Contradiction Over The Existence Of God

Question: The report should describe the main points as well as reflection on topics that influence your understanding of God. Some themes we are discussing in class that you can relate the book to are The Mystery of God, Images of God, arguments for and against God's Existence, the Mystery of Suffering and Evil, God as Trinity, Jesus the Word of God made flesh, the work of the Holy Spirit, God speaks: Revelation Grace, Encountering God today: Ecclesiology Sacramentality. Answer: The existence of God from the ancient time has been a matter of contradiction. When the theosophists seem to have concreted the existence of God boldly, the pessimists have overhauled them. But still being in the 21st century, no conclusion on the existence of God seems to have reached yet. For me the concept of God is seen from a humanist point of view. Though for most of the time in my lifespan I barely have prayed unless I got trapped in a cupid situation. Therefore, I can identify myself better as an atheist. I believe the concept of God is a mere chap who stands as nothing but to fulfill the necessities. Henceforth, I believe worshipping of God is worshipping of oneself. This is the point of weakness which haunts every human being. Whatever may the religion or caste one may seem to be but it has some convenient sources to be worshipped. There is nothing who can resolve any situation. It is the confidence of a person which gets breached and he or she gets into worshipping of God. The image of God, I think had been initiated in the past which carried forward through the ages and develops an aghast outlook. The concept of God in all the religions is preached with intense goodness, powerful, loving and caring. But often it appears to be exaggerated. On the other hand, all the evil and poignancy is rendered by the wanton forces that are in fight against goodness. In The Bible it is stated that God inflicts pain on human being to teach them a lesson. It protects the essence of God. The love of God is more Agape which is special and more attributive. The objective it states as God loves human being it is also the duty of us that we should pay respect and tribute. As the love between the husband and wife is more intense, love between God and human being is also needed to be more sophisticated and self sacrificing. But the pessimists say that the respect for God comes from intense fear and scariness that one renders for God. Being a follower of Freud I do believe that we offer compensation to the God for let us keeping away from the sufferings and pains God to me is nothing but a concept that is used for fulfilling of the wishes. According to Fraud false approach of religions to appease the common human being helps in generating the utilitarian image of God. In the name of religious faith, psychological games are played which not only decisive, it is rather a fraud and cheat (Freud and Strachey, 1966). The concept of healing, stabilizing and providing hierarchy is an effeminate approach that let people to keep intense faith on the existence of God. Nietzsche has pointed out that the concept of God is nothing but corrupted and collapsed on the face of civilized society. The God, according to Nietzsche has become sinful and patronizes sinners. The deceptive and delusive nature of God has become a tarnishing factor for this current social ethos. The concept of theodicy justifies the concept of God is completely free from all evils. God only puts commoners into transience only to let them learn what they actually are. According to Augustinian theory of theodicy evil or abuse is not so much ethnic which is guided by free will. The approach of God although is mentioned to be unique but for most of the cases it seems to be useless in the approaches. If I suffer from pains, my God never suffers. Rather the divine defense is much like imagining having no concrete base. The concept of Trinity consists of Holy Spirit, God and Jesus. The concept of God is spiritual. He is having all power and potentiality which makes him holy. He is the creator of the world, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the second factor in the concept of Trinity, the Son of God. In the human existence the approach and dedication of Jesus is intense. Being the worship of Jesus one can create a direct contact with the God. As God has been stated as of having all the power, Jesus being the Son of God, He also inherits all the power. Finally, the concept of Holy Spirit comes in Trinity. God is called to be the Holy Spirit and His Son Jesus as well. Holy Spirit helps in organizing the world structure and helps in attaining the will of the world. The holy spirit is literally sophisticated concept. References Freud, S. and Strachey, J.
