How I balance theological wisdom, psychological guidelines, and my personal belief system is having the ability or aptitude to discern and to judge what is morally right. The information I gain from theological wisdom which entails "Christian theology wisdom" supports my own methodology and belief system. In regards to the psychological guidelines, I am compliant with the rules and regulations and ask the Holy Spirit for assistance if needed. Thus, this is how I find balance within theological wisdom, psychological guidelines, and my personal belief system.
I learned that theological wisdom is gained from God, the Almighty and it is depicted as an aspect of God. The Bible expounds or explains this fact in (Proverbs 2:6). "For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding."[1] Christian wisdom/theology relates to serenity, devotion, holiness,

speak from my own testimony, one cannot receive Christian wisdom out of a textbook and Christian wisdom has given me the opportunity to live a healthy and peaceful lifestyle even though procuring a doctorate degree at South University gives me anxiety. I am doing well overall in my courses nevertheless, I still experience anxiety because of the experiences I had to endure at South University.
A few examples: I had a professor at South University literally condemned me for the challenges that shaped my destiny and my life. I went from being an A student to a ____ student in this individual's class. I stood firm in my conviction.
Another facilitator conversed to me that "I am not supposed to use beautiful sentences." To converse to a student how to articulate their thought process is wrong. Freedom of
Summary In the book, Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality, Mark McMinn commences by providing the groundwork for the Christian worldview about counseling. He indicates that the book is crucial for individuals interested in looking into the aspect of intra-disciplinary integration (McMinn, 1996). In his exploration of the intra-disciplinary integration frontier, McMinn (1996) focuses on the challenges that Christian counselors face in their practice. As McMinn (1996) discusses the aspect of integration, he disregards religious interventions as well as foundational perspectives, indicating that they might not apply to the identified frontier.
There are roughly 4,200 religions in the world. A religion is sometimes used to adjust someone's faith or beliefs, and overall their life. Some of the ways as to how religion affects the lives of its followers are socially and politcally. Socially, it affects how people treat others, how people act toward themselves and how people live. Politically, it affects leadership, law and the wealthiness of the government.
Religions have greatly shaped their followers' lives by their origin stories, societal teachings, and tone in their writings. Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism are different in their attitudes and creation stories, but similar in their social impacts. %Origin In the Islam, Hindu, and Buddhism beliefs and teachings, they differ in the number of gods worshiped and origin of life. In the Five Pillars of Faith, the Shahadat duty requires that "A Muslim must acknowledge that 'There is no God but Allah...'".
What are some people that helped the growth of Christianity? Christianity is the part of the five main religions, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, Christianity and Islam. Jesus Christ inspired Christianity. Christianity was created by Paul. Poor people were turning to Christian because it is a religion that is open to anyone, even the poor.
As stated, God has created all of nature and thus His truth should be able to be found through it. Because of this, Christians should also understand that knowledge gained from nature can be true even if it is not outlined in the Bible. As a sinful people discerning God’s truth from nature, it is necessary for there to be a lot of wisdom and self-reflection on the Christian’s part. In understanding psychology and theology, we as Christians must first understand intellectual humility. Entwistle said this about intellectual humility, “Humility as an intellectual virtue involves our recognition of our intellectual abilities and liabilities.
The Christian View vs. The Muslim View of the Crusades The crusades were a set of different military actions that were sanctioned by the Catholic Church and the papacy. Their intention was to recapture Holy Lands they believed were rightfully theirs from the Muslim people that had invaded it. As any attack on a large group of people would do, every major group was affected. The Christians had their own reasons and beliefs for going on these Crusades.
I was raised as a Christian and embraced the faith for many years. During this time, I read the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, rejecting all other religions as bogus, believing that Christianity was the only true pathway to God and salvation. It was while studying at the University of the West Indies that I began to question the rationality of my beliefs. The churches that I had attended were Anglican and Missionary, and the doctrines of many other denominations were alien to me. So I invited Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons into my home and engaged them in conversations regarding their beliefs, as well as entertaining dialogue with Roman Catholics, Seventh-day Adventists, Pentecostals and others.
In the story “By the Waters of Babylon”, the quote “A priest must know many secrets-that was what my father said”(45) relates to how knowledge must be pursued at all costs because the son feels like he needs to have that knowledge. “If I went to the Place of the Gods, I would surely die, but if I did not go, I could never be at peace with my spirit again”(46). This can compare to being ignorant because it is more convenient and safe if he stays home, but he wants to pursue and go to the Place of the Gods even though he knows it is very risky.
Wisdom is not only to have deep knowledge and rests at the experience but also not to realize wise oneself and not to commit amiss things.
“Nope”, the answer would slip off the tip of my tongue whenever the question, “Are you thinking of going to a Christian college?” was directed at me. By my freshmen year of high school, I felt emotionally stretched thin and constrained by the small Christian school I commuted to for 8 years. It was set in my head that I would not attend a Christian college. However, after my turbulent journey through anxiety in my freshmen year, I came to understand the importance of being part of Christian community.
As I reflect on the past 15 months of attending CCU. I recall the excitement, and the overwhelming stress of having to work full time and attend online college. I was not sure that I could complete my degree at fifty years old. Because of being out of school for over 30 years. I was somewhat reluctant to give it a try.
“In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.” I said as i dutifully made the sign of the cross and picked up my book of hymns. As the organist began playing, I stared at the large golden cross that hung above the altar, its metallic sheen contrasting with the deep green marble. I was baptized as a Catholic, attended a Catholic elementary school and high school, and attended church every Sunday with my family. I made my first reconciliation and received a small silver cross necklace with a tiny peridot in the center.
The ultimate goal of human life for Plato is to know and understand the truth or the “eidos” of the “good”. The only way for us to see this truth is through our minds. The truth is not accessible in the physical world but in the intellectual realm. For us to be happy or for use to know the truth is only when we are beyond our physical sense it is a totally different level. So according to Plato, “knowledge” and “virtue” are corollary meaning that as long as one exists the other will follow.
Culture and Religion seem to be working hand in hand in society, when looking at culture we look at characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people, defined by everything from language, religion, food, social habits (things that are done natural e.g. saying please and thank you), music and arts. With religion people often use the word to mean the worship of a god or gods. However, some religions do not have gods. One thing that all religions have in common is that they help their believers to find meaning and comfort in the world by using some aspects from that particular religion. With culture and religion playing a big role in our everyday and life choices contraceptives go against a lot of cultural and religion choices and
Discuss the difference between numinous and mystical religious experience, and give specific examples to illustrate the difference. A religious experience is a strong experience or feeling that pulls you closer to God. There are many different forms of religious experiences, but two of the more prominent type of ones are numinous and mystical religious experiences. Both of these experiences makes one feel as if they are connected with the higher spirit world. A numinous experience is a type of religious experience when you recognize that you are in the presence of something greater than yourself.
