Comparing Jude's Views On Sodom And Somorrah
Sodom and Gomorrah serve as an example by undergoing eternal fire, because they perverted God into sensuality. The book of Jude warns us to be aware false teachers have infiltrated the church. He talks to this generation.
Contend for the faith - our system of belief.
A doctrinal and a theological problem we have are in the church. Faith is being a part of Gods family in Heaven on earth. Having power and a Holy Spirit in you and not an evil one.
The unbelievers will scoff at the truth, they don't believe God is Sovereign. They have an evil heart.
The world doesn't believe they will be accountable.
These are the ones that are devouring the sheep.
Time to call what's wrong is wrong, and what's right is right, and not what is wrong is right,

    History is noticeably impacted by a number of things such as wars, rulers, economies, or pieces of art. However, what impact does faith have on history? In Martin Luther’s case, faith had a huge impact on history. While Luther struggled with the teachings of the Catholic Church, he defined what he believed was God’s intention was for believers when it comes to salvation by deeds versus salvation by faith by writing “The 95 Theses”. Martin Luther’s faith shining through “The 95 Theses” impacted him to change the direction of the history of the church drastically.…

    Faith is confidence or trust in a person, thing, deity, or in the doctrines or teachings of a religion or view. The word faith is often used as a synonym for hope, trust or belief. In religion, faith often involves accepting claims about the character of a deity, nature, or the universe. While some have argued that faith is opposed to reason, proponents of faith argue that the proper domain of faith concerns questions which cannot be settled by evidence. A broader definition for faith is when person believe that something may happen regardless of circumstances around them, that faith something that gives assurance of what we do not see. Fundamentally, in both religious and non-religious contexts, faith is “trust” in something or someone.…

    Does faith have a legitimate link to science and the methods by which we gain knowledge and understanding? Some would be quick to reply that just as our government has placed a dividing line between churches and state that science and the Bible do not mix. But from a Christian perspective how can we say the same when we understand the foundation of all truth comes from God. In Colossians 1:16 in the Amplified Bible it reads: “For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him” (Bible Gateway, 2012). In Revelations 4:11 it reads, “Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and dominion, for You created all things; by Your will they were [brought into being] and were created” (2012). If God is the created of all things, and science its methods and how we obtain knowledge and learn are a function of God’s work in us, how can we say the two are separate entities unto themselves. Really we cannot. This Paper will examine these very facts and methods as they pertain to man and God and what the correlation is between Science, faith, man and God.…

    Faith is the concept of having complete trust or confidence in someone or something. Faith is a very powerful concept of the mind. It can influence a person to act in ways never thought possible. One’s beliefs may be so important to them that they may even be the center of that person’s life. Take Elie Wiesel, for example. He was a very religious person during his lifetime, let alone his youth. He would talk about his desire as a young boy to go and study Kabbalah whenever the opportunity presented itself. He loved the religion, and his faithfulness for it was one of the reasons why he was strong enough to make it out of the Holocaust alive.…

    The word faith refers to a religion itself or to religion in general with the confident belief or trust in truths of trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing. To have faith is to have and show complete trust of confidence with firm beliefs, even without logical proof. When people have a religious belief of spiritual apprehension of divine truth apart from proof; they have faith. Faith can also be a duty or commitment to fulfill a trusted promise with things believed or to be believed. Reason is to concern oneself with a supposed ability to cure medical illnesses by faith rather than a medical treatment within a hospital by a doctor. Showing faith of loyal trustworthy manner is what most people around the world believe in religious and non-religious traditions.…

    With a church on just about every corner it is clear that faith is crucial in our society. Faith keeps our moral compasses pointing in the right direction and gives us something to believe in when all hope has vanished. It keeps us linked to one another in a monumental way, providing us a more socially responsible attitude. We as humans have faith that whatever “higher power” or “God” we believe in is watching out for us. There is a “plan” in everything we endure; nothing is…

    Mabry, 1998, p2). According to Hubmaier’s study of God, either one or the other or both understandings of faith is presupposed. Protestant reformers of Hubmaier’s time, like leaders Luther and Zwingli believed faith was essential for salvation, the sacraments, and the living of Christian life. While he agreed with them, he insisted that faith was necessary for baptism, with emphasis upon the fact that faith (at least in the initial belief stage) as some kind of mental, intellectual, reasoning capacity within human beings, in such a way that one must hear the gospel which comes on him or her through the Word of…

    1. According to Hauser what are the main challenges to the faith today? According to Hauser, “It is a question of conviction – do we really believe that only in the mystery of the Word made flesh does the mystery of man truly become clear (cf. Gaudium et Spes, 22)? Are we ready to commit our entire selves – intellect and will, mind and heart to God?” These are essential questions that stand at the foundation of any Catholic education. In a special way the study of theology reflects a Catholic university’s commitment to the faith of the Church and the truth of the human person. Theology is described by St. Anselm as “faith seeking understanding.” And since the content of the faith is Christ, theology is an examination of this truth, the one truth, the truth of Christ. But does this truth and commitment to this truth really guide Catholic higher education today in the multiple aspects of it life? Are these institutions of higher learning really committed to the truth of Christ and the mission of the Church? I believe Hauser is also saying that the theologians of today have been unable to meet the demands of both the teaching of the true faith AND answering the challenges of today’s society. Hauser continues, “It could be argued that the foundation for a solution to this tension has been laid by Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, who in their writings defend and articulate the faith and its significance for modern life. Yet the academy, imbued with the skepticism of such authority rejects it as narrow and retreats to the insular world where they are king. Many argue that Catholic higher education can best serve the world by returning to her origin.” In effect, the Church seems stuck in the past as she tries to maintain her sense of self and purpose. Additionally, when one doesn’t get the answers one needs, in this world of rush and hurry, one tends to become uninterested and move on to where the answers seem to be, even if that…

    Knowing God

    Theology is "the instruction concerning God" or "the deliberation of God."(Grenz, 2000, p.2) It endeavors to disclose the identity of God, the habitation of God, and the character, origin, position and importance of God. Humans commonly acquire information in three ways: through their senses, through their logic/reasoning, and through their faith which denotes confidence in the information given by another.(www.angelfire.com/nt/theology/theology/02rev.html) Theologians posit that knowledge of God is acquired through divine self-disclosure, e.g., God reveals Himself to humans. He does so by means of general revelation and special revelation. This paper will explain how the doctrine of revelation, general, reveals the issue of knowing God; provide the origins of knowledge: and furnish the challenges confronted in acquiring knowledge of God. In addition, it will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of identifying truth about God through general revelation.…

    Is theology disconnected to authentic faith in Christ? Or better yet, are theologians simply confusing Christians and missing Jesus? These themes and questions are thoroughly unpacked and dissected in Stanley Grenz and Roger Olson book Who Needs Theology. In fact, they point out that every person is indeed a theologian by stating, “No one who reflects on life's ultimate questions can escape theology. And anyone who reflects on life's ultimate questions-including questions about God and our relationship with God-is a theologian.”1…

    The most common failing in defining religion is in failing to account for the many different nuances and possible expressions of religion (Molloy, 2013). One possible definition of religion is a unified set of beliefs, shared among a group, to connect with an idea of the sacred. This definition may be discounted due to its lack of reference to the worship of the divine; however not all religions are focused on the worship of a divine (Molloy, 2013). Another objection to the proposed definition is the requirement of a group. Requiring that a group hold the beliefs, however, can be said to what separates personally held faith and religion. The separation of faith and religion is vital to the study of religion because, even within a single religion, the privately held faith can change from one individual to the other. Lastly, this definition, by relying solely on the beliefs rather than the rituals, symbolism, and myths, allows for the existence of religions that may lack them, so long as the group shares the underlying beliefs of the religion.…
