False Assumptions: The Teachings Of Kristine And Jonathan
This is more than disagreement, and it's not just about a personal issue with Kristine and Jonathan, they're not the only ones who haven't fully heard me and responded based on assumptions. In the last year I've been accused of being "heretical" of being "antinomian" of being "a false teacher" of being "a biblicist who goes around arguing against sound biblical and historical theology" of being "outside of God's will" of denying "the very thing Christ instituted" etc., and those false accusations came from fellow Christians, two of them I know are pastors. If you're like me and are naive (or rather foolish) enough to speak your mind and or to reveal your heart, the accusations and assumptions follow and then; they ignore as though I'm not even

    Unbroken: Hillenbrand’s Argument

    The argument an author makes is not the easiest thing to pick out, particularly when the book is written about the life of someone else. I believe Hillenbrand’s main argument is that people can change their behaviors based on current situations and the environment they are in. Louie Zamperini grew up as a trouble maker. He thieved from neighbors’ kitchens and generally caused mayhem wherever he went. When propaganda regarding eugenics started to surface and a child from his neighborhood was declared to be feeble-minded, Louie resolved to clean up his act and make himself a better person. As Louie grew up, he transformed into an All-American track star and eventually a hero in the United States Air Force. Before becoming the hero Louie Zamperini is now known as, he struggled with his transformation from hoodlum to trackstar to hero. After the threat of being declared feeble-minded, Louie had realized that the hoodlum everyone knew, was not who he wanted to be. “The person that Louie had become was not, he knew, his authentic self. He made hesitant efforts to connect to others” (Hillenbrand 12). Louie Zamperini had reached the age that everyone hits. He had reached the age where he was beginning to realize what type of person he wanted to be and how he wanted to be remembered. Louie changed for the better. I believe that Hillenbrand used the book and Louie’s transformation to stress her feelings on the subject. Anyone who knew Louie prior to reading Hillenbrand’s book would have agreed that he stayed strong even in the worst of circumstances.…

    Summary: The False Promises

    My news editorial is The False Promises in President Trump's Tax Plan by the New York Times written in Aug 30 2017. This article is about (as expected) the false promises in Trumps tax plan. There are a few subtle examples about the authors opinions such as placing somewhat unneeded negative descriptions and a caricature of Donald trump dropping a giant pile of tax documents on helpless victims (clearly biased). The author might feel so strongly because they are in the middle class and were jealous of the top 1 percent savings of about 175k while only saving about 0.8k themselves. In contrast, most small business owners love Trumps tax plan because they think they will get that 175 grand off. Although I am biased on this topic I still…

    Apol 104

    The Christian gospel is perceived in our culture as “confusion” or that Christians consider themselves to be greater than people of other religions. The one that bothers me is that Christians are hypocrites and that Christians say one thing and do another. Some of the perception are well grounded because Christians, especially carnal Christians have a tendency to package the gospel in a way that would benefit them instead of bringing others to inquire about the word of God.…

    The Christian Paradox Analysis

    In his essay „The Christian Paradox”, Bill McKibben points out the hypocrisy of how Americans perceive religiousness and Christianity. The author achieves that through comparing the teachings of the Holy Bible with incontestable data, mostly statistics. He provides a fascinating inside into the state of devotion in the United States—people of America have wandered off the path dictated by Jesus, and even deformed it for their own purposes, while still claiming their devotion to God—which makes for a powerful point in a discourse on the state of Christianity in the country with such a long history of achieving success through hard work.…

    Jonathan Edwards

    As I read the scriptures one evening I came across a passage in 2 Timothy 2 in my devotions that evening and upon reading verses 23-24 I was cut deep to the heart. “Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil,” I was instantly reminded of an argument I had earlier in the day with a professor. It was not just about that argument it was more about my attitude with this professor at all times. I had prided myself on being argumentative with him all year even laughing with classmates about arguments I would instigate just for fun. I loved God so deeply and had such an honest fear of God that I knew this needed to change. I went to school differently the next day. I apologized to my professor and did not enter arguments with this professor but submitted to him as I submitted to God.…

    Analysis of James: The Will to Believe

    In this article by William James, it is clear that he criticizes the views of William Kingdon Clifford, who argued in The Ethics of Belief, that it is always wrong to believe anything for which the evidence is insufficient. James on the other hand thinks that occasionally despite what evidence points to, that if true beliefs are more important, then believing without strong evidence may be sufficient. James then goes on to describe that a hypothesis is anything that may be proposed to our belief. First he distinguishes between a live and dead hypothesis. A live hypothesis according to James “is one which appeals as a real possibility to him to whom it is proposed…It refuses to scintillate with any credibility at all. As an hypothesis it is completely dead…the hypothesis is among the mind's possibilities: it is alive.” James states that “this shows that deadness and liveness in an hypothesis are not intrinsic properties, but relations to the individual thinker.” James then states that there is a decision between two hypotheses and options. The three options are, living or dead, forced or avoidable, and momentous or trivial. Living is personally meaningful, forced is mutually exclusive, and momentous is involving potentially important consequences.…

    False Views On The Gospel

    The Gospel is the “Good News” that Jesus Christ who was sinless sacrificed His life in order to pay the debt for our sins and restore our relationship with God. It is by faith that we receive salvation and not by our works. But unfortunately, there are quite a few false views on the Gospel. Some of these false views include the teachings of Islam, Jehovah Witnesses, Latter Day Saints/Mormons.…

    Paul Tillich The Dynamics Of Faith

    When it comes to discussing science and religion, people normally do not combine the two and this is because of their different characteristics. Religion is open for interpretation and diverse, while science is rigid and precise. Unlike science, religion is often difficult to explain or prove. Religion is a compilation of many theories composed of believed stories passed down through word of mouth or by book, but other than people saying that it is real there is no way of proving religion’s authenticity. Science on the other hand is experimental and proven through data collected. Science can explain complex processes of the world using chemistry, biology, physics, etc. The theories that stem from those subjects can be argued, but they are argued…
