlying theme focuses on the internal conflicts the young man faces when weighing out the consequences

The film, Silence, has a myriad of characters that are on a spectrum of religious belief. There are certain characters that show an immense devotion to their faith, willing to risk their life and the lives of others to profess their fidelity to God. Although this film highlights two Jesuit priests, Father Sebastian Rodrigues and Father Francisco Garupe, there is an interesting contrasting devotion from the Inquisition to Buddhism. They have no tolerance for Christianity and believe it to be a cancer

the Judeo-Christian God, believed by Christians in modern day society. The belief of God has always existed among humans, however, assuming God does not exist, what explains the cultural evolution of such a false belief, namely religion? I shall argue that the reason this false belief is successful is because it manipulates human nature better than any other belief by these three points: an avoidance of death (the soul), a sense of worth (knowledge), and a sense, or need of belief (faith). This

Some people are made fun of for even being religious. People should be able to practice their faith in their own way, and should be respected for it. Many people challenge others on their religious beliefs. Back in High School, there was this teacher that challenged me every time that I walked into class. We practiced the same Roman Catholic faith. One day She always told me that I was practicing my faith the wrong way. In my opinion, Religion should be practiced

once we reach the start of adulthood we become exposed to the new alternatives life has to offer. Within today’s growing culture, students are rather susceptible to the loss their religious beliefs whether due to secular distractions or the loss of faith. Although some critics may challenge my views by insisting otherwise, I on the other hand, find students becoming distant and questioning those same principles that help mold them into the adults that they are today. There is no definite definition

I have to admit that my undaunted convictions as a Christian on issues such as gay rights, the right to die, abortion, and many others have been steadfast, that is until now. With all that I’ve said, and all that I’ve done, the question of whether I truly trust God has become “the” issue. To quote a question that was asked in a discussion many, many years back; “Does having a gun denote I have NO trust that God will protect me?” I’ve often wondered in the issue of “gun control”, are we actually

Texas with a jewish mom and an atheist dad was wildly unheard of and slightly unconventional. Texans are famous for two major slogans, the first being “Come and get it” from the Texas revolution, and the second being “Just being a good christian” from every christian i have ever met. I came out of the womb retaliating against conformity along with religion, i didn't understand the need to associate a good deed with christianity when the reality is that people do good things out of humility and for

What makes individual religions unique or are they even unique to begin with? Are all religions pointing to the same god or do they all have their own gods? Why is it that different religions share some of the same attributes, whereas others are distinctly different? When discussing what one believes people often get defensive believing that learning about other religions or even different views from the same religion is going to harm them in some way. However, in reality, these questions should

what other countries think of America’s religious stand points. Yes, America was raised on Christian principles, but with the freedom of religion, individuals or communities, can manifest religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance. Many countries don’t have this particular freedom. Therefore, America is a country that is allowed to practice many faiths and does not have one set faith for the entire country.
