“Ang Lumang Paintbrush” is a well-known short film by artist Joey Velasco. “Ang Lumang Paintbrush” talks about how he, with a very old paintbrush, maximized his talents for the Lord. The artist is in search for the perfect man to paint for his painting, a remake of the famous painting “The Return of the Prodigal Son”. In the short story, the man, Mang Crispin, whom Joey Velasco has chosen was a bit cold towards him and Joey indeed had a very hard time putting up with Mang Crispin. One day, the Mang

2. Briefly summarize the problem of evil and suffering. Cite and reference Chapter 9 in the textbook. “Suffering can come in many forms, but, at some point, everyone will suffer deep pain or loss—it is an unavoidable fact of being human (Sharpe, 2014).” The main problem of evil and suffering is why would a good and just God allow so much evil and suffering in our world. If God loves us so much, why would he let bad things happen to good people? 3. Briefly summarize the Christian

When I think of theology I think of the word of God, God, Jesus and religion. I think when you study theology you are studying what and who God truly is. I also know that when you study God you have to study his son and the thing that he did while walking this earth. Jesus did some remarkable things in that time. All these thing are a part of who God is. Christianity is what We are taught. It is what we that believe in and follow the Lord learn on Sundays and when we study his word. I also

The Cosmological argument says that the universe began to exist, therefore the universe has a cause. Magic is more believable than even believing that something just appeared with no cause whatsoever. If something begins existing, there has to be a cause. However, there is an argument to this statement. Has the universe always existed or did it simply one day begin? Atheists believe that the universe has always been here and that there’s nothing to it. This theory is shot down a lot due to extensive

All this,and Heaven by Shinique Smith is a beautiful and unique art piece in the Denver Art museum. It uses many different textiles from blankets, to books, and even a bed frame. Smith is known for her are work with graffiti style paintings and calligraphy but this one is a bit different than the rest of her artwork. What does the title mean All this and, heaven?

Many people argue about the existence of God. McCloskey is one of those people. The following paper will discuss some of the arguments Mr. McCloskey has against God, as well as, a proper rebuttal for them. Mr. McCloskey would argue that the different arguments, or “proofs” as he calls it, do not provide an accurate case for the existence of God, therefore they should be ignored (McCloskey 51). The problem is, that the arguments were never meant to be used as definitive proof, but rather as a “best

the type of God that would exist is an all just and all-knowing supernatural being that has laid down objective moral laws for humans to follow. This is called the moral argument. In this paper I argue that the moral arguments does not stand against objections when trying to prove God’s existence. This paper has five parts beginning with a thorough outline and explanation of the moral argument (1). Next I will present four objections and the theists reply to them. First is that morality doesn’t depend

invent such moral teachings. Hence, those teachings, or Law, come from another source—God—which is far from selfishness. Indeed, Christianity is sensible, for there are evidences that God is making changes in humanity. If there is a God, then who God is by the way? Those who believe in God have always questioned the Supreme Being in whom they believed day by day. Eventually, they start to make the answers

As a Christian and a believer of God, I must defend my belief as said in the Bible in 1 Peter 3: 15-16 (NRSV), “but in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and reverence.” In my philosophical perspective, theism could be the most plausible world view. The theist approach to a plausible world view can be shown through Frank Truek. Truek said that there

Many individuals attempt to define God as an all-knowing being, with omnipotence and omnipresence. While Cusan would agree with this, another version of God dominates his work, The Vision of God. Cusan references and rejects humanity’s efforts to explain and outline God’s existence while simultaneously stressing the unfathomable truth that he deems to be God. Although humanity limits God and his power with its attempts to define him, throughout Cusan’s The Vision of God, God emerges as an utterly
