Miracles seem to occur all throughout the bible. Jesus’ resurrection, the turning of water into wine, the splitting of the red sea, Jonah surviving inside a whale, Hercules inhuman strength, Daniel surviving inside a den of hungry lions, the list goes on. I’m not quite sure as Christians we should jump to an immediate yes….

Why did God create evil?
I first examine Plantinga’s Free Will Defence for God’s possible reason for allowing evil, then give a theodicy, what that reason actually is. Does the good outweighs the evil in the world? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f36d7c1e5b6cb8c0d88151/t/5b819b372b6a282494d6a96e/1535220574762/Plantinga+-+God%2C+Freedom%2C+and+Evil+.pdf It’s been two years. Lets talk about free will. It seems to me to be at the heart of the problem of…
Avengers- Captain America Civil War. brief thoughts on Baron Zemo
I recently rewatched Avengers Civil war and I’m blown away by the evil brilliance of Baron Zemo’s plot to tear the avengers apart. When he was captured in the end by Black Panther, Ross asked Zemo how it felt to see his plans fail so spectacularly after spending so much time and effort and Zemo…
Update 2
It’s been a long time! I’ve been super busy for the past half a year in between college graduation events, game development, job interviews, family and friends, but I’m back. The pile of ideas in my mind was driving me mad and so I had to sit down once more to write it all down…
How can one have the ability and not have at the same time to accept imputation of righteousness?
We begin with the problem of sin. The inescapable, inevitable, and looming face of death stares us in the face all day long, and sometimes, because the mirror in which we see ourself(consciousness) is muddied, we are not even able stare back into our own reflection and see the stains covering our face. Luckily, the…
The Sunk Cost Paradox, what Jesus did not know, and what we know unconsciously, but cannot change
Matthew 24:36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” – NIV When we read the bible often times there may be verses that jump out immediately as an almost sort of visceral reaction. That gut feeling. The psychologist might chalk…
The Crypto Ocean
This post is completely unrelated to theological discussion or even philosophy, I just thought I’d share a cool creative piece for anyone out there interested. I was bored today and while I was watching some YouTube videos with cool ocean animals, I began to think how similar the crypto market is to the ecosystem within…
What is better, stasis vs chaos?
Work hard play hard, an all too commonly used description popularized by Wiz Khalifa seems at times all too accurate of a description of myself. While this attitude and approach towards the responsibilities and joys of life has its positives, it is for the most part, characterized by a chaotic nature. This is a chaos…

Why does being rich make it harder to get into heaven?
Matthew 19:24 – “Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” Let’s break this verse down. When we think of being rich in today’s day an age, we think about material welfare. Being…
