argument that if an omnibenevolent and omnipotent God were to exist‚ he would not condone the apparent suffering and evil that takes place. This argument was first proposed by the Greek philosopher Epicurus who devised: “Is God willing to prevent evil‚ but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able‚ but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” One explanation for this is that the evil

In Mad Dogs by Douglas Raybeck I read chapter ten Sunstroke. In this chapter Raybeck is stricken by luck that was not foreseen in one major way and a couple of others as well. This unexpected pot of gold he has been searching for was stumbled upon when accompanying a friend Yusof Ismail that has been consistently asking if not begging to come visit his parents in the village of Kampong Paru-Paru.

Mary‚ Mother of God When did Christianity truly begin? The answer to this question is often thought to be the day that Jesus Christ was born. The fact of the matter is that Christianity essentially began the day the Blessed Virgin Mary was born. This young woman was the first human being to be born without original sin. She was chosen to be the vessel that linked the two Covenants. Without Mary‚ a messiah would not have been born. It would be impossible to imagine a sacred history without her. She

Response Paper-Evolution v. Creationism I believe the theory of creationism to be a more valid explanation for the creation of the universe as well as mankind. My faith leads me to believe that the earth was created by means of catastrophic events versus changes over time. Gish discusses creation with the word “catastrophism”‚ a theory that suggests “the earth has been affected in the past by sudden‚ short-lived‚ violent events‚ possibly worldwide in scope.” He further defines evolution as “uniformitarianism”

The Existence of Evil and God In this paper I will argue that the existence of evil does not prove that a God does not exist. For many people the existence of evil and suffering is their number one objection to the existence of God. At times the evil that we see is so pointless.

It is difficult for us to understand why God would allow some things to happen‚
