What is Man? (The Biblical Philosophy of Man)

Posted Tue, 11/08/2011 - 18:57 by admin
MAN IS THE MOST MYSTERIOUS of God’s creation. Many theories arose as to his origins. Many define him as a “rational animal” which evolved from the lowest forms and has the capacity to develop into the highest form, become superman and even become a god freed from the limitations he presently finds himself in. The wisdom of man contained in science and philosophy produced diverse ideas about what man is and what he can become without the help of the Being who caused his existence.
            Man came into existence because God created him for a purpose. This fact man must know from God because, by himself alone, he will never be able to find out who he is, how he came to be, what he is for, and what is in store for him in the future ...

1. Consider trials as pure joy
Consider the many kinds of trials that you experience as pure joy. Through trials, our faith is being put to the test and this develops our perseverance—and those who persevere until the end will be justified before God and worthy of receiving salvation.As the Bible teaches, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.  Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” (James 1:2-4, NIV) ...

What if there were no God

Posted Fri, 06/04/2010 - 20:05 by admin

... As admitted by a well-known atheist French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre, atheism necessarily implies that “All existing things are born for no reason, continue through weakness and die by accident… It is meaningless that we are born; it is meaningless that we die” ...

Why are we suffering if there were God?

Posted Fri, 06/04/2010 - 19:54 by admin

... whereas other religions such as Eastern traditions typically put sorrow, pain, and suffering in the category of illusion—that “evil and suffering are real only as long as the ego believes them to be real” and that “they will fade away as one gains enlightenment about the illusory nature of the phenomenal world,” Christianity, on the other hand, bluntly confronts these profound issues from the very first pages of Genesis ...

But unaware as many of us God’s children may be, we too are inevitably engaged in a brutal form of fight …

All religions: Just various roads all leading to God?

Posted Thu, 04/29/2010 - 20:15 by admin

 

ARE ALL RELIGIONS TRUE?

If by the term ‘true,’ as used as an adjective for ‘religion,’ we mean “leading to God” and “recognized and accepted by Him,” then to claim that “all religions are true” is to suggest, in essence, that all faiths are fundamentally the same.

Indeed, this is what many people in this age of pluralism believe. As various faiths incessantly emerge in every sector of our society, many are led to suppose that religions are only superficially different ...

'They have been long written in the Bible'

Posted Fri, 04/16/2010 - 23:24 by admin
 
…IF YOU WERE living in the past when there were no telescope, camera, television, space shuttle, and the like, would you believe if someone came with the news that the earth was round and hanged on nothing?
          The old view is contrary to this. Such news was then far-fetched and hard to believe. People would have probably just raised an eyebrow, shrugged the shoulders, or condemned the one who brought such unusual information. This happened to Galileo Galilei ...
