    “Father, Son and Holy Spirit” is a common phrase in the Christian faith. Who are these people and what do they represent? These three people are separate people, but represent one God. The concept of the Trinity creates a lot of debate, because some skeptics think that the Trinity is either Monistic or Pagan. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three separate beings that represent one God, and this can be seen in different passages in the Bible. Is the Trinity Monistic or a Pagan grouping of Gods

    to non-believers. God is composed of three different beings, but one cannot be seen. The Bible states that the three forms of God are: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and all three are equivalent in power. Then again, the Bible also states there is only one God. The trouble of this issue is not that the Trinity is mysterious, but rather that the Bible is unpredictable with its description of the Trinity. But yet, we must believe in the Trinity if we choose to follow God. Although skeptics

    herders. God forges His chosen people from the outcasts of humanity. In forging a people of His own, God is named their Father. He is called such in the Old Testament in two distinct ways. First, as specifically the God of Israel. Second, The Father of Israel’s king. Explicit notions of God as the Father of Israel number nine, while He is mentioned as the Father of the King five times. There are many times in which Israel is called the son of, or the Israelites are called the children of, God. The

In the Bible, mortals often have direct contact with God, who is seen as a father figure. In contrast, divine communication in Oedipus the King comes in the form of oracles and prophets, which are seen as an abstract entity. While both God and the Oracles have the same intent of guiding and advising those involved, individuals were more apt to listen to divine communication

    secularized town of Ireland. However, at the same time, the director says that he wanted to make a movie about “a good priest.” It seems to me that what Father James pleads with his colleague Father Leary tells the viewer what being a good priest means: “integrity.” In my configuration of the plot, over the two weeks of time, Father James learns to be a good priest, who can genuinely empathize with the life stories of his parishioners, and, in so doing, leads them to authentic forgiveness (or
