Research Post – God’s ability to know evil

By bola1095 | May 3, 2012

The journal that i have chosen is in relation to God’s supposed omnipotence, benevolence, and omniscience.  The post goes along the arguments that if God is all-good, that he cannot truly know evil (or fear) because an all good being could not fully understand evil as it goes against the all-good divine nature.  If God [...]

Monday 200 – I thought all dogs went to heaven

By bola1095 | April 30, 2012

The readings for this week were discussions between 3 people, a skeptic (Steve), a materialist (Mary), and a dualist (Dave, i think his name was).
During their discussion Dave began to talk about his views, he mentioned that he believed that the soul and the mind were two separate things, and that they were both non-physical. [...]

Second Graded Post – Hell instead of Heaven House Party

By bola1095 | March 30, 2012

The problem of Hell was recently discussed in our class, the main discussion being, of course, how a so-called onibenevolent God could allow for such an atrocious place. I thought that we came up with a few good explanations that can help to understand how it can be this way. One of them being that [...]

By bola1095 | March 1, 2012

In class on Monday, we discussed the idea of the perfectly loving being (meaning god) and the requirements necessary for perfect love to exist. There was a lot of confusion in the class because this theory seemed very odd. I think one of the main problems was the need for a perfectly loving being to [...]

By bola1095 | February 17, 2012

In class we discussed the idea of Jesus being fully divine and fully human, trying to figure out how this could be. We came up with a few ideas involving characters and creatures from various television shows that shared similar atributes, such as Alien X from Ben 10, and the goa’uld (i’m pretty sure that [...]

By bola1095 | February 10, 2012

We recently had readings that gave a lot of opinion on guilt, the process of forgiveness, the acts that require forgiveness, etc. Guilt is a very interesting feeling; as i read the articles i couldn’t stop remembering various times when i felt guilty, even if i was innocent, or ignorant of the actual crime.  How [...]

C.S. Lewis – Understanding various beliefs

By bola1095 | February 2, 2012

There was a part of the second C.S. Lewis reading that i found particularly entertaining. It was the very beginning when he began to talk about atheists and religious persons in relation to each other. He said that being a christian doesn’t mean that you have to find complete fault in the other religions, but [...]
