So I must cease there. The following argument against the thesis was directly against the validity of the Bible. The argument for and against the Bible’s validity is an extremely touchy subject. One which both sides are fighting a constant tug of war. The argument is widespread, in every state and in every country. We should not, as Christians, be deceived by the illusion that the Bible contradicts itself. I provide two Bible verses that would, at first appearance, seem to contradict one another.
Yet, I validly discredit the argument against them. I point out the vast period of time between their births, I furthermore, explain how one was by point of view from a, man, mortal and sinful, and how God can allow us to see many things but himself. …show more content…
An easy way to remember is to think of it physically, when you climb a mountain you can feel the physical pain in your joints, you become exhausted. However, when you begin your decent down the mountain you experience only half that. The downhill aspect of the thesis is similar. Preceding your struggle uphill, you find relief and peace, a sense of accomplishment for persevering through to the top.

In all of the sources I provide in the proofs we can see an ongoing theme of life’s trials, and how temptation affects how we journey the uphill. I used the quotes from Mere Christianity to explain how we must face the uphill, we cannot do it alone we must cry out to God to carry …show more content…
An import aspect which I should clarify is, to whom does this paper matter? I feel that I am speaking mainly to Christians in need of encouragement, whom are losing their faith in Christ. Those whom are becoming more agnostic, and falling into the trap of atheism. The meaning behind the thesis should be a lighthouse to all those lost sailors out at sea looking for land.
While I feel as though I am speaking to Christians. I also feel that the thesis applies to all those, any race, religion, or age who are in need of encouragement. Another manner of interpreting the thesis, would be to think of the uphill as a tunnel, long and dark. Yet, at the end of the tunnel you can see the outside light, when you reach the outside that is equal to traveling the downhill. It symbolizes relief, and peace. While I may be addressing Christians, the thesis addresses all those searching for that light at the end of the

two great acts of revolt against God, the second of which is the first murder. Cain kills Abel, and we inherit the “mark of Cain”, and the myth of Cain — the belief that we are all somehow murderers at bottom. Until the twentieth century, Judeo-Christianity tended to focus on the first one; the Serpent's apple, popularly if not theologically equated with the discovery of sexuality. But as sexual taboos have lost their old forbidding force, the “mark of Cain” has become relatively more important in…

Critical Thinking And Sanctification Essay

(CT) can be adapted into other Christian disciplines to help facilitate a process that the theological literature has come to regard as noetic sanctification (Peels, 2011), namely, the sanctification of human cognitive processing. The method of this argument is to utilize CT as a faithbased diagnostic tool to help the believer combat the pervasive noetic effects of sin. Despite a number of authors having previously called for a kind of noetic sanctification to combat these noetic effects (Frame, 1987;…
