Theology; the study of god


4 primary sources; bible, tradition, reason, experience
Catholicism puts more emphasis on bible and tradition

9/5

My definitions: Faith- believing based upon spiritual relationships

and not facts


Belief- believing something is un-doubt ably true
Religion- the belief in a spiritual existence
Faith belief and religion are not the same things

Belief; intellectual concept, things we regard as true


Faith; a deeper kind of seeing, more than our physical senses, it
affects how we see ourselves, who we are and where we are
going. According to the catechism of the Catholic Church; faith is
a gift of god. Faith is an authentically human act by which we
trust god and his providence and love. Faith is the beginning of
eternal life, the experience of friendship with god. Faith is our
freely chosen habit of responding positively to god( true faith is
not forced). Faith begins with god not us. Faith is a theological
virtue(hope and love too).
Theological means concerning god
Virtue means a good habit or response
God initiates, we respond(vocation)
Belief(my faith demonstrates) less risky then faith(I believe)
Religion= the particular way we like to express and organize our
beliefs and faith
Ones religion isnt the same as ones spiritually. Spiritually is how
we prefer to live/ demonstrate our faith.
Humanities relationship with god- judeo-Christians tradition
belives= humans are made in the image and likeness of god. We
possess a spiritual principal that is a reflection of god body and
soul. Our minds have the ability to imagine god. Our hearts seek
a relationship with god. Our souls long to be complete with god.
God gives each of us a vocation or ones calling, purpose or
destiny in life.
Group conformity; to do what the group does, can be trivial or
severe in nature(lose sense of identity). Necessary to belong

Individual independence; being more or less free from peer


pressure. Being free to say, do, think, believe what you want

What does the church have to do with religion, faith, church.


Church(group conformity) Prayer(individual independence)

Moralistic therapeutic deism belief statements. A god exists


who created the world and watches over it, god does not have to
be involved in ones ife except when god is needed to fix a
problem, the central goal in life is to be happy and feel good
about ones self, god wants people to be good, fair and noice to
each other, good people go to heaven when they die

church the building used for worship

Church- a convocation, the people of god called together for a


purpose(worship), the creed says one holy catholic apostolic
church. One is a sense of unity. Holy- guided by god(relationship)
catholic w/ lowercase c means universal. Apostolic means
grounded in the teaching of the apostles.

Whats expected of me as an individual

What is expected of us, the groups(church)

Are these two questions/ answers in tension with each other

Are we both as individuals and community fully living what god


created us to be.
