This agnostic approach involves neither approving nor disapproving of his existence, but rather considering Gods existence to be inherently unknowable which correlates with the Christian belief in the complexity of God as being so vast that he can never be fully comprehended…
An individuals’ conception of god is typically shaped by their familial structure and, I believe, people tend to not question the religion they are raised in. Usually, this does not happen until they hit puberty and start to denounce their parents’ value. No one is born with knowledge about a certain moral code, so those concepts are inherited through the teachings of a family. One is not born knowing that it is bad to hit someone just like how you are not born knowing a language. It seems to…

Christianity is a theistic tradition, while Buddhism is one of the world's few nontheistic religions. Christianity posits personal immortality as the goal of religious life, while Buddhists seek enlightenment and regard personal immortality as impossible.

justifying my poor decisions on my age, such as not attending church regularly. Yet, Mary was roughly around my age and she was willing to do what God wanted her to do.

Lord and know. The particular word for Lord in the Hebrew text is the word Yahweh. Yahweh is the Hebrew name of God meaning I am. In the bible this name was first God associated with God when questioned by Moses in Exodus 3 on what name to call him. The use of the name Yahweh is significant in this passage because it established that the same God discussed in Psalm 139 is the same God who was with Moses in…
concept of faith was simply that if I loved God and followed his commandments, good things would happen to me as a reward. As I grew older, however, multiple events shook my confidence in this idea, and left me more uncertain and unsettled in my journey with Faith. For instance, the death of my Grandmother and the tragic death of a girl in my class during my freshman year of High School made me question my beliefs; I wondered how a supposedly loving and giving God could inflict such pain and…
