The belief in the Christian Gods existence has been a controversial issue for a very long time. The Holy Bible is a lot of things to a lot of people. To some‚ the Bible is a self-contradictory book about cultures from the distant past. Others‚ such as Christians‚ believe that it is a guide on how to live their daily lives and it is a source of inspiration. I personally believe that the existence of God is nonsensical.

are the true characteristics of a god? Is the role of god only to create‚ or does god control fate? Has god given us a purpose or are we just simply here for his entertainment? I feel to look into ones beliefs of god‚ one must think beyond the barriers of organized religion. There is most likely more to god than the average view a person usually holds. The universe must have been created by the same god that created man. If it were only man to be created by god‚ then who created the vast area outside

The Existence of God and Evil The problem of evil has been around since the beginning. How could God allow such suffering of his “chosen people”? God is supposedly all loving (omni-benevolent) and all powerful (omnipotent) and yet He allows His creations to live in a world of danger and pain. Two philosophers this class has discussed pertaining to this problem is B.C. Johnson and John Hick. Johnson provides the theists’ defense of God and he argues them.

“supremacy of God” is a section in the Constitution of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedom. It is said to be a preamble and not an exact part of the charter. The phrase in the charter states‚ “Canada is grounded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God” (Russell‚ Paul 1999). The article that I agree most with is the one written by Paul Russell. Russell’s article explains and goes into great detail about the supremacy of God. In addition‚ he explains how God is not just the “Christian God” but

GOD IS OUR CREATOR God is the creator of the whole universe and we are just his creations. Even though he is our creator he did not create us to be his puppets. He gifted us with a free will‚ giving us an option to live in a way that we chose. It is his greatest desire that we‚ being children of God‚ walk in a way that is pleasing in his sight but he does not impose it on us for he is a gracious‚ loving ‚ and compassionate God. He is slow to anger and abounding in love. Oh what a great father

Calvary Chapel Bible College The Pursuit of God A.W. Tozer OT310 Genesis Pastor Clark Van Wick If the “Roman’s Road” through Paul’s epistle can be described as a path to salvation‚ then A.W. Tozer’s book‚ “The Pursuit of God” could be described as a culmination of Biblical wisdom as to what to do with one’s salvation once he receives it. Now‚ to be sure‚ this book is not Gospel‚ but in much the same way as the Bible was written‚ the Holy Spirit has surely spoken through
