Don’t blame it on the Devil

Nov 21st, 2009 | By Sean | Category: God and Philosophy

We go through this life being taught in Church that ‘it’s the Devil who did this’, ‘it’s the Devil who did that’. We are made to think that the Devil is the antagonist and that he is responsible for our miseries and our pitfalls. I tell you the truth, the Devil will be judged by God for his own sins, not for the sins he tempted you to commit – those sins are on your own hands.



“A 130php coffee is good for me. There’s a planner when I reach my 17th anyway.” Justification is unjust.

Sep 21st, 2009 | By Sean | Category: God and choice

Perfect is not perfect anymore and will never be perfect again when a mistake occurs in it’s state. We all have a choice – it is God-given to us as human beings. Everyday we make hundreds or even thousands of choices in our lives. Choice is vulnerable. Vulnerable to our feelings, to our wisdom, to [...]



Did free will ever exist? – God and choice

Aug 23rd, 2009 | By Sean | Category: God and choice

Indeed everything that God created is good. Though ever it can be used for malice and twisted into evil. It was October 1, 2008 and this thought just popped into my mind as I was swimming alone in a pool at Tropical Palace, trying to buff up my stamina for the supposed basketball game later that [...]



Did God create evil? God and philosophy

Aug 16th, 2009 | By Sean | Category: God and Philosophy

This is one of the most controversial questions that everyone has in the back of his or her own mind. At some point in time, our human logic will ask why an all-powerful God would create the all-evil person that Christianity in our world today know as Satan.
